Multi-Functional Posts and Topics Snippet [Version 3.0 out!]

[FlynT]

First of all, i love this Block!!!

But i got a little Question.
I have searched a long Time for a way to Show the Topic Starter instead of the Last Poster, but i also want to show the Last Poster. Is there a way to make it possible in your Block?

Here is a Screen of what i know...



I translate the German Part for you

begonnen von = started by
Letzte Antwort = Last Reply

Hope you know what i mean  :buck2:
Thanks in advanced and keep up the Good work

[kripz]

I have a suggestion. Can you exclude Moved topics?

[panesarv]

Ok one last thing....How can I make the title of the topic bold?

Edit: Got it. Thanks. Great Snippet.

hi panesarv,

how did you make the title of the topic bold?  thanks in advance

Sorry, didn't check this topic. You should have PM'ed me.

This below code will work for sure but it will change the font size. You can play around with the font size or you can try option 2.

Find:

Code Select Expand

echo $i['message']['link'];

Replace:

Code Select Expand

echo '<div style="font-size:13px;">',$i['message']['link'],'</div>';

Option 2:

Find:

Code Select Expand

echo $i['message']['link'];

Replace:

Code Select Expand

echo '<b>>',$i['message']['link'],'</div></b>';

cant you change the colour of scrollbars when using firefox? - is that true

[Dragooon]

I think only IE supports that.

Hi and many congratulations for this great script. I have a little small problem or suggestion.Its depends of modes.
When I am using mode 1 (topics recent), the topics in my bloc appears ordering by the creation day of the topic and not ordering by the last post day within topics. So , if someone makes a post in a topic , nothing its  happens in bloc list of topics. Only if someone make a new topic , this topic is going first.

When I am using mode 2 (post recent), appears one by one all the posts that have been submitted ordering by time/day, even if these are in the same topic.

It is possible with some way/mode to appears the topics list in bloc , not ordering  by the creation day of them , but ordering by the last post time/day in the topics of the specific board , just like they appears in forum boards.

Thank you

P.s I am using V3

Just installed verson 3.00 for SMF 1.1.5 with TP 1.05 Beta1 and it works great when using Firefox 2.0.0.14/Firefox 3.0. However, with Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.5512.xpsp.080413-2111 the block is just that high to show 1 post scrolling. Scrolling is set to auto.
This is de code I added in the PHP box:

What is going wrong or should my current version of IE be upgraded. Tested this on several machines with the same IE version. All show the same problem even with the default Theme of SMF 1.1.5

My website -> http://forum.lum-chan.com/

What to do now?

[edit]
Upgraded to Internet Explorer 7 but it still doesn't show the same way as in Firefox. Other blocks in TP show up correctly.
Tried to move it across the left-block but  this makes no difference sofar...

Hello there, I have a topic rating mod installed in my forum and would it be possible to include the rating of each topic.

Any idea?

[IchBin]

You should ask the author of that mod how it can be included in this block.
