Thanks:)

but looks like not working corect with the vba_index.They dont display the anything..

thank you for this nice hack

For vba and another cms necessary add to setting cms variable $mdm_ht_box as global.

How is this on server load?

ANy chance we can see this in english, and perhaps a demo ?

Kudos on taking the time to do this modification.

But we want english screenshot

added but still works not..

Images is updated.
elenh, you added this variable without $?

Maxim, you get my PM?

With $...
Sorry ,without the "$" its works fine.

When I click 'hot thread' it just blanks.

cannot see the pic of the hot thread, how can i set a poster for a thread ?

should use hook
i do not prefer file edit

Server Load ?

yahoooh, if you find a hook that can replace an entire class - let me know:)
jambo_1969, no:)

any way to show the hot threads by order of the amount that the users have hot threaded it? Also, any way to make hot threads delete themselves every X days, for example I want to see new hot threads every 7 days.

I forgot to mention that when I click on the hot thread list it doesn't do anything :(

latest version by mad@max

added: now you can use first attachment from first post in thread for image.

thanks to mad@max

ps:
if you want that width and height settings from hot threads options effects attachments images in hot threads, if it used,

--------------
installed

When i install this 2.6.1 version nothing display at forum home.
but version 2.4.2 can display everything

my forum is VB3.8.4
---------------------

if it possible to display last image attachment instead of first image?


If first image doesn't look good then admin have to delete all attachment and reupload inorder to display first images

if use last image
admin can change images or upload new image easier

Thank you installed. :)

Ichigo88, nothing is impossible, just a hack has a slightly different purpose :)
