Nice hack :)

It's possible to option for the news display in scrolls (bottom -> top) ?

thanks much - this is much more handy to me than the latest X posts, though I am sure that they both have their need. thanks again for sharing.

thanksssss

is it possible to have this hack, for only one category (instead of excluding all other forums) using on any forum page?

for example, i would like to show the latest threads from category 1 (forumdisplay.php?f=1) on any xxx.php such as search.php.

In the Main Code plugin apart of my product, if you find:

PHP Code:

---

WHERE post.visible = 1 AND $latest_and AND $latest_and_1 


---

Replace it with

PHP Code:

---

WHERE forum.forumid = X 


---

You can then also remove the whole section between:

I have been looking for something like this to get rid of the marque one as it sups up memory on IE.

Installed but cant get the forums that I dont want to show up to work. It is in posiiton 2 and I have used that and the name of the form and posts from there still show up.

Any ideas.

Did you add the forumid's to the Exclude option?

how many querys this addon adds the page?

1 query is added to forumhome

This is better (about server resource save) that use JS output from vb?

This is showing ABOVE all of my regular forms AND my sidebar. I want the "Most Recent XXX" threads to show as if it was the entire forum home, WITH the sidebar next to it.

This is a very nice mod, however I see that threads that are not approved seems to show up in the list :-(
any ideas how to fix that ?

Product Updated. Thanks for reporting.

Your welcome, thanks for the quick bug fix :-)

Thanks for the hack :) Installed!

Very nice hack,,,,greatly appreciated:up:

Uninstalled due to threads from private forums showing up in the recent threads list, and a quick glance of the admincp section suggests the mod doesn't have the ability to exclude specific forums.

and the forum permissions do not work?

I just doubled checked on two different sites, it is working i assure you.

Does not work if also have your LATEST x POSTS installed.

I have added this to one of my templates in the sidebar and it looks great after I modified it. I am wondering how to get this to also show up in the forumdisplay as well?

I tried to edit the plugin and change forumhome_start to global_start and that got it to display, but it caused errors throughout my forum.

Please help me

Great hack!

Thanks !

Whitemike can you please point me in the right direction with this?

In order to get this to work on my site, I had to change the Main plugin from forumhome_start to forumhome_complete.

Criticize --how did you get it working in the sidebar? I'm trying to get it in my sidebar but can't actually get it to display

I need to get this in my left column. Any specific help?

Well for 1, I only provide support for people that click install,
and 2, it will only working on the forumhome template.

Great work mike,

How do I get the thread names to appear as the recent topics, when new posts are made in them?

I suppose in a way, I'm trying to combine the functionality of the latest posts and threads mods, into one mod.

Thanks mate.

I can only show the last threads, not to show columns with user and forum ?

Is there any way to install two of these to get two boxes with different content? Help would be deeply appreciated!

Thread title cutoff does not work for me :(

I have the same problem here.. It seems that they both use the same variables and I cannot for the life of me get both of them to work together. :(

I hope the coder can help us integrate both as I have the perfect place for it.. I will be waiting ......

Maybe change this one enough so that it doesn't interfere with the latest posts version..

Ok guys, I got it working.

To get both the latest Posts and latest Threads to work together on the same forumhome page:

Go to Plugin Manager, and in the "Product : Latest X Threads on Forum Home" product, select the "Main Code" and edit.

Find all instances of $forumids

Replace with $forumids2

THEN ...

Find:
Replace with:

Use $latestthreads in your forumhome template.

Both plugins were using the same variables thus causing a conflict!
