You lost me, can you link to a demo or a screen shot?

[Staxed]

in about 30 mins I can...

(at work right now and can't get to it from behind work firewall)...i undid my modifications since they didn't work.

where are you lost?...it just doesn't show the info that it's supposed to show...(come to think of it...I think I have the call to the custom template in the navbar...i'll check when i get home...where would i change the hook for that?)

[Xplorer4x4]

Oh in that case maybe try navbits as the hook.

Go back a page or so and I explained it in one of my posts.

[croportal]

thanks really thanks


just one question

how can i remove smilyes and icons, and the thread go to new posts, last page, not first

[Xplorer4x4]

Smileys will not be parsed. Icons can be removed in the "forumhome_latestthreadbit" template. Simply search for .gif and when you find it you will see it in a code like

PHP Code:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_first_new_post]" border="0" /> 


Just remove everything starting at <img all the way to the /> including />

and the thread go to new posts, last page, not first

Not sure I follow but you want it to go to the last page of any thread listed in the latest threads table? The only way I could think of doing this is simply to have the template edited so when you click a thread name it would go to the last post of the thread instead of the first unread post. Would you be interested in that?
