vB3 Style - "Last Posts" Modification (v1.2a) · **Released**: 01-14-2003

vBulletin Hack: vB3 Style - "Last Posts" Modification.
Version: 1.2a

Designed and Coded by: Krakken
Copyright ? 2003

This hack will change the "Last Post" section on your Forum Homepage to a style similar to vBulletin 3.0.
It will show the last active thread someone posted and it's current icon in on the forum homepage in the place of the date and time. The date is completely removed in this version and the time is placed underneath the thread title next to the name of the last person to post in that thread.

Example:

Working Demo:
http://www.randomrubbish.net/bulletin

Files to Edit: "index.php" "forumdisplay.php" (x2)
Templates to Edit: "forumhome_lastpostby" (x1)

Current Releases:
v1.2a - Added a fix so the thread shows in the category view as well.
v1.1a - The script now only uses two querys (one for thread and one for thread icon) to display for all forums. Also, thread icons can now be seen next to thread title.
v1.0a - Changes "Last Post" template and adds last active thread view to forum home.

If you like this hack please click INSTALL. Thanks.

This hack will add 2 queries to your forumhome.
PPN's is more complicated, true, but it will add no extra queries.
Also, you could use a LEFT JOIN for the icon, if you want to get the path, so you save a query...

true also this hack right here doesnt work on subdomains. It just doesn't show the thread title.

TECK is absolutely correct. PPN's hack adds no additional queries. This is why I use his hack.

Hmm could you elaborate on how to do this? I have never used "LEFT JOIN" before. Thanks.
Also there was a little bit I left out of the installation file which is fixed now sorry.

That might have been because of a bug in the installation. Sorry, fixed now.

You can add the date very easily by adding:

PHP Code:


			
$forum[lastpostdate]

...where you want it to appear in the template.

I am having problems wth this picking up the proper thread in sub forums!

Krakken · #19 01-18-2003, 12:00 PM

All fixed.

Download and follow instructions to upgrade from v1.1a to v1.2a.

That was just a little side-thing I made. I may make it into a proper hack one day. Contact me on AIM: "Krakkius" and I will try to show you what to do.

I'd be interested in seeing that also.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
