A new Joomla! forum component was born last week.

Fireboard. It is really nice and much better than its elder brother, the Joomlaboard. The feel and functionality is more to SMF (plus, without the hassles of installing bridges and later in dilemma when upgrading because the probability of that particular bridge gone awry is really high).

Almost everything is perfect, except the latest post module. Frankly I (and so are others) think that having JBLatest module by Rowan Seymour is the perfect combination with the great FireBoard forum.

Ive released a small hack of the module (yes, the changes in the code is quite minor) and published it at the Joomla! Extensions site.

You may view the demo at http://www.mc0004.com (my batchs' official website). Specifically, the blue module at the right corner of the template.

Ericka March 31, 2008 http://www.thomhartmann.com Votes: +1	Is it possible to have the title link stay the same as the first post in the thread's title even if the last post in the thread changes the title? For example, if the original post is "Obama vs. Clinton" and the last post in the thread changes the title to "Democrats Suck" can we keep the original post title "Obama vs. Clinton" as the link title?
