--- Code: ---[contentlatest predefined=... type=... boards=... child_boards=... group=... boards_link=... number_by_group=... number_by_topic=... age=... unread=... date=... sticky=... locked=...]text[/contentlatest]
--- End code ---

Parameters, all optional, are:

* predefined: Predefined list number. Permitted values: 1 to 5.
* type: Type of content. Permitted values: all (all), post (post), subject (subject), attachment (attachments), link (links), elink (eLinks), image (images).
* boards: Boards. Permitted values: Comma separated boards numbers or all (all).
* child_boards: Include child boards. Permitted values: empty or 0 (not include), number (maximum level to be included), all (all levels).
* group: Group posts by board. Permitted values: yes (yes), no (no).
* boards_link: Links to boards. Permitted values: all (yes, all), parent (yes, only last level), no (no).
* number_by_group: Maximum number of posts by group. Permitted values: empty, 0 or all (unlimited), number (maximum number).
* number_by_topic: Maximum number of posts by topic. Permitted values: empty, 0 or all (unlimited), number (maximum number).

If any parameter not exists the value used is the value of predefined list or, if not exists, the default value, both defined in the administration panel.

The text between contentlatest begin and end tags is the title of the list. If text begins with "http://" is supposed to be the URL of an image. When you have set the header of the list, this text replaces the {TITLE} tag, if exists.

Kreator:
Hmm, I assume you stick the bbc code into a post... only I just get the bbc tag returned each time I post it, as follows

[contentlatest predefined=all type=all boards=all boards_link=all age=60 date=modify sticky=all locked=all]LATEST CONTENT[/contentlatest]

so whats happening? checked that there is a bb code for contentlatest in ACP

davidhs:
This happens because the value of the parameter "predefined" is wrong (only can take 1 to 5).

--- Quote from: davidhs on May 26, 2010, 01:15:53 AM ---Parameters, all optional, are:

* predefined: Predefined list number. Permitted values: 1 to 5.[...]
--- End quote ---

But in your case does not have to use this parameter. Write only:

--- Code: ---[contentlatest type=all boards=all boards_link=all age=60 date=modify sticky=all locked=all]LATEST CONTENT[/contentlatest]
--- End code ---
Because the default values of the pameters this is equivalent:

--- Code: ---[contentlatest boards=all age=60 date=modify]LATEST CONTENT[/contentlatest]
--- End code ---
Both shows list of all posts (text and attachment of each post), in all boards, with link in all navegation tree, modified in the last 60 days, sticky or non-sticky, and locked or unlocked.

Use the parameter "predefined" only in you define a predefined list in administration panel.
