didn't want to accept it as there are several sites around with recent topics integrated in some kind of php blog software. I've tried 'include' and it works now! :-)

I guess I just was too stupid and you guys already assumed I had used 'include'. So I understand the code doesn't work when pasted ...

Thank you Garvin,

I've pasted the code into a new and empty plugin file but calling it from plugin installer menu is not possible:
Fehler: serendipity_plugin_recent_posts

Do I have to adapt something in the code?
When reffering to a path - which is the relative position the plugin is referring ...

Garvin,

could it be that some text formatting plugin has influence on the code when entering and saving with the editor? As the editor is basically designed for entry writing and not for php code pasting?

thanks,

Hi Garvin,

thanks a lot.
The original code (without removement of <? and ?>):


<?php
// ############ Edit below ########################################
$topic_length = '30'; // length of topic title
$topic_limit = '5'; // limit of displayed topics
$special_forums = '1'; // specify forums ('0 ...

Hi Garvin,

yes, I've removed <? and ?>. Still the following:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE ... plugins/serendipity_plugin_phpbox/serendipity_plugin_phpbox.php(82) : eval()'d code on line 3

I've pasted the php code in editor's html mode, not wysiwyg mode. I hope this is correct ...

Thanks Oliver,

I've pasted the code with and without "<?php ?>" but still get the same error. It might have something to do with the global variables as stated in the thread about the php box. But I don't know how I could modify the code in order to get it work. The code displays the 5 recent posts ...

did anybody solve this problem until know?
would like to use the plugin but getting the same error ...

thanks,
Julian

Thank you Oliver,

but I suffer under the same problem as stated in the corresponding thread (parse error ......). I did not see this problem solved. Or do you know how?

Thank You,

Julian

Hi,

I would like to embed some small php code into the side bar. The code is stored in a php file and displays the 5 recent posts in my phpbb board.

Is there a simple way to do that? Is the "external php app" plugin recommended? I've read something about a php bos plugin for the side bar but didn ...

Hi Garvin,

I only found topics about people want to remove the "#extended" in order to avoid the software jumping to the extended point (scroll bar). And I didn't find something like I've added now (' if not $entry.is_extended '). But I guess I've not searched properly :D

However, nice to hear ...

OK, I don't know nothing about PHP, but having peeked and poked in the past (c64) and written some "turbo pascal" apps helped me to figure it out in the default.tpl:

{if not $entry.is_extended}
{$entry.body}
{/if}

I hope this won't affect anything else and lead to problems :D

thanks again ...

Thank you Garvin,

yes, before placing my question I did find when to remove the "#extended" term. But I think I have to clarify :) What I would like to have:

DISABLE the preview text when in extended view mode. In other words: In extended view mode I would like to see the extended entry ONLY, not ...

Hi all,

first of all I would like say that I am very happy with this great blog software and would like to thank the developers.

My question / wish:
When following the link "vollständig lesen" (I guess it's something like "continue to full view" in English) I would prefer to just read the extended ...
