Which is the action for the recent topics?

[aksal]

Any idea which is the action for the most recently updated topics?
I thought it was ?action=recenttopics but it seems that it doesn't work! https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=recenttopics

There is no action out of the box for recent topics; it's not a feature in an unmodified SMF.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Isn't that a portal feature?

[Arantor]

For some portals, maybe, I've long since given up working out which portals have which features.

Ok, I understand. Thank you

I know you marked the topic as solved, but I have to ask. Couldn't be possible a small mod, which only can activate such an action, without having to install portals or full-featured mods. Just like the action=recent to have an action=topics.
It could be very handy!

Maybe creating a php file in your forum root called recenttopics.php and add the following.... Just replace the asterisks with your database name. It can be accessed via yoursite.com/recenttopics.php but you would have to add a link to the user area in index.template.php

Im sure there are other approaches. Hopefully others chime in. 

Replace the 25 with the number of topics you want to show.

This is the laziest form. It uses tables. I dont like it but with some CSS love can be easily achieved.

Just replace the asterisks with your database name.

I'm pretty sure you didn't mean "database"

Hahaha  oops, that what happens when you mix xmas day, drinks and SMF lol.   Too bad i cant edit my post. It seems post editing here on SMF is limited. Lame.

To the OP, replace the asterisks with the access name to your root.
