vb.org Archive - lastpostinfo for sub-forums

in FORUMHOME (index.php generally the only user of this template) the primary categories are followed by a list of either categories and/or forums (as forumbit level 2 template generated entities; either post or nopost depending on whether they are a category or forum). this display lists the LAST POST for each of these entries.

if you also choose to have your forums display a "third plus" level of sub-forums you get output something like this:

Sub-Forums: forum1, forum2, forum3, forum4

with no additional data.

if i modify the template forumhome_subforumbit_nopost to display the $forum[lastpostinfo] information along with the $forum[forumid] and $forum[title] information normally generated into the output, the result is "empty" data.

how or where can i cause the $forum[lastpostinfo] to be loaded (read from the database) when the other subforum info is?

so far i have figured out that i need to insert the equivalent of this code fragment into construct_subforum_bit in functions_forumlist.php

Code:

                        

                        // compare last post time for this forum with the last post time specified by

                        // the $lastpostarray, and if it's less, use the last post info from the forum

                        // specified by $lastpostarray

                        if ($vbulletin->forumcache["$lastpostarray[$forumid]"]['lastpost'] > 0)

                        {

                                if (!($lastpostforumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) OR (!($lastpostforumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canviewothers']) AND $lastpostinfo['lastposter'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['username']))

                                {

                                        $forum['lastpostinfo'] = $vbphrase['private'];

                                }

                                else

                                {

                                        $lastpostinfo['lastpostdate'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $lastpostinfo['lastpost'], 1);

                                        $lastpostinfo['lastposttime'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $lastpostinfo['lastpost']);

                                        $lastpostinfo['trimthread'] = fetch_trimmed_title($lastpostinfo['lastthread']);



                                        if ($vbulletin->forumcache["$lastpostforum[forumid]"]['options'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_forumoptions['allowicons'] AND $icon = fetch_iconinfo($lastpostinfo['lasticonid']))

                                        {

                                                $show['icon'] = true;

                                        }

                                        else

                                        {

                                                $show['icon'] = false;

                                        }



                                        $show['lastpostinfo'] = (!$lastpostforum['password'] OR verify_forum_password($lastpostforum['forumid'], $lastpostforum['password'], false));



                                        eval('$forum[\'lastpostinfo\'] = "' . fetch_template('forumhome_lastpostby') . '";');

                                }

                        }

                        else if (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']))

                        {

                                $forum['lastpostinfo'] = $vbphrase['private'];

                        }

                        else

                        {

                                $forum['lastpostinfo'] = $vbphrase['never'];

                        }

however, the output is always PRIVATE or NEVER so... something else needs to be fixed yet.

figured it out. had to add:

Code:

                        

                        $lastpostforumperms = $vbulletin->userinfo['forumpermissions']["$lastpostarray[$forumid]"];
