Great, but can you add the Latest Posts config values into adminpanel, to change values over adminpanel?

[naushadhassam]

great mod but is there a limit on how many posts we want to have?

so example you can see 10 recent posts

if we edit

Code: Select all

$LP_NUM_TOPICS_IN_ACOL = 10;

to

Code: Select all

$LP_NUM_TOPICS_IN_ACOL = 100;

this will basially fill in all of the index page with 100 topics, posts of the board :S

I think that is in your control

[spongejohn]

Nice mod, thanks! Only thing is that is also shows posts made in forums a user should not be able to see. Any way I could fix that quickly?

[stanleyd]

The thing didn't work, having purged the cache, but later I purged the cache again, and it worked okay.

[stanleyd]

I only want one column with the 10 most recent posts. That was easy to achieve.
But I'd like to include the date of the last post, as well as the name of whoever made the last post in the topic. Would that be a difficult modification to do?

[babywon]

if after installed it saw like messy stuff, just go to acp->style-> and refresh those style structure, .....sorry i dont have english in my phpbb3. may be i call it wrong...

and by the way, how to center the header of the latestpost...?

[necer_cheniki]

it is verry good Mod but i hope to add more thinks in the table like last 5 registers and active members and active topics and ....

[Hatake Ryuuzaki]

I want to show the latest posts in my site, but no in the top of my forum, Can you explain how to do it?

Thanks,

[DBM]

tuannq, I have this up and running on my forum and it's working perfectly. It was one of the easiest mods I've had to install too. Excellent work.

[rajshar]

i did everything and it works fine but i didnt get da part where u have to enter forum ID....how do u know what are da forum ID's ...cud u explain me tht part again...
thnks

it wud also be gud instead of manually editing files..you cud make a module for it in admin cp..

[nguyencongminh]
