In the admin CP, go to your plug in manager. Find the two plug ins called latest threads on forum home. There will be two drop down menus. One says title and the one below says Hook Location. Open the drop down menu and search for "forumhome"

Chris, again, is there a way to make the forum show up in the latest thread tbale?

If I do that, I get :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetch_iconinfo() in /home/www/web1/html/politikpla.net/forum/global.php(349) : eval()'d code on line 48

How do I resolve that?

how do I "Create a GLOBAL phrase called latest_threads"

nevermind, I found it.

Hi
Is there a way i can display the latest threads on one line instead of a new line for each thread?

Chris M ,

Is this hack work with forumpermission[canviewothers] ?

i am using this hack since you have released but it isnt working fine with this permission.

Chris, sorry to make this repetive posts but it would be a huge help if you could tell me how to print the forum names?

[Vierie]

If somebody wants to use that on a different page than forumhome, you have to add require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php'); to the php code of the xml and change the hook to global_start.

I'm facing this annoying problem
the post icon isn't showing, it's giving me an X, when I right click it gives me this address:
http://www.lebforces.org/forum/http:...cons/icon1.gif

I tried to fix it from the post icons admincp but didn't work
it's showing me the X when there are no replies on the topic!
any suggestions?

[Chris M]

Open the [high]forumhome_latestthreadbit[/high] template:
Change:

<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/$thread[threadiconpath]" border="0" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" title="$thread[threadicontitle]" style="vertical-align: text-middle" />

to:

<img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" border="0" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" title="$thread[threadicontitle]" style="vertical-align: text-middle" />

That should work
