Latest and Popular threads

[wputler]

I'm a noob to vBulletin.

I've managed to modify the template to get it to look like I want, but I would like to have a block with "Today's New Threads" and "Popular Threads" on the forum home page - like: http://forums.seochat.com/

I've seen that there are a few mods for "latest" threads, but is there one that does both latest and most popular? It doesn't seem that there's a nice easy way to search for mods.

Thanks,

The search bar works great if you select "all mods" and "titles only" when doing a search.

You can also go into the mods forum and ask to filter by forumdisplay prefix only, or forumhome and see what comes up.

Thanks for the tip. I was able to search through them a little faster. But in your tip, you said to search all mods - I am using 3.8.4, so I search the 3.8 mods. There is nothing there for latest (except by user) or popular.

For searching it would be nice to be able to select your version and see all the mods that have been tested with that version, even if they were originally written for another version. It would be nice to have them grouped by function - like Joomla's extension or Wordpress' plugin areas. Authors may or may not put exactly what the add-ons do in the title.

Still - does anyone know how http://forums.seochat.com/ got the latest and popular boxes on the forum home?

Thanks,

Search all mods, then read the last couple pages of a thread to see if the users commented whether it works on the last version of vbulletin.

As for that site, it doesn't look like any mod I've seen here. They probably just wrote it themselves.

I'm sure most mods on seochat are custom
