You have to use at least version 5.1.16 of Phorum.

License:
Free to use, modify, or redistribute this code so long as I am given credit for the original development somewhere. This code comes with absolutly no warranty.
Easy Installation:
1. Unpack the archive.
2. Move the directory "search_hot_topics" to the directory "mods" within your Phorum installation. Don´t change the directory name!
3. If you use a custom template you have to copy the default template directory of this module. For example if your template calls foo you have to copy /mods/search_hot_topics/templates/default (or default2) to /mods/search_hot_topics/templates/foo.
4. To show a link to the search hot topic page, you have to add a new hook:
{HOOK "tpl_add_navigation"}
4a. In version 5.1
Edit list.tpl and list_threads.tpl. Add the above code just behind the •{INCLUDE "loginout_menu"}.
4b. In version 5.2 (new template default2)
Edit header.tpl. Add the above code just before the </form>.
5. To show a search form, you have to add a new hook to search.tpl:
{HOOK "tpl_search_forms"}
For the default template put the hook just before the last </table>. If you are using the new default2 template put the hook before {IF SEARCH->noresults}.
6. Login as administrator in Phorum´s administrative interface and go to the "Modules" section.
7. Enable the module "Search Hot Topics Module".
Advanced installation:
The advanced installation is OPTIONAL.
If you want to use a localised file name for the search hot topics page or get a better ranking in popular search engines, you have to do some ADDITIONAL installation steps:
1. Move search-hot-topics.php to your phorum-directory. Rename the file if you want to use a localised file name.
2. Login as administrator in Phorum´s administrative interface and go to the "Modules" section.
3. Go to settings for the "Search Hot Topics Module".
4. Uncheck "Use module as add-on" and if desired change the file name.
5. Save settings.
Module settings:
1. Use module as add-on
If this option is checked, the module is integrated as an add-on; this is the easiest way to install this module and simplify future updates of this module. Uncheck this option if you want to use a localised file name for the search page or get a better ranking in popular search engines, in this case you have to follow the advanced installation instruction.
The default value is "checked".
2. File name of the search hot topics page
Change the file name if you want to use a localised name. Don´t add the file extension ".php". Take care that you have to change also the file name in the file system!
The default value is "search-hot-topics".
Update from 1.x to 1.3:
Follow easy installation instructions. Additional disable and enable the module once.
Remove obselete files:
- /mods/search_hot_topics/search-hot-topics.tpl
- /mods/search_hot_topics/search-hot-topics-form.tpl
- /mods/search_hot_topics/search-hot-topics-form-header.tpl
- /mods/search_hot_topics/templates/search-hot-topics-form.tpl
- /mods/search_hot_topics/templates/search-hot-topics-form-header.tpl
- /templates/default/search-hot-topics.tpl
- /templates/default/search-hot-topics-form.tpl
- /templates/default/search-hot-topics-form-header.tpl
If you copied this files to your custom template directory, remove them also.
Language support:
This module supports multiple languages.
The following languages are included:
- Englisch
- German (Sie)
- German (Du) male
- German (Du) female
If you want to translate the module to a new language, you´ll have to do the following:
Copy lang/english.php to lang/yourlang.php (yourlang.php must have the same name as Phorum´s main language file that you use). After this, translate the strings in lang/yourlang.php.
If you have created a translation for this module, please post a zip file containing lang/yourlang.php in the
module thread at phorum.org, so the translation can be added to the module package.
Sanity Checks:
If you have problems with this module login as administrator in Phorum´s administrative interface and go to the "System Sanity Checks" section. Check for warnings or errors for the Search Hot Topics Module.
