Latest XX Threads on Forumhome Page

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

What must be changed to exclude some forum ID's to be shown at the "latest Threads summary".
For example we have a testforum for testing signatures and vb Code. This treads should be not shown on the summary list.

My program skills are not so good to implement a array with the forum ID's by my own.
Can anybody help ???

thanks in advance
Tom

Has anybody been able to do the above? As I too am looking for a way to exclude one forum from the list.

Still looking for a way to exclude a forum from the list.

I did it on my website plongeur.com (home page) but doing a mysql query for excluding forum ID's.
I show last threads subjects with icons for every forums excluding the ones I don't want, and below I show the same thing just for only one forum.
Below again, I use PluhNews to show the last XX threads of one forum, including contents.

Have a look on it and tell me if it's what you want.

I've installed this and it works perfectly if I add the $threadbits variable on my forumhome template... but is there a way to have the latest threads on the header instead of forumhome?? it would be greatly appreciatted!

[wolfyman]

I would like to include this hack on my main (non vb) index. Can somebody please give some easy to use instructions on how to do this? It looks like quite a few people are interested, and I read this thread three times without finding the answer.

Vb is an addition, not the main focus of my site so I don't want to change my index page to use the vbhomelite hack. I'm new, so the more details the better, thanks!

thanks a lot

What vB version are you running? Since you are new, i doubt that it is vB2.

This is a 3 year old thread about vB2.
