Is there a side block to display latest weblinks?

Hi,

I'm using Raven Nuke 2.02.02 and wondered if there was a block somewhere that would display the latest weblinks added and approved

Cheers

bsweb, is not blocks\block-Top10_Links.php such a block? Wink

BTW, you are way behind on RN releases... so many fixes are in the latest, including security. You might want to consider upgrading and staying more current...

Thanks for that Montego but that lists the top links, what I wanted to do was to list the most recent links to give viewers more incentive to leave links.

As to being a bit behind on RN releases, I'm having a bit of trouble with my broadband connection not finding my website, so until my provider sorts it out or I move then I'll have to stick with it. Don't fancy uploading via dialup!

If there is a way to modify that block to show the latest 5 links that would be great

Well, you could try to make that SQL line as follows:

$result = $db->sql_query('SELECT lid, title FROM '.$prefix.'_links_links ORDER BY lid DESC LIMIT 0,5');

Thanks Montego that works a treat but the page the links open to is a bit confusing to say the least so I have changed it with a little assistance from a previous post ( Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ) and with a little bit more adjusting the $content line became.

Code:

$content .= "<strong><big>&middot;</big></strong>&nbsp;$a: <a href=\"links.html?amp;l_op=visit&amp;lid=$lid&amp;ttitle=$title\">$title2</a><br />";

so it now opens the target website.

Many Thanks again Very Happy

I did the same thing on my block a while back. Smile
