CAn it be possible latest x threads and latest x post on forum home

check out both of my mods.

What I ment was both latest X posts and latest X thread on same MOD.

Why would I do double the work? Is it too hard for an extra click? It does not take any template edits.

Installed in ten seconds Thanks

Great mod...I love it. Nice Work.

I am using the Right and Left sidebar Mod. How can I place Latest Threads in the sidebar instead of the center?

As I stated before, this will only show from within the forumhome template.

Hi,

Could someonw please help me out a bit with installing this mod?

I add it using "Manage products", give the ID, title description etc and I see the "Latest X Threads on Forum Home" product added. Fine.

Next i want to find the controll panel to switch the product ON and modify the parameters. But I can not find it!? It is not in "vBulletin Options", not in UserCP, its nowhere...

What am i doing wrong? Appreciate your help and advises!

Any chance of changing this to an Ajax updater that displays the latest thread as and when they're posted?

Having problems with this,Shows up ok but when thread link is clicked it is showing

Code:

No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

Thepage it is attempting to access is

Code:

http://www.goldies.us/forums/showthread.php?t=2720

The page it should go to is

Code:

http://goldiez.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2721

I have downloaded latest version & reinstalled it,but still the same

How can this be used on a non-VB page?

Is there any way we can just have the thread title and not part of the post underneath it? This virtually doubles the length of the hack on the forum home. Ie i want to disaply the last 30 threads but dont want the user to be scrolling down for ages just to look through it all.

Thanks mate.

I am looking for ways to display the latest x posts on a non vb homepage. Like this one.

Can someone please help.

tanks a lot for this nice hack .
please tell me how do i can change Author , Forum And Latest 5 Threads words to other lang .
and how do i can changes dir to right to left .

Is this mod still supported?

Anyone know how to get rid of the preview that is showing under the last updated post. I would also like to show thread view and replies to the thread that has been updated where the lastest post is.

If that makes sense.

I got it to work on every page by changing the hook location for 'Main Code' from "forumhome_start" to "global_start". One query is added per page.

Also, some variables need to be changed to do it... Hope I'm allowed to do this.
First open the "Main Code" plugin.

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
// query to get the last posts
    $query = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
        SELECT
            thread.forumid as forumid, thread.visible, thread.title as thread_title, thread.threadid as threadid, thread.postusername as username, thread.postuserid as userid, thread.dateline as date,
            forum.title as forum_title,
            post.postid, post.pagetext as pagetext
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread as thread
        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post as post on (thread.firstpostid = post.postid)
        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum as forum on (thread.forumid = forum.forumid)
        WHERE thread.visible = 1 AND $latest_and AND $latest_and_1
        ORDER BY postid DESC
        LIMIT $limit"
    );

Replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
    // query to get the last posts
    $query = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
        SELECT
            thread.forumid as forumid1, thread.visible, thread.title as thread_title1, thread.threadid as threadid1, thread.postusername as username1, thread.postuserid as userid1, thread.dateline as date,
            forum.title as forum_title1,
            post.postid, post.pagetext as pagetext1
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread as thread
        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post as post on (thread.firstpostid = post.postid)
        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum as forum on (thread.forumid = forum.forumid)
        WHERE thread.visible = 1 AND $latest_and AND $latest_and_1
        ORDER BY postid DESC
        LIMIT $limit"
    );

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
    // strips the bbcode out of the post
        $row['pagetext'] = strip_bbcode($row['pagetext'], $stripquotes = true, $fast_and_dirty = false, $showlinks = true);
        
        // adds the cutoff ... with substr
        $row['pagetext'] = substr($row['pagetext'], 0, $vbulletin->options['latest_thread_cut']) . '...';

        // convert pagetext to nice looking variable
        $pagetext = $row['pagetext'];
        $username = $row['username'];
        $userid = $row['userid'];
        $forumid = $row['forumid'];
        $threadid = $row['threadid'];
        $forumtitle = $row['forum_title'];
        $threadtitle = $row['thread_title'];

Replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
   // strips the bbcode out of the post
        $row['pagetext1'] = strip_bbcode($row['pagetext1'], $stripquotes = true, $fast_and_dirty = false, $showlinks = true);
        
        // adds the cutoff ... with substr
        $row['pagetext1'] = substr($row['pagetext1'], 0, $vbulletin->options['latest_thread_cut']) . '...';

        // convert pagetext to nice looking variable
        $pagetext1 = $row['pagetext1'];
        $username1 = $row['username1'];
        $userid1 = $row['userid1'];
        $forumid1 = $row['forumid1'];
        $threadid1 = $row['threadid1'];
        $forumtitle1 = $row['forum_title1'];
        $threadtitle1 = $row['thread_title1'];         // strips the bbcode out of the post
        $row['pagetext1'] = strip_bbcode($row['pagetext1'], $stripquotes = true, $fast_and_dirty = false, $showlinks = true);
        
        // adds the cutoff ... with substr
        $row['pagetext1'] = substr($row['pagetext1'], 0, $vbulletin->options['latest_thread_cut']) . '...';

        // convert pagetext to nice looking variable
        $pagetext1 = $row['pagetext1'];
        $username1 = $row['username1'];
        $userid1 = $row['userid1'];
        $forumid1 = $row['forumid1'];
        $threadid1 = $row['threadid1'];
        $forumtitle1 = $row['forum_title1'];
        $threadtitle1 = $row['thread_title1'];

Then open your "forumhome_latest_thread_bit" template and change the variables. Mine looks like this:

HTML Code:

<tr>

    <td class="$bgclass">

        <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$threadid1" class="smallfont">$threadtitle1</a>

        <if condition="$vboptions['latest_thread_time']"><span class="smallfont">$date</span></if>

        <if condition="$vboptions['latest_thread_cut'] != '0'"><div class="smallfont">$pagetext1</div></if>

    </td>

    <td class="$bgclass">

       <span class="smallfont">in</span> <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forumid1" class="smallfont">$forumtitle1</a>

    </td>

    <td class="$bgclass">

  <span class="smallfont">by</span>      <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userid1" class="smallfont">$username1</a>

    </td>

</tr>

Make sure "Auto Location" is set to no.
Then put "$latest" wherever you want it in your templates. I have it in my navbar template. :)
DEMO (must be registered.. sorry can't have guests running up queries.. oh and the place is still under construction too... :P)

I guess my version is kind of a new hack. Or a mod to this one...
Great hack anyway, thank you!

Any idea how to set the limit to something like 50, then add the pagenav options? Just like the search results but limit whats shown to the latest 5 on forum home. The pagnav would provide the ability to goto to the next 5 latest threads or jump to any page within the list of 50 latest threads.

This same mod from another forum package has this ability. Users can hit the "Next 5" link until they scroll through a weeks worth of threads.

That sounds pretty cool, imo. I'm sure something like this can be done with Javascript, maybe not necessarily AJAX..

Guess the pagination from this article would need to be implemented.

I've messed with it but haven't been able to get it to work.

Fantastic. Just what I was looking for.

Or so I thought... New posts are being made but it doesn't seem to want to update. :/

[Edit] Ah, it only updates with recent threads, not posts. Any way this could be changed so the latest posts are displayed?

I have a recent thread and recent post modification. Check out my profile for a list of my mods.

In the main code change the query where it's ordered by to "ORDER BY postid DESC "

tnx.
but i have one thing to ask, i can change the style of this thing?

Yes, you can modify how it looks by altering the two templates that are added in this.

you can help me? i mean like give the code of this mod, i will chang the style of the mod

Any option for placement on sidebar/columns?

No, you can modify it for yourself, but nothing to distribute.

Not at this time, this is only for forumhome.

Is there any solution to only show 1 (one) latest post from a thread?

thread 1 post 3
thread 1 post 2
