		Hi, How can i display a number of actual discussed topics in the template? what is the variable for this? Currently i do this with an rss feed, but i would like to have only the topics of the actual forum... Is this possible?

		I guess you should take a look at our 1st page news add-on (if I understood the problem properly - if not, please explain it different way).

		Hi Paul Can i call the Include with a Parameter to display only Messages from a particular Subforum? Check this: http://www.ignoranz.ch/forum/4_0.html on the right hand side below the Ad, are some Links to topics called "Aktuelle Themen". Actually thats a parsed RSS Feed. But i would like to have only messages from the actual Subforum (#4)... This should be dynamic in every Forum... Best Regards Sandro

		I don't quite understand - why do you need to duplicate topics on the same forums page? I think if you care of SEO this is not really correct approach. In your case I also don't understand by which criteria "Aktuelle Themen" are selected/sorted? I think, in general, this could be a very simple add-on to bb_plugins.php (yet custom), but only if I know the algorithm to display such topics there.

		Hi Paul Sorry, was a bad example. Its especially for the detail Pages, e.g: http://www.ignoranz.ch/forum/6_3182_20.html Its not an SEO issue, its more for the users, to see whats also in the actual subforum. regards sandro

		I think you could put in bb_plugins.php kind of that code (then put {$list} in your template): if($action=='vthread'){ $list='<ul>'; if($td=db_simpleSelect(0, $Tt, 'topic_title, topic_id', 'forum_id', '=', $forum, 'topic_id DESC', 10)){ do{ $list.="<li><a href=\"12_{$td[1]}_0.html\">{$td[0]}</a></li>"; } while($td=db_simpleSelect(1)); $list.='</ul>'; } } I didn't test it so it's in your own hands to make it happen ;-)

		Wow, great. Thanks. Thats it, two little things: 1) The sorting is the wrong way around, the oldest is on top. 2) Would be nice to give a limit of items. atm i think it displays all of them, its a little too much... :-)

	Paul Lead Developer	#8 \| Posted: 19 Nov 2008 05:15
		I have updated the code above, now sorted by newest topics first and limited to 10.

	feuman Partaker	#9 \| Posted: 19 Nov 2008 05:53
		Great, works well. Thank you very much.

		A little update for this code which Paul kindly presented is this: $list.="<li><a href=\"12_{$td[1]}_0.html\">".substr($td[0], 0, 50)."</a></li>"; This should be injected to the original code. This will just cut away too long link text if it's longer than 50 characters. I don't yet know how to add a suffix (like hellips) to the link text, but maybe later. :-)
