Last post on forum home, working version

I had tried a version suggested by someone else instead of my own and well, all it did was send the load average up by about 10 times what it was.

This version inserts the last title into the forum database when it is updating the last post name and time. There is no difference in loading time as everything is called normally by vBulletin.

This works on 2.0.x and 2.2.x

Thanks to floren for the latest update.

I think I figured out what my problem was. I used the editor from within the cpanel, and the god dammed thing replaced &-strings inside the PHP file (such as &nbsp) with gibberish.

I will catch my breath, and try loading this hack again.

I edited the files again (this time using the PHP Coder Pro), and it looks like it's working! Thank you!

The only problem is that Updating Forums info (threough the "Update Counters") did not make the titles to appear. The titles only start appearing as users post new messages.

did you read my post above? it shows when someone posts because it updates the field only when someone posts...

.I need to wait new members post/reply topic to get that field back.. anyway I can fix it?

Anyone have my problems after update forum counter or move/delete post?

I am using 2.2.5

I have checked this code and it works fine with my 2.2.5 board, the conclusion is that you have applied the hack inccorectly to the /admin/functions.php file.

Try re-applying or checking that code again.

Thanks, I will check the code to see any problems

I installed on 2.2.5 word for word and Im getting a lot of errors on the main page that look like

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /home/whynot-d/public_html/udfxp/index.php(332) : eval()'d code on line 2

ok I sorted it you said to add

$form['lasttitle']

to the template when it should be

$form[lasttitle]

brilliant hack Btw!
