SSI recent attachments

December 04, 2015, 10:08:13 am

Hi ladies and gents! I would like to display recent attachments on a home page. Rather than download links, I would like to display the images themselves, perhaps even linking to the original containing post. I know enough php to be dangerous.

What would I need to do to make this happen? Thanks!

Code: [Select]

<?php
require_once('SSI.php');

$attaches = ssi_recentAttachments(10, array(), 'return');

foreach ($attaches as $attach)
{
    echo 'something';
}

The something is stuff you can pick from $attach that is an array containing three indexes: member, file, topic. Each of these contains a bunch of info about the attachment, you can use print_r or var_dump to see the content.

I'm doing something very wrong. All I get is the same output as calling ssi_recentAttachments(). Trying to debug, it appears it isn't entering the loop, unless that's wrong too. lol

Code: [Select]

<?php  
require("SSI.php");

$attaches = ssi_recentAttachments(10, array(), 'return');
$i = 1;
foreach ($attaches as $attach)
{
	$i++;
}
echo $i;
?>

This yields the table and 1. Let's sit back and laugh at my dumb noob mistake.

Darn, it's array....

Code: [Select]

$attaches = ssi_recentAttachments(10, array(), 'array');

Probably for the same reason I didn't see it. xD
You are welcome.
