Login to your AdminCP -> Scroll to Plugin System -> Click Plugin Manager -> Look in the list for "Latest Threads on Forum Home" -> Click the "Edit" link next to it -> Select in the DropDown bar next to "Hook Location", global_start.

You've gotta paste the code you pasted into the "forumhome" template to wherever you want it...

That'll be $29.95. Ha ha... just kidding.

If I do that, I get a
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetch_iconinfo() in /home/www/web1/html/politikpla.net/forum/global.php(351) : eval()'d code on line 49

[Kirk Y]

Sorry, I typed the wrong thing in, change the hook location to "global_start". My apologies.

[Vierie]

I did use global_start. Still get the same error.

Maybe I changed the wrong one. I have two plugins with "latest threads on forumhome", one with the hook "cache_templates" and one with the hook "forumhome_complete". I changed the second one.

[Kirk Y]

Try changing both.

[Vierie]

No change.

Hmm... strange. According to roundhost, that's all you needed to do. I'll see if I can't get it to work on mine, and I'll get back to you.

[Vierie]

Thank you.

Replace [high]x,y,z[/high] with the forumids you wish to exclude

Satan

Doesn't seem to work for me.

PHP Code:

$limitfids = ,167,168,;foreach($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forum) { 


Here is the line of the plug in. I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ',' in /public_html/forums/index.php(459) : eval()'d code on line 6

Ok I realize Chris is gone, but anyone?

Also note the permision bug is back when using this on vB3.5 GOLD!

EDIT 10/06/05:Pretty sure the Permision bug was my dumbass fault. Please check it though.

EDIT 10/7/2005: Permision bug was my fault! Ok I found a fix for this. Instead of yours I had to use:

PHP Code:

$limitfids .= '167,168'; 


Is there a way to include hte forum name in the display?
