I would look into vbispy if you want instant updates.

If it was not better if per Thread always only the last entry is indicated and not, as well as now it is which was written if 3 times in the same Thread, three times one after the other it is indicated.

Only the last entry per Thread should be indicated!

It is updated in my newer version that is released under the 3.7.x. It should work on 3.6.x as well though.

I'm searching, but not finding it... is there a way to add this to a non-forum page ?

Thanks

Everything works well except I've noticed that if the query trims the thread-title at a speech-mark ( " ) , instead of displaying the speech-mark in the result it shows &quot... instead. But if I increase the cut-off by a few more characters then the speech mark is displayed correctly. How can I make the query display the speech-mark without it displaying '&quot...' at certain lengths of cutoff?

Here is the query to trim the thread-title:

PHP Code:


			
if (strlen($row['thread_title']) > $vbulletin->options['latest_trimplusthree'])
       {
        // adds the cutoff ... with substr
        $row['thread_title'] = substr($row['thread_title'], 0, $vbulletin->options['latest_trim']) . '...';
       }

Is there anyway we can get a somewhat and excuse the word, generic version of the code in HTML or PHP so that we can put it on our website home page and not on the form home page?

As we are trying to do in this thread:

Thank you for your assistance.

Does this work for 3.7.3?

I have it installed and the table appears but with no posts listed. I have it enabled and set to show the latest 20 posts.

Have a look: http://www.alt-psychology-nlp.com/
