Hot Topics This Week

[amykhar]

This is a module based on my 3.5 plugin.

Amy, welcome to vBadvanced. :)

Nice module! :cool:

[Brian]

Thanks for sharing. I was just thinking about adding something like this on my personal site the other day, but was in too lazy of a mood to create it at the time. Glad I waited now. :)

[Borgs8472]

hey amy, I found this post via a site via a pm of yours, I don't suppose you have a version of this for 3.0? :)

[mystifiedLaLa]

Thanks 4 sharing this file!!

[Dorfdad]

how do you install it? I just get a blank page!

[Brian]

Download the file, unzip it, then go to the 'Download / Upload' module section under your vBa CMPS options in your Admin CP and upload the .module file through there.

[FleaBag]

Doesn't seem to be working for me?

[FleaBag]

I went away for the weekend and upon my return it was working. I have no idea why but I'm not complaining. Thanks Amy. :)

[rrokdoka]

Im getting the same thing... nothings showing up .... Do i need to do something else? I followed Brians instructions

[rrokdoka]

[JJR512]

How did you get it to work, can you share for the rest of us?

For the record: vB 3.5.0 Gold, vBadvanced 2.0.0. Everything else working fine. Module uploaded fine. Can edit its settings, it's active. Template is present. But it does not show up on the page. Everything else is there, but not this module.

[azjaguar]

Hi, I dont know if this will help anyone or not - but I also had the problem...I uploaded it fine....was able to edit it as well but there was nothing showing.
=====
I looked at the "Edit Pages" area and had to enable it there and now it is showing up and working fine.

Hope this helps someone :)

[FleaBag]

rrokdoka sorry for not getting back to you... I believe what azjaguar is suggesting may be what you need though - as I remember it, mine did not work and suddenly seemed to... Maybe that is what I did?

[JJR512]

The solution is explained in the thread posted about this at vbulletin.org: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=93613

Basically, don't upload the module, instead install it manually.

[xlegends]

To install the module:
1. Upload hottopics.php to your forums/modules directory.
2. Create a New Module of type phpfile.
Name: Hot Topics This Week
file: hottopics.php
template: adv_portal_hottopics
identifier: ht4468

3. Add the following template:
Name: adv_portal_hottopics
Contents:
<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
$topicstring
</td>
</tr>

[popac]

xlegends are your procedure working ?
I don't understand phase 3 :(
Do you create new file with

<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
$topicstring
</td>
</tr>
or ? Explain please.....tnx

[FleaBag]

Add the template in your Style Manager area of your vB ACP.

[xlegends]

I simply posted the correct instructions from authors readme, her attach is actually missing the correct readme and php file has wrong ext,, see post 16

[MotoUp]

Great module.

What would have to be done to the template in order to make it show more information like the Recent Threads module? How it alternates colors, and shows who the last post was made by, etc?

[Jason McConnell]

My only problem with this is that the links in the module don't link to the threads that they show, they're missing the /forum/ part in the address. What do I edit to include that?

[Collectors]

It works great! Where can I change the font size for the hottopics links?

[MotoUp]

Edit the adv_portal_hottopics template.

[Jason McConnell]

got it figured out, but had to edit the hottopics.php

just added a /forum in front of /showthread :D

[Collectors]

Edit the adv_portal_hottopics template.

Any idea what I have to ad and where?

[MotoUp]

Here is my adv_portal_hottopics template:

<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
<font size=1>$topicstring</font>
</td>
</tr>

[Collectors]

Here is my adv_portal_hottopics template:

<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
<font size=1>$topicstring</font>
</td>
</tr>

Thanks, that worked!

[Flow Fusion]

Works great. Thanks.

[AndyA]

I seem to have a problem, the module show's fine but when I click a thread link I get sent to http://www.throttlejockey.co.uk/showthread.php?t=422 which produces a blank screen.
I think It should be pointing to http://www.throttlejockey.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=422

[uae-style]

Hi,

Guys, how do you suggest I edit this to make it only show the hottopics that were CREATED in the past week?
I don't want hottopics from the stone age to show in the list. :p

I am guessing I have to play around with this query (from forums/modules/hottopics.php):


$hottopics = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread WHERE lastpost > $datecut AND forumid IN (". implode(',', $forumchoice) . ") AND open=1 ORDER BY replycount DESC LIMIT 10");

Thanks.

[cmiller1014]

Where can I get the actual php file? The module installed, but now the php file is under weird ownership on the server and I cant do anything with it. I want to some how change the number of posts that are shown, and also change how the posts are selected like the user above stated.

If someone could help me get the php file, it would be much appreciated!

[Wachtmeister]

To install the module:
1. Upload hottopics.php to your forums/modules directory.


Where do i find hottopics.php ? I just have one .module file into the zip at the beginning of this thread...

[ge66]

If I understand this correctly, this will show threads that has the most replies and that has had replies in the last week.

If I instead wanted only threads started the last week with the most replies or maybe most views or some sort of combination, is this easy?

[lsgworldl]

where is hottopics.php???

[Paulo]

Here is my adv_portal_hottopics template:

<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
<font size=1>$topicstring</font>
</td>
</tr>

Thank you, but is not valid for XHTML 1.0.

Any other solution?

[Paulo]

No other solution for change font size valide xhtml?

thank you

[iguanairs]

Hello,

To make that valid xhtml, create a new span class in your style and then wrap the "$topicstring".

It will look like this:

<span class="class_name_you_created">$topicstring</span>

Here is a quick class to add:

.smallerfont
{
font: 9px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

[Paulo]

Yes ! it's perfect thank you :)

<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
<span class="smallerfont">$topicstring</span>
</td>
</tr>

In Css:
.smallerfont { font: 11px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}

Good

[pointguardu]

check out my site:

www.pointGuardU.com

the links don't pull up the vB forum folder. How do I tell it to do this?

[phoenixdown]

Does this work with the latest cmps? thanks/!

[cmiller1014]

is there some area on the site that I am missing that has WORKING modules? This site seems to be a royal mess with people posting and reposting things that do not even work and they are left up so people have the same problems over and over.

Thanks in advance.

[urml]

[michaelsilvia]

[Dr.MinD]

[Velas]

[Amigos]

Nice Hack
How is it possible to exclude a forum from the module ?
