Latest Threads On Forum Home

[RichieBoy67]

Hrm...

You will need to alter the query this time :p

Again, not tested, but in the plugin code, find:
AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids)
add above:
AND forumid IN ($showfids)
Now find:
// ## HIDE FORUMS WITHOUT THE CANVIEW PERMISSION ##
if (!$forumperms["$forum[forumid]"] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) {
$limitfids .= ','.$forum['forumid'];
}
add below:
$showfids = x,y,z;
Replace x,y,z with the forumids you want users to be able to view :)

Satan

Just wondering, Has anyone tested this yet????



To block forums from showing I believe this will work. Place the id of the forums here.. replace the zero with the forums you want blocked..

AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids)

I just tested this and it works. These are the same instructions as for the other latest threads hack only you edit the xml file instead of the index file...

[Prince]

I guess I am just stupid because that does not work, I get errors.

[Chris M]

$limitfids = ',x,y,z';

Chris

[Prince]

that causes errors, the only way it works is with one number in there:

$limitfids = x;

[Lizard King]

It is not getting the right threads with correct time.
The last thread time shows : 03:45
But the correct time shall be : 22.39

I'm trying to use this with the Right side menu plugin here on vb.org and when I insert the code into the menu nothing is displayed. Any ideas?

-Michael

[Mathiau]

Installed on vb 3.5.3 on 6 templates and all work perfect!

[Lizard King]

is there a way to add ajax auto refresh option to this ?

I'm trying to use this with the Right side menu plugin here on vb.org and when I insert the code into the menu nothing is displayed. Any ideas?

-Michael

Add
require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php'); once at the beginning of the php code in the xml-file and change the position of the hook to global_start.

After that you should be able to use the code in the right column.

[MarsNIIT]

Hello,

[Bytecon]

is there a way to add ajax auto refresh option to this ?

Now that would be too cool ..

[imported_yesonline]

I imported the .xml and modified the FORUMHOME template and the mod is working on my forum, however, I see there is a "Step 3: Click INSTALL" which I don't know how to do it? I can not find the INSTALL link or something like that on my forum, is it a necessary and must do step? The mod has been working on my forum now, my vb is 3.5.3.

thanks

[Vierie]

Scroll up to the very first post of this thread. On the right side you will find something like:
Mod Options
Install this Modification
Report this Modification

Click on "Install this Modification". Done.

[majoreyeswater]

Wouldn't mind some help.

I have installed this on my messageboard - its a great option, but not working quite perfectly for me. I am not 'live' as yet, i.e. just some test users, but I get two different views when looking through different browsers (not surprising)

Through Firefox works ok, but without any icons/smilies (whatever is supposed to be depicted) and through IE I get the unpleasant image not found 'x'.

Could someone advise why this might be as I haven't a clue.

[mbader71]

Installed and working fine,

thanks alot man

[Eagle Creek]

Having a problem with this :(.

I installed it when my board was at the domain antispywareoffensief.nl. But since we moved it to nucia.nl it gives a doulbe URL at my icons.
Please have a look at the screenshot:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=41349&stc=1

As you can see two URL's are give. Is this a bigger problem (something like a setting somewhere) or is this a problem within the hack I can fix?

[shaynehammy]

Very nice.

Quick question. How many threads will it display in Latest threads and is there a way to modify this?

Thanks

[Vierie]

It displays 5 threads. If you want to change it, search for DESC LIMIT 5");
in the xml file and change that number to whatever number you need.

[shaynehammy]

Thank you for your help. Can we marquee this in anyway?

[The Chief]

installed and works great, thanks!!

/me clicks install

[croportal]

how can i have that on nobn vbulletin page

[Sam Granger]

How do I remove the "? Replies: 0 ? Views: 2 " part?

By the way, great mod!! :D

[itorrents]

Working fine for me, on 3.5.3 :)

[bashy]

This has stopped working for me...
The box is still there but no threads init...

[Legende]

is it possible to show the main forum before the sub forum? because at the moment it only shows the subforum and i have like 10 sub-forums with the same name .. hope you understand

greets

[somasimple]

Hi All,

Is there a way to show the forum belonging (like in the New posts link)?
I wanted to show it just after the thread title.
Thanks.

[GuaRRand]

Screenshots??

[somasimple]

Hi,
the forum page of the site www.somasimple.com/forums/ shows the installed feature but I want a little mod because members asked for the forum belonging of threads shown.

[Legende]

is it possible to show the main-forum infront the sub-forum? because i have some sub-forums with similiar names

[MRGTB]

is it possible to show the main-forum infront the sub-forum? because i have some sub-forums with similiar names

Does this display "Locked Threads", if NOT how can you make it display them?

