CMPS Layout - Help Wanted

[LPH]

Hello,

I updated CMPS and activated it after having it dormant for a few years (www.technologyquestions.com).

The intent is to get a front landing page similar to http://www.streethop.com/ or www.abcnews.com - in which the different communities have blocks that are constantly updated. For example, there is a Tablet PC Community block, and UMPC Community block, Hardware block, etc ... in other words only threads from those forums in certain categories are listed in certain blocks/modules.

Is someone available to help? Please PM with fee request and samples of work.

If this is the wrong place, then please direct me to the proper place to post for this type of help.

You should be able to do that with the current version of the CMPS. Just edit your Recent Threads module, select the option to copy it from the Module Tools section at the top, and then you'll have another copy where you can restrict it to only pull threads from the forums you specify.

Thank you Brian - for moving the thread to the right place and for answering with the information.

I copied the modules, named them, etc. However, my artistic abilities do not do the site justice and so maybe someone is willing to help clean things up.

As a further customization, how can I get just thread titles? I set the 400 to 0 and this removes the limits. I'll read through more threads on this site but hopefully someone will come to my rescue :D

You can turn most of the other things off by modifying the settings for that module. There may be a couple of things that there's not an option for, in which case you would need to edit the adv_portal_latesttopicbits template and wrap an <if condition> that looks something like this around them:

<if condition="$mods['modid'] == 'NEW_RECENT_THREADS_MODID_HERE'"> Code to exclude </if>
