Adding Paging to the Portal Page

[ZiNgA BuRgA]

This is something I also find useful if you want your portal page to be more of a blog.
This allows users to browse past announcements - ie further than the cutoff.


To do this, open up portal.php
Find:

PHP Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

$query = $db->query(" SELECT p.pid, p.message, p.tid FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."posts p LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."threads t ON (t.tid=p.tid) WHERE t.fid IN (".$mybb->settings['portal_announcementsfid'].") AND t.visible='1' AND t.closed NOT LIKE 'moved|%' AND t.firstpost=p.pid ORDER BY t.dateline DESC LIMIT 0, ".$mybb->settings['portal_numannouncements'] );

---

Replace with:

PHP Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

$page = intval($mybb->input['page']); if($page < 1) $page = 1; $numann = $db->fetch_field($db->simple_select(TABLE_PREFIX.'threads', 'COUNT(*) AS numann', "fid IN (".$mybb->settings['portal_announcementsfid'].") AND visible='1' AND closed NOT LIKE 'moved|%'"), 'numann'); $perpage = intval($mybb->settings['portal_numannouncements']); $multipage = multipage($numann, $perpage, $page, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?paged=1'); $query = $db->query(" SELECT p.pid, p.message, p.tid FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."posts p LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."threads t ON (t.tid=p.tid) WHERE t.fid IN (".$mybb->settings['portal_announcementsfid'].") AND t.visible='1' AND t.closed NOT LIKE 'moved|%' AND t.firstpost=p.pid ORDER BY t.dateline DESC LIMIT ".(($page-1)*$perpage).", ".$perpage );

---

Then 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

$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 ".(($page-1)*$perpage).", ".$perpage );

---

Once you've done the above modifications, just open up your portal template, and add {$multipage} wherever you want your pagination to be.