[The Chief]

hey Chris, there is a problem with putting this into all pages, like you said before, we had to write:

require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php'); after #################### PROCESS LATEST THREADS #######################;

but with 3.5.4, the functions_forumlist.php has changed since the 3.5.2, and now the ONLY problem I am recieving is in the USERCP subscriptions, the subscriptions are replacing the $threadbits...

can you check this out?

thanks!

[Tyegurl]

am i dumb or did i do something wrong....i installed it and changed the text...nothing. i am using 3.5.4 ...maybe it doesn't work with that one? but it looks like someone go it to....

does it work in 3.5.4?

[wrang]

does it work in 3.5.4?

Yes it work fine on my forum with VB 3.5.4

[jason_x]

installed but i think there is a permission bug:

can view forum set to no but the thread shows up in the latest threads list.

also the internal area (viewable by administrators only) shows up there

[Deska]

Anyone know how to make it enable on all pages?

[Vierie]

Did you test it as a guest? As admin you will see all threads.

[RichieBoy67]

I would like to disable certain members posts from showing. Can anyone supply the code for this???

Thanks

[Pathor]

I don´t see anything on my lokal test-system...

php5, mysql5

[jason_x]

Did you test it as a guest?

yes.

temporary solution:
i have added the forumid to $limitfids (hook forum_complete).

fetch_permissions($forum['forumid']);

$limitfids = "1,2";

// ## HIDE FORUMS WITHOUT THE CANVIEW PERMISSION ##


threads with this forumid will not show up on latest threads (unfortunately for all usergroups!).

[Pathor]

Pathor? Your SN sounds known for me. Are you from vB Germany?

Yes, I am. ;)

Welche Version hast Du ? L?uft hervorragend unter 3.54. Ich habe einige ?nderungen am Code gemacht, so das die ?bersicht nun als Tabelle dargestellt wird. Ist nur halt das Problem, das G?ste es auch seheh k?nnen, und das m?chte ich nicht. Hast Du irgendeine Idee, wie man das abschalten kann? Meine PHP Kentnisse sind sehr begrenzt - leider :( -Mike

Du musst eine if-condition um den ganzen Templatecode setzen.

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']">
<Latest Threads on Forum Home>
</if>

Somit sehen nur registrierte Benutzer dein Forum. :)

[Pathor]

Danke mein Freund. Ich schulde Dir was. Wenn ich auch mal irgendwas f?r Dich tun kann - z?gere mich nicht, mich zu fragen -Micha

Worked like a charm! :cool:

[somasimple]

Hi Tim,

The forumtitle you used isn't used in any another place.
The modidfication doesn't show the forum title! :confused:

[criscokid]

Can this mod be used to show the 'latest threads' block other than on forumhome? like on a portal front page?

[jokerz]

This hack is not about the latest threads, it is only when you post the threads and it'll show the latest post in threads. Weird.. I thought its only list of new threads not new posts.

eg. If I post in old thread or new thread, both will show up as 'Latest Threads'

[harishankar]

That's exactly what I'm looking for jokerz. I wanted latest posts. I guess this is the mod.

For the "Latest threads" as you want it, I think there's a tutorial at vbulletin.com which does that using the external hook.

[criscokid]

I found the HowTo Display Latest Active Threads on ANY normal HTML page (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158895) document. but it's only the 'last x threads posted' not 'last x postings posted' like this one is.

This is the one that I want - I just loosely used the term 'latest threads' as I took it from the title of this mod. Maybe it should be renamed to be more exact?

Anyway... is it possible to use this mod on a page other than on forumhome ( like on a portal front page)?

[harishankar]

Any way to control to number of new topics which appear?

[steadicamop]

I've just updated this from a previous version - I'm not sure if the old one did this, but where do I add "&goto=newpost" on the end of the url .... I do understand some basic PHP but just can't see where it goes (so that each thread which has been read, when you click the link, always goes to the last post).

Cheers!!

Jason

[criscokid]

Is it possible to use this mod on a page other than on forumhome (like on a portal front page)?

[redlabour]

Sorry Guys, i have installed the Product and can not find any Options in AdminCP and the Hack is not shown on my Forumhome. Where can i fínd install Instructions ?

[wrang]

Sorry Guys, i have installed the Product and can not find any Options in AdminCP and the Hack is not shown on my Forumhome. Where can i f?nd install Instructions ?

it dosent show in the ACP after you have logout from the ACP and logged in again

[criscokid]

Is it possible to use this mod on a page other than on forumhome (like on a portal front page)?
Is anyone able to offer support on this mod? I've asked the same question twice but unfortunately nobody's posted a reply.

