This modification moved only recent posts from bottom to the top under news fader. You shout turn on the news fad to appear it.
In the version 1.1 you are not need to turn on news fad, recent posts above news fad table. if you do not want news fad use version 1.1.
For other themes, find boardindex.template.php and do it manual see install file

Hi,
If you have fail to install that mean your default/BoardIndex.template.php has been modified. You can install new SMF to check first. If you have modified your boardIndex.php, you can see the install file to do it by manual. Good luck.

This is a great mod... but I'd like to make it collapsible for board members who would rather not see it.

Is there any way we can have it collapsible (and have the forum remember if a particular member has it collapsible)?

I'm using the default theme.

Are the recents posts visible only on the front page or are they also visible when the user is reading a thread ?
Title: Re: Move recent posts to the top
Post by: YCW_jkt on February 28, 2008, 09:42:06 PM
Only on the front page.

Any thoughts on my collapsible question?

Whel This is an Super MOD. It works perfect. I have a question. Is it posible to display the blok on the frontpage in a centered PHP blok?. Or with some SSI calling. I use TinyPortal v0.9.8 - SMF 1.1.4. Please advice me.

Tiny portal has the option for center blocks, if i'm not mistaken Tinyportal has option for recent posts block which you can place in the center

@primetime, I figured it out!
I use silent wave too...a personally modded version of it...but in any case it should work for yours too...
I use smf version 1.1.11 but theoretical this should work on any supporting version.
To be honest I was sitting in the bathroom being disappointed that this mod did not work on silent wave...
Then I remembered that the silent wave theme had no coding whatsoever for the recent posts in the index.template file...
I had a though and an idea... what if the silent wave theme was using parts of files from the default theme so theres less coding???
I got what I wanted...

Here's the solution:
Download the right version of the mod for your smf version. Then set the forum theme to the default theme. Install and apply the mod,
then make sure it works. Once you are done and it works on the default theme, switch back to the silent wave theme. That's it. pretty simple and should work

Hope this helps...
