How in work
In the menu "Options Thread" of each topic appears "Make a hot thread / Remove the status of hot (depending on status). Checking the threads in such a way, we form a list of hot threads. Further, this list will be rotated in a random order, in the quantities to what you specify in the settings (default 5). Posters displayed in each cell, are collected from the first post of the thread, the first image, from tag img (or your own). Then this image uploading to your server, for make a thumbnail, and write it in db as link of image to your server.
To see the current list of hot threads, simply click on the "List of Threads" in the header of the output window. When you load a list of topics, with the possibility (for groups 5,6,7) removal of the status of hot or at any of the topics on the list.

Install

1. Upload all files from folder upload to forum folder
2. Then change the attribute of folder hotimg on 777 (if it needed), for record thumbnails.
3. Edit template SHOWTHREAD. Find:

   <div><label for="ao_sut"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_sut" value="stick" /><if condition="$show['unstick']">$vbphrase[unstick_thread]<else />$vbphrase[stick_thread]</if></label></div>

   Add buttom:

   <div><label for="ao_sht"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_sht" value="hotthread" /><if condition="$thread['hotthread']">$vbphrase[unhot]<else />$vbphrase[dohot]</if></label></div>

   (strange why in this section no hook)

ps:
if you want that width and height settings from hot threads options effects attachments images in hot threads, if it used,
edit template mdm_ht_bit:

<img title="$title" class="inlineimg"<if condition="$vboptions['mdm_ht_attach']"> style="max-width: $vboptions[mdm_ht_thumb_w]px; max-height: $vboptions[mdm_ht_thumb_h]px;"</if> src="$thumb" border="0" alt="$title" />

When i install this 2.6.1 version nothing display at forum home.
but version 2.4.2 can display everything

my forum is VB3.8.4
---------------------

if it possible to display last image attachment instead of first image?


If first image doesn't look good then admin have to delete all attachment and reupload inorder to display first images

if use last image
admin can change images or upload new image easier

Ichigo88, nothing is impossible, just a hack has a slightly different purpose
