how do i loop through each forum to echo the latest topics for each one seperatly… rather than blast out the entire topics of every forum at once.

[massbase]

I didn’t find how to loop each category if there is such as thing, but I found this solution, its WORKS fine…

<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic) : ?>

<?php

$doof = $topic->forum_id;

if ($doof=="1") {

?>

<p><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a><?php topic_page_links(); ?></p>

<?php } ?>

<?php endforeach; endif; ?>

Still a problem, becuase the above solution spits out all the topics and not only 3 as Required..

can anyone help, on how to do a FOR loop for this, i dont get how the array $topics works?

please help.

• Initialize a variable as zero.
• Increment it every time you display a topic (every iteration) if the value of variable is less than 3.
• As soon as it grows >3, breaks out of the loop.

if you know how to do this please, show me, <?php topic_title(); ?> seems as though it can only be used in a that foreach loop, i cant do a for loop and add ing <?php topic_title(); ?> inside of it.

Although I havn’t tested it but it should work:

<ul>

<?php

$count=0;

if ( $topics )

{

foreach ( $topics as $topic)

{

$doof = $topic->forum_id;

if ($doof=="1")

{

if($count<3)

$count++;

else

break;

?>			<li><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a> | <?php topic_page_links(); ?></li>

<?php	} } } ?>

</ul>
