Mod Name: Active Topics for Threads<br />Version 1.0<br />Credits: JustDave and the YASM Modification and ExtremeBikini for the alt tag preview<br />Description : This Modification adds an active topic like Ubb.Classic, displaying the latest 25 posts, it's a link in the main menu.<br /><br />Working Under: 6.2.3<br />Demo : here <br /><br />Files Altered: <br />ubbt_registerednav.tmpl.<br /><br />New Files:<br />dosearchlatest.php<br />dosearchlatest.tmpl<br /><br />Database Altered : No<br /><br />Disclaimer:<br />Please make a backup of your files and database before doing any code modifying.

Yeah, how bout' someone that knows more about it tell me!<br /><br />lmao! I'm hoping people that are good with these can look over it and either change it or tell me what to change. <br /><br />Though, all it really is is using JustDave's Search Hack, and ExtremeBikini's Hover over and get topic..... So, if those are both used here, I can't imagine it's that many extra queries. <br /><br /><br />-peter
Well done! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />*Dal adds this one to his "to do" list for Da LAN Tech <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> *
Yeah, you have to copy and paste the contents of your dosearch.php file, and put it in there. Then, you modify that file .... <br /> <br /> <br />I explained it in the instructions, but may have not been clear. <br /> <br /> <br />Should I explain more? <br /> <br />(Basically, you create dosearchlatest.php by modifying dosearch.php, but dosearch.php is left intact and original, so technically you're adding files and really only touch the ubbt code by changing the registerednav template.) <br /> <br /> <br />-peter
You might want to include that in your instructions and leave out the zero length file <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I figured out what you were trying to do in the template and I modified your template to use the existing variables in the dosearch.php file (so there is no need to edit the dosearch.php). <br /><br />In your template you had:<br /><br />
Code:
{$postrow[$i]['Body']}
<br /><br />I replaced it with:<br /><br />
Code:
{$searchrow[$i]['Alt']}
<br /><br />You can see the results here <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I created a copy of dosearch.php and named it dabuzz.php because I thought I might have to change the way dosearch.php works, but it wasn't necessary. The only advantage I have with the new file is calling the new template.<br /><br />You might be able to reduce this hack to just a template <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Okay, so I just tried what you said... <br /><br />Did you get this to work with an unhacked copy of dosearch.php, just renamed ? <br /><br />Cause, I just tried it and didn't get it to work. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I guess I'm just unclear about how to get this down to just the template.... I really just played around with JustDaves YASM and ExtremeBikini's mod, so I don't know that I completely get what it's doing. lol. What I did was get it to work, and I was happy with that. LOL. But, if you've got an easier way please help!<br /><br />(Also, the instructions did include the bit about copy/pasting into the blank file....)<br /><br />-peter<br /><br />
I have YASM installed <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I saw the blank file, skipped the instructions, and rewrote the template <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
LMAO!<br /><br />Okay, so should I just redo it by including your template change and preface it by saying you should install YASM first?<br /><br />So basically, instructions will read to install YASM, upload template, and then insert the line in the registerednav template?<br /><br />-peter
I got it up and running ... nice one thanks. I followed your instructions and copied the entire file over. I already had the yasm installed so had to use partial strings to locate some replace strings. <br /><br />Nice work I really missed the old Active Topics.
I can't take credit for this one since a lot of people put some real time and effort into making it work <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I've attached a template that I modified for this hack to clean up some of the html.
I am using it since a few minutes and really like it.<br />Would be nice if the amount of last topics that will be shown could be set in the admin menu. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
