5 Most recent, popular, discussed !!

[kartik786]

Hey guyz.. Im sure most of you would want this .

I wish to have 5 :: Most Recent , :: Most Popular , :: Most Discussed articles from my forums on sidebar of Vba .

I know i have to create a module but i am not sure what to add in the modules..

:: Most Recent
Would be the most recent threads that are there on the forum

:: Most Popular
Would be the thread with most number of views

:: Most Discussed
Would be the one with most number of replies

:: Recent Attachments
Would be lastest attachments uploaded on the forum .

Any help guyz ?

Admin CP => vBa CMPS => Edit Modules => Recent Threads

Go there, select the 'Copy' option from the Module Tools menu, copy the module, and change your settings accordingly to make your other modules. Though I don't believe there is any type of recent attachments module available at this time.

I looked at that too. Essentially what I think kartik is asking for is something along the lines of what you can find here:

Winning Eleven Homepage (http://www.onlineregister.com/konami/wenation/)

Around the middle there are two modules:

Recent Forum Posts with time filter ~= "Most Recent"
- vBAdvanced can replicate some of this functionality but not all of it without some coding

Most Active Threads with time filter ~= "Most Discussed"
- again vBAdvanced can replicate some of this functionality but not all of it without some coding

The inclusion of a time filter really does help especially with long standing boards and gives newer threads a fighting chance of making it onto the front page.


I've searched but can't find an equivalent module (s)... does anyone know of one?
