I get a JavaScript error saying thread not defined or something

How to edit the code to show Posts, Views and link to poster Profile?

I get a javascript error.

Error: 'threads[...].threadid' is null or not an object
Code: 0

Is there a way to limit the number of characters when it displays? Like let's say I'll be putting this information in a table but I dont want the characters to go to the next line or anything...? Just limit it to about 15 characters max and then display a "..." at the end. These were seen on most of the vbindex/vbhome hacks.

Yes, that can be done. Convert the value to a string, have it count the characters then cut it off if it's over a certain # of characters.

For instance, if you wanted to do this with the post title, you'd use something like this:

var titleAsString = new String(threads[i].title);
if (titleAsString.length > 15)
{
var newTitle = titleAsString.substring(0,15);
document.write(newTitle + "...");
}
else
{
document.write(titleAsString);
}

I found the source of the javascript error already.

for (i = 0; i < 15; i++)

If you set the code to display 15 threads and your test forum has less than that amount of threads, the error will appear.

How can we prevent this the error from happening?

I want to include latest threads from a single forum. This is a problem if the forum is new.

[MrNase]

is there a way to display the latest thread first? by now the latest thread is the last one

[killervette]

Is there a way to display a X amount of characters of the actual post too? Like a latest news kind thing.... shows some and then Click Here to get the whole post???

[pablo]

so does anyone have it worked to display the last X active topics ? Showing threads really isn't the most accurate if people are looking for active topic/discussions.

That is due to the fact the number of posts in your forum are less then 15, so start posting.....

I am using the script below, but I have two errors, on the one public forum, gastenboek, you cannot view it without logging in, while forum permissions are set for unregistered to be able to do everthing, how come? Also when you do login you can see the posts but it says threadid=undefined I have searched many threads but cannot find it.... Anyone?

I have a question to the script Scott posted. Everything works fine so far.

But what I wanted to do is format the output alternately per line. Meaning, the first line should have a grey background, the second a white, the third a grey background again, etc. Can somebody point that out for me? I'm not a javascript pro at all. Thanks!
