[olaf]

[bengt]

I have tried hotscripts and a lot of other, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

[olaf]

but if you can't find out the table layout how do you wanna develope the application?

[bengt]

Ok.. I have found something that i wanna use...

It has this table:

CREATE TABLE `px_topics` (
  `topic_id` int(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `parent_id` int(20) NOT NULL default '0',
  `root_id` int(20) NOT NULL default '0',
  `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  `description` text,
  `create_dt` timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
  `modify_dt` timestamp(14) NOT NULL default '00000000000000',
  `author` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  `author_host` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`topic_id`)
) ;

How can I display the topics like this:

Topic1 by Jack shit

<edit>
Just read that "bumping" is not a very popular thing to do. Sorry about this. Wont happen again.
I just noticed that there where some bumping going on, and thought it was a normal thing to do.
