Default Latest Topics Issues

Hey All,

This question might have already been answered (I did have a brief search but could find anyone else with the exact issue I am experiencing).

I have the "Latest Topics Module" enabled on the side of my forum... On VB4 I was able to configure this to bump Topics when they have a new post on them, it would contain the original Topic name, the name of the user who last posted and in brackets how many posts have been made on the topic.

With VB5 I haven't been able to configure the exact behaviour that VB4 offered, I can the latest posts to display, but these results in duplicate topics being shown for multiple posts (if that makes sense).

Is it possible for this module to behave as it did on VB4? Have I just configured it wrong?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Sam

That's not possible with vB5 without custom coding.

Adding number of posts in the Search module is not that hard. In fact, I have created on my site a custom Search module that adds the channel name where the post belongs. This is not displayed in the default view of the default Search module.

For the multiple entries per thread, that's a known "feature". You have to check "Started posts only" in order to only display one entry per thread but as expected, only the first post will be displayed and not the latest post in that thread.

Thanks for the response!

I think I have largely achieved what I wanted with the following settings:
Quote:
"sort": { "lastcontent": "desc" },
"view": "activity",
"starter_only": "0"
I then wrote some custom javascript in the header to make it appear like the old VB4 style.

Thanks again for your help.

Sam
