Recent Topics On "Recent Posts" Page

[RickJ]

I installed the Mod to SMF 1.1.9 and nothing has changed.  Any suggestions?  Thank you!

[RickJ]

I hope it's not too early to bump this
Any suggestions for making this mod work on 1.1.9?

[Nathaniel]

Bumping can be good. I don't have much time for support, so I tend to miss posts.

This mod should work for SMF 1.1.9 (and all 1.1.x versions), but I haven't tested it for that specific version.

Can you post a link to your forum?

[RickJ]

Thanks, Nathaniel.  Here it is: http://www.chnetwork.org/forum

We're using the Classic YaBB Theme.

The mod appears to be working as its meant to. Although you could perform the edit under 'Custom Themes Changes' (in the first post of this topic) to change the text string in the information center on your home page.

Your recent page ('http://www.chnetwork.org/forum/recent/') is showing the latest topics, for each topic the first post of that topic is shown.

If you want to show the latest post from each topic, instead of the first post, then read the post below:

Oh, I see now.  I thought that it automatically changed the text string in the information center.  I'm sorry, Nathaniel - for not paying attention closer.  The "Overview" of the mod seems to imply that installing the mod changes the text string without using the Custom Themes Changes. 

Thank you, Nathaniel.

Hello, I'm trying to install this mod and I have some problems.
One could be that I have a romanian language installed and not english. When I try to instal this action:
/Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english-utf8.php  is marked as "skiped file'.
Also, after instaling when clicking on "show most recent posts" it only shows me recent created topics, recent being no more than half a day. Can I make "recent" to be like a day long and also have all topics in which there were added new messages, not only new created topics?
Another question is that if it is possible to have only a list of the new updated topics and the enumeration of the pages 1 2 3... x,  without the last/first post shown.
My theme has a BoardIndex.template.php file, but when I change the code as you say the "'View the most recent posts on the forum.' link on the forum disapears.
If it helps, I have Pretty urls installed.
What is it I do wrong?
Thank you.

Hello Nathaniel,

I'm using your advance recent post mod but the problem is my forum background color is gray and it's make all your recent posts mod title like subject, replies etc cannot been seen. Can you show me how can I change the font color for the recent post mod title.  I attach the picture for your reference.

hmmm suppose its not a good time for me to be asking for help....

I am ideally wanting the most recent topics to show the most recent topics that have been updated (not a post from that topic) so ideally just a list of the latest topics which my members can then click on and it takes them into that topic..... can this be done?

I'd like to second this request.  This mod is almost exactly what I'm looking for, I've got it working on RC2, but if there was a way to have action=recent show only topics, and not show the first post, it would be absolutely perfect.  Is there an easy way to do this?

[Bec]

mikev, i found another mod which gives me exactly what i wanted - http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=654

you can see it in action on my site - {url removed}

[mikev]

I'm running RC2, that mod doesn't work anymore.  Thank you though

[Bec]

you're welcome. just hit them up for an update!

Add the code below into your '/Themes/default/languages/Modifications.romanian.php' file:

Code Select Expand

$txt['RecentTopicsOnRecentPostsPage_actiontitle'] = 'Recent Topics';
$txt['RecentTopicsOnRecentPostsPage_linktext'] = 'View the most recent topics on the forum.';

You will need to translate the 'Recent Topics' and  'View the most recent topics on the forum.' text.

Apologies about the wait, although you should never bump a support request that frequently, once every 24 hrs is more than enough. Do a search for 'RecentTopicsOnRecentPostsPage_linktext' in your '/Themes/{themename}/BoardIndex.template.php' file, you should be able to add the necessary HTML code there, so that the color is correct. If you need help, then attach that file.

Sure it can be done, although that would involve changing the template. Its not something that I intend to add to this mod, I would suggest that you try asking in the Graphics and Templates board, for help with editing the 'Recent.template.php' file.

I'm running RC2, that mod doesn't work anymore.  Thank you though

Ask them to update the mod, not really something that is going to be added to this mod, although you could customize the template, and then get the same effect by using this mod.

v1.1 - 20 November 2009
Added support for SMF 2 RC2.
Added the mode changing setting, and the new "Recently Updated Topics" mode as requested by Akyhne.

I decided to add the feature request from Akyhne, because it was easy and makes the mod more customizable.

I installed this mod without any errors but it's still showing recent posts instead recent topics. SMF 2.0 RC2. Either option on the 2 screen shots below look the same. Recent Posts instead of Recent Topics. Tried emptying SMF cache. Emptied browser cache. No joy.
