#68 Combined forum display
I was hacking about with the code in Runtime.php and
Manager.php to place the 'show latest posts' code below the list of
forums.
Just take the code that creates the block and stick it in the end of
the _list() function, more or less.
This gives a rough approximation of a feature of one of my
favourite bits of forum software... See http://www.minibb.net/
forums/
That has the Forum list at the top, latest posts below from all the
forums combined but with an icon differentiating them. It's a nice
start page for a forum as you can see what's just been posted
across the whole board.
Anyway, obviously we'd need to style it in a proper table with a
template but hack the code in and give it a try yourself. I find it
quick to use and stops the forum list from just being a list of
forums with little changing.
It's not a bad way to almost negate the need for tracking new
posts since the last visit too.
