Widget: Recent Topics of a Specific Sub-forum

[Anita]

Hello, everybody!
Before anything else, I wish all of you a fantastic weekend!

Let me share an issue I've had with a widget based on this tutorial from the Forumotion Support Forum: http://help.forumotion.com/t129060-widget-recent-topics-of-a-specific-sub-forum

While it used to work before the conversion to FAE, now it's become irresponsive.

I created a widget. In the widget source text area, I inserted this code:

Code:

<div id="newsareal1" class="newsareal"> </div>

Then I created a JS with the following code for PHPBB3:

Code:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#newsareal1").load("/f1-welcome div.topic-title-container:lt(10)");
});


Last, I added the CSS suggested in the tutorial:

Code:

.newsareal div.topic-title-container {
display: block !important;
margin: 2px 1px 0;
padding: 2px 5px 5px 30px;
border: 1px solid #B1BFC0;
border-radius: 5px;
background: #F3F9F9 url('http://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/16/54/26/99/old-ve10.png') no-repeat 5px center;
}
.newsareal div.topic-title-container:hover {
background-color: #D8DEDE;
}
.newsareal div.topic-title-container a {
color: #708090 !important;
text-decoration: none !important;
text-shadow: #fff 1px 1px 0px
}

However, the widget's still blank.
I wonder if you could help me figure out what the problem is. I tried deactivating the other scripts. I also made sure the address of the forum was the right one. Yet, it hasn't worked.

Thanks in advance for your help!


Happy weekend!

Hi @Anita,

In the script, try changing

Code: div.topic-title-container:lt(10)

to

Code: .forum-category:not(.announcement) .topictitle:lt(10)

. You will also need to replace

Code: div.topic-title-container

with

Code: .topictitle

in the CSS.

If you need any help let me know.

Hi, @Ange Tuteur! How are you today?

I made the changes in the JS and the CSS. Nothing changed, though.
I'll keep trying to figure out whether I did anything wrong despite following the steps.

Have a beautiful day!

Hi again,

Replace the JavaScript with :

Code:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#newsareal1").load("/f1-welcome .forum-category:not(.announcement) .topictitle:lt(10)");
});

and replace the CSS with :

Code:

.newsareal .topictitle {
display: block !important;
margin: 2px 1px 0;
padding: 2px 5px 5px 30px;
border: 1px solid #B1BFC0;
border-radius: 5px;
background: #F3F9F9 url('http://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/16/54/26/99/old-ve10.png') no-repeat 5px center;
}
.newsareal .topictitle:hover {
background-color: #D8DEDE;
}
.newsareal .topictitle {
color: #708090 !important;
text-decoration: none !important;
text-shadow: #fff 1px 1px 0px
}

The HTML should be a-okay. If there are any issues, let me know.

Good evening!

I'm afraid it didn't work, either. How strange...
I deactivated or deleted some JS I had in the forum, just in case they interfered. However, this widget doesn't work yet. I also tried linking it with another forum, just in case. But there's no reaction.

My apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Have a good night, sir!


Nughty night!

Hmm.. do you only have one topic in the forum that's being loaded, and is that topic also an announcement ? If so, try removing

Code: :not(.announcement)

from the script I gave you.

That little snippet ignores topics that are announcements, so that might be the issue.

[Anita]

Wow, I see! None of the topics were announcements. However, when I removed the piece of code that you said, it started working!

Thank you very much, @Ange Tuteur! You rock!
As always, thanks indeed for your patience, generosity and genius! May your help be rewarded a gazillion times!

Best,


Anita
