How do I know what is my $newsforumid ??

View the forum you want; the forumid is the number in the URL that follows &forumid= .

Still cannot,only the heading shows,it did not even show the cannot get event message when I input the wrong $newsforumid

filburt1 · #17 11-01-2002, 11:50 AM

Did you make $newsforumid = 6?

This is a great mod, thank u! I pressed install!

Is it also possible, to have 2 or 3 latest postings items on the homepage?

filburt1 · #19 11-01-2002, 04:38 PM

It's possible but requires modification of the query and other code in phpinclude.

Is it hard to do?

But that would be cool, to have the top 3 latest postings (from your selected forum) on your homepage.

I added views and lastposter to it aswell. Take a look if you want.
Hmm, i will add a txt file.

Thats a great mod Filburt

I have a forum where the members write live reviews.... and I will probably install the mod changing it to :"Latest Live Reviews"

Is there any possibility this can be converted so that it will recognise the topics from the subforums of a forum? What I mean is this:

I have a main forum called : SPA reviews. Within that, I have 3 subforums.
1) Concerts
2) Album reviews
3) Interviews

the main forum is closed for writing... so when I enter the ID of this forum... it does not find any thread - 100% logical.
Is there a way it could take threads from the 3 subforums - which the main forum is comprised of?

Also one question : this mod adds one query at the forumhome. Is that going to be bad for the server loads? Im running my board on a shared server... so I'm kind of afraid

thanx in advance
clicked "install"

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