yea, pagination is all about the query. Totally check out the Pagination Tutorial we have, and Pagination Code Sample

I know those but yours also shows "1" even if theres not a full page and if you leave it blank it shows up as "" 2 3

I use the same exact pagination code on these forums, the proxies, list of articles and code samples. If you're not getting a full page, that is probably because the LIMIT is set higher than the results you have. If you have 10 results and want 5 pages out of those 10 results, then the limit should be set to 2, and the pagination code will display 1 - 5.

thanks, I also need to know how to use the view option, you think you can help me out with that?

post specific details of your problem and we can go from there.

The view count for every topic (Thread not needed)
I think I somewhat got it, dealing with the ip of the user?

Depends on how you want to handle it. Unique views or just total views.

I went with just using total views and not dealing with users IP's to determine if they have already been counted. Less foot-work and still effective. I would recommend just maintaining total views.

yea total views, also im having trouble with viewing last post, everything works when i remove it but when Its added it shows 1 forum im like

well, you record the time when posts are made, correct? Then for your query, select the post data and order by time desc

ok u lost me, is this for the views? or the viewing last post?

Last post.

For views, on each page load of the thread i'd do an UPDATE query and say views = views + 1.

I got all that down. Another thing I wanna know whats the cookie age for 30 days?

also how can u like, turn a certain number of characters from
hey its friday
to
hey its...
?

On the cookie, check this out: PHP: setcookie()

On the 2nd part, im not sure what you mean... You can use str_replace() to replace text, like if $var = "Hey its friday" you could do:

$var = str_replace(&q uot;friday&quo t;, "...&quo t;, $var);

I know but im going to be doing this for forum topics like last post

Oh, like an ellipsis function? If a string is longer than XX characters, then display the ellipsis? I have a function I found I believe on PHP.NET, here it is:


Code:

Thats exactly what I needed!


by the way Ive noticed you use different BBCode styles for each result.
If your having a problem with say like [ url = "tragical .net " ] sas [ / url ]
(without spaces)

use this.
