Hrm...

You will need to alter the query this time :p

Again, not tested, but in the plugin code, find:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

add above:

Now find:

Replace x,y,z with the forumids you want users to be able to view :)

Satan

Just wondering, Has anyone tested this yet????



To block forums from showing I believe this will work. Place the id of the forums here.. replace the zero with the forums you want blocked..



Code:

I just tested this and it works. These are the same instructions as for the other latest threads hack only you edit the xml file instead of the index file...

[Prince]

I guess I am just stupid because that does not work, I get errors.

[Chris M]

Chris

[Prince]

that causes errors, the only way it works is with one number in there:

$limitfids = x;

[Lizard King]

It is not getting the right threads with correct time.
The last thread time shows : 03:45
But the correct time shall be : 22.39

I'm trying to use this with the Right side menu plugin here on vb.org and when I insert the code into the menu nothing is displayed. Any ideas?

[Mathiau]

Installed on vb 3.5.3 on 6 templates and all work perfect!

is there a way to add ajax auto refresh option to this ?

Add

once at the beginning of the php code in the xml-file and change the position of the hook to global_start.

After that you should be able to use the code in the right column.

Hello,

[Bytecon]

Now that would be too cool ..

[imported_yesonline]

I imported the .xml and modified the FORUMHOME template and the mod is working on my forum, however, I see there is a "Step 3: Click INSTALL" which I don't know how to do it? I can not find the INSTALL link or something like that on my forum, is it a necessary and must do step? The mod has been working on my forum now, my vb is 3.5.3.

thanks

[Vierie]

Scroll up to the very first post of this thread. On the right side you will find something like:
Mod Options
Install this Modification
Report this Modification

Click on "Install this Modification". Done.

[majoreyeswater]

Wouldn't mind some help.

I have installed this on my messageboard - its a great option, but not working quite perfectly for me. I am not 'live' as yet, i.e. just some test users, but I get two different views when looking through different browsers (not surprising)

Through Firefox works ok, but without any icons/smilies (whatever is supposed to be depicted) and through IE I get the unpleasant image not found 'x'.

Could someone advise why this might be as I haven't a clue.

[mbader71]

Installed and working fine,

thanks alot man

[Eagle Creek]

Having a problem with this :(.

I installed it when my board was at the domain antispywareoffensief.nl. But since we moved it to nucia.nl it gives a doulbe URL at my icons.
Please have a look at the screenshot:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=41349&stc=1

As you can see two URL's are give. Is this a bigger problem (something like a setting somewhere) or is this a problem within the hack I can fix?

[shaynehammy]

Very nice.

Quick question. How many threads will it display in Latest threads and is there a way to modify this?

Thanks

[Vierie]

It displays 5 threads. If you want to change it, search for

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

in the xml file and change that number to whatever number you need.

[shaynehammy]

Thank you for your help. Can we marquee this in anyway?

Yes it work fine on my forum with VB 3.5.4

[jason_x]

installed but i think there is a permission bug:

can view forum set to no but the thread shows up in the latest threads list.

also the internal area (viewable by administrators only) shows up there

[Pathor]

I don´t see anything on my lokal test-system...

php5, mysql5

[jason_x]

Did you test it as a guest?

yes.

temporary solution:
i have added the forumid to $limitfids (hook forum_complete).



Code:
---------------

threads with this forumid will not show up on latest threads (unfortunately for all usergroups!).

[Pathor]

Pathor? Your SN sounds known for me. Are you from vB Germany?

Yes, I am. ;)

Welche Version hast Du ? Läuft hervorragend unter 3.54. Ich habe einige Änderungen am Code gemacht, so das die Übersicht nun als Tabelle dargestellt wird. Ist nur halt das Problem, das Gäste es auch seheh können, und das möchte ich nicht. Hast Du irgendeine Idee, wie man das abschalten kann? Meine PHP Kentnisse sind sehr begrenzt - leider :( -Mike

Du musst eine if-condition um den ganzen Templatecode setzen.

