I have enabled recent post option for my SMF 2.0.2 which show 8 recent post at my forum index page.
I want to show the same on topic page as well, but could not find any mod for this. I've seen several forum where recent post are displayed at topic page as well.
I'm new to PHP, so help is requested.
You might want to check out Simple Portal. It has just that and a few other handy things.
http://www.simpleportal.net/
Scroll down on the home page, and you'll see the 'Recent topics' block. That can be added to take the place of the 'Recent posts' block (which you can see on the left of the page) and that block is visible everywhere.

Yes I've seen this in Simple Portal, but at this moment I dont to install the portal for sake of recent post only. There must be some other way like changing any source file
No more reply :(

I dont want to remove the SMF copyright, the above image is just to illustrate my point...
Oh you will need to manually edit your template files. I will make the edit for you when I have some free time tonight.
okies... waiting :)
BUMP :D
Bump again ;D
Sorry about that. Forgot to take a look a look at this for you. This might be best done by a customizer though.

customizer means mod? I didn't find any mod except portal... and I dont want to install portal... :(
A Customizer is a member of the SMF team who specialises in coding and mods.
ok... waiting for a customizer to response.. :)
Well, what I can tell you is that it would actually make your forum quite a bit slower to put that on every page since it's not possible to cleanly or easily cache it... still interested?
Yes :)
Hello Again,
Just inquiring to see if you have heard anything back from Paypal yet.

Sorry could not contact them yet due to office work load..

OK, I don't think I made myself clear.
Turning off the list of recent posts like that is already suggested for performance - and it's only on the board index. Turning it on for all the other places is a MAJOR PERFORMANCE PROBLEM. It will REALLY slow your forum down.

I understand... but I really wish to give it a try... I've seen atleast 12 SMF based forum with recent post on topic pages as well... and atleast 4 of them are on shared hosting...
Don't dismiss Simpleportal as someone suggested above. You could implement only the Recent Posts module and not use the rest, plus you could choose to place it where you want. It would save you messing with the code in your template.
However, I would agree with Arantor that it has the potential of seriously diminishing the performance of your forum. Plus you'll probably get complaints from your host that you are taking up too much shared resources.
It's a slow query, there is no way you can make it faster - and after a fashion it will make things slower. Sure it runs on shared hosting - but it means you hit the host limits (and have to pay more) sooner.
