Content of the latest posts

[qu3ll0]

Thank you very much for this mod.

It is almost what I was looking for since a long time.

However, I need to take content of latest topics (not posts). Can you please tell me if your mod is able to do that?

Thanks!!!

[davidhs]

This MOD only can take content of posts, but if you write

Maximum number of posts by topic = 1

only take content of 1 post by topic (similar to content of topic).

Great! Thank you!

This MOD does not add tab in menu.

If you create a predefined list (for example #1), you can write in a post

Code Select Expand

[contentlatest predefined=1][/contentlatest]

[searchgr]

So how does the unread posts appear? I don't see them around

I suppose you want to create a list with the unread post.
You can use BBC and several parameters, without create predefined list.
unread:
- unread=new search content in recent unread topics,
- unread=all search content in all unread topics.
For example, this

Code Select Expand

[contentlatest type=subject boards=all age=100 unread=new][/contentlatest]
creates a list of subjects of recent unread post posted on last 100 days in all boards.

Or you can create default parameters:
- Content type: Subject.
- Boards: All.
- Maximum age: 100 days.
- Only unread posts: Recent unread topics.
and write:

Code Select Expand

[contentlatest][/contentlatest]

Or can create a predefined list (i.e. #1) with parameters:
- Content type: Subject.
- Boards: All.
- Maximum age: 100 days.
- Only unread posts: Recent unread topics.
and write:

Code Select Expand

[contentlatest predefined=1][/contentlatest]

OK, maybe I am dense... but how does this mod work? 
I've been to Admin > Configuration > Modification Settings > Content of the latest posts

I set it up to expand everything in all forums... pretty much the defaults, and saved it.  Nothing in the forum changes.  Is there more that has to be done?

I was hoping this mod would allow users to see an expanded view of posts in a forum, so they didn't have to click so much.  Like an expanded tree.  Is that not what this does?  I find it very confusing, so any help would be appreciated.

This mod does not.

You can create a list with content of last messages posted
1. Create a predefined list (I suppouse #1)
2. Create a topic with this text

Code Select Expand

[contentlatest predefined=1]text[/contentlatest]

Ok, this MOD probably is what I am looking for.

But how can I add a index, like the last screenshot?
