Recent Topics On "Recent Posts" Page

[Akyhne]

I didn't test it as i understood it would give me something else than I wanted.

Did i get this part wrong? "Please note, that its still just showing a list of the most recent topics, just with the last post instead of the first post, the edit will be slightly different if you want the 'Most Recently Updated topics'. "

[Nathaniel]

No actually I got it wrong.

I actually didn't realise that making such a small edit would do exactly what you want, that edit should make the page into a 'Most Recently Updated Topics' page, although it won't change any of the language strings.

[Akyhne]

It works as it should.
I get one post from each topic now, but the most recent instead of the first (that's the idea with most recent ain't it ).

Thanks a lot. You should concider the option I mentioned to make people being able to change wether they want the first or the latest post shown.

[Nathaniel]

I did have a think about that option when I first created this mod, although I decided that I was too lazy to actually implement it. I might put it in, because its sooo easy, but it will probably wait until I have to update it for the next versions of SMF (whenever they come).

[Akyhne]

I would actually think of keeping the old link and add your mod, so that people had both choices - view recent posts and wiev recent topics.

[Akyhne]

Wouldn't it just be to add 'recent' => array('Recent.php', 'RecentTopics'), in the index.php file and then make a copy of the function
function RecentPosts() and rename it  function RecentTopics(), then call it with a new link in BoardIndex.template.php?

[Nathaniel]

Yes, that should work fine. I gave it a test and it worked well.

[Akyhne]

'recent' => array('Recent.php', 'RecentTopics')
should of course be
'recentTopic' => array('Recent.php', 'RecentTopics')
or similar.

.. or how did you do it?

[Nathaniel]

I just used this code, but 'recentTopic' should work.

Code Select Expand

'recent2' => array('Recent.php', 'RecentTopics')

I just tried this mod, but it gives me the first post in a topic, not the the newest. Isn't that the idea?

What I'm trying to say is that it shows me the most recent topics, but with the first post of the topic and not the newest post.

im using 1.1.6

LHVWB: It worked great for me. I removed your mod and made the changes manually. Are you going to change the mod? I hate making manual changes as it is hard to recover everything when upgrading to 2.0

[Nathaniel]

Well, like I said. When I next upgrade this mod, for SMF version compatibility I will try to remember to add this feature as well.

[gigz09]

anyone can help me? how do i activate this mod? im using 1.1.6 in my site..

@gigz09,
As far as I can see, the mod works fine on your website. Click on the 'View the most recent topics on the forum.' link in the information center at the bottom of your forum and SMF will show you a list of the most recent topics.