[Konstantinos]

where in admincp do i set the number of threads to display? i cant find the setting

[criscokid]

Sorry Guys, i have installed the Product and can not find any Options in AdminCP
I can't find any admin controls for this mod either.

[shaynehammy]

I have two requests. How and where do i exclude certain sections from the latest posts and i would appreciate it if anyone could show me how to have the latest posts scrolling down vertically?

[criscokid]

Ha ha... I'm getting somewhere! :) :)
There are no controls for this mod in the adminCP - you modify the seetings in the XML file - simply make your edits then upload your XML file. Look for this bit of code in the file:
$getthreads = $db->query_read("
## GET LATEST THREADS ##
SELECT thread.*,thread.iconid AS threadiconid $previewfield
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread AS thread
LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(thread.threadid = deletionlog.primaryid AND type = 'thread')
$previewjoin
WHERE open <> 10
AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids)
AND thread.visible = '1'
AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL
ORDER BY lastpost
DESC LIMIT 5");
Change the 5 in 'DESC LIMIT 5' to however many threads you want to show.

Now all I need to figure out is how to cut out the graphic icons, make the thread title longer and do away with the superfulous 'Last Post: x by y ? Replies: a Views: b' text.

[dutchbb]

@ criscokid: You can change the title length in that plugin too (it's standard set to 22)

And the rest you can find in the template "forumhome_latestthreadbit"

[criscokid]

Thank Triple T :) :)
Is it possible to exclude specific forums from showing up in the 'latest threads'?

Triple T: What mod are you running at http://forum.dutchbodybuilding.com/links.php?)

[criscokid]

I originally put the 'latest threads block' at the bottom of the page as suggested. It all displays ok. I've now tried to put it at the top of the page just below the navbar but it breaks the page... I've got a side column on the the left as I'm using vbPortal - the 'latest threads block' and the rest of FORUMHOME gets displayed after the bootom of the left column. Anyone able to help?

Is anyone able to answer my question?

[Alysum]

Does this work with VB 3.5.4 or has there been a better Addon since then? Thanks

[harishankar]

Oops wrong thread.

[RichieBoy67]

Is it possible to exclude specific forums from showing up in the 'latest threads'?


FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread AS thread
LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(thread.threadid = deletionlog.primaryid AND type = 'thread')
$previewjoin
WHERE open <> 10
AND forumid NOT IN (74,75,76,94,86,41,106,118,113,105,107,110,112,119 ,111,108,92,104,121,122,123,124,125,126,127,128,12 9,133,130,146,147,148,149,150,151,152,153,154,158, 88$limitfids)
AND thread.visible = '1'
AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL
ORDER BY lastpost
DESC LIMIT 20");



There is some of my code showing how I blocked all these forums from showing...

[-=Sniper=-]

I added ajax refresh option, for those interested

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1018508&postcount=5

its simple and it does work :)

Hi!
in 3.0.X version off latest threads on forumhome the informations scrolling from botton to top in a field. in this version I cant find this and threads is static

[dodjer42]

Bit of a noob question, but my latest threads appears at the bottom of my forum. Shouldnt it appear at the top? I searched in FORUMHOME and put it in according to the install instructions, but its still at the bottom.

Awesome! How can I never notice about this great hack. :D

Sorted.

I found also that using the default syntax, the latest threads popped up without a border table. I modded the FORUMHOME insert code to this which seems to be a bit cleaner.

<!-- latest threads -->
<if condition="$show['latestthreads']">
<tbody>

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_latestthreads')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_latestthreads" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_latestthreads].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vbphrase[latest_threads]
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_latestthreads" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_latestthreads]">
<tr>

<td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">$threadbits</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

</if>
<!-- /latest threads -->

Is there anyway to modify the text so that forum thread title is truncated less? At the moment it seems to truncate around 10-15 chars along (even though I have hundreds of pixels whitespace on the right of the latest threads table.

[Techno05]

Anyone know how to make it display on any page?

[hnjco]

Hi Chirs:

I have following questions for you

1) Is it possible to move latest thread box to the top on forum home? underneath usercp menu?

2) Is it possible to display the thread in a column format like

[Thead] | [Posts] | [Poster]

3) Can we increase the size of the name of the thread ? we want to show the full name of the thread not cut it?

Please give us quote to make these changes?

thanks
hnj

Play around with the settings in the XML file... edit the file then upload it again. Sorry I can't be more specific than that... I had to use a bit of common sense (and tial and error when I made changes for my site).

[shaynehammy]

I have two requests. How and where do i exclude certain sections from the latest posts and i would appreciate it if anyone could show me how to have the latest posts scrolling down vertically?

