Getting the Hot Topics count

How can we get the count of the hot topics which we set under  Admin > Layout Settings> Board View Settings, is there any context object for this? We are customizing a component and need the count of hot topics, otherwise we have to hardcode the value, which is not a good option.

    Hi VarunGrazitti 

     

    to get that value, you can use this freemarker snippet

     

    <#assign myValue = settings.name.get("layout.messages_per_thread_hot","10")?number />

     

    This is using the settings context object method (and defaulting to 10 if not found for any reason). Hope it helps

    Hi 

     

    do you mean the Hot Topics threshold value in the Posts & Topics  -> Post Display section?

    I have not found the one you mentioned

     

    Thanks,
