It should have yes...

Edit: Oh, I just remembered, Satan, have you finished with the edits so that the plugin will get only New Threads, not just the ones most recently replied to? And Satan, I was just noticing your Screenshot you posted a few posts up, what would I need to do to put an image next to the Latest Threads box?

Yes that is the code you use to add an image

I have not had time to do this yet as I have not had a chance to review the code for it - I am taking a look at this now however...

There is yes - You would need to alter the HTML of the "forumhome_latestthreadbit" template, to display a <marquee> tag or whatever the XHTML equivalent is, and use the variables contained within the template to create the information you want and need for the marquee

I guess you missed my point. I installed the version that contains the fix but it's still showing private threads.

Edit your xml file in plugins.

Find: $limitfids .= ','.$forum['forumid'];

Then merely insert the forumid's you want to be excluded between the ','

I understand what you are saying, but I'm saying it shouldn't be as it doesn't on my test forum or on several others :ermm:

As Loki suggested, remove the part about permissions and just have a static $limitfids:

PHP Code:

$limitfids = ',1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9';

Then take away http://www.sodomcity.net/forum/ , leaving only images/icons/icon10.gif (for each icon) and things will work like a dream.

I suspected it was to do with your icon paths

I shall look at the code and have something probably by monday (going out tonight and working tomorrow)

Satan

please help this :nervous:

[Chris M]

I think this is correct:

In the plugin code, find:

PHP Code:

    ORDER BY lastpost 


replace with:

PHP Code:

    ORDER BY dateline 


In theory this should order it by the newest posted threads

Yes, that seems to work. Thanks Satan!

Glad to hear it
