VB newsfader with the ~ latest threads for all vb versions
(originaly by gogosoft, ztsky and xware) I bored parts of your scripts
Made by : MasterDuDe

This will put an fader (powered by JavaScript) on top of your forums listings on the home page ... It will show the latest member that joined and will show the 10 last posted threads in it (titles are being chopped off after 20 characters and filled in with ...)

Made and tested on vBulletin 2.2.9

Will this also show latest threads in private forums to people who dont have access to it? I will install if it dont.

To make the fader ignore posts from certain forums:

In index.php find:

$newsfades=$DB_site->query("SELECT threadid, title, postusername FROM thread ORDER BY threadid DESC LIMIT $ammount");


Replace with

$newsfades=$DB_site->query("SELECT threadid, title, postusername FROM thread WHERE forumid <> [forumid] ORDER BY threadid DESC LIMIT $ammount");


IMPORTANT!!!
Replace [forumid] with the ID number of the forum you want to hide from the fader.

Oh - and nice hack btw :)

I decided not to use it in the end, didn't like the fade. (It seemed a bit rough!)

its possible to get this news-fader running on an external non forum site?.. i just play with the idea to get the news fader on my main homepage to make guest get interrested when they see the news fader of the latest threads.. ?

what i need to do to integrate it in my non vb site?

How many queries does it add to the forum home? :)

Well I didn't notice any added extra queries but I noticed a bug with the fader over lapping if the username is too long...

See attached..

Same as above which was:


$newsfades=$DB_site->query("SELECT threadid, title, postusername FROM thread WHERE forumid <> [forumid] ORDER BY threadid DESC LIMIT $ammount");

But instead do something like this:


$newsfades=$DB_site->query("SELECT threadid, title, postusername FROM thread WHERE forumid <> [forumid] AND forumid <> [forumid#2] ORDER BY threadid DESC LIMIT $ammount");

Replace [forumid] and [forumid#2] to the forum ID #s that you want to hide.