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']">
<Latest Threads on Forum Home>
</if>

Somit sehen nur registrierte Benutzer dein Forum. :)

[Pathor]

Danke mein Freund. Ich schulde Dir was. Wenn ich auch mal irgendwas für Dich tun kann - zögere mich nicht, mich zu fragen -Micha

Kein Prob. ;)

I needed to be able to see the names of the forums in the list, so I modified it a bit... Here's the XML code:

Then, in the FORUMHOME, here's the Lastest Threads section:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Worked like a charm! :cool:

[somasimple]

Hi Tim,

The forumtitle you used isn't used in any another place.
The modidfication doesn't show the forum title! :confused:

[criscokid]

Can this mod be used to show the 'latest threads' block other than on forumhome? like on a portal front page?

[jokerz]

This hack is not about the latest threads, it is only when you post the threads and it'll show the latest post in threads. Weird.. I thought its only list of new threads not new posts.

eg. If I post in old thread or new thread, both will show up as 'Latest Threads'

[harishankar]

That's exactly what I'm looking for jokerz. I wanted latest posts. I guess this is the mod.

For the "Latest threads" as you want it, I think there's a tutorial at vbulletin.com which does that using the external hook.

[criscokid]

I found the HowTo Display Latest Active Threads on ANY normal HTML page (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158895) document. but it's only the 'last x threads posted' not 'last x postings posted' like this one is.

This is the one that I want - I just loosely used the term 'latest threads' as I took it from the title of this mod. Maybe it should be renamed to be more exact?

Anyway... is it possible to use this mod on a page other than on forumhome ( like on a portal front page)?

[harishankar]

Any way to control to number of new topics which appear?

[steadicamop]

I've just updated this from a previous version - I'm not sure if the old one did this, but where do I add "&goto=newpost" on the end of the url .... I do understand some basic PHP but just can't see where it goes (so that each thread which has been read, when you click the link, always goes to the last post).

Cheers!!

Jason

I can't find any admin controls for this mod either.

I have two requests. How and where do i exclude certain sections from the latest posts and i would appreciate it if anyone could show me how to have the latest posts scrolling down vertically?

[criscokid]

Ha ha... I'm getting somewhere! :) :)
There are no controls for this mod in the adminCP - you modify the seetings in the XML file - simply make your edits then upload your XML file. Look for this bit of code in the file:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------


Change the 5 in 'DESC LIMIT 5' to however many threads you want to show.

Now all I need to figure out is how to cut out the graphic icons, make the thread title longer and do away with the superfulous 'Last Post: x by y » Replies: a Views: b' text.

[dutchbb]

@ criscokid: You can change the title length in that plugin too (it's standard set to 22)

And the rest you can find in the template "forumhome_latestthreadbit"

[criscokid]

Thank Triple T :) :)

Sorted.

I found also that using the default syntax, the latest threads popped up without a border table. I modded the FORUMHOME insert code to this which seems to be a bit cleaner.

Is there anyway to modify the text so that forum thread title is truncated less? At the moment it seems to truncate around 10-15 chars along (even though I have hundreds of pixels whitespace on the right of the latest threads table.

[Techno05]

Anyone know how to make it display on any page?

[hnjco]

Hi Chirs:

I have following questions for you

1) Is it possible to move latest thread box to the top on forum home? underneath usercp menu?

2) Is it possible to display the thread in a column format like

[Thead] | [Posts] | [Poster]

3) Can we increase the size of the name of the thread ? we want to show the full name of the thread not cut it?

Please give us quote to make these changes?

thanks
hnj

[criscokid]

Play around with the settings in the XML file... edit the file then upload it again. Sorry I can't be more specific than that... I had to use a bit of common sense (and tial and error when I made changes for my site).

