This should be easy enough, for you :P

I have an announcement forum, and to make it more important/active, I want to show latest thread title from that forum on forumhome, before the forum list, below the navbar.

Something like IPB boards have. Like, Latest news: blahblah (1050 views, 10 replies).

Anyone up for it?

Oh, i request this with you. It would be fine. This was the only feature i was missing after the conversion.

In index.php, find:

PHP Code:

$newuserid = $userstats['newuserid']; 


Add under:

PHP Code:

$announcementforum = 1337;
$ap = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM thread WHERE forumid='$announcementforum' ORDER BY dateline DESC"); 


Change 1337 to your news forum.

Now, put this somewhere in your FORUMHOME template (I put it after $navbar, but it doesn't look really superb there):

<if condition="!empty($ap)">Latest news: <a href="showthread.php?t=$ap[threadid]">$ap[title]</a> ($ap[views] views, $ap[replycount] replies)</if>

Thanks! Only took 3 months

Well, as long as you have it I guess.

Thanks again :P

I hope more people will read my announcements now
