Putting more posts on the recent posts

[wynnyelle]

This thing:

http://warriorcatsrpg.com/recent/

It lists them in pages of 10 but is there a way to put them all on one page, they scroll too quickly to keep track of otherwise. Or is there a way to call up a simple request of the last 100 or 200 posts over the whole forum?

admin -> posts and topics -> topic settings Number of topics per page in the message index
topics Number of posts per page in a topic page might help, but since you rewrite the urls i am unsure of what the url should be to that page or if it is a mod.

That didn't do it. Default number of topics is 50, I am talking about the post stream entitled "most recent posts" located in the info centre. Not any one board's set of topics, or any thread. This is the post stream for the entire site.

This is the link I mean:

http://warriorcatsrpg.com/recent/start,0/

Not a topic, but just gathered up the most recent posts.

I have traced the coding for this function to the file recent.php

Moving on, I've now figured out how to do it, but am wondering now how to limit the viewing of this link to certain member groups only. To avoid overload on the server from loading all those posts.

there are no permissions on that you would need a mod to do that.

What about something like this?  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=433292.0

[Illori]

that is not what they want

[wynnyelle]

no that is not.

I could use the language file to remove the link altogether and then manually post it in the staff area for use in monitoring. but that's just clumsy.

look at the LIMIT in the recent posts call...   check boardindex.template.php (although I think the SQL call was moved to a source directory file in 2.0)

Alrternatively, you could use SSI to build a page with any number of recent posts.
