VBSEO rewriting for the articles is not working.
Anyone knows a fix for this?

hi, how add system pagination? (multi pages) thx

[Popa Andrei]

Test on 4.1.2 and works great.
Thanks for the great widget

Excellent addition! Clicked install.
One question, is it possible to get this to show the latest thread as opposed to the latest post? If I have 5 posts a day in the same thread, I only want to see that thread showing up on the page. Instead now, I can see 5 different posts on this page and it's getting very long.

Same with photos, if someone posts to their gallery, is it possible to get the system to only show the first photo?

It is possible to go to the last post and not to the beginning of a thread?

Hi Phalynx,
I installed the product the I the created widget doesn't appear on my Home page.
What I can check and where ?
I already changed the path as other users told :
require_once('./cwnw/cwnw.php');
replaced by
require_once('/home/web/mysite.com/www/cwnw/cwnw.php');
but nothing changed.

normally you do not have to change the path if you upload the file to the root.

I put the folder cwnw in www and the file cwnw.php inside it.
So server path of the file is /home/web/mysite.com/www/cwnw/cwnw.php

I put again few minutes ago the command require_once('./cwnw/cwnw.php');
and I still have the same isse
