IP.Board recent topics
A very simple yet customizable module to display recent topics from your IPB-based forum in Joomla. I wasn't able to find any similar module and created the one myself.
Since I love when a program or script has a bunch of preferences, I tried to customize each and every possible parameter.
Settings list:
- database parameters (DB name, username and password, prefix etc.);
- number of recent topics to display;
- number of characters in topic title to display;
- date format;
- forum location (in case it's not in default 'forum' folder;
- show or hide last post date, author and forum;
- fields to display anything you want above and below topics list.
Extra:
- automatic post time adjustment according to IPB settings;
- English and Russian language files;
- separate customizable CSS-file;
- Two FREE hugs from me :-)
If you have non-Latin encoding on your forum, just add 'iconv' function with suitable parameters to topic title, author name and forum name in mod_ipb_latest.php. This will solve all possible display problems. Here's an example of double decoding I have on my old forum:
$author_name = iconv ("CP1251","UTF-8",iconv ("UTF-8","CP1252",$row[$i]['last_poster_name']));