I don't know how to implement this, but it the things you mentioned were easy. All of the aspects of the marquee are HTML codes.

There is definitely a permissions issue with this hack, it seems to totally ignore any permissions given - guests/regular members can see restricted forums.

[Onkel_Tom]

There is definitely a permissions issue with this hack, it seems to totally ignore any permissions given - guests/regular members can see restricted forums.

As I use the original hack from NTLDR for my vb 3.0.x, I ported it today to the new 3.6.0 version on my own because of many changes and additions.

For the permission issue please try to change the following lines in the .xml file to their original syntax an try if the issue is gone. For me it works fine with this lines!

find in product-chrism_latestthreads.xml

How can I get the usernames sisplayed in the 'Latest forum threads' section when clicked on to open in a new window?

[shaynehammy]

If i want to change the display name to "The latest 20 threads" or similar would i change the phrase after CDATA below?

<phrase name="latest_threads"><![CDATA[Latest Threads]]></phrase>
</phrasetype>
</phrases>
<options>
</options>
</product>

[Nick0r]

Unfortately Onkel_Tom, that made no difference. On 3.6 guests can still see private threads showing up in the 'Latest threads' section of the homepage.

[aveon]

does anybody know how to make this hack visible on all pages???

[Pathor]

That´s also possible with this hack.

[aeroguy]

could some add a join table function as to also enable to show what forum the threads are in. The get thread function within the mod already sees the forum id just need a join to get the name from the id.

Should be done with:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

and to restrict the lenght add after:

To show the name of the forum you have to change the Template forumhome_latestthreadbit, add

or something like that.

hey Tom it didnt work mate or did i do something wrong i added the codes where you wanted me to add them and the latest posts still only visible on forum home how can i set permissions and make it visivle on all pages helpme please and i will come up with a really good design for side column...

[putergirl]

Hello, I am having problems viewing the latest threads. Sometimes I can see it and sometimes I can't. I've tried clearing my cache and the cookies to no avail. Just when I give up, it will show again briefly, then poof, gone again. I mean, I had resined myself to not being able to see it, and it showed up an hour later after I did nothing. Any ideas what could be causing that? The same thing happens with my users, some can see it, some can't, and we didn't have this problem till I upgraded to 3.6. Thanks.

I have also tried re-importing the product and allowed overwrite.

[aeroguy]

i am too getting an mysql error

Invalid SQL:

Awesome mod, and thanks Tom for the info on how to change the title length.

I've just noticed somthing regarding W3C and CCS validation. While it validates OK in W3C. It doesn't in CSS.

The problem seems to be the use of this in the latestthreadbit template.



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



It's failing the validation, anybody got any idea what to use instead that will pass CSS

[MRGTB]

Here is the fix, change this:

Change this code to in the "forumhome_latestthreadbit" template.



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



To this:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



It will then be both W3C and CSS valid

------------------------------

You can also add this code in the same template &nbsp; to create a gap between the Thread Title and the Last Post details.

Look For:



Code:

Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

Hi there, I'm looking for a hack just like this, for vB3.6.0 - but rather than have the thread appear at the bottom of the forumhome page, I'd like them listed in a coloum down the right-hand side of the page... Would this hack be easy to change for that purpose?

Thank you

This does work with vBulletin 6, I'm using it on my site. The problem with using it as a side column is the column width will not be wide enough to display all the details. So your better off sticking to a center block.

That is good to hear :)
The problem with using it as a side column is the column width will not be wide enough to display all the details. So your better off sticking to a center block.
But surely that's just a simple case of editing the html? Maybe start with the thread title, new line, date posted, new line, who posted, etc..

Maybe I'll have a play around with it tomorrow, see if I can get it working the way I want. :)

[MRGTB]

Yes, I guess you could just intruduce some <br /> into the lines.

