Yeah I guess, you're doing awesome work though. This addon is very useful

The issue with checking permissions with this code, is that this is a completely external interface to XenForo, so your user account and permissions are not available. I suppose if it was on the same domain you could share cookies, but at that point it would be far less of a pain to just integrate the XenForo user/session systems into your external code.

This is something i am doing for my website where i use similar code to what's posted, once i am finished and i understand it - i will give a go at updating this little script, but for now it works fine for people not hiding forums.

How would you use this to make a block in the side bar?

How would you use this to make a block in the side bar?

You wouldn't as it's not using the xenforo template/addon stuff, it's purely for outside xenforo.

Nice Liam, I'm trying to add similar functionality to my homepage.

If you need any help let me know, i've pretty much done a full website integration into my site.

Thanks.. I probably will. I don't know if you saw this thread but I got the idea after reading this one. I thought it would be good to have "most liked" as well as "Latest"

Added in full support of your boards permissions for which nodes the visitor is allowed to view as requested

I don't belive this will work for other users
they don't have your geekpoint_symfony class

GeekPoint_Symfony::initializeXenforo($forum_directory, $startTime);

Gah i knew i would forget to add something! Added it, will add it to the global rss post too.

// OT

If you've initialized the xenforo framework, use its database object to perform all your queries. Also, you can use the XenForo_Link class to construct links for any resource inside xenforo. (prepending the route name with ":full" will create absolute links). And make sure you are escaping the thread titles!

$query   = "SELECT [...]";
$threads = XenForo_Application::get('db')->fetchAll($query);

foreach ($threads as $thread)
{
	// The absolute thread url is constructed for you
	$threadUrl = XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('full:threads', $thread);

	// Trimmed and properly escaped
	$threadTitle = XenForo_Template_Helper_Core::helperWordTrim($thread['title'], 50);
}

Hm...

An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.

Path is correct.

 

[Member 3639]

What does the error log on your forum say?

 

[Romchik®]

Undefined variable: config /***/lastpost_xf2.php:28

Line 28:

mysql_connect($config['db']['host'], $config['db']['username'], $config['db']['password']);

 

[Member 3639]

Then your not correctly pointing to your config file.

 

[Romchik®]

I thought that I need nothing else as code from first post
Can you provide code example for config?

 

[Member 3639]

You need to actually edit the vars as pointed out in the comments to point to the correct file locations.

- Same error.

Second version of the code is not working. I've used the one that another user pointed out, where you have to input the db details. That one is working.
I have another problem - it doesn't display any other characters, besides English ones, but I guess this won't be solved, since author is ignoring this thread.
