Can I link to our Oldest thread?

[voice]

Hello Everyone

I was just wondering if any of you know if it is possible to create an opposite version of the "Last Updated" link code:


</td></tr>
{if $[last_updated_thread]}<tr><td>Last Updated: $[last_updated_thread.recent_link] by $[last_updated_thread.last_post.created_by] ($[last_updated_thread.last_post.created_on])</td></tr>


In other words, I want a way to link to the thread that has not been updated in the longest amount of time...

An example of Code that does not work for this purpose:  


</td></tr>
{if -$[last_updated_thread]}<tr><td>Longest Ago Updated: -$[last_updated_thread.recent_link] by -$[last_updated_thread.last_post.created_by] (-$[last_updated_thread.last_post.created_on])</td></tr>



Thanks!

I just found this:

New Thread Sorting — Allowed members to organize threads in a variety of ways to facilitate viewing (by subject, thread creator, replies, views or, post order). Threads could now also be viewed 'either way'; oldest/newest, newest/oldest, largest/smallest, smallest/largest etc.

Does anyone know if these options are current and if they have associated codes I could use in my home template?

Yes, they're current, but they're not determined in the templates. There's no template variable to call the oldest post / thread. I don't even know if that's possible, but if it were you'd need a javascript code and not a template modification.

Cool. Thanks for the reply!

Is there a way to simply view the oldest post/thread for now? I apologize for asking what is probably a very stupid question.

Not via templates, I'm afraid. You may want to ask over on the Plugin Request Board but I can't promise you'll get a favourable response :/
