Sorry for a bunch of small questions today. But today is "rollout" day for the new forum and my members generate a lot of questions I cant answer. This will fade in the coming days. 🙂
Is there an easy way in the Recent Post Widget to not only display the date, but also the time of the post shown?
This is something missed from the old mingle recent post list.
Maybe I can add some html code in the date-field of the widget to add the time?
Any idea?

The only way would be to change the php code in the source tag. If you want to go ahead and do that I can tell you where to go...

Yes pls tell me. If its not to complicated I might make an exception.
Thanks!

The code file is in the forum-plugins folder /template-tags/library/sp-RecentPosts-tag.php
The date section is commented. The function:
sp_date('d', $spThisListTopic->post_date)is also used to display the time by simply changing the 'd' to a 't' - so you can repeat the call on that line of code. Something along the lines of:
$out.= "<span class='$textClass'>".$beforeDate.sp_date('d', $spThisListTopic->post_date)." - ".sp_date('t', $spThisListTopic->post_date)."$afterDate</span>
";for example

Happy new year!
Found the time to try and works! Thanks, this was one of the issues, many of my readers where complaining about, because the navigation is mostly done via the sidebar of "recent posts".
What is the easiest way to automate the change, so that I dont need to do it with every update? Do I need a child theme anyhow or is there a simpler, quicker way to permanently incorporate this?

I have no advice on automating code changes to core files I am afraid. As we always say to people - changes like that are really up to you - there really isn't anything we can do to help with that.

One additional question I became aware of after the change.
I have set the limit to 30 "items" in the widget.
But shown are only 17 topics with new posts within the timespan of two days.
Question:
What does the number of items count. The topics or the posts? If posts I could understand the 17, if 30 posts are part of only 17 topics.
Or is there an inherent timecount, that cuts anything beyond 24 hours?
Thanks!

No, there is no time limit applied to the recent posts tag...
not sure what you mean by 'items'? assume you mean the 'limit' option in the widget? would probably be useful to see a screenshot of your widget options...
it should be posts not topics that gets limited...
