Found my problem I was using the wrong index.php you should clearly state to leave /admin and edit the other index.php. In any case great gack works now. But how do I make the title a link to the thread and then go to newest one, or that thread. Also how do I make it look like this



I want a UBB style last post coulmn, mostly my problem is adding the users icon and also putting it in what seems to be a different cell or something.

[LuBi]

See below is a picture of my forums current Last Post coulmn. I made it so when you click the title of lastpost it takes you to the post. What I now need to do is move that table or cell over to the left and not be on the right side.



Need some bigtime help, also below is my current forumhome_lastpostby template.

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" id="ltlink"><tr align="right">
<td nowrap><smallfont>$forum[lastpostdate] <font color="{timecolor}">$forum[lastposttime]</font><br>
by <a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&find=lastposter&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><b>$forum[lastposter]</b></a><br></smallfont></td>
<td nowrap>&nbsp;<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&goto=lastpost&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><smallfont><b>$showlastpostingtitle</b> <alt="Go to last post"></a></smallfont></td>
</tr></table>

Make from that what you can, if you wish edit it and either email it to me or repost it with the correct script/code.

THANKS YOU SOOOOO MUCH!?!

		$forum[lastpostdate] <font color="#666686">$forum[lastposttime]</font><br></smallfont></td>
	</tr></table>

Great as usual bane, now my next step is how do I put the icon of the thread to the left of everything.

Also how do I make it so when the title of the thread passes the set 20 letters it like makes the last 3 "..."

So for instance my Title Thread is "Welcome to the best forum" which is 26 characters long. My default length is 20 so it makes it look like "Welcome to the best". But I need it to make it look like "Welcome to the be.." I dunno how to explain more. Any help would be great

Hi Afterburner,
great hack, as usual
Thanx for the hack, what LuBi suggested sounds good to me, is that doable?

Funzt ohne Ende, gute Arbeit - wie immer eigentlich.
Das was Lubi da vorschl?gt, den Titel "auszupunkten" ab
einer bestimmten L?nge klingt ?brigens supi - ist das ?berhaupt machbar?

Danke f?r den hack!

cu & Gr??e,
-Tom

OK I set it to my TODO list

Thanks Afterburner

How difficult would it be to get the last title of posts into the category view (when you click on a category containing forums e.g.)?
thx,
-Tom

[Afterburner]

I think this isn?t difficult. But at the moment my wife is at home and I need silence *g* for my work and not "Hello Baby", "Do you love me", "Please tell me..." and so on

OK, I finised the hack and will upload the new version as soon as possible.
