Add last 10 and scroll in the block

Eduardo · Worker Joined: Jul 20, 2004 Posts: 110 Location: Italy

Please help me to add last 10 and the scroll into the following block:

Code:

<?php
if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {
Header('Location: ../index.php');
die();
}

global $prefix, $db;
$content = "";
$page_content = array();
$result = $db->sql_query("SELECT pid, cid, title FROM " . $prefix . "_pages WHERE active='1'");
while (list($pid, $cid, $title) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
$page_content[$cid][] = array('pid'=>$pid, 'title'=>$title);
}

$result2 = $db->sql_query("SELECT cid, title FROM " . $prefix . "_pages_categories");
while (list($cid, $title) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result2)) {
$content .= "<b> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"content-cat-.html$cid\">$title</a></b><br>";
if(!empty($page_content[$cid])){
foreach($page_content[$cid] as $value){
$content .= "  · <a href=\"contentid-.html".$value['pid']."\">".$value['title']."</a><br>";
}
}
}

?>

Many thanks.

Wow how did this one escape us?

If you still need help with this please clarify exactly what you are trying to do.

Are you trying to list every category and then show the last 10 pages for each.

Yes, so:
· Category 1

· Category 2

All scrolling.

Many thanks for your help.

What order should the categories and then pages appear?

Please inform me if the modifications I ask is difficult to achieve.

montego · Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2009 9:10 am

Eduardo, just thought of something, what about pages with no category?

Edited: Also, you say pages should be chronological, but what order? I.e., Most recent first or the opposite?

Eduardo · Worker Joined: Jul 20, 2004 Posts: 110 Location: Italy

Most recent first.

In the script I inserted the category is cronological. I need alphabetical.

Eduardo, ok, worked on this a little bit and here is what I came up with:

Code:

<?php
if (!defined('BLOCK_FILE')) {
Header('Location: ../index.php');
die();
}

$blkh = 10; // Number of lines high
$blkw = 45; // Number of characters wide 0 = unused
$scron = 1; // Turn scrolling on by setting to 1
$scrdr = 'up'; // Scroll direction (up, down, left, or right)
$scrhg = 200; // Scroller height in pixels
$scrwd = 145; // Scroller width in pixels
$speed = 2; // Speed Of Scroll
$scrolldelay = 75; // Scroll delay - small the number the smoother the scroll

global $prefix, $db;
$content = '';

$result = $db->sql_query('SELECT `cid`, `title` FROM `' . $prefix . '_pages_categories` ORDER BY `title`');
if ($db->sql_numrows($result) > 0) {
if ($scron == 1) {
   $content .= '<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="'.$scrdr.'" height="'.$scrhg.'" width="'.$scrwd.'" scrollamount="'.$speed.'" scrolldelay="'.$scrolldelay.'" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()"><br />';
}
$content .= '<div id="ContentLast"><ul>'; // special 'id' is provided so can style the <ul> tags according to personal liking via ".ContentLast ul" and ".ContentLast ul ul"
// Cycle through each category
while (list($cid, $title) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
   $content .= '<li>' . $title;
   $result1 = $db->sql_query('SELECT `pid`, `title` FROM `' . $prefix . '_pages` WHERE `active` = \'1\' AND `cid` = \'' . $cid . '\' ORDER BY `pid` DESC LIMIT 10');
   if ($db->sql_numrows($result1) > 0) {
      $content .= '<ul>';
      while (list($pid, $ptitle) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result1)) {
         $content .= '<li><a href="contentid-' .$pid . '.html">' . $ptitle .'</a></li>';
      }
      $content .= '</ul>';
   }
   $content .= '</li>';
}
$content .= '</ul></div>';
if ($scron == 1) {
   $content .= '</marquee>';
}
}

?>

This is what you have asked for thus far plus a little bit more (with the marquee options). I added a special DIV wrapper to it so that you can use CSS to style the individual <ul> tags to your liking.

