Hmm, I could make that feature an option in the Admin CP so you can choose. =/ You don't really need that, anyway, if you have the time cutoff or number cutoff...

EDIT: Version 2.21, with that option and some alternative templates you can use if you feel like it.

:) i dont wont to make you sad byt i cannot fint the option in ACP :)

Also the NEW custom_unreadnews template edits doesnt work for me i get pag error and dont collapsed... :(

Bad day...

EDIT: More... Link goes to url http://www.sitename.com/forumdisplay.php?f=

I thing something wronk with the code...

Both of those should be fixed now. I really don't get why the option didn't show up the first time (I didn't do anything with it, and it did get imported into the XML file now), but the alternative templates DO work, and the collapsing too (I tested it). Did you edit both the templates?

Yeap i edit both ( edit one)

I try many times...

Let me try with new version :)


IT WORKS PERFECT :)

Dude I really like your hack, just one thing, please collect several updates and deploy them as one, don't do 5 Updates in 2h, thanks :)

Well, when I'm making important bugfixes, I'd rather not leave you for two hours with a non-functional hack. =P

But I'll be slowing down anyway. Now it's working and has all the features I was originally planning, so all I'd be doing would be implementing some user-requested features.

At first: Great hack - I ever was in search for that.
But I have also one feature request. I would like that the news forum changes according to the forum languages. Imagine you have a multilanguage board and you have therefore also not only one news forum. So the best would be that you can specify (if you want) for every language a different news forum.

Okay, that took a lot of pondering over how I could do that in a practical way, and I ended up just allowing a PHP conditional to be set for every news forum and then allow multiple news forums. I used the language thing as an example, so you should be good to go. :) Enjoy version 3.0.

Hi

I have only just found this and i do like it very much :)
I have 1 wee question though, The box that the news appears in has no Title cell of its own like the rest of the boxes on my forum... or see image below
An example would be the box below yours is the Latest Forum Threads and you
will see that the title has its own cell, please can you do this for me, or let me know what and where to do the edit please?

Much appreciated

That is exactly what the alternate templates provided in the first post do. ;)
