He wants two versions of the hack, one with the latest threads, and one with the latest posts?

In order to do this, you will have to change the variables within the plugin for the second of the two, otherwise it will not work

i.e.

Change:

PHP Code:

$getthreads = $db->query_read(" 


to:

PHP Code:

$getposts = $db->query_read(" 


continue to change the variables and it should work

Ahhh... okay. Satan saves the day... again.

Edit: That's actually not a bad idea... I may do the same.

[Chris M]

Oh incase you are wondering, you can increase or decrease the number of latest threads/posts displayed by altering:

PHP Code:

DESC LIMIT 5"); 


Change the [high]5[/high] to whatever you like, i.e. 3 or 10

I'm going to release another version of this as soon as I get the time, with some Admin CP Settings for this, so you can alter what forums do and do not show, the number of results to display etc

[ohgenki]

pardon me, but where is the plugin to download ? i don't see any anywhere...

[Biker_GA]

latest-threads-on-forumhome-111.xml is the file you need. Along with the txt file for your instructions.

[Chris M]

Yeh upon the next release I will .zip it all up
