Random Threads On Index Page

YAY! My Third hack!

Basically what this does is displays a different Thread Name and how many posts are in it on the index page, EVERYTIME you refresh.

Its very easy to install and stuff.

So Have Fun!

BTW: IF you install it, please click the install button. Thanks.

EDIT: Everybody keeps asking what this does! So i'll try and explain a little better.

When you refresh the FORUMS INDEX PAGE, it will display a TITLE of a THREAD and HOW MANY REPLIES THERE IS. Now do you guys get it?

jly2klee, please help me in my trouble...

Thanks jly2klee, it's really I was looking for!

inetd, I found this that I believe it's an error:

<a href="showthread.php?s=$sessionhash[session]threadid=$randthreadid">

and changed with

<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$randthreadid">

and now it works fine.

julius, don't work for me! And i don't see quantity replies in random thread.

I didn't care about it because I only put the thread title.

This is exactly what I was looking for, except that I would like to get a few random threads (around 5) from a few specific forums (say, forumids 30, 31 and 32). Is there any way to do this?

Also, could I get them in a nice table that shows the thread title and the forum they're in or something like that?

Thanks.

the thread count doesnt work because its wrong in the code:

after installing, find:

PHP Code:

$randthreadreply = $randthread[replies]; 


and replace with

PHP Code:

$randthreadreply = $randthread[replycount]; 


yay, go me

Did you get the permissons problem taken care of yet? I'd hate to see one of my private forums threads show up there.

[The Piper]

Ok, I'm still looking for a way to do this:

I have three forums, one for guitar tabs, one for guitar chords and the last for bass tabs. What I wanted to do is pull a random thread from each one of those forums, so I could feature a "random guitar tabs", a "random guitar chords" and a "random bass tabs" threads.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
