I actually encounter the same issue as the poster above. I just started my forum, (SMF 1.14, and TP.098) and at the time I tried tp install this; all tests and everything went well and I got no error messages. I was using the default 'core' theme, and the install didn't change either the look or the functionality stated for this mod. I tried an unistall, deletion, re-download-re-up, etc.., with the same results.

I have no idea why or what happened?

Same here. I installed, everything went fine, no errors, successfully installed, but there was no change to my recent post area (and yes, I have it set to show the last five). The area is there and functioning as it always has, but the mod made no change at all on any of the three skins that I use.

EDIT: I downloaded the most recent version if that helps.

[Trinny]

mmm update. I removed the package and manually installed and it works perfectly. great mod Marook.

Marook, good thing! but what about exluding some boards from recents? for example: add one setting near your mod switch "Excluding Boards ID list by comma: " and admin may hide some unused boards (spam or technical or not hottest). default is nothings, but in code need add recycle bin ID, if have. or may be you know where may input exclude boards?

Ok, Marook, thank you, excelent MOD.

Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.

I have the exact same error as above;

1.    Execute Modification    ./Sources/Recent.php    Test failed
2.    Execute Modification    ./Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php    Test successful
3.    Execute Modification    ./Sources/ModSettings.php    Test successful
4.    Execute Modification    ./Themes/default/languages/ModSettings.english.php    Test successful

I have gone ahead and installed the mod fine but Replies and Views (statistics) are not showing in recent posts which is a shame as the mod is just what I'm looking for. Could anyone help please?

I have attached Recent.php if anyone has time to have a look. I have too many mods installed to list which is obviously why this mod has not installed cleanly in Recent.php but all work well with each other at the moment.

Kind Regards
Tim.

Uninstall the membercolor mod and retry installing the adv. recent posts mod... after success you can try to reinstall the membercolor mod.

[Spudgun]

Firstly Marook, thanks very much for trying to help, I appreciate this a great deal

I have uninstalled the membercolor mod and this mod. I then installed this mod but was still getting.

1.    Execute Modification    ./Sources/Recent.php    Test failed
2.    Execute Modification    ./Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php    Test successful
3.    Execute Modification    ./Sources/ModSettings.php    Test successful
4.    Execute Modification    ./Themes/default/languages/ModSettings.english.php    Test successful

I went ahead again and installed the mod regardless then went into admin panel - Forum Maintenance and clicked 'recount all forum totals and statistics'. Still no joy, but as I say thankyou, very kind of you to help.

I have attached Recent.php again with the membercolor mod removed (If uninstalling the mod did indeed remove the code?)

Thanks again
Tim

[Marook]

The membercolor mod code was removed but the changes of my mod aren't removed. Thats the reason why you can't install it. If you have't installed any other mods which are altering the recent.php, delete it and take a fresh one. Or just take this one attached... if you have installed other mods i'll have to install it manually for you..

[Spudgun]

Fantastic!

I used the one that you altered and attached and it worked perfectly!

Thank you so much for your help and all you do here. I know from reading forum posts that you guys get very little thanks for the great (unpaid) work you do.

Kind Regards and thanks again.

Tim.
