I want to put a block on my site that is like the latest forum messages block, but shows titles of and links to the latest content on my site across ALL modules something like this:

Forum     This was the last message posted
News      Something happened today
Forum     Aonther forum message
Comment   Re. Something happened a while ago
Links     Official XOOPS Website
Comment   Re. Something happened a while ago


The block would need to use its own queries to extract the data; doing this for the 'standard' modules would be relatively easy and a plugin process similar to the SiteMap module could be used to extend this.

Has something like this already been done?

That does exactly what I need! All I need to do is a block template to my own liking and a NewBB2 plugin and it will be perfect.

Thanks for the link, I could have wasted hours reinventing this

i wouldn't mind finding a hack or rewrite some of the plug ins to use for other well used modules such as

newbb2
AMS
xcgallery
wfdownloads

I am sure it would not be too difficult to rewrite the php to query the different tables in the database. I just would like to know where to start thats all so if anybody has any ideas I be sure happy to try.


I looked at the newbb plugin I cannot see that it should not work on newbb 2.0 as the tables are the same as they are in the original version would I be mistaken. As only the poll section of newbb2 is showing.

Kiwiguy, Just a thought ... I disabled my newbb plugin on bop comments because, I calculated it would fill up the whole of the new items in the block, thus denying other site content!

Instead i used a separte block for the new forum posts leaving bopcomments to display other content.
