Latest XX Threads on Forumhome Page · **Released**: 09-07-2002

This hack will add your latest xx threads to your forum home page.
The good part is that you can do all this with only 1 query.

The following options are available:
- number of threads displayed
- alternating background color (same like the showthread view)
- thread's title (with link)
- thread's title lenght (just in case you use it in a small table)
- thread's icon
- thread's date and time
- thread's starter (with link)
- thread's no. of views
- thread's no. of replies

[high]The hack uses each forum's permissions.[/high]
In other words, if you have a private forum, your private threads will not show unless you have permissions to view them.

ESTIMATED INSTALL TIME: 5 minutes
REQUESTED BY: Nobody
TESTED IN VERSION: 2.2.7

Hi, TECK. Well done on the hack. I have just one request:

Is there any way to grab the first XX characters of the first post of the thread?

Thanks.

Bump.

hey Teck I have a question man. In your instructions you say this:| TEMPLATE forumhome |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| Add the $threadbits string anywhere you like in your forumhome template.

I dont follow what I am supposed to do? what threadbits string? Can you tell me what I need to exactly put in the forumhome template?

thx

Is preferable to create a side column for this, using a new table.
The best way to do it is to fire up your html editor and create there your tables, then to aply it to the forumhome template.

I'm lost. Is this an answer to my question about the threadbits?

Roody-

Is this what you want? Take a look at my forums. I have setup the main forums, then on the right, a side column for info, latest threads, etc. If you scroll down, you can see how I set it up.

something like that although the positioning i would want different. this works on a member level am i correct?

Smoothie · #70 01-15-2003, 06:15 AM

By member level you mean what? Yes, its based on permissions. You need to add a side column, in a new table and put $threadbits there. Then, adjust the forumhome_threadbits template to your liking.

You want this displayed on your forumhome page, correct? How do you want it positioned?

Roody · #71 01-15-2003, 08:27 PM

hmm so this wouldnt work at the top of the forums meaning new threads/posts being listed up top? it has to be on the side?

as for what I meant yeah I was wondering if it worked on a permissions level good to hear that it does. i think i will probably want to monkey around with this in my test forums. my problem is I suck at tables
