[FREE] Display latest topics from all boards

[Guillelmus]

Message:
I'm looking for a mod that would allow me to display recent messages from all categories just like the messages are displayed on the unread view. I know something similar to this is achiavable by using SSI functions, but I'd like to have a page that follows the theme of the forum.

Version:
SMF 2.0

Description:
Creates a link Show all recent topics on the index page. When clicked, new page similar to the Show unread messages page opens displaying last 50 topics from all boards.


Permissions:
A feature for all members.

Feature Set:
Shows a page exactly similar to the index.php?action=unread including not only the unread topics, but all the latest active topics.

Most of the portals have a pre-configured block to do exactly that.


At least, Simple Portal sure does.

Thank you for your answer! I am aware of this. My problem however is that I'm not using a portal software and I'm not planning on implementing one at this point. It would be so nice to have this feature included in the ordinary forum interface.

I wonder if getting a portal and looking at the code for the block would help you achieve that...?

It could be done using the SSI as the portals do, but the formatting would be different.

The code for fetching unread topics is in Recent.php. This mod could be done by altering just a little that code to include not only unread posts, but all posts.

Let's hope that someone can help you out, then.
