I haven't looked at the file for about 8 months, but from what Iremeber, the order should be set in the SQL query to the database.

If you are using MS SQL Server you may need to change the stored procedures on the MS SQL Server database.

OK, that should be alright...
 
I'm not really familiar with asp but the file seems well laid out and commented Smile.
 
How would I/one go about modifying the active_topics.asp? Would it be difficult? Any advice, pointers or suggestions? Where (in the file) would be the best place to start?
 
Thanks Wink

The active topics page lists all foums that have got new posts in them,with the forums in the order you have set in the admin area.

The latest post for each forum is placed at the top of the listing for that forum in date order.

The only way to change this is to modify the file active_topics.asp.

Oh I see - thanks for the info.
 
So what you are saying is that the order set in the admin area is supposed to change the order on the active topics page Shocked.
 
Is there any way of disabling this feature so that the active topics page is unaffected? - We are used to having the posts listed chronologically (regardless of the order on the default.asp page Smile) so that the last post is always at the top of the page.
 
PS: We have been discussing it on our forum here: http://adsltech.com/portal/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2027&am p;PN=0&TPN=1

If you change the order of the forums from the admin area it should change the order correctly on the active topics page.

Check that your forum orders are correct and they all have different numbers.

Also, reupload the file in case the file is corrupted.

Sorry - perhaps I'm not using the correct terminology. To the best of my knowledge, no mods are installed. When I say 'subforum', I mean the various areas of our forum (categories etc).]]> Wed, 22 Dec 2004 04:42:20 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/active-topics-display-order_topic13079_post72403.html#72403 <![CDATA[Active Topics - display order : Are you using a mod or something?...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/active-topics-display-order_topic13079_post72402.html#72402 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

Are you using a mod or something? as the present version of web wiz forums available to the public does not support subforums.]]> Wed, 22 Dec 2004 04:36:09 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/active-topics-display-order_topic13079_post72402.html#72402 <![CDATA[Active Topics - display order : Hi, On a forum I admin with...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/active-topics-display-order_topic13079_post72388.html#72388 Author: Newtonian

Hi,
 
On a forum I admin with others, the 'active topics' page works fine - except that when we change the display order of the forums/subforums in the admin panel it mucks up the chronological order of the 'active topics' page.
 
Is there a solution or is there something we've missed? Confused
 
Apologies if this has been addressed before - I ran a search here on active topics and skimmed all 43 topics that came up, but I didn't really see anything exactly the same.
 
Thanks in advance...
