FYI, what I did was a standard call to every forum_ID that I'd like to check for.  It removes the last 25 posts and checks to see if any of them are newer than your cookie.  This isnot ideal and I hope to use some of the Active Topics code.  I'm just not smart enough yet to extract exactly what I need.]]> Sat, 12 Feb 2005 11:37:23 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/getting-total-number-of-active-topics_topic13778_post76119.html#76119 <![CDATA[Getting total number of active topics. : the active topics page already...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/getting-total-number-of-active-topics_topic13778_post76103.html#76103 Author: dj air

the active topics page already can be set to check for "since last visit"

so if you look in the code you should see some where   ,where it gets the last visit date value and adds it to the query.

I'm just finishing up a site integration of WebWiz (http://www.heatofbattle.net/new/) and the last thing I want to do is query the Active Topics to find two things:

1. How many topics have been posted in since the last visit.

2. If any of these topics are from a certain Category.

The category-specific query is easy once I figure out a good way to finish goal #1.  I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions towards the logic for this?  My initial thought is to execute a complete Active Topics process (without Response.write) and count the amount of loops.  The topics per page and great amount of code necessary for this leads me to believe that there's another solution that I'm missing.

Thanks in advance!
