I make a topic apart since it was buried into a large theme
There was a code to pull a desired number of posts onto any page written for version 2.5.x
The code is here: http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=tree&th=591&mid=12061&&am p;rev=&reveal=

But due to the changes in DB structure in 2.6.x versions it doesn't work any more. I made a quick modification so that it does works, but I have certain questions for the developers of FUD to make sure the posts list is pulled right taking into consideration all restictions, please:

1)
Old query:
SELECT resource_id FROM ".$tbl."group_cache 
                         WHERE user_id=0 AND p_READ='Y'

New query:
SELECT resource_id FROM ".$tbl."group_cache 
                         WHERE group_id=0

Question:
Where the check for read permission did go so that it could be considered in the query?

2)
Old query segment causing troubles:
WHERE
".$tbl."thread.forum_id IN (".$lm.") AND                                        
".$tbl."msg.approved='Y'

New Query:
WHERE
".$tbl."thread.forum_id IN (".$lm.") AND 
".$tbl."msg.apr=1

Question:
I am not sure that apr field takes track if the message was approved... What does?

If those questions answered, I will post the new code working for 2.6.x database structure. For now this quick hack is working here: http://avalon.net.ua/forum.php (russian language) with FUDforum 2.6.7

Another helpful improvement would be to know how the links to the thread or message are generated, so that the hardcoded link would change e.g. for path_info style template automatically depending on forum preferences (if possible at all? or easier to change the url bu hand when the change is made? not too often anyway). OR is it better I remember for security reasons to give link just to rview and is uid=0 needed for security set as 0 in this link?

Permissions in 2.6+ are stored as a bitmask.

You can find out what each bit controlls by looking inside sql/fud_group_cache.tbl

For the message table this information can be found inside
sql/fud_msg.tbl

Oh, thanks. I see that I guessed right as to msg.apr, OK

But bit operations are above my understanding as of yet Sad
For more, to make selection basing on group_cache_opt I guess it should be an index for performace reasons too?
I don't quite understand anyway what all this table does and those options neither (not to mention I don't get how explanations are converted to that data I see in the table), honestly. Remember, initially I took your code (old queries) example and my work was only smoothing it.

What if I make initial selection in fud_group_cache basing on
group_id=0 and user_id=0
does it make the trick of selecting only resources with overall (anonymous) permission to read?

Although... For now it seems it does the trick the way I wrote it anyways, just a little optimization for initial selection number of rows?...

Nope, it doesn't. I modified the query and made a restricted forum to see how this will work... I guess I've got the whole thing wrong.
SO I do have to deal with those bits? It's beyond my understanding and time for study now.
Could anybody be so kind to just tell the query part selecting only p_READ from fud_group_cache.group_cahe_opt?....

you need to use the bit field to get permissions, without it you are just fetching random data.

Okay, may be this is ugly but it does work to show only posts where anonymous have permission to read. The query is then
SELECT resource_id FROM ".$tbl."group_cache 
                         WHERE user_id=0 AND
                         group_cache_opt>>1&1=1

OK, here goes the working code with right permissions:

<?php
function fetch_forum_posts($n_posts) /* n_posts is the number of messages you wish to fetch */
{
        include_once "YOUR_PATH_TO/GLOBALS.php";

        $cid = mysql_connect($DBHOST, $DBHOST_USER, $DBHOST_PASSWORD);
	$tbl = $DBHOST_TBL_PREFIX;
        $r = mysql_db_query($DBHOST_DBNAME, "SELECT resource_id
                                                FROM ".$tbl."group_cache
                                                WHERE user_id=0
                                                AND group_cache_opt>>1&1=1", $cid);
        $lm='';
        while( list($id) = mysql_fetch_row($r) ) $lm .= $id.',';
        $lm = substr($lm, 0, -1);

        $r = mysql_db_query($DBHOST_DBNAME, "SELECT
                                                ".$tbl."msg.id,
                                                ".$tbl."msg.subject,
                                                ".$tbl."thread.last_post_date,
                                                ".$tbl."thread.last_post_id
                                        FROM
                                                ".$tbl."thread
                                        INNER JOIN ".$tbl."msg
                                                ON ".$tbl."thread.root_msg_id=".$tbl."msg.id
                                        WHERE
                                                ".$tbl."thread.forum_id IN (".$lm.") AND
                                                ".$tbl."msg.apr=1
                                        ORDER by
                                                ".$tbl."thread.last_post_id DESC
                                        LIMIT ".$n_posts, $cid);
        while( $obj = mysql_fetch_object($r) ) {
                /* Here you do your actual code, below is a working example */
				$tm = date("d/m/Y H:i", $obj->last_post_date);
                echo "<p><SPAN CLASS=\"date\">".$tm."</SPAN> - 
                <a href=\"".$WWW_ROOT."index.php?t=msg&goto=".$obj->id."\">".$obj->subject."</a>
                <a href=\"".$WWW_ROOT."index.php?t=tree&goto=".$obj->last_post_id."\">&raquo;&raquo;</a></p>\n";
        }
        mysql_free_result($r);
}
?>

Put this in your file apart or in the place you need.
Then make a call for it:
<?php
fetch_forum_posts(10);
?>

Done
*Phew*

group_cache_opt>>1&1=1 <~ group_cache_opt&2=2 probably is causing less confusion on someone who isn't familiar with bit operations and wants to understand the code. It works nevertheless, though.

Abraxa, this is me who is not familiar with bit operations (if you read my previous panic questions about it)! Very Happy At least hasn't been until yesterday.

What you say was about what I was thinking at first, but counting that it is possible (even if not commonly logical) to make permissions visible=0 and readable=1 means you will get in this case 3 with your code!

I mean, if you have
10
&
10
--
11

or did I get the operation meaning wrong?

I thought it's just safer to be independent from visible if I move one bit right and only take into account readable permission.

How to add the user name or alias?

Then you'll have to make a call to one more table for user alias...
May be the easiest way - to ask the forum owner for the code all done the way you want? He does have FUD, so he did this hack, only didn't care to share? Hopefully not for greediness, although it's easy to add, I just can't get hands on my db right now (connection problems) to look for needed columns to call.
