UIEforum latest posts block

in uieforum.module find these lines:

case 'view':
      if (user_access('access '.uieforum_get_module_security_name()))
      {
		
        $sidenumposts = variable_get('forum_block_num_'. $delta, $defaultuieforum_num);
        $SideThreads = uieforum_get_last_posts($sidenumposts);
        $sidecounter = 0;

        $SideThreadTable = "<ul class=\"uieforum_ul\">";

        if ($SideThreads != FALSE)
        {
          foreach ($SideThreads as $Thread)
          {
            $SideThreadTable .= "<li class=\"uieforum_leaf\"><span class=\"lw1\">";
            $SideThreadTable .= "<span class=\"block-forum-title\">".l(t($Thread->ForumName), uieforum_get_module_menu_name(), null, "fid=$Thread->ForumID")."</span>";
            $SideThreadTable .= get_thread_link_text($Thread);
            $SideThreadTable .= theme('username', user_load(array('uid' => $Thread->LastPoster)));
            $SideThreadTable .= "<div style=\"text-align: right; width: 100%\"><small>".get_thread_link_text_last_post($Thread, uieforum_parse_date($Thread->LastPost, "d M 'y - H:i")._uieforum_icon(null, null, null, 'newpost.gif'))."</small></div>\n";
            $SideThreadTable .= "</span></li>";
          }
        }

        $SideThreadTable .= "</ul>";

        $block_content = "<style type=\"text/css\" media=\"all\">@import \"modules/".uieforum_get_module_name()."/css/style.css\";</style>\n".$block_content;
        $block_content .= $SideThreadTable;


        // check to see if there was any content before setting up the block
        if ($block_content == '')
          return;

        // set up the block
        $block['subject'] = $UIEForumTitle;
        $block['content'] = $block_content;
        return $block;
      }
  }
} // end uieforum_block

you'll have to hack these , as I don't believe they provide the ability to over ride them in the theme.

specifically: this part of above code:

$SideThreadTable .= "<li class=\"uieforum_leaf\"><span class=\"lw1\">";
            $SideThreadTable .= "<span class=\"block-forum-title\">".l(t($Thread->ForumName), uieforum_get_module_menu_name(), null, "fid=$Thread->ForumID")."</span>";
            $SideThreadTable .= get_thread_link_text($Thread);
            $SideThreadTable .= theme('username', user_load(array('uid' => $Thread->LastPoster)));
            $SideThreadTable .= "<div style=\"text-align: right; width: 100%\"><small>".get_thread_link_text_last_post($Thread, uieforum_parse_date($Thread->LastPost, "d M 'y - H:i")._uieforum_icon(null, null, null, 'newpost.gif'))."</small></div>\n";
            $SideThreadTable .= "</span></li>";

Hey People

Thought id tag on the end of this thread as am looking at the same piece of code trying to change it!!!

rather than just post the latest post title/user/date etc im actually looking to post the entire first thread of a forum topic, so the end results are like a blog with a full story (first post in a thread only) of each topic.

Im guessing I need to add a few lines in there, something that will print back the entire thing rather than just the thread title. Would anyone have any good ideas?

Thanks for the help in advance.

it would be great if the author could place the HTML output into a theme function that could be overriden via an external module or template.php. otherwise we're required to "hack" the uieforum code and it will get lost whenever an update is applied.

how about:

...
    case 'view':
      theme_uieforum_block_output();

...

theme_uieforum_block_output() {

      if (user_access('access '.uieforum_get_module_security_name())) {
        $sidenumposts = variable_get('forum_block_num_'. $delta, $defaultuieforum_num);
        $SideThreads = uieforum_get_last_posts($sidenumposts);
        $sidecounter = 0;

        $SideThreadTable = "<ul class=\"uieforum_ul\">";

        if ($SideThreads != FALSE) {
          foreach ($SideThreads as $Thread) {
            $SideThreadTable .= "<li class=\"uieforum_leaf\"><span class=\"lw1\">";
            $SideThreadTable .= "<span class=\"block-forum-title\">".l($Thread->ForumName, uieforum_get_module_menu_name(), null, "fid=$Thread->ForumID")."</span>";
            $SideThreadTable .= get_thread_link_text($Thread, false);
            $SideThreadTable .= theme('username', user_load(array('uid' => $Thread->LastPoster)));
            $SideThreadTable .= "<div style=\"text-align: right; width: 100%\"><small>".get_thread_link_text_last_post($Thread, uieforum_parse_date($Thread->LastPost, "d M 'y - H:i")._uieforum_icon(null, null, null, 'newpost.gif'))."</small></div>\n";
            $SideThreadTable .= "</span></li>";
          }
        }

        $SideThreadTable .= "</ul>";

        drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', uieforum_get_module_name()) .'/css/style.css');
        $block_content .= $SideThreadTable;


        // check to see if there was any content before setting up the block
        if ($block_content == '') {
          return;
        }

        // set up the block
        $block['subject'] = $UIEForumTitle;
        $block['content'] = $block_content;
        return $block;
