I like this widget!

Can someone tell us how to list not only forum posts but a mix of ALL the latest posts, in forums, articles etc, all in the same list, also in time order?

I believe this would list new articles, since those are created in a forum (and assuming you included the forum). But not blogs.

By Articles I meant in the CMS. Would those be included too? Or what do you mean by articles?

Yes they are included unfortunately which is why I am uninstalling it.

Just don't typing in the forum id # for them ;)

Any way to add the user's mini avatar just like the default Latest Replies?

Also, why add the forumid condition after the fact? I suggest doing that in SQL like:


For those asking about going to the last post, 'newpost' is better, since it goes to the first reply that the member hasn't read.

Change:
to

Because I am not a lazy administrator and put things all in the one forum. MY front page news is typed directly into the front page they don't have a forum id so how do you propose we do it now then?

Instead of just posting to increase your post count it would be better if you realised everyone was not a lazy administrator and had all the news in one section.

This is working great...Kind of..I may have found a bug

I have a private section that I don't want to appear in the results, but putting the forum id in the array causes the entire widget to not list ANYTHING..Through trial and error I discovered that it is because my forum settings are set to not act as a forum (as a category instead) --> because I only want people going through a private link without seeing other posts should they try to list the parent section..

So my question is this, instead of using the array to EXCLUDE forum id's, how can I set it to only INCLUDE forum ids?

EDIT:
Found it, thanks Videx...

However, this doesn't seem to work

Offered quick advice from your one liner of why you was uninstalling. Guess next time I won't try and increase my post count all 14 of them. By the way this mod pulls the data from the forum id's, guess were all lazy :confused:

PS
Admincp>forum&moderators>forum manager

Click on this one - vBCms Comments

At the top
Forum: vBCms Comments (id: 28)

See the id# and include it.

Your Welcome and have a nice day :)

Thank you so much for this!
I was wondering is there a way that we can use this for forum sideblock?

hi
how make the thread'S view count ?
is possible to show this ?
thanks

Hi I just got vbulletin 4.0.6 installed and I am not being able to find this location to install this Widget
Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

this is no Plugin or an addon. U have to add the Code as written in the Widget´s decription. Reading might help sometimes

Thanks for the tip, reading does help... lol only thing I lack is concentration..

@Lubbie , can you tell me how can I show this on home page as well..

installed, thanks!

Forgive my ignorance, but is there some comprehensive explanation as to why when I take the code in this mod and add it to the configuration of my php widget, save it, and return to it all I see is what was originally in the configuration box, which is:

Go easy kids, I'm a fledgling with this stuff, but my searches of this site for an explanation are coming up empty. I also see a few other questions of this nature in this thread, as the above displays the current date of course in the widget box. I'm obviously missing something, I'm just not versed in this stuff enough to deduce what it is.

Thanks in advance.

Can you save any widgets? Or you just can't save one with this code?

Can't save any in PHP format. HTML and the other canned CMS widgets work fine.

A quick search at vb.com shows it may be a server issue. http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...ve+php+widgets

Indeed. I'll check further. Dummy here didn't search beyond .org .... I always seem to find my answers here...shame on me. Thanks for the handhold, I'll take it from here! :D Nice looking addition; I hope I can get it working.

Can anybody help me please? I'm trying to get this widget to display the info on two lines rather than four so I've added a table, however it's having none of it and I'm getting the following error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/mysite/public_html/forum/packages/vbcms/widget/execphp.php(194) : eval()'d code on line 26

Many thanks. Ron :confused:

It has something to do with the

';

at the end of lines 26, 27, and 30. Try removing them.

Tried removing them '; but still get the same error. Really stuck with this, it should be so easy!

Same exact error? Same line?

Same error but line 27 instead.

Hey guys, with the .8 upgrade, this widget's colors don't flow with the rest of my site. I've tried finding the control in the StyleVars area but nothing effect it. Not very good at this stuff but can somebody point me in a direction.
As you can see, I have the left side working fine now but just don't know what controls the right widget.

Sorry for my ignorance, but is there a way to make this fine widget show pictures if listet as the first subject in the post? As for now it just shows the imagelink.

How do we change the color of the text?

Has anyone figured out how to add the thumbnails to this? As in, beside each post you have the poster's thumbnail of some sort, just to add more "color" to this widget and liven up the actual CMS pages...

I'd kill for that!

Is this working in vB4.1.2?
And if it is did it work out of the box or are there changes required?

Thanks....

Mine still seems to be working after updating to 4.1.2. But let us know. Be sure to read the entire thread before you install it so you understand the later changes.

I have tested this, but it doesn't work for me (vB4.1.2). It goes to the page of the last post, but always on the top of the page. The link in the widget is

and then redirects to
instead
I have tried to add the correct address... but no one of my tests have work. Does anyone have any idea to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Regards!!!

how to show Threads full content?

In a widget? That makes no sense. A single post could fill the whole box.

But if you're really determined, I bet you could edit the code to do that.

How do I change the color of "last post by" ?

vB already has a widget for recent post ... in vB 4x anyway.

This is very nice, I am not a php programmer so I am looking of some help with how I might make it so only the threads show up with no reply posts. I am trying to create a widget that contains only unanswered posts.

Thanks

where or how did you find a recent threads widget? i only have recent posts.

Unless I'm mistaken, this thread is about a "recent threads" widget. Be careful though, as I think there are better versions than the one in the first post.
