Latest Posts

I like the little tutorial on how to put the latest interfaces on a different website.

What i would like is the ability to put the latest POSTS on a different site. AND make it so i can check the latest post in an individual forum.

So on eq2map we could have a section in the forum page that shows latest posts in the eq2map forum.

I can do this for eq2map however I dont know why any one would want to put a eq2i latest posts block on their own webpage. *shrug*

This example will display the 15 latest posts.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html dir="ltr" lang="en">
<head>  
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />  
<title>External EQ2Interface Latest Posts</title> 
</head> 
<body> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/external.php?type=js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript"> 
<!-- 
	for (var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) 
	{ 
		document.write('<a href="http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=' + threads[i]['threadid'] + '">' + threads[i]['title'] + '</a> <em>Posted on: ' + threads[i]['threaddate'] + ' by ' + threads[i]['poster'] + '</em><br />'); 
	} 
//--> 
</script>
</body>
</html>

Ah most usefull with a page reload on a timer on it, means I can just keep a little window up whilst working on other stuff and not have to keep opening the site up, To see if anyone replies to my rambling's thanks Dolby

Here you go Tony...

qty=# //number of posts to show, please keep it under 20.
forumid=# //specifiy a forum id (34 is eq2map)
items=active //only show active threads, if none it shows nothing.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

thanks dolby!

laffs put this in between <head> and </head>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content= "1000">

it should refresh the page every 10 minutes.

taco-man · #10 04-16-2005, 09:22 PM

actually that would be every 16 minutes and 40 seconds

content is the amount of time to wait in seconds.
