Simple Slash Mod v.1.1 for Snitz vers 3.4.03
This mod allows you to display content from your forums on any page you choose.
As in the last or most recent topics. I know this has been done to death in some
aspects. But other news or recent posts mods are either for older versions of Snitz,
part of another mod, do not display content from the body of a post or require
database modification.
This mod will allow you to display the author, date and time posted, subject title
of the post, a link to the original post, the number of replies and a portion of
text from the body of the post. The number of topics to be displayed, which forum(s)
are displayed and how much content from the body of the topic is shown are all configurable.
Ease of installation: 1 (1=easy 10=hard)
To install decide if you want to use the mod as a simple, basic stand alone .asp page
or as an include in another page.
No matter which way you choose to use it all you have to do to configure it is edit the
following lines:
Const intTopicCount = 5
This line decides how many topics to display
Const ForumID = "ANY"
This line decides which forum to get the topics from. Either enter the number of a specific forum or "ANY" for all forums.
Const CharsToDisplay = 2000
This line decides how many characters from the topic body
will be displayed.
If you want to use this mod in another page simply place the include statement in the
page in which you want to display the latest topics. Like this:
%>
<!--#include file="inc_simple_slash.asp"-->
<%
A demo of this mod can be seen at www.spinbusters.com
The zip file containing the readme, inc_simple_slash.asp, simple_slash.asp can be
found at ftp://ftp.spinbusters.com/simpleslash.zip -zip file updated 11/29/03
or at www.snitzbitz.com
Topics are now checked to see if the forum is private.
Private forum topics are not displayed.
** This mod works with access and MySql |

No, but that sounds like a good idea. |

Would you download it again and tell me how it looks? I updated the readme with acoustika's fix for mysql and this time I tried to save it with dos
cr and lf rather than mac. I also added the .txt for you pc folks. As for the ds_store, of course I could not see it.... |

I read several articles awhile ago about the .ds_store showing up when you burned a cd with the Mac OS but I had not heard of it showing up with an archive. I will start reading around and see what I can do fix it. I guess for a quick fix I could zip the file while running Virtual PC...
Thanks WWs for checking it out. |

strSql = strSql & " WHERE mo.FORUM_ID = " & fForum_ID & " " |

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: ''

| Most likely becuase you haven't set the FORUM_ID Correctly it's not pulling any topics out so that close fails becuase the second RS was never opened, could be called a bug I suppose too, but make sure you are actually telling it to pull items from a valid forum_id first and see if that doesn't get rid of the error. |

golfman,
Sorry you ran into trouble. Most likely the forum that you have selected does not exist.
Find this line and edit the number to reflect the forum you want to display or replace the number with "ANY" to pull from all the forums.
Const ForumID = 5
That should fix it! |
