Recent Threads on sidebar?

[viperthecursed]

Not sure how to enable this, or if it even exists on proboards.  What I am looking for is something that goes on the side bar, that can say when a response is made, and when a new thread is made.  This way my members do not have to camp their thread and hit F5 to see if they have a responce, and important notices can be seen when they are posted.  I know a section of the forum exists by adding /threads/recent to your forums main url, not sure if I can get a mini one to be on the side bar.

I know they had one on Forumotion which I used to host from before, below is a screen shot of theirs so it is clear what I am looking for.

Currently I am using the Sidebar Redux plugin if that would help me put it up.

viperthecursed,

are you using V5? Anyways, there is a 'Participated' button up on the top right of your forum, right under the Login/Logout button. It's where you can see if a thread you participated in has been updated. To see overall new threads and post even in threads you haven't participated in, you can scroll down on the homepage. In the Forum Info & Statistics section, you can find a Recent Threads and a Recent Posts link.

Yes, I am using V5. I know about the separate pages, but I was wanting something global that is always displayed on the side bar for member convenience. Is that possible at all on Proboards?

viperthecursed, oh, I see! I would know how to add the last updated post link & last updated thread link to a sidebar, but not how to add an entire list to look at.

[viperthecursed]

Well how do you put a single one on the side bar? I might be able to mess with it and figure it out if anything.

[viperthecursed]

Well....I put the code in there and it didn't make anything, just displayed the raw code on the side bar I'll probably message one of the staff members to see if they could help me make it happen, thanks for all your help

as far as i am aware, it is not possible to achieve what you are requesting, at this time. It is something they may add in the future.

If you are referring to the staff here on this forum, please don't PM for support unless asked to. PB staff check this board daily during office hours. ProBoards' offices hours are 9am-5pm, Pacific Time.

This certainly has been done, though it will probably require some work with templates rather than just the plugin. I do not have an answer for you off the top of my head, but while you are waiting, you may want to poke around the plugin and template boards on this forum to look for similar requests.

This currently isn't possible outside of custom pages. The recent threads are only listed on the Recent Threads page and via the custom page widget.
