Random Downloads Block

[shaka]

Hi was wondering if it was possible to have a random downloads block for tiny portal showing maybe showing 4 or 5 random downloads

[SMFHacks]

I could write some code for it I think I did it for ezPortal what information do you want to display.

[shaka]

Hi that would be great I would like it to show select possibly 5 random books displaying the thumbnail and download title

many thanks again

[SMFHacks]

Last question forgot to ask what SMF version are you using?

[shaka]

SMF 2.0.2

thanks

Try this

Code: [Select]

        $maxrowlevel = 5;

// Load the language files
if (loadlanguage('Downloads') == false)
loadLanguage('Downloads','english');

$modSettings['down_url'] = $boardurl . '/downloads/';

$maxrowlevel = $rows;
echo '<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="0" align="center" width="100%">
';
//Check what type it is

doesn't work just adds my whole front page into the block

[SMFHacks]

Link to the block/issue?

[shaka]

Hi I have attached 2 screenshots 1 with the code 1 without the code

[SMFHacks]

Any errors in the forum error log?

[shaka]

Undefined index: ezp_pagemanager

[SMFHacks]

That wouldn't be it that's from a portal system.


Not sure what is causing the whole page to load in that box.

For the code make sure you are using a php code block in your portal settings.


If you are using ezPortal there is a downloads block built in.

[shaka]

not sure if this matters as I know next to nothing about the code but would the fact I have removed the information and log in section at the top of the main page matter, someone from the SMF forums altered my index.template file to enable this

[SMFHacks]

How are you inserting the code?