[Ninth Dimension]

I've successfully been able to edit the templates to achieve what I want, you can see the result here: http://theice.co.uk/ :D

[MRGTB]

I see, well done. I'm thinking you have removed some of the fields. But I'm wondering why you just didn't add some "<br />" in the right places to make the information drop below each other on its own line, so you could have kept a lot more fields displayed in the narrow column. Or did you only want displayed what you have: IE- thread title, time, name.

[Ninth Dimension]

I decided that info such as number of views and posts were not that important. What was more important were details such as the thread title, when it was last updated, and who was the last to post to it, this would allow me to list more threads in the same ammount of space. I guess I could go back and add a 'title' tag to the title of the thread showing the number of posts and views.. *goes off to do that now*

[MRGTB]

Yeah, I know what you mean. Each to there own really. I prefer to show as much info as possible like the FORUM link and so on. But thats me, were all different.

[Ninth Dimension]

A suggestion to the hack owner - to make it so that only threads which have updates the member hasn't yet seen to appear in bold, while the rest remain unbolded.

EDIT: Nevermind, I've just seen you have something like this in place already. :)

[Ninth Dimension]

Yeah, I know what you mean. Each to there own really. I prefer to show as much info as possible like the FORUM link and so on. But thats me, were all different.
Yeah, I get what you're saying. One thing I think your forum might benefit from is to use a table to make all the info nice and organised into coloums, rather than just lose like it is now...

[MRGTB]

Well it's really funny you should say that, because that has crossed my mind, but I was a little unsure how to get each post in it's own column though.

[MRGTB]

How can you get it so each latest thread displayed uses it's own alternate colour. Like alt1 and alt2 in the box. So it looks nicer. So if you displayed 4 threads, they would be like this: alt1,alt2,alt1,alt2

[Ninth Dimension]

I think I can do what you want, both with the coloums and alternating colours, but I'm going to need to see some of your templates first.

I'm going to need part of your FORUMHOME template, everything from <!-- latest threads start --> to <!-- latest threads end -->, and the whole of your forumhome_latestthreadbit template.

It would also be handy if you could give me the content of your 'Latest Threads on Forum Home' plugin.

If you can paste that info here, I'll see what I can do for you :D

[MRGTB]

Here is my template:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Plug-ins attached

[Ninth Dimension]

I still need the forumhome_latestthreadbit template.

As for the plugin, could you maybe copy/paste the text for me please? The text I need can be found: ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> Latest Threads on Forum Home (the one listed next to forumhome_complete) -> then copy/paste all the text from the 'Plugin PHP Code' box please?

I'm just off to bed now, but I'll take a look in the morning and see what I can do for you :D

[MRGTB]

Here the threadbit code:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



But you could have got the template code for this out the plug-in I attached to the other post above as a zip file

[Ninth Dimension]

OK, here goes... I've not tested it or anything, and I've not added the alternating colours yet, but try this on for size and see what you think:

FORUMHOME (part)


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



forumhome_latestthreadbit


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

[MRGTB]

what files did you edit, it looks like the only changes you've made are to the latestthreadbit. Is that right?

Because I can just replace that template with your code to test it if that's all you've changed, rather than uploading the changed code as a plug-in

[MRGTB]

No it did what I thought it would do after looking at your code changes, it put each item in it's own seperate column sideways and looked a right mess. You went along the same lines as me in your thinking. But it doesn't work that way I'm afraid. You just finish up with either more columns than you want, or the threads repeat each other if you try the same method using the $threadbit and more alts in the forumhome box code.

[Ninth Dimension]

Well, it's a bit hard to work on building what you want remotly like this... I gave it a shot, but i guess I failed... oh well, sorry.... I'm sure you'll be able to work out what you need to do.. good luck.

[MRGTB]

Not to worry, it no big deal. I'll play around in the future with it. As I'm busy working on another ed2k hack I have installed right now.

[aveon]

is there any way to show it on header instead of only on forum home i asked that question couple of time now any body can help me??

