How to display forum names on portal page

[ZiNgA BuRgA]

I personally find it a nice thing to have (I have this at Endless Paradigm)

To add the forum name, for each portal announcement, just perform the following code edits.

Open up portal.php.
Find:

PHP Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

$query = $db->query(" SELECT t.*, t.username AS threadusername, u.username, u.avatar FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."threads t LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."users u ON (u.uid = t.uid) WHERE fid IN (".$mybb->settings['portal_announcementsfid'].") AND t.visible='1' AND t.closed NOT LIKE 'moved|%' ORDER BY t.dateline DESC LIMIT 0, ".$mybb->settings['portal_numannouncements'] );

Replace with:

PHP Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

$query = $db->query(" SELECT t.*, t.username AS threadusername, u.username, u.avatar, f.name AS forumname FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."threads t LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."users u ON (u.uid = t.uid) LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."forums f ON (f.fid = t.fid) WHERE t.fid IN (".$mybb->settings['portal_announcementsfid'].") AND t.visible='1' AND t.closed NOT LIKE 'moved|%' ORDER BY t.dateline DESC LIMIT 0, ".$mybb->settings['portal_numannouncements'] );

---

Next, open up your portal_announcement template, and place {$announcement['forumname']} wherever you want it to appear.  You can use {$announcement['fid']} if you need to grab the FID of the forum.

That's it!