BUMP! Please help!!. Looking for a way to add a scolling marquee to this vertically displaying about 10 - 15 latest posts. Options for admin could be up or down, speed etc...

Please, I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Shayne

[SiriusBlack22]

Good hack but it's messy. You should make it more organized. :(

I don't know how to implement this, but it the things you mentioned were easy. All of the aspects of the marquee are HTML codes.

[thenetbox]

hello

Do you know why it doesn't work on a side bar? I installed https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=117989 but it doesn't show anything in side the side bar.

How can I pass the values to the sidebar that exist in forumhome?

[Blindchild02]

any way to put this in header/footer so it shows on all pages

[punk23]

Hi all - I don't know if this is still supported but I wonder if someone could please help me change the look of my "Latest Threads" box from this:

[Coach_Guru]

How to display in an external page(vbtemplates)?

Thanks a lot.

[criscokid]

What edits do I need to make so that clicking on a username opens up that user's profile in a new browser window?

[aveon]

hey chris how can we make this seen on all pages not only on forum home??

[wrang]

Is it possible to make so when i click on a thread link came to the last page if it has more than one page. Now you came to the first page and not the last page

[Nick0r]

There is definitely a permissions issue with this hack, it seems to totally ignore any permissions given - guests/regular members can see restricted forums.

[Onkel_Tom]

There is definitely a permissions issue with this hack, it seems to totally ignore any permissions given - guests/regular members can see restricted forums.

As I use the original hack from NTLDR for my vb 3.0.x, I ported it today to the new 3.6.0 version on my own because of many changes and additions.

For the permission issue please try to change the following lines in the .xml file to their original syntax an try if the issue is gone. For me it works fine with this lines!

find in product-chrism_latestthreads.xml
$forumperms[$forum["forumid"]] = fetch_permissions($forum['forumid']);

// ## HIDE FORUMS WITHOUT THE CANVIEW PERMISSION ##
if (!($forumperms[$forum["forumid"]] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) AND !$vbulletin->options['showprivateforums']) {
$limitfids .= ','.$forum['forumid'];
}
}

Replace it with
$forumperms["$forum[forumid]"] = fetch_permissions($forum['forumid']);

// ## HIDE FORUMS WITHOUT THE CANVIEW PERMISSION ##
if (!($forumperms["$forum[forumid]"] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) AND !$vbulletin->options['showprivateforums']) {
$limitfids .= ','.$forum['forumid'];
}
}

If you want to exclude some Usergroups from viewing the latest threads:
search for:
if ($threads) {
$show['latestthreads'] = true;
}
Add after:
$grouparray = array ( 1,3,4,8);
if (in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'],$grouparray) OR $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0 )
{
$show['latestthreads'] = false;
}

@ dodjer42
If you want to change the thread title truncation edit the number 22 at the end of this line:
$thread['title'] = fetch_censored_text(fetch_trimmed_title(unhtmlspec ialchars($thread['title']), 22));

e.g. to 50 to truncate at 50 characters.

Don't forget to upload/install the changed file!

[aveon]

[criscokid]

How can I get the usernames sisplayed in the 'Latest forum threads' section when clicked on to open in a new window?

[shaynehammy]

If i want to change the display name to "The latest 20 threads" or similar would i change the phrase after CDATA below?

<phrase name="latest_threads"><![CDATA[Latest Threads]]></phrase>
</phrasetype>
</phrases>
<options>
</options>
</product>

[Nick0r]

Unfortately Onkel_Tom, that made no difference. On 3.6 guests can still see private threads showing up in the 'Latest threads' section of the homepage.

[aveon]

does anybody know how to make this hack visible on all pages???

[Pathor]

<a href="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198968" target="_blank">http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198968</a>

That´s also possible with this hack.

[aeroguy]

could some add a join table function as to also enable to show what forum the threads are in. The get thread function within the mod already sees the forum id just need a join to get the name from the id.

[Onkel_Tom]

Should be done with:
## GET LATEST THREADS ##
$getthreads = $db->query_read("
SELECT forum.title AS forumtitle, thread.*, thread.iconid AS threadiconid $previewfield
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "deletionlog AS deletionlog ON (thread.threadid = deletionlog.primaryid AND type = 'thread')
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum AS forum ON (forum.forumid = thread.forumid)
$previewjoin
WHERE thread.open = '1'
AND thread.forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids)
AND thread.visible = '1'
AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL
ORDER BY lastpost
DESC LIMIT 10");

and to restrict the lenght add after:
$thread['title'] = fetch_censored_text(fetch_trimmed_title(unhtmlspec ialchars($thread['title']), 55));
$thread['forumtitle'] = fetch_censored_text(fetch_trimmed_title(unhtmlspec ialchars($thread['forumtitle']), 50));

To show the name of the forum you have to change the Template forumhome_latestthreadbit, add
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$thread[forumid]" title="go to $thread[forumtitle]">$thread[forumtitle]
or something like that.

