Related Error messages: I have recently moved hosts. Updated TinyPortal and SMF. I noticed the the following field in TinyPortal still has the old host's path listed. Path where TinyPortal images are uploaded to on your server.
So prior to updating TinyPortal I went to update this field with the correct new path and got an error. The error still happens after updating TinyPortal as well.

Hi. Me again. I'm using the recent topics block on my forum. It not only shows the recent topics, but also all new posts as well. So if someone posts on a topic that is months old, it shows up in the recent topics list. That's not really a problem, but is there a way to set up a block that ONLY shows recent topics and not recent posts?

Like I said, not a big deal. I kind of worked around it by using an rss feed that only picks up new topics.

I hate cats...

I'll give you my cat if you can add the option to have the frontpage topics show horizontal instead of vertical  .

In Tinyportal 3.0.4 these options are added now...

You cannot view this attachment.

After your question I was looking into this functionality and noticed that there is very limited control on the layout for these topics on the frontpage.

I may add some options for this in the Frontpage settings in the next version

Awesome! Thanks so much @rjen.

And to get rid of the comments sections...

File TPsubs.template.php

find

function article_boardnews($render = true)
{
global $context, $scripturl, $txt;

if (!isset($context['TPortal']['article']['replies'])) {
return;
}
and change to

function article_boardnews($render = true)
{
global $context, $scripturl, $txt;

// if (!isset($context['TPortal']['article']['replies'])) {
return;
// }
return;

This is not configurable. The only way to remove those fields for forum posts on the frontpage is to make code changes to file Article.php

This will get rid of the "views"
File: \TinyPortal\Article.php

Find
              if (!isset($context['TPortal']['frontpage_visopts'])) {
                    $context['TPortal']['frontpage_visopts'] = 'date,title,author,views' . ($context['TPortal']['forumposts_avatar'] == 1 ? ',avatar' : '');
                }
and change to

                if (!isset($context['TPortal']['frontpage_visopts'])) {
                    $context['TPortal']['frontpage_visopts'] = 'date,title,author' . ($context['TPortal']['forumposts_avatar'] == 1 ? ',avatar' : '');
                }
