I have two questions, tried searching the thread but couldn't find the right answers:

1. I would like to show the thumbnails of the latest x entries (which in my setup would be either uploaded image files or video links) on the local_links homepage (and possibly the category pages). Can you give me the template snippet to add to the templates?

2. I set up my forumhome so that the local links main page and categories are subforums (act as forum set to no, with links to the relevant local links page). On the categories that don't have subcategories the latest entry is shown in "latest post" column on forumhome, but not on the categories that have subcategories (it shows no latest post because an upload into a subcat. doesn't trigger it). Is there a solution to this? (I saw that this has been mentioned here before but couldn't find an actual solution.)

Thank you for your help!

Edited to clarify the first question.

Thanks

1) There is an addon in the LDM extras directory (filmstrip), which places a set of thumbnails on the page. In version 2.2.8, it only works within a category, highlighting entries in the current category. In version 2.2.9, I have extended this plugin to do what you are wanting for the base category as well. You control what it does using new settings added to to the LDM admin/settings page.

2) Just to be clear what you mean - do you want the forumhome display to flag the latest entry in any of the category's sub-categories? I think this can be achieved - I will have to take a look at the code.
