damn, how can we make it so that it will work in a sidebar on any page?

Could you please do this?

Thanks

Could I put it on Whos Online page?

I try to put the ''$latest'' in template WHOSONLINE but it doesn't work

Would anyone be able to convert this to compliant CSS/XHTML???

The hack works great but is not compliant...

To make this work throughout your forum (not just forumhome), just put the variable $latest in a template that is called on all your pages (ie..header, navbar, footer) and change the hook location of the 'main code' (in plugin manager) to global_start

amnesia623: well, it not really working. With your modifications, you can put the last x posts where you want, this aprt is working. But a problem haoppen: each time you click to a thread link (or search result), the forum send you always to the same thread (I have VbSEO, perhaps it comes from here).

Same happening with me with no vbseo.

How could I set this up so it will only display latest posts but not users/forum/first x characters of post?

ThomasR · #**131** 09-02-2007, 06:04 AM

perhaps by editing the templates?