[aveon]

hey Tom it didnt work mate or did i do something wrong i added the codes where you wanted me to add them and the latest posts still only visible on forum home how can i set permissions and make it visivle on all pages helpme please and i will come up with a really good design for side column...

[putergirl]

Hello, I am having problems viewing the latest threads. Sometimes I can see it and sometimes I can't. I've tried clearing my cache and the cookies to no avail. Just when I give up, it will show again briefly, then poof, gone again. I mean, I had resined myself to not being able to see it, and it showed up an hour later after I did nothing. Any ideas what could be causing that? The same thing happens with my users, some can see it, some can't, and we didn't have this problem till I upgraded to 3.6. Thanks.

I have also tried re-importing the product and allowed overwrite.

[aeroguy]

i am too getting an mysql error

Awesome mod, and thanks Tom for the info on how to change the title length.

[MRGTB]

I've just noticed somthing regarding W3C and CCS validation. While it validates OK in W3C. It doesn't in CSS.

The problem seems to be the use of this in the latestthreadbit template.

style="vertical-align: text-middle"

It's failing the validation, anybody got any idea what to use instead that will pass CSS

[MRGTB]

Here is the fix, change this:

Change this code to in the "forumhome_latestthreadbit" template.

<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/$thread[threadiconpath]" border="0" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" title="$thread[threadicontitle]" style="vertical-align: text-middle" />

To this:

<img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="$vboptions[bburl]/$thread[threadiconpath]" border="0" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" title="$thread[threadicontitle]" />

It will then be both W3C and CSS valid

------------------------------

You can also add this code in the same template &nbsp; to create a gap between the Thread Title and the Last Post details.

Look For:

<a href="showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]" title="$thread[preview]"><strong>$thread[title]</strong></a>

Change to this:

<a href="showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]" title="$thread[preview]"><strong>$thread[title]</strong></a>&nbsp;

Hi there, I'm looking for a hack just like this, for vB3.6.0 - but rather than have the thread appear at the bottom of the forumhome page, I'd like them listed in a coloum down the right-hand side of the page... Would this hack be easy to change for that purpose?

Thank you

This does work with vBulletin 6, I'm using it on my site. The problem with using it as a side column is the column width will not be wide enough to display all the details. So your better off sticking to a center block.

That is good to hear :)
The problem with using it as a side column is the column width will not be wide enough to display all the details. So your better off sticking to a center block.
But surely that's just a simple case of editing the html? Maybe start with the thread title, new line, date posted, new line, who posted, etc..

Maybe I'll have a play around with it tomorrow, see if I can get it working the way I want. :)

[MRGTB]

Yes, I guess you could just intruduce some <br /> into the lines.

[Ninth Dimension]

I've successfully been able to edit the templates to achieve what I want, you can see the result here: http://theice.co.uk/ :D

[MRGTB]

I see, well done. I'm thinking you have removed some of the fields. But I'm wondering why you just didn't add some "<br />" in the right places to make the information drop below each other on its own line, so you could have kept a lot more fields displayed in the narrow column. Or did you only want displayed what you have: IE- thread title, time, name.

[Ninth Dimension]

I decided that info such as number of views and posts were not that important. What was more important were details such as the thread title, when it was last updated, and who was the last to post to it, this would allow me to list more threads in the same ammount of space. I guess I could go back and add a 'title' tag to the title of the thread showing the number of posts and views.. *goes off to do that now*

[MRGTB]

Yeah, I know what you mean. Each to there own really. I prefer to show as much info as possible like the FORUM link and so on. But thats me, were all different.

[Ninth Dimension]

A suggestion to the hack owner - to make it so that only threads which have updates the member hasn't yet seen to appear in bold, while the rest remain unbolded.

EDIT: Nevermind, I've just seen you have something like this in place already. :)

[Ninth Dimension]

Yeah, I know what you mean. Each to there own really. I prefer to show as much info as possible like the FORUM link and so on. But thats me, were all different.
Yeah, I get what you're saying. One thing I think your forum might benefit from is to use a table to make all the info nice and organised into coloums, rather than just lose like it is now...

[MRGTB]

Well it's really funny you should say that, because that has crossed my mind, but I was a little unsure how to get each post in it's own column though.

