You can try to use "?><?php" at the beginning, I think that is propper.

Apart frmo this, your code does not evaluate here in my eval() tests at well. It is not suitable for a code to be executed in a PHP Box environment. It is very much suggested that you make a plugin out of this. Also your code would not run because it tries to include wrong files and creates a new DB connection which would kill the s9y db connection. Check the changes I have made below.

This is very easy using the template "serendipity_plugin_gallery_menalto_random": http://nopaste.php-q.net/140741

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 from? the root?

I thought if the file runs on its own and display the 5 recent topics there is a chance to simply have the output in the sidebar, but I guess this is not as easy as I expected.

thanks a lot,
Julian

Julian, sadly that code was not crafted to be included in a page with other content. If the file just fails, try if it contains parse errors. "php -l" with the binary can check that, or any decent PHP Editor...

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 into the php box plugin in the editor but does work when called with include

thanks a lot Garvin,

yours happy Julian

you should say to the users of your fantastic (really fantastic) plugin, that they are not allowed to use the wysiwyg editor for editing the "inserted php code" - i needed 2 hours to recognize this fact !

but the plugin is very good
