Hello.
How to display in the module "recent discussions" discussions of the current category (without specifying category)?
Thank you.
Thanks, Mark!
I did it!!!
Let's ROCK: it working!

And my snippet-help (hack source) for ALL!

Config module (in admin panel): "Featured", "Unanswered"

File: /modules/mod_recentdiscussions/helper.php
Search: if( $filter == 3 )
in this section locate:


					. ' AND a.' . $db->nameQuote( 'featured' ) . '=' . $db->Quote( 1 )

					. $stateQuery

					. $groupByQuery

					. $orderBy

					. $limitQuery;

and replace (insert 2 lines in query):


					. ' AND a.' . $db->nameQuote( 'featured' ) . '=' . $db->Quote( 1 )



					. ' AND (a.`category_id` = '. $db->Quote(JRequest::getInt( 'category_id' ))

					. ' OR   a.`id`          = '. $db->Quote(JRequest::getInt( 'id' )).' )'



					. $stateQuery

					. $groupByQuery

					. $orderBy

					. $limitQuery;

Hello,

I am sorry but it is not possible to do this currently unless you hack the module file The module can only display discussions categorized by specific categories in the module settings.

Hello Evgeniy,

If you want to hack, you can do so by editing the file /modules/mod_recentdiscussions/helper.php . You will need to alter the SQL query so that it only fetches from the current post's category