[MRGTB]

How can you get it so each latest thread displayed uses it's own alternate colour. Like alt1 and alt2 in the box. So it looks nicer. So if you displayed 4 threads, they would be like this: alt1,alt2,alt1,alt2

[Ninth Dimension]

I think I can do what you want, both with the coloums and alternating colours, but I'm going to need to see some of your templates first.

I'm going to need part of your FORUMHOME template, everything from <!-- latest threads start --> to <!-- latest threads end -->, and the whole of your forumhome_latestthreadbit template.

It would also be handy if you could give me the content of your 'Latest Threads on Forum Home' plugin.

If you can paste that info here, I'll see what I can do for you :D

[MRGTB]

Here is my template:


<!-- latest threads start -->
<if condition="$show['latestthreads']">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('latest_threads')">
<img id="collapseimg_latest_threads" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_latest_threads].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<!-- title start -->
Latest Threads
<br />
<div class="smallfont">
Read latest threads
</div>
<!-- title end -->
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_latest_threads" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_latest_threads]">
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
<!-- code start -->
$threadbits
<!-- code end -->
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
</if>
<!-- latest threads end -->


Plug-ins attached

[Ninth Dimension]

I still need the forumhome_latestthreadbit template.

As for the plugin, could you maybe copy/paste the text for me please? The text I need can be found: ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> Latest Threads on Forum Home (the one listed next to forumhome_complete) -> then copy/paste all the text from the 'Plugin PHP Code' box please?

I'm just off to bed now, but I'll take a look in the morning and see what I can do for you :D

[MRGTB]

Here the threadbit code:


<div class="smallfont">
<if condition="$show['firstnew']">
<a href="showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]&amp;goto=newpost"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_first_new_post]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<if condition="$show['icon'] && !$show['firstnew']">
<img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="$vboptions[bburl]/$thread[threadiconpath]" border="0" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" title="$thread[threadicontitle]" />
</if>
<a href="showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]" title="$thread[preview]"><strong>$thread[title]</strong></a>&nbsp;
<em>$vbphrase[last_post]:</em> $thread[date] <if condition="$vboptions['yestoday'] != 2"><span class="time">$thread[time]</span></if> <phrase 1="member.php?find=lastposter&amp;t=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>
&raquo; $vbphrase[replies]: $thread[replycount]
&raquo; $vbphrase[views]: $thread[views]
&raquo; $vbphrase[forum]: <a href="forumdisplay.php?f=$thread[forumid]">$forumdata[title]</a></div>


But you could have got the template code for this out the plug-in I attached to the other post above as a zip file

[Ninth Dimension]

OK, here goes... I've not tested it or anything, and I've not added the alternating colours yet, but try this on for size and see what you think:

FORUMHOME (part)

[MRGTB]

what files did you edit, it looks like the only changes you've made are to the latestthreadbit. Is that right?

Because I can just replace that template with your code to test it if that's all you've changed, rather than uploading the changed code as a plug-in

[MRGTB]

No it did what I thought it would do after looking at your code changes, it put each item in it's own seperate column sideways and looked a right mess. You went along the same lines as me in your thinking. But it doesn't work that way I'm afraid. You just finish up with either more columns than you want, or the threads repeat each other if you try the same method using the $threadbit and more alts in the forumhome box code.

[Ninth Dimension]

Well, it's a bit hard to work on building what you want remotly like this... I gave it a shot, but i guess I failed... oh well, sorry.... I'm sure you'll be able to work out what you need to do.. good luck.

[MRGTB]

Not to worry, it no big deal. I'll play around in the future with it. As I'm busy working on another ed2k hack I have installed right now.

[aveon]

is there any way to show it on header instead of only on forum home i asked that question couple of time now any body can help me??

[MRGTB]

is there any way to show it on header instead of only on forum home??

you could just put the box in the header, instead of the FORUMHOME template, but I'm not sure if that would work, as I think without trying it, it needs to be in the FORUMHOME template to grab the information. But you can try it.

It's only a case of putting the box that displays the threads in the header instead of the FORUMHOME.

[MRGTB]

the answer to your question is in this thread, When I ran vBulletin 3 and installed her hack (which this is based off) I had it working on an external page, as well as my forumhome. You have to add some code I think to either global.php or another file. The answer is somewhere on the first 15-20 pages of this thread.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60544&highlight=latest+threads

[aveon]

hello gary i tried that but when i tried to edit the index php it gives me error when i upload back to db so is there anyother way to do this ill be really apparitiated

[MRGTB]

Well there are two things in that thread you has to get right. one was this.

