Title: Most recently posted script for vB needed...
Post by: Fineus on July 12, 2002, 07:23:36 am

In accordance with something both Inq and I would like to see I'd like to get hold of a script to show the most recent 5/10 posts on a forum (in vB). Thus people could check out the site and immediately know and link to the most recently modified topics.

If anyone knows of one or something similar (must be for vB) please step forward!

Shouldn't there be a way to do this with the search function? I'm thinking you could do a search for posts from the source code project in the last year, only display the top 5 and output the result to a file that could be imported onto the main page.

EDIT: Settings should be something like this:

Keyword: *
User name:
Forum: The Source Code Project (50)
Posts Wrom: ZLKBRNVW
Results by: Last posting date in descending order

The two problems are that "Keyword" does not accept less than 3 letters/numbers, and that there is no way to easily export the listing given back to a site from the search result. The first should be easy to eliminate by editing the PHP. The second might be harder, but likely not too hard.
