Latest XX Threads on Forumhome Page

This hack will add your latest xx threads to your forum home page.
The good part is that you can do all this with only 1 query.

The following options are available:
- number of threads displayed
- alternating background color (same like the showthread view)
- thread's title (with link)
- thread's title lenght (just in case you use it in a small table)
- thread's icon
- thread's date and time
- thread's starter (with link)
- thread's no. of views
- thread's no. of replies

[high]The hack uses each forum's permissions.[/high]
In other words, if you have a private forum, your private threads will not show unless you have permissions to view them.

ESTIMATED INSTALL TIME: 5 minutes

Could this hack be set up to list threads by their time of creation (most recent) instead of their last reply time?

Can this hack be loaded onto a non-vb page?

TECK are you still around?

This bug is great, but it doesn't show whether you've viewed a thread or not or whether it's new since your last visit.

Anyway of adding this?

Hi all,
Very nice hack ! thank you.

What must be changed to exclude some forum ID's to be shown at the "latest Threads summary".
For example we have a testforum for testing signatures and vb Code. This treads should be not shown on the summary list.

My program skills are not so good to implement a array with the forum ID's by my own.
Can anybody help ???

thanks in advance
Tom

Alright I dont want to bring up old threads but I am trying to install this on my home page which IS NOT my forum home page. It is my main page at www.vorspann.net I want it to show the Recent Discussions at my main page and not my main forum page. How do I install it to do this?

[toonarific]

That's exactly what I want to do too; have xx threads appear on my main website index page, not on a VB page.

Hi,
Is there a way to show also the name of the Forum where the post is in the latest thread summary ?

Sorry about contacting you on msn, won't happen again..


As for my question, I was trying to setup your hack with a few modifications...


Basicaly I want to make it exactly like you have on your second screenshot..

This is the code I have in there right now trying to accomplish that..

PHP Code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" width="100%" align="center">
    <tr>
        <td>
            <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">
                <tr>
                    <td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" colspan="1">
                        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
                            <tr>
                                <td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}">
                <B><normalfont>Statistics</normalfont></B></td>
                            </tr>
                        </table>
                         </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    

                    <TD bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" width="100%">
            <smallfont>
<b>Top 5 New Thread Replys:</b>
<hr>

<table>
<tr>
<td width=65%><smallfont>Thread Names:</smallfont></td>
<td width=25%><smallfont>Last Posters:</smallfont></td>
<td width="10%"><smallfont>Replies:</smallfont></td>
<td align="right"><smallfont>Views:</smallfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=65%><smallfont> <a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$thread[threadid]"><b>$thread[title]</b></a></smallfont></td>
<td width=25%><smallfont><a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$thread[postuserid]">$thread[postusername]</a></smallfont></td>
<td width="10%"><smallfont>$thread[views]</smallfont></td>
<td align="right"><smallfont>$thread[replycount]</smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
            </smallfont></td>
                </tr>
                </table> 


I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, if it's coding in the index.php or in the threadbits template..

Basicaly it just takes that table, and for each "latest XXX thread" it makes a whole new 'complete' table for it...




Any support would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks
