When we log into our forum it just shows the .....well.... forum. I've had a request to possible have the most recent 10 posts show. Is it possible to have a section show at the top or side of the page with the most recent 10 posts? Is there already a mod for this? We use Access for our database and are running the current version of Snitz.
Thanks for any help! bigsmile

Isn't that only for a forum using SQL as it's database? I'm using Access as my database.<

I could be wrong, but I don't see anything that is database-specific in the code. It looks like it should run fine reguardless of your database type.<

Isn't this:
Code:

sqlstr = "SELECT " & _
		"a.CAT_ID, a.FORUM_ID, a.TOPIC_ID, a.T_SUBJECT, a.MSG_ID, a.MSG, a.MSG_DATE, a.MEMBER_ID, a.M_NAME " & _
		"FROM ( " & _
		"SELECT t.CAT_ID, t.FORUM_ID, t.TOPIC_ID, t.T_SUBJECT, '' AS MSG_ID, t.T_MESSAGE AS MSG, t.T_DATE AS MSG_DATE, m.MEMBER_ID, m.M_NAME " & _
		"FROM FORUM_MEMBERS m INNER JOIN FORUM_TOPICS t ON m.MEMBER_ID = t.T_AUTHOR " & _
		"UNION ALL " & _
		"SELECT t.CAT_ID, t.FORUM_ID, t.TOPIC_ID, t.T_SUBJECT, r.REPLY_ID AS MSG_ID, r.R_MESSAGE as MSG, r.R_DATE as MSG_DATE, m.MEMBER_ID, m.M_NAME " & _
		"FROM (FORUM_TOPICS t INNER JOIN FORUM_REPLY r ON t.TOPIC_ID = r.TOPIC_ID) INNER JOIN FORUM_MEMBERS m ON r.R_AUTHOR = m.MEMBER_ID " & _
		") a " & _
		"INNER JOIN FORUM_FORUM f ON f.FORUM_ID = a.FORUM_ID " & _
		"WHERE f.F_PRIVATEFORUMS = 0 " & _
		"ORDER BY MSG_DATE DESC;" 

		'response.Write("<hr/>" & TopSQL(sqlstr, cStr(TABLE_TYPE_TOP)) & "<hr/>")
		'response.flush()
		
Set objRec = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Recordset")
objRec.Open TopSQL(sqlstr, cStr(TABLE_TYPE_TOP)), My_Conn
a SQL query of some kind?<

All database use SQL the language to communicate. Microsoft has a database server technology called "Microsoft SQL Server", and is commonly abbreviated either "MS SQL Server" or even more simply "SQL Server". To add to the confusion, a number of other database servers have the acronym "SQL" in their name - i.e. MySQL.

So should I just be able to post the inc_topMessages.asp file on my forum and then try to browse to it to see if it works? When I try this it times out and says:
Code:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113' 
Script timed out 

/inc_topMessages.asp 

The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.

Yes, you should be able to use it as per the directions. It looks like it was intended to be included on a page, not browsed to on its own.<

just follow the instructions on the MOD, that's all

SQL = Strutured Query Language, if you google it you would know, so, it is a way to query databases, no matter what they are, mySQL, Access, Oracle, Postgree, etc etc etc

Microsoft SQL is one type of database as well Microsoft Access or other, and they all use SQL to query the databases, there is however, instructions that are only available to each database, but they are share the same root, and for that, simple queries are almost the same to all.
The functoin TopSQL makes sure that you can use this query in Access, MS SQL and mySQL.<

The variations of SQL are similar to the variations in English. The basic language structure (English, SQL) is there that most people can understand to converse with each other, but depending on the location (who makes the dialect, who makes the database) then the language varies a little depending on who is using it, for what, and where.<
