Hello there,

I am wondering if someone could help me install the mod where the last topic title is displayed on the right hand side of the index page, like on this site.

Thanks in advance,

John

why do you always ask if we can help you install a mod? you mean to install it from the beginning? or are you having problems installing it? are you getting errors? or what? We at this forum cannot help you install anything but we can help you with any problems you are having, if that is what you mean!

well first of all you should go to this forum,
viewtopic.php?f=10
specially, this one
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=53

once you TRY to install the mod on your own, and you have problems installing it, then this is the place to ask for help, but we won't, by that i mean I, won't help you install the whole thing!

Just done it using the guide and the guide that came with the mod and....... it works!!

I have just one more question:

If I upload the edited files and the file that I was suppose to copy to the appropriate area in my database would it work on the live version of my forum?

Or will mess everything up?

I've only tested it on my localhost.


Cheers,


John

just make a back up of your files b4 you edit them,store them in a different folder ;) , upload to your server(not database) and if anything goes wrong you have a copy of the files b4 you broke them.

sick of winking @ ya
Bonus tip for learners! :geek:
have 2 windows or tabs one in admin control panel and one on your index or any page your working on so you dont loose access to your admin control panel. go back button in browser is a good tool :thumb:
