I did a search and couldn't find anything...
So, is there anyway to preview the last post in a thread when you hover over the link instead of the first post? Thanks

i wanted a version of this, i wanted to keep the existing system but wanted it so that when you hover over the go to last post button it shows the last post.

Me too.

I believe it is possible, and even think that it is done with one of the 'latest threads on forumhome' hacks...but can't remember details.

Does still need testing, but here ya go:

edit forumdisplay.php and find:

Code:

		$previewfield = "post.pagetext AS preview,";
		$previewjoin = "LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post ON(post.postid = thread.firstpostid)";

change that to:

Code:

		$previewfield = "post.pagetext AS preview, post2.pagetext AS preview2,";
		$previewjoin = "LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post ON(post.postid = thread.firstpostid)
			         LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post2 ON(post2.threadid = thread.threadid)AND(post2.dateline = thread.lastpost)";

edit functions_forumdisplay.php and find:
[code] $thread['preview'] = strip_quotes($thread['preview']);/code]

and add below it:

Code:

		$thread['preview2'] = strip_quotes($thread['preview2']);
                          $thread['preview2'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_trimmed_title(strip_bbcode($thread['preview2'],false,true),$vboptions['threadpreview']));

edit the template threadbit find:

Code:

<phrase 1="member.php?find=lastposter&amp;t=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>  <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=lastpost&amp;t=$thread[threadid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" />

and change it to:

Code:

<phrase 1="member.php?find=lastposter&amp;t=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>  <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=lastpost&amp;t=$thread[threadid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" title="$thread[preview2]" />

and voila on mousing over the last post button you`ll now have a preview of the message..
