Hi all,

I've created the plugin, but I don't understand the part about putting $lasttitle in my forumhome template.

I tried deleting everything in <!-- main --> in forumhome, and replacing it with '$lasttitle', but it looks like that wasn't correct :P

Please help :)

Callum

p.s. In case its relevant, I'm currently using vBulletin 3.7.0

Just type $lasttitle into your FORUMHOME template.

And how to put this on non-vBulletin page??? I want to use last 10 posts in forum on a main page of my site.

It doesn't appear to do anything to my homepage.

Where should I include it? Here's my FORUMHOME

Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

        <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
        <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
        <!-- end no cache headers -->
        $headinclude
        <title>$vboptions[bbtitle]
</title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar

And here's the plugin I created (I've checked its active!):

Code:
$query = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT 10");

while ($last = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($query))
{
// If you want to link to the thread to use $lasttitle .= '<a href="showthread.php?t='. $last['threadid'] .'">'. $last['title'] .'</a><br />';
$lasttitle .= $last['title']<br />;
}

hi, i remember this happening to me, it may be something simple, (just check it out) --> it could be that where you have installed the actual plug in is incorrect i.e. go into plugin manager, find $lasttitle edit it and ensure that "hook location" is "forum home complete" and that it is number "5" in order of execution.

i have literally 5 instances of lasttitle on my board, i.e. lasttitle1, lasttitle 2, for different forum categories etc and each time when the threads dont show up, it is ALWAYS the hook location that needed fiddling with, just check the hook location and then paste $lasttitle wherever in the page you want it to appear.

hey, cheers for the help :)

Okay those settings were correct, but I hadn't named the plugin title as "$lasttitle". I have now renamed it but it still doesnt work :S

Opserty 06-29-2008 07:54 PM
I don't see the $lasttitle variable in your FORUMHOME template... The plugin name is irrelevant the only things you need to worry about is the PHP code and the hook location. Both of which have been shown to work...

Are you sure you are editing the correct skin? (the same as which you are viewing)
