How do I add the “Unread and recently updated topics” section to the bottom of my page to show the most recent topics etc. Just like this page has it?
By default this is shown to all users except for forum admins. But if you want to turn it on so you can see it as well then you will need to edit the spGroupView.php theme template (/templates folder of your SP theme). Right at the bottom is the fucntion that creates this display:
sp_RecentPostList('show=10', __sp('Unread and recently updated topics'));
It just needs an extra argument passed as in:
sp_RecentPostList('show=10&admins=1', __sp('Unread and recently updated topics'));
You can turn it on for moderators as well using the argument ‘mods=1’
As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/)
