Great plugin, Andy. One little bug only: the anchor tag is improperly closed which causes all anchors not to be clickable.

This:

<a href="{xen:link 'threads/unread',  $thread}" title="{xen:helper snippet, $thread.message, 200}" />{$thread.title}</a>

should become this:

<a href="{xen:link 'threads/unread',  $thread}" title="{xen:helper snippet, $thread.message, 200}">{$thread.title}</a>

I also used a list (<ul>) which should be a better aproach than a table.

Hi Andy,

Changing position in sidebar: doesn't work for me.
I change the value from 10 to 20 but the position is still the same.
What wrong?

Fixed with the help of Andy.
Thanks @AndyB for your help

Fixed with the help of Andy.

My pleasure.

In this case Lindal_Oronar ask the New Posts block be located just above the Profile Posts block. So I instructed the Template Modification needs to be changed like this:

Hi Andy

Just a wee error with your notes, it should say to navigate to New Posts not Recent posts (guess this was from your other addon??) .

Secondly I only have the Visitor Panel, who's online and forum stats in the sidebar but haven't been able to figure how to get these to display below the forum stats. I've tried changing the execution order but that hasn't helped, are you able to help please?

Thanks and as ever a great little addon.

Can we use it with 1.2?

Hi CFodder,

In order to display the New Posts below the Forum Statistics, edit the Template Modification and change the Find to:

<!-- end block: forum_stats -->

In a future update is there a way to have a drop down menu for the exclude option for easier use?

Found error on install :

Callback Andy_NewPosts_Listener::Forum is invalid (Invalid Class).

Hi Andy

Am coming across an error where the latest post drops off after it's been read. It will then reappear and stay in the widget when a newer post is made.

Am running XF 1.4.1 and do have a few addons installed. This is on my locked forum too, not the OLDr one.

**EDIT ** This is working as intended, my mistake for confusing it with latest posts.

Are the images being grabbed by the attachment, or does it recognize the first image in the post?

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong - but it doesn't appear to be showing on my forum correctly - despite being enabled?

Could this be as "Last Post" is still installed - but disabled?

You must install this when you updated this add-on
