is there anyway to move this hack? so its below the shoutbox I have installed?

yes, remove the str_replace in the plugin and add $latest to forumhome accordingly

Hello,

I am using this hack and I really love it. I have an issue now.
I have created a Forum especially for my Moderators where we talk about forum problems, rules etc. Even though I have restricted the acces to this forum for normal user they still are able to see the titles of our Topics everytime we write in our Privat forum.

Is there any way I can fix this and make it accesable only for my moderators...?


Best regards,
Indrit

Well i integrated forum permissions, so it will only show if it members have the view permissions, plz make sure u are using the latest version. also do you have a working example?

This is just what im looking for but I cant figure out how to run it with a google add next to it under my nav bar but above my shoutbox. When I put the google add next to it the google add goes on the top left and the posts go on the bottom right causing the block to go double in size. Any pointers on a code to get these guys to work together.

Well inside of the forumhome_latest

Find:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

And above that add:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Then find:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

and replace with:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Then in template forumhome_latest_bit

Find:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Before that add:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

The width might mess up, i have not tested this, so you can try. Hope this helps
