Widget Setup
- Title: Type in the desired title.

- phpBB URL Location: This is the url location of your forum. This field is optional and can normally left blank except for the case when the forum is a subdomain such as http://myforum.mywebsite.com .

- Parameter Validation Return Area: For display only. Indicates if there are any errors.
Defines in phpbb_topics_portal_Guts.php
There is only one optional define statement in this script, for the most part it can be left at its default value.
- define(“sqldb_MULT”, 10); -> Because some of the returned links are discarded, the number of reads made on the database is uncertain. This variable limits the read statements to 10 times the requested number (at the default setting of 10).

Historial de cambios
1.0
- 31-Oct-11/Initial release.
1.1
- 10-Jan-12/The URL is computed automatically from the file location, but this did not work for subdomains, such as http://myforum.myweb.com . Added a new forum phpBB Forum URL to override the computed value, it can be used as needed. In other words, for most installations you can just leave this blank but if you do use it make sure it is the correct URL for your forum.
1.11
- 11-Jan-12/Updated the readme only.
1.2
- 22-May-12/phpbb_topics_portal_Guts.php
Added a line after making the DB connection to put the connection in UTF8 mode (so other character sets are shown correctly)
Added back somehow deleted constant sqldb_MAX_READS.
Also defaulted the exclude list array to -1 if ommitted to avoid error messages and allow for no excludes.
