Recent Posts do not show in the block
« on: 26.04.10, 21:48:43 »
For some reason recent posts don't show up in the block.

The block shows and you can collapse/expand it but, it's empty.

I can show recent posts on my frontpage using:
Code: [Select]
<?php
ssi_recentposts();
?>
So, recent posts seems to work fine.

Could it be I have my forum put in the root, not inside a forum/  folder?
Is so, where would I go in PortaMx to change the path for recent posts to reflect my path which does not use the forum/ folder?

I figured that out in the past!

I was using it as an example of what I did in the HTML frontpage block.

In the PortaMx recent post block, it sets everything for you so there is no user input for this.

Does the PortaMx block use ssi_recentposts();?

If so why can I get it to show on my frontpage, but it doesn't show in the PortaMx block?

I was thinking it was file path related.

I can show you better by this:  ActivePatriot.Org

Left side Recent Posts block empty.
Frontpage near bottom I can pull Recent Posts.

I'm putting on frontpage until I get the Recent Posts block working.

You have defines the board you will see new post from?
Note the call parameter:
Code: [Select]
ssi_recentPosts($num_recent = 8, $exclude_boards = null, $include_boards = null, $output_method = 'echo')You have to set a list of boards for $include_boards as array ...

Why you not use the New Post block from PortaMx ?

I use New Posts block from PortaMx, I set it to show 6 posts, but now it show only 2, one fever than yesterday. Why does it not show 6 posts? I set the block to show posts from only one board.

SMF itself use a logic to find the number of recent posts, which is calculated by:
$modSettings['maxMsgID'] - 25 * min($num_recent, 5)


Have this board only older posts and the other boards have many new posts, the recent post returns less then max.
