[WIDGET] Recent Threads · **Released**: 02-19-2010

In an attempt at mirroring an old ASP website I used to have, I modified the recent threads display to show a bit more information in a bit more compressed format.

Feel free to use/hack/slash this code for your own needs...

Navigate to AdminCP -> CMS -> Widgets.
Create a PHP Type Widget and paste the below code.

PHP Code:

$toutput=''; 

$recent_threads = $vbulletin->db->query_read("

Be SURE to update the following line:if (!in_array($recent_thread[forumid], array(105,83,121,110,82,112,109,101,102,72))), to group the forumids you wish to NOT have included in the query results.

Indeed. I'll check further. Dummy here didn't search beyond .org .... I always seem to find my answers here...shame on me. Thanks for the handhold, I'll take it from here!

Nice looking addition; I hope I can get it working.

Ronseal · #**103** 10-20-2010, 07:05 PM

Can anybody help me please? I'm trying to get this widget to display the info on two lines rather than four so I've added a table, however it's having none of it and I'm getting the following error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/mysite/public_html/forum/packages/vbcms/widget/execphp.php(194) : eval()'d code on line 26

Many thanks. Ron

It has something to do with the

';

at the end of lines 26, 27, and 30. Try removing them.

Tried removing them '; but still get the same error. Really stuck with this, it should be so easy!

rsuplido · #**106** 10-20-2010, 07:51 PM

Same exact error? Same line?

Ronseal · #**107** 10-20-2010, 08:06 PM

Same error but line 27 instead.

mmacrypt · #**108** 11-20-2010, 02:33 PM

Hey guys, with the .8 upgrade, this widget's colors don't flow with the rest of my site. I've tried finding the control in the StyleVars area but nothing effect it. Not very good at this stuff but can somebody point me in a direction.
As you can see, I have the left side working fine now but just don't know what controls the right widget.

cykelmyggen · #**109** 12-09-2010, 04:35 PM

Sorry for my ignorance, but is there a way to make this fine widget show pictures if listet as the first subject in the post? As for now it just shows the imagelink.

Joey Link · #**110** 01-23-2011, 10:56 PM

How do we change the color of the text?

HouseAddict · #**111** 02-09-2011, 08:14 PM

Has anyone figured out how to add the thumbnails to this? As in, beside each post you have the poster's thumbnail of some sort, just to add more "color" to this widget and liven up the actual CMS pages...

I'd kill for that!