Hopefully you found this helpful and wouldn't mind donating to Raven's site here a little bit to help out with covering his expenses. Wink

I made a donation.
Congratulations on your skill and sophistication.
I have some problems of style.
The margins are too far.
On the categories there are not the links and the bold in the text, even the text color is not correct.

Eduardo, I could not find any CSS statements in any of your .css files to style this. You need to add the proper CSS to this theme file:

themes/fiapple211/style/style.css

Here are just a couple of things to try to get you started (add to the above file):

Code:

.ContentLast ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-position: inside;
}

.ContentLast ul ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-position: inside;
}

That should give you some ideas on how to style it.

Following style.css
At the end there is your code.

Dang it! My apologies! I used an "id" not "class". Change each of the ".ContentLast" to "#ContentLast". So sorry about that. Sad

Dear Montego many thanks.

I need the link and the bold style on the category.

montego · Posted: Wed Dec 09, 2009 6:44 am

Eduardo, I have given you enough, I believe, to where you can now look up the other CSS that you need to do this quite easily. Yes, I could do this for you, but then you wouldn't learn anything from it. The following is an excellent site for learning CSS:

Eduardo · Worker Joined: Jul 20, 2004 Posts: 110 Location: Italy

I think the solution is in the block code, not in the CSS file.

My first block make the bold text and the link to the category by the following script:

Quote:

$content .= "<b> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"content-cat-.html$cid\">$title</a></b><br>";
if(!empty($page_content[$cid])){
foreach($page_content[$cid] as $value){
$content .= "  · <a href=\"contentid-.html".$value['pid']."\">".$value['title']."</a><br>";

not by CSS file.

I can learn the CSS discipline, but surely it will not suffice.

nuken · Posted: Wed Dec 09, 2009 9:06 am

Something like this should give you the main cat link. You could use bold or strong tags to make it bold.

find and replace

Code:

$content .= '<li>' . $title;

with

Code:

$content .= '<li><a href="content-cat-'.$cid.'.html">'.$title.'</a>';

Thanks for your help but for me it is not enough.
Unfortunately I am not able to complete the good work done by Montego.
Please, try you to complete the block.

Eduardo · Worker Joined: Jul 20, 2004 Posts: 110 Location: Italy

Montego
I checked the block, also the link of the content pages are break.

montego · Posted: Thu Dec 10, 2009 6:37 am

Eduardo, the original block code that you provided appeared to me to use ShortLinks or other form of GoogleTap, therefore, that is the style link that I provided and it works perfectly in my environment. In addition, there are NO code changes needed, only CSS, in order to get the category titles bolded and the links underlined.

Tell you what. I do not have time today to do this for you, but I will be off work tomorrow and will make these tweaks for you. HOWEVER, please let me know what type of nuke system you are running, plus version, and whether you are using ShortLinks, or GT-NExtGEn or any other type of link shortening system.

Eduardo · Worker Joined: Jul 20, 2004 Posts: 110 Location: Italy

RavenNuke v 2.30.02
Content Plus 2.2.1
Today I am not using ShortLinks/GT-NExtGEn.

   } else {
      $content .= $title;
   }
   $result1 = $db->sql_query('SELECT `pid`, `title` FROM `' . $prefix . '_pages` WHERE `active` = 1 AND `cid` = ' . (int)$cid . ' ORDER BY `pid` DESC LIMIT ' . $pages);
   if ($db->sql_numrows($result1) > 0) {

   }
   $content .= '</li>';
}
$content .= '</ul></div>';
if ($scron == 1) {
   $content .= '</marquee>';
}
}
?>

For your CSS, you can try the following:

Code:

#ContentLast ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-position: inside;
font-weight: bold;
}

#ContentLast ul ul {
padding-left: 1em;
list-style-position: inside;
font-weight: normal;
}

Style should NEVER be applied using the old HTML tags any longer.

ShortLinks/GT "taps" are not provided because you are not using them.

This should do it?

P.S. I am going to recommend this block for our 2.5.0 release and/or for Jonathan if he wishes to include with ContentPlus.
