Hi,

I am currently building a community in ASP.NET with the YAF.NET board. I want to write a control that displays the last 5 threads of the forum. I managed the get the latest 5 threads via SQL.

SELECT TOP (5) TopicID, ForumID, UserID, UserName, Posted, Topic, Views, Priority, PollID, TopicMovedID, LastPosted, LastMessageID, LastUserID, LastUserName,
NumPosts, Flags, IsDeleted, IsQuestion, AnswerMessageId, LastMessageFlags, TopicImage
FROM yaf_Topic
ORDER BY Posted DESC

What is the easiest way to build the URL of the thread to create a hyperlink on my website? Are there any public yaf.net-methods that I can use?

Thanks in advance

Use YafBuildLink for that...

Hey,

thanks for the quick reply.

I have faced some problems with your solution:

1. GetLink returns a "&" instead of a "&" in the url which makes the url invalid.
2. GetLink does not seems to respect the app.config. The method returns:
http://localhost:54248/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=3
instead of
http://localhost:54248/forum/forum.aspx?g=posts&t=3
3. The rewrite rules are not applied.

I can solve the first problems on my own by simply using string.replace() but how to solve the url rewriting problem?

thanks in advance
jimbo

Regarding the url rewriting stuff:
I found a method called BuildUrl in YAF.Core.RewriteUrlBuilder.

I tried to use this method like this without success:

YAF.Core.RewriteUrlBuilder rewriteBuilder = new YAF.Core.RewriteUrlBuilder();
return rewriteBuilder.BuildUrl(YAF.Utils.YafBuildLink.GetLink(YAF.Types.Constants.ForumPages.posts, "t={0}", topicID));
