Bravo List - index.php news mod help...

in my index.php i found this code that is for news:

Code:

if ($welcome_message != ""){

OpenTable(_btsitenews, '726');

$welcome_message = format_comment($welcome_message);

parse_smiles($welcome_message);

echo "".$welcome_message."
";

CloseTable();

}

and somewhere in here i found this code that is for news and joe completed it for someone else:

Code:

if ($welcome_message != ""){

OpenTable(_btsitenews, '726');

?>




//Getting number of news(posts)

$last_in = $user->lastlogin;

$title = array();

$topic_id = array();

$sql = "SELECT  id AS id, subject AS subject FROM torrent_forum_topics WHERE forumid='26' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3;";

$res = $db->sql_query($sql) or btsqlerror($sql);

$count = $db->sql_numrows($res);

while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($res)) {

$title[] = $row['subject'];

$topic_id[] = $row['id'];

}

for ($i=0; $i<=$count; $i++)

{

if ($i > $count-1)break;

echo "";

$res = $db->sql_query("SELECT body, added FROM ".$db_prefix."_forum_posts WHERE topicid='".$topic_id[$i]."' ORDER BY added ASC LIMIT 1") or sqlerr(__FILE__, __LINE__);

$rowe = $db->sql_fetchrow($res);

$resa = $db->sql_query("SELECT count(id) AS posts FROM ".$db_prefix."_forum_posts WHERE topicid='".$topic_id[$i]."'") or sqlerr(__FILE__, __LINE__);

$rowa = $db->sql_fetchrow($resa);

$welcome_message =  format_comment($rowe['body']);

parse_smiles($welcome_message);

if (!$welcome_message == '' && sql_timestamp_to_unix_timestamp($rowe["added"]) >= sql_timestamp_to_unix_timestamp($last_in))

{

echo "";

}

if($i == 0)$show = 'block';

else

$show = 'none';

if($i == 0)$img = 'collapse';

else

$img = 'expand';

$nid = $i+1;

echo "Added on: ".$rowe['added']."Comments : ".($rowa['posts']-1)."
".$title[$i]."
".$welcome_message."
\n";

}

CloseTable();}

but i get no news @ my index...
(for testing reasons i uploaded a torrent and made a new thread at the forum or even commented on another torrent but no news :-( )
