Recent Forum Topics on Boardindex For 2.0.x

[DreadPirateRoberts]

I just saw the above post. Is there a way to have the recent topics to be only from one specific board?

This mod was not built for that, but it can be done with some tweaks, maybe some one can help you, i dont have time for that atm.

[DreadPirateRoberts]

See I think it has to do something with this piece of code but whertime I put in my board ID nothing changes. Can anyone please help me
RecentForumTopics.php

Code Select Expand

),
        'board' => array(
            'id' => $row['id_board'],
            'name' => $row['bname'],
            'href' => $scripturl . '?board=' . $row['id_board'] . '.0',
            'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?board=' . $row['id_board'] . '.0">' . $row['bname'] . '</a>'
        ),

ohh i just remind me i made this some time ago, its a not finished updated version of this mod, but should work for you, take a look here for download -> https://www.smfhacks.com/index.php?topic=9199.0

[DreadPirateRoberts]

Would I need to uninstall the current mod and install this one?

yep, even better is to install the updated extended version in (see) the attachment of this post wich i found on my old usb stick

note: be aware of bugs that you may encounter!

[DreadPirateRoberts]

Hey thanks @Pipke I'll try the new mod!

[Diego Andrés]

Quick question.
Selecting to use the first post (topic) will still sort the list depending on most recent activity, right?

I dont understand what youre trying to ask

[FishingManMatt]

As always, thank you very much for the mod, Pipke!

Let me report two issues I noticed after installing the latest version.

1.
The W3C validator shows errors related to the last column of the table. The number of errors matches the number of last topics in the table.

Code Select Expand

end tag for element "span" which is not open
...u=3556">Shreku82</a> <br /> on <strong>Today</strong> at 06:54</span>

2.
My TapaTalk plugin stopped working. Users of the TT plugin report the following error:

Code Select Expand

Server error occurred: Cannot redeclare rft_mainbasic() (previously declared in /home/admin/domains/splawikigrunt.pl/public_html/forum/mobiquo/env_setting.php(55) : eval()d code:1) (RecentForumTopics.php:26)

Thank you for your support!

thx for finding that...
in RecentForumTopics.template.php

Code (find) Select Expand


echo'', $txt['by'], ' ', $post['poster']['link'], ' <br /> ', $txt['on'], ' ', $post['timefirst'], '</span>


and remove the closing </span> tag, so it becomes:

Code ( replace by) Select Expand


echo'', $txt['by'], ' ', $post['poster']['link'], ' <br /> ', $txt['on'], ' ', $post['timefirst'], '

we have many issues with tapatalk and don't recommend anyone using it.

first off i dont use tapatalk nor have it installed to debug it, so sorry i will not help you with that, you could try to ask support on the tapatalk website.

[FishingManMatt]

Thanks a lot, Pipke!

Frankly, I hate TT. This plugin always caused some problems. I only kept it installed because of my users' requests.

As for the HTML errors, I found two more which may also be related to the RFT mod.

Code Select Expand

document type does not allow element "div" here
<div class="pagesection">


Code Select Expand

end tag for element "li" which is not open
<ul class="reset"></li>

this mod was made by me when i just started php lol, the whole template file needs a rewrite.. ill get back to that later.

[FishingManMatt]

I see  No problem. No rush

Hi, I uninstalled an old version of this mod and installed the one from the main mod page (1.2).  Everything reported that it installed OK but now there is no settings page under "Modification Settings". So no way to enable it ? Forum is a stock curve theme with almost no mods (only resize pics mod).

Any suggestions?

[EthanR]

EDIT: I have abandoned the 1.2 version and installed the Extended version linked earlier. It seems to be a lot nicer but it's a little broken on mobile. This is on a standard install, curve theme with responsive mod.

Any tweaks I can do to make it look better on mobile?

do you use the default forum theme? if not then tell me wich theme you use and where i can download it or you can tell me your forum url and ill take a peak to see whats going on wich goes faster

[EthanR]

Hi Pipke, yes the default forum theme them (Curve) with no mods. On mobile the recent topics looks odd, not all the space is used. I have PM'ed you my forum URL, thanks!

Edit: Also, is it possible to remove the 2 icons to the left of each topic in the list? See screenshot:

good luck with the edits.

  Very impressed with your skills, it looks very nice now 

It look much better on mobile now -  just one thing, once you're logged in the burger menu to the right of the subject squeezes everything. Can that menu be removed or pushed all they way right? I attached a screenshot:
