Sort subforum by last post?

[sportfreund]

Hi everyone!

We are searching for a solution for the following problem:

The subforums should be sorted by the date of the last post:

sub 2 - day 1
sub 4 - day 2
sub 3 - day 3
sub 1 - day 4

For example a few days later:

sub 3 - day 1
sub 2 - day 2
sub 1 - day 3
sub 4 - day 4

etc.

Is there any possible solution for vbulletin? Add-on, template editing...?

I can see where you are coming from, but there is no easy solution to this.

It would definitely require a hack, and I am pretty sure one has not been written to do this.

That's why i am asking here!

Its for the official club forum of Werder Bremen, we need something to sort the subforums (one for each player). Since the admin of the club can't do it...

I think it can't be that hard to solve this problem.

Is there any way to take the "sort by last post" function for threads to the subforum-template?

Sounds like it would require some complex coding to achieve this. Out of curiosity, why do you need this sort of setup?

BTW Werder Bremen=My fave German team since I used to live in Bremen =)

Since we are having many users and a fast growing forum, we need to create a subforum for every player.

That would make about 25 subforums in the main forum "team".

Since it wouldn't make any sence to sord the subs alphabetically we need a function to sort them by last post.

No one?

I don't think this is as easy as you may think it is. You'd need to find someone who understands the datamanagers (or whatever they are called). From what I can see by taking a glance at this issue, the forums are not spit out based on a query when people ask for the page. Try doing a search on the term 'displayorder' in your files and you'll find the places where the forums are 'ordered'. Not a fun task, imo.
