Hello Satan ,

please if you can to let me how can i do marquee last theard at the top of forum home page ,

and there is another thing , is there a way to view the orginal poster of theard and and lastposter togather ,

regards

[Brinnie]

Hey... I think it would be cool if you could set it to only Hot Topics... Yea, that way people could add a caption like "Highlighted Forum Discussions" like sitepoint does.

I probably wouldn't use it, as I don't like to clutter my board index, but it's just a thought.

Regards

change the code inside forumhome_latestthreadbit to this one:

PHP Code:

<a href="showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]" title="$thread[preview]"><strong>$thread[title]</strong></a>&nbsp<a title="$thread[date] $thread[time]? $vbphrase[replies]: $thread[replycount]    ? $vbphrase[views]: $thread[views]" href="showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=$thread[threadid]"><span style="text-decoration: none"><font color="#000000">$vbphrase[last_post] by </font></span></a> <phrase 1="member.php?find=lastposter&t=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>    &nbsp;&nbsp;.:|:.&nbsp;&nbsp; 


you can change it if you wish...


then go to the FORUMHOME and change the position of this hack from down to the top ..

so you need to search for

PHP Code:

<!-- latest threads -->
<if condition="$show['latestthreads']">
<table class="tborder" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_latestthreads" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_latestthreads]">
    <tr>
        <td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont"><marquee dir="rtl" onmouseover="this.scrollAmount=0" onmouseout="this.scrollAmount=2" scrollAmount="4" scrollDelay="50" direction="right" height="35">$threadbits</marquee></div></td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</if>
<!-- /latest threads --> 


hope that will work...

thank you

[albarq]

hellsatan, sorry

i found a small issues , i have a small forum which its topics just appears to them owner and moderator... so, could you upgrade this hack please to work with this forum ??

thank you

[Chris M]

I'm not sure I understand the request...

You want threads that are only viewable by the user who posted it and moderators to remain so in the Latest Threads box? Or you don't want them to show up at all?

If the user does not have permission to view the threads then they won't show up in the box - If you want to exclude the forum from showing on the latest threads box altogether, alter the plugin, replacing:

PHP Code:

AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids) 


with:

PHP Code:

AND forumid NOT IN (0,X$limitfids) 


Replace [high]X[/high] with the forumid of that forum, but DO NOT add a comma after the X

It should already do this - If it does not, make sure you are running the latest version of this plugin

    LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(thread.threadid = deletionlog.primaryid AND type = 'thread')
