Latest Active Threads on Forumhome

Hi - I'm using this in VB 3.8 :
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...s-on-Forumhome

Code:

<script language="" type="text/javascript">

<!--

for (x = 0; x < 5; x++)

{

document.writeln("<img class=\"inlineimg\" src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /> <a href=\"showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"\">"+threads[x].title+"</a> <span class=\"time\">($vbphrase[posted_by]: "+threads[x].poster+")</span><br />");

}

//-->

</script>

which comes out as

Thread title1 (Posted By: username1)
Thread title2 (Posted By: username2)
Thread title3 (Posted By: username3)

and it works fine.
but any idea how I would get it to display the forum name as well and have the forumname linkable as well?:

Thread title3 (Posted By: username3) in Forum4

You can do it, but you need to create two plugins.

First, using hook external_query and code

Code:

$hook_query_fields .= " , forum.title AS forumname ";

Second, using hook external_complete and code

Code:

if ($vbulletin->GPC['type'] == 'JS')

{ // javascript output

        $output .= "

        function forum(forumname, forumid)

        {

                this.forumname = forumname;

                this.forumid = forumid;

        }

        ";

        $output .= "var forums = new Array(" . sizeof ($threadcache) . ");\r\n";

        if (!empty($threadcache))

        {

                foreach ($threadcache AS $threadnum => $thread)

                {

                        $thread['forumname'] = addslashes_js(htmlspecialchars_uni($thread['forumname']));

                        $output .= "\tforums[$threadnum] = new forum('$thread[forumname]', $thread[forumid]);\r\n";

                }

        }

}

Then you also need to edit the FORUMHOME template, find the code you added, and replace the line that starts with document.write with

Code:

document.writeln("<img class=\"inlineimg\" src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /> <a href=\"showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"\">"+threads[x].title+"</a> <span class=\"time\">($vbphrase[posted_by]: "+threads[x].poster+")</span> in <a href=\"forumdisplay.php?f="+forums[x].forumid+"\">"+forums[x].forumname+"</a><br />");

Do I need to create plugins if it is live and working fine as is?

As far as I know, yes, because the forum name and id are not available the way it is.

If someone else has an alternative, please post it.

It wont break anything long term though will it?
like I say it is working fine as is on the forumhome.

Well, it's true whenever you add a plugin it's possible that it will cause a problem someday when you upgrade, so you have to weigh that against how much you want the mod. In this case I don't think there's too much risk.

I'm more a programmer and I'm not familiar with all the mods that are available, so if you feel better installing a product, maybe there's something else out there that will do what you want.

Sorry what I mean is it safe to jsut add the code from here:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...s-on-Forumhome

rather than needing to make a plugin first as it works fine.

Oh...yeah, that only requires template edits so you don't need any plugins for that.

cool- any idea how I'd get

Thread title3 (Posted By: username3) in Forum4

rather than just

Thread title3 (Posted By: username3)

Code:

<script language="" type="text/javascript">

<!--

for (x = 0; x < 5; x++)

{

document.writeln("<img class=\"inlineimg\" src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /> <a href=\"showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"\">"+threads[x].title+"</a> <span class=\"time\">($vbphrase[posted_by]: "+threads[x].poster+")</span><br />");

}

//-->

</script>

Sorry, you lost me now. Like I said, you can't do it without plugins.

I'm out - anyone else want to take a shot at this?
