Latest XX Threads on Forumhome Page

This hack will add your latest xx threads to your forum home page.
The good part is that you can do all this with only 1 query.

The following options are available:
- number of threads displayed
- alternating background color (same like the showthread view)
- thread's title (with link)
- thread's title lenght (just in case you use it in a small table)
- thread's icon
- thread's date and time
- thread's starter (with link)
- thread's no. of views
- thread's no. of replies

[high]The hack uses each forum's permissions.[/high]
In other words, if you have a private forum, your private threads will not show unless you have permissions to view them.

ESTIMATED INSTALL TIME: 5 minutes
REQUESTED BY: Nobody
TESTED IN VERSION: 2.2.7

ya. you can use it... just look at my hack "vbHome (lite)" abd extract the code there... make from it a php page and insert it onto your shtml file.

anyway I can get it to show the last xx most replied threads from the last 24 hours? this would be extremely usefull for me, thanks

[TECK]

just as a simple curiosity, why do you need this? it shows the last 10 (or whatever value you need) threads. in the last 24hrs you might have 100 threads started... i dont understand, please explain to me...

also, in order to use a dateline, you will need the 'SELECT count(*) AS count' and that cannot be mixed with the query i run there... unfortunatelly.

Great but I need more from your hack...

Can you gimme the code that I can see a lightbulb icon in every thread on the homepage....so in my example I have a count of 5 threads to show. So in all these threads I want to have a lightbulb icon which is ON if there is a new post in that thread and off is there is no reply...the second thing is that when it is ON (so there is a new reply) I can click on the lightbulb and it brings me straight to the latest reply..

And could you make a scrolling display for your hack, so that is shows for e.g. the latest 4 posted threads in the display but if you scroll down you see a history of previous posted threads up to e.g. 100. What do you think???

Nice hack
I'd like to ask something...

I don't like the cells to be one under the other like this :

-
-
-
-
-
-

I would like them to be like 2 or 3 of them in each line... like this:

- - -
- - -
- - -

this way we have 9 latest threads which take more space horizontally and less verticaly.
I would also like this to be cetralised and not aligned at the left side of the board/page.

I guess I would have to put the $threadbits in a table and then centralise the table? (align=center)? Right?

could anyone help me with these modifications??

thanx in advance

I dont know where to put the $threadbits's in the forumhome thread, I want it like all the rest of the fourms normal have it (to the left side of the forum) how can I do this? look at any of the pictures of this thread to understand what I mean)
