Hi..

Yes it`s me again, asking about script..

This script for listing the news in the block..

Code
  1. $dbconn =& pnDBGetConn(true);
  2. $pntable =& pnDBGetTables();
  3. $query="SELECT pn_sid, pn_title, pn_hometext, pn_time FROM $pntable[stories]
  4. where pn_catid=1 ORDER BY pn_time DESC LIMIT 5";
  5.  
  6. $result=mysql_query($query);
  7. while (list($sid, $title, $headlinetitle, $time) = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
  8. if(strlen($title) > 40)
  9. {$title = substr($title,0,30);
  10. $title .= "...";}
  11.  
  12. $content .= "   <strong>&middot</strong> <a href=\"index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=$sid\">$title</a><br>";}
  13.  
  14. echo $content;


And I get this (xstories block)to include image for new today & week.. And dont know how to combine this two script..

Code
  1. $xtime= ml_ftime(_DATEBRIEF,$time);
  2.  
  3.     $newimage = "images/global/blank.gif";
  4.     if ($time >= strtotime("-7 DAY")) {
  5.     $newimage = "images/global/new_week.gif"; }
  6.     if ($time >= strtotime("-3 DAY")) {
  7.     $newimage = "images/global/new_3day.gif"; }
  8.     if ($time >= strtotime("-1 DAY")) {
  9.     $newimage = "images/global/new_day.gif"; }
  10.    
  11.     if ($vars['usenewimage'] == 1) {
  12.     $newimage = "images/blank.gif";}


Just asking, maybe someone could help me here.. or give me another solution ?.. :D

Thanks..

You want a block with that you you already have a working block and want to add the image ?

Insert the second part between line 10 and 12 and add an img tag to the content.

Code
  1. $content .= "   <strong>·</strong> <a href=\"index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=$sid\">$title</a> <img src=\"$newimage\" title=\"image\" /><br>";

Problem is that you are comparing a date in readable format against a UNIX timestamp.

Code
  1. if (date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $time) >= strtotime("-3 DAY")) {


Might work better. icon_wink

I'll take one last attempt... The stime is already in a YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS so there is no need to put it in a date function...

so the final if should be :

Code
  1. if ($stime >= date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("-3 DAY"))) {
