Name of Snippet: Recent POSTS table with hover over previews
SMF/TP versions tested: SMF 1.1.11; TinyPortal v1.0 beta 4
Block Type: PHP
Author: freddy888, mrcare and digger at SMF
Link to Discussion: n/a
Requirements : This block uses the NiceToolTips (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2115) MOD at SMF in combination with the block code below. So you will need to install that mod too in order for this to work.
Note : sometimes bbc code may not be handled correctly - this is something for the NiceToolTips maker to work on - so try requesting that they work on that.
Description: This will show as many recent posts as you decide in a formatted table - note that it will show replies to posts as well as the original.
This code excludes the recycle boards, omits private boards that a user cannot see and uses the NiceToolTips settings to limit the number of characters shown.
