Sort threads by the date of the first post · **Released**: 10-08-2005

A really simple plugin.

There's no controls, you need to add your forumid to the script itself.

It simply orders the threads by the date of the original post instead of the date of the last post made in that thread.

This could be useful for a forum in which you post news etc where you want the latest news to stay on top.

Very simple indeed

To use this for multiple forums, replace this:

Code:

if ($foruminfo[forumid] == 51 )

with this:

Code:

if (in_array($foruminfo[forumid], array(51,52,53)))

OK, for the noob...

How do you install this?

Andreas · #7 10-11-2005, 07:35 PM

1. Start your computer
2. Login with a valid account for your computer
3. Make a connection to the internet (if you are not running vBulletin locally)
4. Open your Browser (if you are using Windows and the Internet Explorer, there should be a small e-icon next to the Start-Button in the lower left corner of your screen - click it)
5. Point your browser to your AdminCP-Driectory
In a standard installation, this is http://www.yoursite.com/forum/admincp
6. Login with your Admin account
7. In the left frame click the arrow next Plugin System to expand this group
8. Click Download/Upload Plugins
9. In the from, click browse to select the XML on your harddisk you previously saved there (in step 0)

Or in other words: Just import the plugin XML

How would you do a setting for multiple forums?

Fantastic plug-in!

Any chance of modifying it slightly so that users can further sort by the normal options too? (last post/thread starter/ratings etc)? Or is that too involved?

thanks!

How can you order it opposite? I want the last post to be at the bottom and the first post to be at teh top?

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