To the root. The directory cwnw should be in the same level like "includes".

Works great once I fund where to put the files

The only thing I miss; when clicking on a forum title it would be great if the link was to that actual post, not the first post in the thread.

A thought; does the script care about what the current user has rights to see? If I have restricted forums (logged-on members only) will postings show in the widget to non-logged on persons?

I really can not get into my head why there is no "show all" widget like this one included in vB4!

Many thanks for this widget!

it would be good if you can also add download II and Media librairy

[Xencored]