[MRGTB]

is there any way to show it on header instead of only on forum home??

you could just put the box in the header, instead of the FORUMHOME template, but I'm not sure if that would work, as I think without trying it, it needs to be in the FORUMHOME template to grab the information. But you can try it.

It's only a case of putting the box that displays the threads in the header instead of the FORUMHOME.

it doesntwork that way it needs a modification but i need help on this

[MRGTB]

the answer to your question is in this thread, When I ran vBulletin 3 and installed her hack (which this is based off) I had it working on an external page, as well as my forumhome. You have to add some code I think to either global.php or another file. The answer is somewhere on the first 15-20 pages of this thread.

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=60544&highlight=latest+threads

[aveon]

hello gary i tried that but when i tried to edit the index php it gives me error when i upload back to db so is there anyother way to do this ill be really apparitiated

[MRGTB]

Well there are two things in that thread you has to get right. one was this.

@SuperG: Put the code just above the following in global.php so its run on everypage and you could be able to add the $threadbits variable in any of the templates:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



If vB use that variable on any page then you'll need to change this line:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



And replace $threadbits with something unique like $my_latest_threads for example and change the variable in the template accordingly.

try that, becuase you might have missed the bit were the guy got an error like you and had to add another line to the code I've highlighted in red.

[aveon]

ok gary

i put this code

require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');
eval("\$threadbits .= \"".fetch_template('forumhome_latestthreadbit')."\";");

above this on global.php

// parse some global templates

ad then on chris's produck i changes hook name to global start but it gave me this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetch_iconinfo() in /kunden/137092_81737/www.e-paylas.de/forum/global.php(357) : eval()'d code on line 1334

sorry I'm not sure.

can anybody edit this order to work on all pages of the forum instead of forumhome??

[Agent0]

Hi aveon
Your question is at least easy to answer...

When scrolling back one page you could find Renmiri's posting with the following:

To put the last thread on all pages:

Edit the plugin Latest Threads on Forum Home (found under forumhome_complete)

1) Change the Hook Location to parse_templates

2) Find

Code:
// #################### PROCESS LATEST THREADS #######################ABOVE it add the following

Code:
if (!function_exists("fetch_iconinfo"))
{
require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');
}3) Put the code you added to the FORUMHOME template (above) on any page you would like the latest thread added to.


Working perfect!



But I have another problem and reading through the 29 pages of this thread didn't solve it either. Whenever I activate the plugin I can't login anymore neither to the board nor to the admincp and it says invalid username or password. So I needed to deactivate plugins over config.php to access the board again.
I can see this cool plugin in action only when I deactivate the plugin in order to access the admincp, then activate it from there and view the Forum Home Page from there.
Does someone know how to fix this?

Thank you in advance

Thanks for this. Tested the code and I maybe didnt quite explain what i was after. I want a box the size of twenty latest posts but inside a scrolling marquee that displays the last 50 posts. If a member hovers over the scrolling latest posts, it will stop. Once it gets to the bottom of the list, it starts from the beginning. Seen it on a few websites but cant remember any to show you an example.

[Staxed]

Could you elaborate on what your trying to do with it?

it's in my first post...a few above yours...

but basically...you know the module for vbadvanced that shows new threads...trying to get something similar in a custom template (for a left column)...by using this mod...just need to reformat the coding so it only displays the title of the mod (don't need all the other info like poster, views, etc)...i've got that part done...i just can't get it to display the information...

[Xplorer4x4]

Hmm try adding the phrase "$vbphrase[latest_threads]" to your left column. Your custom template is, i assume, is inserted into forum home in order to show on your forum index, so try leaving the hooks alone.

