Sledge FTB Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hi all and happy new year. This is a kind of 'ask for a friend' post 😉, as it has nothing to do with my own server, but any help would be awesome! Thing is, I'm member on a site running IPS. Their (fancy) forum template does not support fluid layout. They choose to use a zillion sub and subsubboards. It does keep the topics organised, but it isn't helping 'reading' the site. My main interest are the new topics and opening posts, I can't really care about the majority of the replies. Is there a way to request topic-list or unread list, sorted on topic start dates (desc), without me opening and closing subboard per subboard? The unread/activity/stream pages seem to render per replies only. I tried to squeeze in a manual "fluid layout" cookie, but without luck. Tried adding "?sortby=start_date&sortdirection=desc" to several URLs, but without luck. Who has a bright idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledge FTB Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Thank you @lilnina, but that is not a default-page you can call on any forum running IPS, right? That is kind of mandatory, as I don't own that one site I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel F Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Why won't an activity stream work for you? Couldn't you use the "Content Items" option? Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledge FTB Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 That does include topic replies unfortunately Like this @Daniel F It is showing all the topics that have been replied to (you in this case) in the last some minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to do what you want without a 3rd-party resource is add the Topic feed widget (ordered by start date) in a page you want, in the horizontal mode. You will get a list of X latest topics like a forum view and it won’t get updated when people reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledge FTB Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Thank you for your reply @Adriano Faria, I guess I have to live with it, as it's not my board and I won't be able to install any plugins or so. Have to be honest and say I found it weird there is no such URL available. Seems quite basic to me. I give up and rest my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
