vBadvanced CMPS 2nd Latest Topics Module addon / for specific forums

Hello Everyone,

Over the last few months I have seen this asked for many times.

Brian has given instructions on how to do this, but, I thought it'd be easier to type this up, and post it here for people to find a little easier.

All Credit for this goes to Brian

What this does, It creates a new module for the CMPS homepage, that pulls posts just like the latest Topics module, but for a specific forum or 2, plus the amount of posts in this block is customized to a different amount other then what is in the vBa Default settings.

Here is a Demo. right side under Merlin, where it says Latest_QOTW

I hope this helps everyone, good luck and enjoy

Sorry about that, you can see it in action on my homepage

On the right under Merlin, The Module that says Latest_QOTW

I have an Articles module too, but it is set so only a Certain Usergroup can see it.

Yes, I set up Merlin as basically a welcome to the site.
He tells people a little about the site, and how to get around.

I also have the block set up so only unregistered / not signed in people see him

I'm glad you like

Sorry, but... Whats the question?

Are you asking if anyone got it working, or are you asking if someone can get this working for you?

ahahhahaha

Translation: N1 work ! I love u thx

N1 = Nice one (meaning the hack)
work ! = It worked for him/her to install the hack.
I love u thx = There is so much excitement over the hack that they are jumping up and down with gratification that there is love in their heart, and joy in their sole.

Thanks HarryButt,

I have to assume that is "leet speak" or some variation, and I am not up on it

Glad you like Benjamini
