Showcase items on forum home

[ernestdefoe]

I'm sure this may have been asked already but I can't seem to find it or don't know what to search for but I notice how there is the featured showcase items on the forum home of this site. How do I go about doing that and can it be set to show newest items instead of featured?

That is the Node List Items block.

Admin CP >> Options >> Showcase >> Forum Home Node List Items Options

Yes, you can set which type of items are displayed. Options are (Most Recent, Top Rated, Most Popular and Featured). You can also set what Data is displayed (Image Required, Show Title, Show Description, Show Rating). You can also set the amount of items to display.

In this upcoming version (1.3.0), you can also choose which Categories to pull the items from. Also, the new Layout is a "Slider" (you can see it in action at www.myrocknation.com)

Yeah I had just found that setting as I was reading your response. Just curious when is the new version coming out as I love that slider look.

btw, you can also set the Title of the Module (or leave it blank to not have a title bar at all)

I am going a 110mph trying to get a solid RC ready for release this week. I made a couple changes yesterday that I need to finish up today and test. Could be as early as today. I'd like to have it released at least by Friday so that people can mess around with it over the weekend.

Sounds good to me.