[Staxed]

already tried inserting that...i know how to get it to show (I'm a Designer)...issue is...it will show the titles (Posts, Views, etc) if I put them in...but the second it calls that variable it won't output anything else...and that's where i'm stuck...(I'm NOT a coder...lol)

just one question

how can i remove smilyes and icons, and the thread go to new posts, last page, not first

Smileys will not be parsed. Icons can be removed in the "forumhome_latestthreadbit" template. Simply search for .gif and when you find it you will see it in a code like

Not sure I follow but you want it to go to the last page of any thread listed in the latest threads table? The only way I could think of doing this is simply to have the template edited so when you click a thread name it would go to the last post of the thread instead of the first unread post. Would you be interested in that?

I would like to ad forum title.

Anybody who can tell me how to join forum.title to the following:

SELECT thread.*,thread.iconid AS threadiconid $previewfield, thread.lastposter AS lastposter
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread AS thread
LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(thread.threadid = deletionlog.primaryid AND type = 'thread')
$previewjoin
WHERE open <> 10
AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids)
AND forumid NOT IN (69,22,75)
AND thread.visible = '1'
AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL
ORDER BY lastpost
DESC LIMIT 15");

Installed in my 3.6.4 forum and it seems to be working great. I made some changes to put it in the header and removed some table information.

Hello
Good hack.

Now, when i click on the last post in your hack, i will see the top of the thread (1. post).

But it is possible to see the last post (last answer) when i click on it ?

For those getting errors on search.php, change $lastread with something like $last_read, otherwise you'll get error messages.

This should solve:Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /search.php on line 2179

I am happy to have found this add-on. I am currently using it on my new site http://openfortea.com

However, I'm only able to get it to show on the home page. Why doesn't it show on any of the other pages?

Thanks!

Disregard my question. After reading this thread more carefully I found my answer/solution.

Thanks and sorry for my lazyness.

[amagab]

I know several people before me has asked this question but I couldn't find any answer:

I'd like a link for the user to be taken to the last post in the thread. Actually, I'd like to link the words Last Post: to the last post in the thread.

How can I do that?

Thanks!

[DieselMinded]

I dont think this is right ... $limitfids = x

But I cant get = 'x,x,x,x,' to work either

The only place this edit will work is under the permissions based section of the xml it wont work for me in global ,,, i have $limitfids = 6 and it works but cannot add more than one with out an error

For all those asking how to exclude forums in addition to the permission restrictions inherent in the hack:

In the .xml file, or by editing the Plugin PHP Code (vBoptions/Plug-in Manager/Edit):

FIND:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

Directly below the above, add:

The x's are the forumid's to exclude.

It is possible to added an icon that will take you to the last post in the thread. Also, I'd like the name of the forum to show underneath the thread title.

Can anyone please help me with this.

Thanks!

[amagab]

Oh, one more request if possible but the previous two are more important. I'd like the feature to click down to even older posts like an arrow down just like is used on the latest post module on this site http://www.mylpga.com

Thanks!

[duditas]

Just added to my close protection (http://www.closeprotectionworld.co.uk) forum, works well.

Is it possible to get it to give links with vRewrite (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=182) with search engine friendly links?

[kansei]

I'm pretty new to vB admin stuff and had a question about this hack.

I've seen something similar done before, but in a column on the right in the forum home. I have a right column on my forum home (via another hack) and just figured I could paste the template edit that this hack called for into that template, but no this does not work at all.

any guidance? I can give you any information needed (copy and paste of template files or whatever)

thanks in advance!

oh the site is www.themazdaforum.com if you wanted to see what is going on right now.

Edit: I hacked up the part you are supposed to paste into FORUMHOME such that it fits into the right column template. Still nothing appears. It is as if <if condition="$show['latestthreads']"> is returning false so it just isn't processing anything. Is that a var I have to set somewhere?

I'm such a n00b with this stuff :P

[pdhaudio83]

bump?

[asasi]

Hi
I saw on a forum home page that two copies of this hack was working.
There was two columns . one of them show latest posts on some forums (for example download forums) and another one shows all other new posts (on all other forums)

How can I do this?
thanks
