Hello, thanks for the mod. One question, if I only want to use the recent topic, how can I do it?



It happens that I would like to use only that part, but when I urge it, it modifies my entire menu of categories and others... Thanks!

Pipke

@Matias- The mod is not intended to function that it only shows the recent topics on the boardindex, that's why its called recent topics on the boardindex ;), however it should be possible, ill take a look when i have time how it can be easy achieved.

It would be nice since there is no day of date a "recent topics" that can be put in the boardindex.

I add: It would also be very useful to have compatibility with the prefix mod: https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=4038

Thank you!

Looks nice! Any idea why I'm getting "file not found" in the two "extract tree" steps for ./Themes and ./Sources? Naturally, these paths are there, above the Packages dir.

@Matias- I'm not going to implement the option to hide the board structure/categories so that it shows only the recent topics in the mod, if I did... the way to use the filter options will lose its function and that is not the purpose for which I built the mod.

I'll just explain how you can achieve this with these edits, but it's not recommended to do so... it's entirely up to you. First you should set the user options like you want it, you'and other users can't change it later anymore trough the menu after the edits, because it gets removed!

in Sources/RecentTopicsBoardIndex.php
Code (find) Select
// Fire it up ;)
loadTemplate('RecentTopicsBoardIndex', 'RecentTopicsBoardIndex'); #template, css
Code ("add after") Select
$rtbi['options']['align'] = 'top';
$rtbi['quickbuttons'] = array(); 
unset($context['rtbi_buttons']['applyfilter']);

in {your_theme}/RecentTopicsBoardIndex.template.php
Code (find) Select
// Disable smf default mark read button
$context['mark_read_button'] = array();
Code ("add after") Select
$context['categories'] = array();

Not much to explain unfortunately, these errors just come up and reported by smf when trying to install the mod. Installation stops with those 2 errors... 😐

Can you install other mods without errors, if so it looks like the file you downloaded as the mod is fault, try to download a new one, and see how that goes.

Thanks for your answer, I was able to do it but now my categories are not visible... What could it be?

Maybe because of my bad English it was misunderstood.

What I want is to use the "recent topics" part and for everything else to be seen by default.

For example:

-Box Shoutbox
-Box Recent Topics
- Categories
- Etc...

All by default.

@Matias- I'll put it in ideas for the next update to add that option.

Excellent, a mod to see recent topics would be nice.

I would add the option to view the prefixes of the mod that already exists.

I thought about it for a while, you can keep the boards hidden by clicking on the arrow up/down behind the category name, this way the boards are also hidden ;) much easier.

What do you mean exaclty, as it is now the mod does that... or do i don't understand you correctly?
