vB3 Style - "Last Posts" Modification (v1.2a)

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.

I have one section of forums that is 3 levels deep. Its doesnt work on the top level. the lower 2 levels are great.

Look at the PBX systems section for example:

This is a GREAT hack! thanks

does nobody know how to fix this?

I've found part of the problem...At least on my board.

It seems that the forums that grab threat titles from other forums are sub-forums that are 4 levels deep that are listed under forums that are 3 levels deep. When I removed the 4 level deep forum from the category that it eleviated the problem of grabing thread titles from another forum, but when the 4 level sub-forum was returned the category under a 3 level sub-forum the grabing of a thread from that sub-forum occured again.

I don't know very much about php so I doubt that I'll be able to come up with a solution (though I am trying), but maybe that will help someone else figure something out.

edit: I gave the wrong levels deep
