In your XML file that contains the code for the column Peterska2.

Try using this code which I created for my site and see what you think. It validates, and has collasible blocks and looks neat!

Just thought you might be interested.

[hnjco]

any idea for how to add new threads in this bar. like last 10 new threads ?
Plus most popular threads is last 2 weeks (5 threads)

i'm new in this field so can anyone help me?

[peterska2]

You would need a modification that did those, and then integrate them into each other. You might want to post a request or question for help with that.

can this be changed to all forum pages? if not is there a working one for 3.6.4 ?

[peterska2]

Any changes made to it to display on other pages are unsupported, and assistance cannot be given if it does not work correctly.

amykhar wrote an all pages one for 3.5.x which works on 3.6.x

[Caiman]

Love it. Anyway I can have multiple boxes, instead of just one? (one below the other, that is)

[Caiman]

n/m ...

</table>
<br />
<table class="tborder" border="0" width="100%" align="center" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]">

After the last </tr> works great (and leaving a </tr> at the end of the template)

Kerry-Anne, Great hack and a must have!

[Caiman]

Has anyone worked out an easy way to export latest posts into the side column? I've tried myself but I'm not the best at modifying hacks to work together and so on, I'm aware though it could be done with the external.php script? But aye, gonna throw the boat out and ask if anyone who has done it might share? Thanks!
