(Applies to version 1.0 of FusionBB)

Adding the following code will allow you to create a particle box for Photopost Recent Photos (as well as some code to add the Recent Photos to the Forum Index page, as an alternative).

Disclaimer: Please backup every file you intend to modify. If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.

Note: If you choose to modify your FusionBB code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from InteractivePHP,Inc. If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.

This code works under FusionBB 1.0
