Feature Request: Select default period setting for Latest Posts Module and Recent Topics Tab was created by ejw

Hi,

It appears that by default, the recent posts list shows those of the last month and that the latest posts module takes it from there with the same period pre-selected. Within the recent topics tab in the forum you can select between "since last visit" and different periods ranging from 4 hrs to one year.

It would be fab if the default period could be selected in both, the Kunena configuration AND - overriding this setting - the module parameters.

There must be the "month" setting pre-selected somewhere (why else is the first option - since last visit - not used?), but where? I'd like to change that code until this new feature is added (assuming that you find this a good idea or show me how to find the settings in the case I am just blind, even after spending an hour or so looking for it ;-)

).

BW, Erik

Kunena 1.6.1
Latest Posts Module 1.6.0 RC2

(MOD: please move to category "Feature Request" if you think this is more appropriate)

Yes, that's true

I don't know about this. The latest post module operates quite independently of the Kunena component.

I don't know the answer. I just know that there isn't the relationship as you've suggested. I haven't had any time to experiment with the Latest Posts module myself. I have been too busy wrestling with the many requests for assistance with the core product. Sorry.

Can someone else please advise what settings are available in the latest posts module that would assist in this case?

Just for the record, I also had a few members ask for this in the recent topics tab.

I found out where this is specified.

In components/com_kunena/funcs/latestx.php

on line 52 it says

Code:

$this->show_list_time = JRequest::getInt ( 'sel', 720 );

Change that to

Code:

$this->show_list_time = JRequest::getInt ( 'sel', 0 );

I found this code in another file. It will give You an idea what to change the "720" to fit Your needs.

Code:

                        $timesel[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 0,
JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SHOW_LASTVISIT'));
			$timesel[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 4, JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SHOW_4_HOURS'));
			$timesel[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 8, JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SHOW_8_HOURS'));
			$timesel[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 12, JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SHOW_12_HOURS'));
			$timesel[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 24, JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SHOW_24_HOURS'));
			$timesel[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 48, JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SHOW_48_HOURS'));
			$timesel[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 168,
 JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SHOW_WEEK'));
			$timesel[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 720, JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SHOW_MONTH'));
			$timesel[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 8760, JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SHOW_YEAR'));
