Hmm, I have installed this, and been to "VbOptions" and set things, and it isn't showing anything, so I uninstalled it... and tried another one, and nothing seems to work. So is this made for 3.7.3?

Yes, if it is not working, then you can install it, and add the $platest into your forumhome template and it should work. might be a problem with a custom template.

How to get this mod to specific forums, for example we want for one forum to show only threads from its forum in specific forum if you know what I mean. Not on forumhome.

Could someone explain me how to install this MOD?
It my first MOD, I upload .xml file, and I see under Product Manager that there is Latest X Post on Forum Home...

What to do now?
Step by step please.
Thanks

It will just be like the screen shot? No scrolling text maybe?

How to cut words for shorter threads and forums?

Duncan Idaha · #59 12-10-2008, 09:03 AM

Installed it and it is a pain in the neck. It does show the latest posts, but clicking on the post only refreshes the page (ditto for clicking on the author) .. and messes it up big time. Buttons dissapear, I cannot get to posts and I cannot even log out!! I have to close IE, clear the cache and than log in again.
What is wrong here? Am using VB 3.7.4 PL1

Is it possible to display latest 50 posts on a vbadvanced page? or seperate php page inside the vbulletin folder?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
