How can I list all the posts in a category on my homepage using this code designed to show all the posts in a forum?
PHP:
<?php
// How Many Topics you want to display?
$topicnumber = 5;
// Change this to your phpBB path
$urlPath = "/forum";
// Database Configuration (Where your phpBB config.php file is located)
include 'forum/config.php';
$table_topics = $table_prefix. "topics";
$table_forums = $table_prefix. "forums";
$table_posts = $table_prefix. "posts";
$table_users = $table_prefix. "users";
$link = mysql_connect("$dbhost", "$dbuser", "$dbpasswd") or die("Could not connect");
mysql_select_db("$dbname") or die("Could not select database");
$query = "SELECT t.topic_id, t.topic_title, t.topic_last_post_id, t.forum_id, p.post_id, p.poster_id, p.post_time, u.user_id, u.username
FROM $table_topics t, $table_forums f, $table_posts p, $table_users u
WHERE t.topic_id = p.topic_id AND
t.forum_id = 11 AND
f.forum_id = t.forum_id AND
t.topic_status <> 2 AND
p.post_id = t.topic_last_post_id AND
p.poster_id = u.user_id
ORDER BY p.post_id DESC LIMIT $topicnumber";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed");
print "";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo "<a href=\"$urlPath/viewtopic.php?f=$row[forum_id]&t=$row[topic_id]&p=$row[post_id]#p$row[post_id]\" TARGET=\"_blank\">" .$row["topic_title"] ."</a><br/>";
}
print "";
mysql_free_result($result);
mysql_close($link);
?>
