Mario Thomas Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hi, We can see Recent Topics but not "Recent Entries" or "Recent Post" or "Hotest Topics", I think that would be a nice and useful addition for us community users. Thanks Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broni Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 There are hooks for both statistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Thomas Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yes I know, but I mean here in this forum, in this website, because many posts are not seen as they are answers to existing topics... so they do not appear on the right column.

It was stock in 3.1.x. I doubt it ever will be again. Latest posts on the board index has resource implications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does "it was stock in 3.1.x" mean? Sorry I don't understand that expression. Does it mean that feature was dissable in that version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it mean that feature was dissable in that version? It mean the feature was stock to IPB in 3.1.x, it was removed from the stock in 3.2.x with reason. IPS generally tries to run as close to the stock as possible here to provide a reasonable representation of the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 "Stock" means out of the box, or default in the software. On a site with any sort of good traffic, a recent posts block is (1) not very useful because it's changing so frequently you rarely can review what's in it, and (2) somewhat resource intensive, as the posts table is typically the largest table in the database.

Mario Thomas Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks for explaning the term "stock" in this content. I thought it would interesting for the community to show a kind of "Post Stream" similar to a Twitter Stream and give a community a more dinamyc view, but I didn't know about the resource issues. What about showing the latest posts on hottest topics?... the resource issues would be the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
