Latest X Threads on Forumhome: Advanced! v1.1.1
http://www.vbhackers.com

This an advanced version of Niels' hack. All credit for the idea and template code goes to him! All I've done is make it admincp configurable, phrased (1 phrase :p) and show the forums of the threads without an additional query per thread displayed.

Having said that, here's a howto on installing:

1. Unzip the .zip.
2. Import the Product in your Admincp.
3. Go into Style Manager, Edit Templates and edit the template FORUMHOME.
4. Add "$latest_x_threads" (without quotes) somewhere in the template. I decided to add it bellow "$navbar", but its your choice ;).
5. Save the template. You're done!

Important: v1.1.1 released.
To upgrade, please download the latest .zip (1.1.1), and run it in your admincp.

Changelog:
v1.1.1: Permission check typo fixed.
v1.1.0: Permission checks added.
v1.0.0: Initial release.


That's it, enjoy!

I currently have no demo, but yes it does display the forum name. I'll get you a screeny in a sec.

I've added a screenshot and updated the code to add permission checks.

Thanks goes out to Niels for throwing the code together in the other thread, saved me some time .

If I use the Bump Thread Hack here, does it show up the poster name ?? I have the problem with topXstats hack as stated on the other thread !!!

[Arnoud]

Yes, I see no reason why it wouldn't.

[dobberman]

I get this for some reason with the new updated v1.10:

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

[Arnoud]

My bad, should be fixed now.

[dobberman]

Many thanks, now it works ok.

[cyberman]

I'd like to have Last Poster column !! how do I do that ??

[Arnoud]

Here's how you do it:

Find this code in the latest_x_threads template:

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

and bellow it add:

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

then open the latest_x_threads_bits template, above

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

add

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