Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 29, 201015 yr I am not understanding how we have default hooks for almost everything....but recent forum activity? Now I know that we have a "Recent Topics" hook, but I am looking for a hook that not only displays new topics, but also any new replies. I am currently running (SOS30) Latest Discussions, which will show new topics OR new replies. So I am stuck with having only new replies show up on my forum index. There should be a Recent Forum Activity hook, that not only will display new topics that have been created, but also topics that just had a reply posted to them. At this point any new topics will not show up on the SOS30 mod until they have a reply. So how about it? I am sure you guys could just add a setting to the existing Recent Topics hook that would allow this to happen
January 30, 201015 yr Recent forum activity is a tremendously load-intensive task to do - as it has to join on the single largest table in the average IPB install, which even IPB avoids if it can - posts. I do not believe you will ever see an official IPS "Recent Forum Activity" hook as if they do ship one, they'll have people blaming them for getting kicked off their web hosts in a week or so.

Ok then I am severely confused, The RSS feed already does this, so am I missing something? I am just asking for it in hook form.
January 30, 201015 yr Are you after a Recent Posts / Replies block? I created one and a Recent Topics Block using IP Content. I have it refreshing every 3 minutes and the load has hardly gone up at all. I did try the Recent Topics hook which is actually a Recent Replies hook but had to uninstall it as my server CPU load went up quite a bit. Here's what I've got on my Portal page. The good thing with using IP Content is I can customize it a lot better than using someone else's hook. With this, a newly posted topic with no replies shows up in both blocks. 3DKiwi
