A Latest Posts module for use with Kunena Forum, created by nZambi eXtensions. Powered by MooTools and a compact script which is created on-the-fly to allow multiple modules to be loaded on a single page. Full control over the look of the module is achieved through back-end options and parameters...
Please note that, with the release of the 1.7.0 version, I will no longer be updating or adding features to the J!1.5 version.
Other options include:
- Include individual Categories and/or forums
- Exclude individual Categories and/or forums
- Show only unanswered posts
- Show or Hide Avatars
- and more...
Setup and Configuration
Most set-up options will be self explanatory. Hovering over the option labels will give you a ToolTip Hint as to what the option does. Some of the stuff on the Advanced Parameters tab, however, may need some explaining.
The MooTools options control the Transition Effects. The default is Sine.easeOut but feel free to play with these settings to get the feel you want for your site. The differences between some of the Transitions are subtle.
The Color Settings are probably pretty straight forward for you. The Border setting defaults to "no Border" and the main content area defaults to "transparent" if they are left blank. The sliders, however, need a fill and will default to Black if they are left blank. These options can be entered in Hex format ( #FFFFFF ) or simple english ( WHITE ).
The Sizes, found on the Advanced Parameters tab will take the most time to get right if you need to change the default settings. Keep in mind that the Number of Posts and the Large, Small and Normal Heights all work together. In the default state, we show 6 postsand the normal height for each item is 60px. When we hover over an item, all the others ( 5 in this case ) will shrink down to the Small height of 40px (shrink by 20px). This means that the entire list is now 100px shorter than it was ( 5 x 20 = 100px). If we add this 100px to the original 60px, we can then enlarge the high-lighted item to 160px without changing the original height of the list!
Clear as mud? Good... now go have fun!
