Last post in topic widget?

[Apfelstrudel]

Hello,

how can I change the shown date of a topic in the topic widget that it shows the date of the last post and not of the topic start? This makes more sense for me and the community.

Also it would be great to show the username of the last poster and not the topic starter.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Any idea how to do that?

The users are already yelling because of the wrong date in the widget. They need to know when the last post of this topic was.

Please help.

No answer?

OK, then I will try to fix it by myself.

Could anybody please tell me which file builds the widget?
