all i'm saying is a list of the newest posts chronologically across all forums you are allowed to read is a very cool feature.

it's my number 1 most active page on my site and i have a feeling would do it's share to expand the phorum5 user base if this were in the features list.

that is all.

happy new year.

Does this add-on work with virtual roots?

For some reason it seems to come up empty if it is in a virtual root.

strange behaviour i have noticed with this..

when I merge 2 threads every post in those threads are suddenly included at the top of the newest no matter how old the posts are.

the addon either shows messages from *all* forums or from a given forum.
there's no support to show only the ones from a vroot.

the merged threads "issue" is not related to this addon, its coming from the way phorum handles merges - it adds new messages for that - and therefore they show on top.

ah i see. do you think this behaviour is something that should be corrected? it's a little misleading when users come to the site and check the "newest" page and see the moderators attempts to tidy up by grouping some threads this way..

Hi,

I downloaded newest.zip and followed all the intructions contained in the readme.txt file.

Maurice, you mention that it is necessary to modify index.tpl but I cannot locate the file in /templates/default/

The only ressembling files i got are :
index_classic.tpl
index_new.tpl

And I'm on Phorum 5.1.

Thanks, I would like to make the MOD work asap.

Regards,
Constantin.

Change index_new.tpl. That is probably the index template that you are using right now.

FYI, I'm using Newest11 in my Drupal 4.7/phorum 5.1.22 embedded forum. I had to make some minor changes in newest11.tpl.

Essentially I removed the .php on the links to the Show 20/50/100. Drupal didn't care for that, or else it's because I'm using clean URLs. Also the primary link to newest11.php is just newest11, for the same reasons stated above.

I also removed the navigation links since they were redundant or unnecessary.
