Subject: Customization Of Forum_attach_block.tpl

Hi everybody!

I'd like to customize forum_attach_block.tpl in order to visualize in the bottom of forum_attach windows: "this news item has X Views and X comments" like in news_block.tpl.

I know that the necessary code for the template is:

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

{L_NEWS_SUMMARY}&nbsp;<a href="{articles.U_VIEWS}"><b>{articles.COUNT_VIEWS}</b>&nbsp;{L_NEWS_VIEWS}</a>&nbsp;{L_NEWS_AND}&nbsp;<a href="{articles.U_COMMENT}"><b>{articles.COUNT_COMMENTS}</b>&nbsp;{L_NEWS_COMMENTS}</a>

The problem for me is: how to modify php files in order to utilize that code?

For the moment I have done this modification:

OPEN

templates/(your_template)/blocks/forum_attach_block.tpl

FIND

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

<td align="left"><span class="gensmall">{articles_fp.POSTER_CG}&nbsp;[ {articles_fp.TIME} ] 

REPLACE WITH

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

<td align="left"><span class="gensmall">{articles_fp.POSTER_CG}&nbsp;[ {articles_fp.TIME} ] - {L_NEWS_SUMMARY}&nbsp;<a href="{articles.U_VIEWS}"><b>{articles.COUNT_VIEWS}</b>&nbsp;{L_NEWS_VIEWS}</a>&nbsp;{L_NEWS_AND}&nbsp;<a href="{articles.U_COMMENT}"><b>{articles.COUNT_COMMENTS}</b>&nbsp;{L_NEWS_COMMENTS}</a>.

OPEN

blocks/blocks_imp_forum_attach.php

FIND

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

'L_ANNOUNCEMENT' => $lang['Post_Announcement'],

AFTER ADD

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

'L_NEWS_SUMMARY' => $lang['News_Summary'],

'L_NEWS_VIEWS' => $lang['News_Views'],

'L_NEWS_AND' => $lang['News_And'],

'L_NEWS_COMMENTS' => $lang['News_Comments'],

With the last modification now I can visualize "this news item has Views and comments" but my poor php knowledge is not enough to find the way to visualize the number of views and comments.

I have tried to apply in blocks_imp_forum_attach.php new code lines like (extracted and adapted from includes/news.php)

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

'U_COMMENTS' => append_sid(VIEWTOPIC_MG . '?' . POST_FORUM_URL . '=' . $fetchposts[$i]['forum_id'] . '&amp;' . POST_TOPIC_URL . '=' . $fetchposts[$i]['topic_id']),

'U_COMMENT' => append_sid(VIEWTOPIC_MG . '?' . POST_FORUM_URL . '=' . $fetchposts[$i]['forum_id'] . '&amp;' . POST_TOPIC_URL . '=' . $fetchposts[$i]['topic_id']),

'U_VIEWS' => append_sid('topic_view_users.' . phpEx . '?' . POST_TOPIC_URL . '=' . $fetchposts[$i]['topic_id']),

But I don't have a valid result...

Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Walking through IP php pages and trying to understand the code logic I have found the follow solution for my question!

Here all modifications that I have made:

OPEN

templates/(your_template)/blocks/forum_attach_block.tpl

FIND

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

<td align="left"><span class="gensmall">&nbsp;{articles_fp.POSTER_CG}&nbsp;[ {articles_fp.TIME} ]</span> 

REPLACE WITH

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

<td align="left"><span class="gensmall">{articles_fp.POSTER_CG}&nbsp;[ {articles_fp.TIME} ] - {L_NEWS_SUMMARY}&nbsp;<a href="{articles_fp.U_VIEWS}"><b>{articles_fp.COUNT_VIEWS}</b>&nbsp;{L_NEWS_VIEWS}</a>&nbsp;{L_NEWS_AND}&nbsp;<a href="{articles_fp.U_COMMENTS}"><b>{articles_fp.REPLIES}</b>&nbsp;{L_NEWS_COMMENTS}</a>.</span>

OPEN

blocks/blocks_imp_forum_attach.php

FIND

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

'L_ANNOUNCEMENT' => $lang['Post_Announcement'],

AFTER, ADD

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

'L_NEWS_SUMMARY' => $lang['News_Summary'],

'L_NEWS_VIEWS' => $lang['News_Views'],

'L_NEWS_AND' => $lang['News_And'],

'L_NEWS_COMMENTS' => $lang['News_Comments'],

FIND

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

'REPLIES' => $fetchposts[$i]['topic_replies'],

AFTER, ADD

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

				'COUNT_VIEWS' => $fetchposts[$i]['topic_views'],

				'U_COMMENTS' => append_sid(VIEWTOPIC_MG . '?' . POST_FORUM_URL . '=' . $fetchposts[$i]['forum_id'] . '&amp;' . POST_TOPIC_URL . '=' . $fetchposts[$i]['topic_id']),

				'U_VIEWS' => append_sid('topic_view_users.' . $phpEx . '?' . POST_TOPIC_URL . '=' . $fetchposts[$i]['topic_id']),

OPEN

fetchposts.php

FIND

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

t.topic_replies,

IN-LINE AFTER, ADD

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

t.topic_views,

There are three occurrances and I have put the code after all of them (I don't know if it was strictly necessary)

FIND

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

$posts[$i]['topic_replies'] = $row['topic_replies'];

AFTER, ADD

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

$posts[$i]['topic_views'] = $row['topic_views'];

There are two occurrances.

After all those modifications... the template was functioning correctly!!!! :icy_lol_flag: :icy_lol_flag: :icy_lol_flag:
