in the function ShowMainPage of the index.php file:

change the following:

  // mod for $top_links_by_hits
  global $category,$new_links,$hot_links,$login_box,$rec_links,$recomended_listing,
	  $total_link,$total_hits,$total_category, $total_member,$total_milis, $top_links_by_hits
, $most_recent;

then after the line "$new_links = $new_links_obj->Display();" insert the following:

// mod for top5 by hits
  $query = "select link_id, title, url from idx_link order by date desc";
  $result = $conn->Execute($query);
  $total = $result->RecordCount();
	$number=$i=0;
	while($i<5 && $i<$total) {
	  	$result->move($i);
	  	$lid = $result->Fields("link_id");
		$title = $result->Fields("title");
		$url = $result->Fields("url");
		$number++;
		$top_links_by_hits .= "$number. <a href=detail.php?id=$lid>$title</a><br>";
		$i++;
    }
// mod end

hmmm...instead of date maybe it should be last_updated. What say you, dody???

change the following:

// mod for $top_links_by_hits
  DisplayTemplate($theme_path."index.html",
	  "\$category,\$new_links, \$top_links_by_hits, 
\$most_recent,\$hot_links,\$login_box,".
		"\$rec_links,\$recomended_listing,".
		"\$total_online,\$members_online,\$guess_online,\$username_online,".
		"\$total_link,\$total_hits,\$total_category,\$total_member,\$total_milis");

then in index.html of the themes/default folder, add the following where you want it to print out:
<%$most_recent%>



Anyone know how to stop vB from inserting extra lines into the code or from wapping the line in the middle of a word???
I love vB! I love vB! I love vB!

I've tried this mod but no matter how carefully I cut and paste the code, I get the following error message: "Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/computer/public_html/index.php on line 95"

Any ideas?

[esm]

what is line 95?

you might want to show us that entire section of code.

also, if you don't mind giving up the original version of the new links, check out what gspinney did

http://www.nicecoder.com/community/s...&threadid=1482

[esm]

corrected the SELECT statement. it had an un-needed "where" clause

[dody]

what is the different with "Latest new listing"?

[esm]

differnt format...

done in response to http://www.nicecoder.com/community/s...&threadid=1482

this is a slightly different format with a 1,2,3 listing.

gspinney i think just modified the original to do the same thing.
