Greetings,

I'm looking for the code for the 'jump to last post' feature. I have on my portal/frontpage, a little section that shows the last 5 topics that have been replied to in the forum. And I would like to add this little feature to it as well, because when you click on the topic, it takes the user to the fist post in the topic, which is kinda annoying if the whole topic is 3 or 4 pages.

I know that the code is to be found in the snitz forum 3.4 but I'm not so good at asp yet, so I couldn't make it work.

Could anyone help me out?

Regards

It's the function DoLastPostLink() (forum.asp, line 881) that does the job:


Function DoLastPostLink()
	if Topic_Replies < 1 or Topic_LastPostReplyID = 0 then
		DoLastPostLink = "<a href=""topic.asp?" & ArchiveLink & "TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID & """>" & getCurrentIcon(strIconLastpost,"Jump to Last Post","align=""absmiddle""") & "</a>"
	elseif Topic_LastPostReplyID <> 0 then
		PageLink = "whichpage=-1&"
		AnchorLink = "&REPLY_ID="
		DoLastPostLink = "<a href=""topic.asp?" & ArchiveLink & PageLink & "TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID & AnchorLink & Topic_LastPostReplyID & """>" & getCurrentIcon(strIconLastpost,"Jump to Last Post","align=""absmiddle""") & "</a>"
	else
		DoLastPostLink = ""
	end if
end function

You will probably have to do some modification though.

OneWayMule,

Thanks, But I managed to figure that out - actually (Not totally stupid am I

)

But I have to integrate it in the existing code, and that's giving me a headache.

The code is:


<% 
			if IsNull(rs("T_LAST_POST_AUTHOR")) then
				strLastAuthor = ""
			else
				strLastAuthor = "" 
				if strUseExtendedProfile then
					strLastAuthor = strLastAuthor & "<a href=""forum/pop_profile.asp?mode=display&id="& rs("T_LAST_POST_AUTHOR") & """>"
				else
					strLastAuthor = strLastAuthor & "<a href=forum/pop_profile.asp?mode=display&id=" & rs("T_LAST_POST_AUTHOR") & ">"
				end if
				strLastAuthor = strLastAuthor & rs("LAST_POST_AUTHOR_NAME") & "</a>"
			end if
		
			
		currForum = rs("FORUM_ID") %>
		<a href="forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=<% =rs("TOPIC_ID") %>&FORUM_ID=<% =rs("FORUM_ID") %>&CAT_ID=<% =rs("CAT_ID") %>&Topic_Title=<% =ChkString(left(rs("T_SUBJECT"), 50),"urlpath") %>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(rs("F_SUBJECT"),"urlpath") %>" style="text-decoration:underline"><% =ChkString(left(rs("T_SUBJECT"), 50),"display") %></a> <br>[ <%=rs("F_SUBJECT") %> ]<br>af: <%= strLastAuthor & DoLastPostLink %><hr size=1 color=white noshade>

(Of course there is alot of other code as well, but I don't think it relevant?)

And it makes something like this appear:

[Topic name]
[Forum name]
[Author/User name]
[vertical line]

(Its set so it shows five of these latest posts)

And provides with links to every topic name, and the username.

What I tried didn't work...

If you could post a link to a .txt version of your file (or at least the part with the sql string) I'll take a look at it.

Here you go:

inc_seneste5.txt

Also, I think there is a lot of unnecessary code, but as I'm no genius with asp, I haven't touched so much.

- And thanks for your time :) (I appriciate it very much)

Best Regards
