can anybody edit this order to work on all pages of the forum instead of forumhome??

Hi aveon
Your question is at least easy to answer...

When scrolling back one page you could find Renmiri's posting with the following:

To put the last thread on all pages:

Edit the plugin Latest Threads on Forum Home (found under forumhome_complete)

1) Change the Hook Location to parse_templates

2) Find

Code:
// #################### PROCESS LATEST THREADS #######################ABOVE it add the following

Code:
if (!function_exists("fetch_iconinfo"))
{
require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');
}3) Put the code you added to the FORUMHOME template (above) on any page you would like the latest thread added to.

Working perfect!



But I have another problem and reading through the 29 pages of this thread didn't solve it either. Whenever I activate the plugin I can't login anymore neither to the board nor to the admincp and it says invalid username or password. So I needed to deactivate plugins over config.php to access the board again.
I can see this cool plugin in action only when I deactivate the plugin in order to access the admincp, then activate it from there and view the Forum Home Page from there.
Does someone know how to fix this?

Thank you in advance
:cry:

How do I get the Latest threads to show at the place I've marked with green in the picture? I would want to display latest news there, and I think it would be a perfect solution if I just got it to work!

Edit the plug in hook to be global_start. The instead of editing the navbar template put the edit in the threadbit template. I cant say where at the moment as I cant test it for myself but later I can. If you need more info PM me.

EDIT: Sorry Nikkie i did not realize that was your forumhome. PM me and will look into it.

Where do you set how many latest threads are shown?
