Thread of the day · **Released**: 02-06-2004

With this hack you can select a thread of the day

The thread of the day is a thread randomly picked from all threads STARTED
the day before. Then the thread of the day appears at your forumhome.

You can customize different options in the threadoftheday.php file, for the people that installed my member of the day hack this one is very similar, but it selects a thread instead of a member to show at the forum home.

*Update* For showing always the thread with most replies instead of a random thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=14

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no

Hi there

I liked this hack a lot, but it'll work like this Hack in old 2.3.x versions it'll very nice

this old hack works like this:

the Admin select how much threads he want to be the "Thread of the day", and it'll show in a table with all the selected Thread's it has been selected from the Admin

plus I did the timming of the selected Thread's OPEN so, it'll show as much as it have been selected from the Admin, with scrolling text not table

can it be done like that ??

waiting a reply

installed this one, yet im having the same problems with the avatars.....people who have uploaded their own get to see the avatar, but when selected from the boards own avatars, nothing shows up.....

My members just love this mod. Is it possible to choose the topic of the day based on the number of views versus the number of replies?

YLP1 · #37 02-17-2005, 07:02 PM

I noticed that when there is a smilie used in the topic of the day, the smilie does not show up only the name of the smilie. Is there a way to fix this?

It uses to much space...

Flow Fusion · #39 02-26-2005, 03:55 AM

Is it a way to place this @ the bottom of your forum?
