Nice work first of all, I use your mod on my site and it's great but...

Is there a mod that has similar functionality to this site

http://www.3fsj.com.au/modules.php?name=Forums

Where it only lists the threads with the recent posts in them, and not the actual posts themselves?

Hi Mickael ! How are you ? :p

Thank you for this hack. Works perfectly :)

/me clicks install

Working great. Thanks!

WOW! Thanks man :D

Hi, I have a question. If I want to add this inside a certain subforum page, which template should I insert it to?

This will only work on forumhome.

Which one is it? :)

And can this be installed multiple times for multiple tables with different threads?

Anyone? How can this be installed twice for two different latest threads tables?

Why would you want more then one?

I would like to have one with latest news and one with latest promotions. They would take the threads from different forums.

I am currently building a home page for my forums through microsoft frontpage and am wanting to put this on the frontpage due to this making my forums slower. Is there a way to do this? Ive tried putting the code in and it works, it just doesnt update. If this is possible I appreciate any help.

thx.

It seems to be a tad slow on adding new posts, is there a way to make it show new posts as soon as the posts are made? Knowing my luck it's somewhere in general settings that I've just missed..lol. Thanks!!

This would have nothing to do in not pulling the latest data. On the refresh it will query the latest X amount of threads that you want.

s l o w as molasses on my board.

Uninstalled

Great mod if you can get it speedy.

Indeed, is slowly a lot the entire forum.

I really like this Hack. And i have ready installed it on my forum but i want to make the text bold and different colors.
Like i want Latest 5 Threads color different , Forum color different and Author color different. It would really helpful if you tell me how to change it. Thanks in adv.

Hey guys Just letting you know that Its working fine on 3.6.5. Great hack :);)

It would be in the forumhome_latest and forumhome_latest_bits I believe

Thanks.

Can you show me the path and what code need to be added? It would be much helpful. thanks for your quick reply.
Again i want to make the Thread title, Author and Forum (in which the thread created) colorful.

Any chance?

Try editing forumhome_latest_thread_bit or something similar.

This modification would not put any more load onto your forumhome, then adding it to a separate page. Regardless which page its on, it is a query.

ya its gotten better. But wanted to put it on the home page with few other things. So is there a way to put it on a home page thats not vbulletin related?

If you want to have it on a different page (Not powered by vbulletin) You would need to connect to the database and query the information. Same concept really.

im pretty new to website building, any chance you can explain that a little bit to me? If it would take a little while to explain it, dont worry about it than.

thx.

Yea its too complicated to explain it. Besides that is not what this thread is for. Sorry.

Is there a way to display the latest thread on all inside pages too?

Will it work when I've got 3.6.x?

I have a version for 3.6.x, but this should work. Not tested

I just wish this thing could work on every page...it would be so much more useful. Great hack though!

I have this working on vB 3.7 B5 with no problems. In fact, I have "latest threads" and "latest posts" running at the same time on the forum home page: www.churchmedia.net

I'd like it to show the thread prefixes and the thread icons. Is that an easy mod?

I'd also to be able to exclude certain forums from showing up in the recent threads/posts. I have some heavily used forums that aren't really designed for visitors and I'm afraid the topics might be confusing.

Thanks for the great hack! :)

I installed this mod and it is working in mozilla but not explorer.

Here is link to my site www.rotofans.com/forums

If I do the auto include it puts the latest posts directly below my navbar whether I use "Above forums" or "below navbar".

When I tried to hardcode it to my forumhome it would not take in explorer.

Now in mozilla it's works fine. It looks just like any of my other main forums areas.

Any ideas? I love the mod if I could get it to work in explorer.

Thanks
Will

figured it out!!!! just have to be careful where put the latest code in your template.

Please click install if you use.

Mike, how many queries does this add to the forumhome, sir? ;)

One

Is there anyway to have it only Include Forums instead. It's not the forums that bother me, but it includes the subforums too, and I have over 100 all together. I only want to show about 30 subforums (or one forum). It would be much easier to add what I want instead of what I don't want. Plus there are still new subforms popping up alomost every month, which would make this a pain to keep going in and adding the new subforms to the exclude list.

Great Mod though.

Thnx,
~thenutthouse

Edit: also would there be a way to have it display the default usergroups color for the authors? (example: Administrators, Moderators, VIP, Members)