@SuperG: Put the code just above the following in global.php so its run on everypage and you could be able to add the $threadbits variable in any of the templates:

// parse some global templates

If vB use that variable on any page then you'll need to change this line:


require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');
eval("\$threadbits .= \"".fetch_template('forumhome_latestthreadbit')."\";");

And replace $threadbits with something unique like $my_latest_threads for example and change the variable in the template accordingly.

try that, becuase you might have missed the bit were the guy got an error like you and had to add another line to the code I've highlighted in red.

[aveon]

ok gary

i put this code

require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');
eval("\$threadbits .= \"".fetch_template('forumhome_latestthreadbit')."\";");

above this on global.php

// parse some global templates

ad then on chris's produck i changes hook name to global start but it gave me this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetch_iconinfo() in /kunden/137092_81737/www.e-paylas.de/forum/global.php(357) : eval()'d code on line 1334

Hi All,

I'm using this mod with great success
www.somasimple.com/forums
but is there a simple way to make it work with a scroll like this one? =>
http://www.somasimple.com/forums3/

[Renmiri]

To put the last thread on all pages:

Edit the plugin Latest Threads on Forum Home (found under forumhome_complete)

1) Change the Hook Location to parse_templates

2) Find
// #################### PROCESS LATEST THREADS #######################

ABOVE it add the following
if (!function_exists("fetch_iconinfo"))
{
require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');
}

3) Put the code you added to the FORUMHOME template (above) on any page you would like the latest thread added to.

I really like this script, is there a way to put this on an external page?

WOW i like that idea, how did you do that?

[kafi]

I am using this hack for quite time and I am very satisfied.

Now I have encountered that I need small solution, because I have few private forums on the webpage where I set up that they are not Active (which means they are not displayed on forumhome page). BUT they are shown within last threads...

Is there any <IF ...> solution? Thank you .-)

[ICY ICE]

Easy install and works perfectly on 3.6.2.

Thank you,

Work fine on 3.6.3

[aveon]

can anybody edit this order to work on all pages of the forum instead of forumhome??

[Agent0]

Hi aveon
Your question is at least easy to answer...

When scrolling back one page you could find Renmiri's posting with the following:

To put the last thread on all pages:

Edit the plugin Latest Threads on Forum Home (found under forumhome_complete)

1) Change the Hook Location to parse_templates

2) Find

Code:
// #################### PROCESS LATEST THREADS #######################ABOVE it add the following

Code:
if (!function_exists("fetch_iconinfo"))
{
require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');
}3) Put the code you added to the FORUMHOME template (above) on any page you would like the latest thread added to.


Working perfect!



But I have another problem and reading through the 29 pages of this thread didn't solve it either. Whenever I activate the plugin I can't login anymore neither to the board nor to the admincp and it says invalid username or password. So I needed to deactivate plugins over config.php to access the board again.
I can see this cool plugin in action only when I deactivate the plugin in order to access the admincp, then activate it from there and view the Forum Home Page from there.
Does someone know how to fix this?

Thank you in advance
:cry:

Edit the plug in hook to be global_start. The instead of editing the navbar template put the edit in the threadbit template. I cant say where at the moment as I cant test it for myself but later I can. If you need more info PM me.

EDIT: Sorry Nikkie i did not realize that was your forumhome. PM me and will look into it.

[Sarthek]

Where do you set how many latest threads are shown?

[Xplorer4x4]

Where do you set how many latest threads are shown?

$thread['title'] = fetch_censored_text(fetch_trimmed_title(unhtmlspec ialchars($thread['title']), 22));
Allows you to set the number of characters in the title and
DESC LIMIT 5");
Changes the number of threads shown. Just change 5 to the number you want.

[Staxed]

ok, i'm not a coder my any means...i'm just a little 'ole designer...and for the life of me I can't get the threads to show in someplace other than the forumhome.

I'm trying to use this mod, but instead of having all the forumhome stuff...i just want to have the lastest thread titles put into a side column...i've looked at the added templates...copied what's there...and all it will do is post the sections titles..."last post by reviews views"...but doesn't put the actual info in there...

can someone possibly shed some light on how to get just the titles to show in another template other than forumhome?

[Staxed]

no one has done this? or knows how?

Chris?

[thincom2000]

You need to change the hook the plugin uses to fill the variables (by default it is forumhome_complete).

yea i tested this code and it works perfectly

Thanks for this. Tested the code and I maybe didnt quite explain what i was after. I want a box the size of twenty latest posts but inside a scrolling marquee that displays the last 50 posts. If a member hovers over the scrolling latest posts, it will stop. Once it gets to the bottom of the list, it starts from the beginning. Seen it on a few websites but cant remember any to show you an example.

[Staxed]

Could you elaborate on what your trying to do with it?

it's in my first post...a few above yours...

but basically...you know the module for vbadvanced that shows new threads...trying to get something similar in a custom template (for a left column)...by using this mod...just need to reformat the coding so it only displays the title of the mod (don't need all the other info like poster, views, etc)...i've got that part done...i just can't get it to display the information...

