Small Scrolling Latest Posts Module

[Girlonthehill]

I have searched everywhere I can think of for something that I can use to achieve this. I just want a small module that displays a scrolling list (scroll upwards) of recent posts on my CMPS home page. I have tried the 'NLP Advanced Last X threads in Marquee JS' that I had on my old 3.6 board but it breaks my board completely now I am on 3.7.1, I think it has something to do with the special skin we have. It will not work at all.

So, if anyone has any ideas or can come up with something, I'd be very grateful.

Okay, I found this, posted in your archive by BoNfiRe:



Simply replace your current adv_portal_lasttopics template with this one:

<!-- Latest Threads -->

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] <span class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[latest_forum_topics]</strong></span></strong></span></td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" width="100%">
<A name="scrollingCode"></A><MARQUEE behavior="scroll" align="center" direction="up" height="220" scrollamount="2" scrolldelay="20" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<if condition="$mods['modcol'] == 0">
<tr> <if condition="$vba_options['portal_threads_showicon']">
<td class="thead" width="5">&nbsp;</td>
</if>
<td class="thead" width="100%"><span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[title_username_date]</span></td>
<if condition="$show['lastpost']">
<td align="center" class="thead" nowrap="nowrap" width="25%"><span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[last_post]</span></td>
</if>
<td class="thead" width="15"><span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[replies]</span></td>
<td class="thead" width="15"><span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[views]</span></td>
<if condition="$vba_options['portal_threads_showforum']">
<td align="center" class="thead" width="10%"><span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[forum]</span></td>
</if> </tr>
</if>$threadbits
</table>
</MARQUEE>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />

<!-- End Latest Threads -->

That's great and I'd like to try this instead of the recent threads module but I have no clue where to try this out. I had a look at the recent threads module but it uses three different templates:

adv_portal_recthreads_lean
adv_portal_recthreads_exp
adv_portal_recthreads_exp_head

Could I use this new found template for this purpose and if you think I can, which template do I replace the code in?
