Okay, this is a great plugin, however, I need to make some modifications, and this is the first time I've worked with vB since 3.0.3....

The plugin system is a little new to me...

I need to have this plugin show up on EVERY vbulletin page... I'm not worried about queries affecting performance... but I looked at moving the settings on the plugin to a different location, but it won't show up.

I have had to move the template code to the footer template in order to accomplish what I'm looking for, so can someone give me the quick tip on what I'm going to need to do to get this plugin to work with my footer template, and on every page????

Add

PHP Code:

require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php'); 


once at the beginning of the php code in the xml-file and change the position of the hook to global_start.

After that you should be able to use the code in the footer.

Alter forumhome_latestthreadbit:
Find:

<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/$thread[threadiconpath]" border="0" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" title="$thread[threadicontitle]" style="vertical-align: text-middle" />

change to:

<img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" border="0" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" title="$thread[threadicontitle]" style="vertical-align: text-middle" />

[Prince]

can some one post the code to either limit forums or choose the forums you want it to display please?

I have read all through this thread and the only thing that sort of worked is this:

$limitfids = x;

but it only allows you to exclude ONE forum from the latest threads and I have 6 that I want exclude.

thanks