[Xplorer4x4]

Hmm try adding the phrase "$vbphrase[latest_threads]" to your left column. Your custom template is, i assume, is inserted into forum home in order to show on your forum index, so try leaving the hooks alone.

[Staxed]

already tried inserting that...i know how to get it to show (I'm a Designer)...issue is...it will show the titles (Posts, Views, etc) if I put them in...but the second it calls that variable it won't output anything else...and that's where i'm stuck...(I'm NOT a coder...lol)

You lost me, can you link to a demo or a screen shot?

[Staxed]

in about 30 mins I can...

(at work right now and can't get to it from behind work firewall)...i undid my modifications since they didn't work.

where are you lost?...it just doesn't show the info that it's supposed to show...(come to think of it...I think I have the call to the custom template in the navbar...i'll check when i get home...where would i change the hook for that?)

[Xplorer4x4]

Oh in that case maybe try navbits as the hook.

[croportal]

thanks ;) really thanks ;)


just one question

how can i remove smilyes and icons, and the thread go to new posts, last page, not first

[Xplorer4x4]

Smileys will not be parsed. Icons can be removed in the "forumhome_latestthreadbit" template. Simply search for .gif and when you find it you will see it in a code like
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_first_new_post]" border="0" /> Just remove everything starting at <img all the way to the /> including />

and the thread go to new posts, last page, not first
Not sure I follow but you want it to go to the last page of any thread listed in the latest threads table? The only way I could think of doing this is simply to have the template edited so when you click a thread name it would go to the last post of the thread instead of the first unread post. Would you be interested in that?

I mean smilies will not show up as smilies, they will only show up as :) instead of :)

I uploaded an updated XML file. Just upload it and make sure you choose YES to overwrite. It will redirect to the last post and will also not have any images except one.

[croportal]

yes i did, and as you seen its the same like before?

when you click thread it opens first post not last

[Xplorer4x4]

If you over write the old hack there I don't see how. I have personally tested it on my forum.

Regardless, replace your forumhome_latestthreadbit template with the following:
<div class="smallfont">
<a href="showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]&amp;goto=newpost" title="$thread[preview]"><strong>$thread[title]</strong></a>
<em>$vbphrase[last_post]:</em> $thread[date] <if condition="$vboptions['yestoday'] != 2"><span class="time">$thread[time]</span></if> <phrase 1="member.php?find=lastposter&amp;t=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>
&raquo; $vbphrase[replies]: $thread[replycount]
&raquo; $vbphrase[views]: $thread[views]
</div>

at the start of the php code in the code xml-file and change the hook to global_start.

Works for me. :)

Look for

// fetch the permissions for each forum
global $vbulletin;

$forumperms = array();

in the xml-file.

Below that add

$limitfids = x

x is the ids of the forum you want to exclude.

For those getting errors on search.php, change $lastread with something like $last_read, otherwise you'll get error messages.

This should solve:Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /search.php on line 2179

INSTALLED

[Grunt]

For all those asking how to exclude forums in addition to the permission restrictions inherent in the hack:

In the .xml file, or by editing the Plugin PHP Code (vBoptions/Plug-in Manager/Edit):

FIND:
AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids)

Directly below the above, add:
AND forumid NOT IN (x,x,x)


The x's are the forumid's to exclude.

It is possible to added an icon that will take you to the last post in the thread. Also, I'd like the name of the forum to show underneath the thread title.

Can anyone please help me with this.

Oh, one more request if possible but the previous two are more important. I'd like the feature to click down to even older posts like an arrow down just like is used on the latest post module on this site http://www.mylpga.com

[kansei]

I'm pretty new to vB admin stuff and had a question about this hack.

I've seen something similar done before, but in a column on the right in the forum home. I have a right column on my forum home (via another hack) and just figured I could paste the template edit that this hack called for into that template, but no this does not work at all.

any guidance? I can give you any information needed (copy and paste of template files or whatever)

thanks in advance!

oh the site is www.themazdaforum.com if you wanted to see what is going on right now.

Edit: I hacked up the part you are supposed to paste into FORUMHOME such that it fits into the right column template. Still nothing appears. It is as if <if condition="$show['latestthreads']"> is returning false so it just isn't processing anything. Is that a var I have to set somewhere?

I'm such a n00b with this stuff :P

Hi
I saw on a forum home page that two copies of this hack was working.
There was two columns . one of them show latest posts on some forums (for example download forums) and another one shows all other new posts (on all other forums)

How can I do this?
thanks
