Last post on forum home, working version

I had tried a version suggested by someone else instead of my own and well, all it did was send the load average up by about 10 times what it was.

This version inserts the last title into the forum database when it is updating the last post name and time. There is no difference in loading time as everything is called normally by vBulletin.

This works on 2.0.x and 2.2.x

Thanks to floren for the latest update.

I don't recommend using this as it will increase mysql load alot as it will increase the load of the page as it access' the getpermissions function which is more queries to the database, if they have alot of forums then alot of extra queries, I will release a completely fixed updated version tongiht hopefully.

THanks I know my version wasn't the best thing.... i'm no coder

I'll wait for yours Please provide an "update" txt also

Any word on the updated code?

[Omero]

Not yet, i hope PPN release it...

[Scott MacVicar]

I've spent ages lookin at the code and there is no easy way to get past the first level of forums without running another sql query and well i'm against running other sql queries.

I'll release the small modifications I have made to stop it showing private forums in that level of the forums. Though i highly recommend setting in the control panel that users can't view private forums.

Ok, Im feeling might foolish right now
I installed this awesome hack with no trouble on 2.2.0
I upgraded to 2.2.2 the other day and was just now getting to re-installing hacks - for some very bizzare reason, I cannot make this one work on 2.2.2

I've gone thru it 3 or 4 times now, each time i end up with parse errors. I should have been copying them down, but i was so sure it was just me being an idiot and missing something, i didnt bother.

Im gonna try again sometime tonight, but i was wondering if anyone else had any trouble getting it to work after they upgraded to 2.2.2?

If it fails again later, i will document my errors - I know you cant offer help without specifics... i'm just miffed cuz this is such a great addition, and not only do I miss it, my members are asking for it back...
Thanks!

I have 2.2.2 and the hack is working perfectly

[Scott MacVicar]

I've installed this fine on everything from 2.0 RC1 to 2.2.2
I'll gladly help if your having problems though.

Every thing was working great untill i moved a topic form a main forum to a sub-form. Title shows but after a member posted to it when you click on the link it reads

"No thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster"

url shows "www.myaddress/community/showthread.php?s=&threadid="
