Hey there...

I'm trying to find/create a block that displays the last 10 articles of a particular category (topic would work too). I've done quite a bit of searching and haven't been able to come up with anything. I tried to hack the Last 5 Articles block, but as I'm not really a coder, didn't get too far. Does anyone know where I could find this, and/or is it something that is easily doable? I am willing to try hacking the file again with some pointers.

Thanks,

-Arg

Find this line in the block
Code:
$sql = "SELECT sid, title, comments, counter FROM ".$prefix."_stories $querylang ORDER BY sid DESC LIMIT 0,5";
and modify it to
Code:
$sql = "SELECT sid, title, comments, counter FROM ".$prefix."_stories $querylang ORDER BY sid DESC LIMIT 0,10";

Hey thanks for that...

That gets me ten articles, but I still have the issue of getting only stories of one category or topic.

Thanks again...

Try clicking my Topics link and see if that's more of what you're after.

Kind of yes. I am looking for a block that would display only one category that I choose. It would be a left block. So there would be a block for example I called "Addons" and in that block would be the titles of the 10 most recent articles in that category.

Thanks...

I was just looking at your topic module again. The code must be in there to search the db for stories by category. I could limit the # of stories quite easily. Is that a module you made or is somewhere else?

Thanks,

It looks quite good. Vnice module. Do you think its possible to hack the topic code to get ten stories from one topic displayed in a block? If it is, I will putz around and try to do it.

Thanks,

Shouldn't be too difficult at all.
