Description
If your forums are split up in such a way where certain groups of users only visit a certain forum, then you know it's difficult to get all your users to read an announcement. This mod displays a certain amount of threads from a specified "source" forum, and places it on the Forum Display page right after the Stickied threads. These threads are labeled with a "Global: " tag.
This mod is in beta, so install at your own risk, but will be supported. Please let me know of any bugs, or suggestions that you may have!
Install / Upgrade
Download the attached XML file, and import it at
Admin Control Panel > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product

set the number of threads from the source forum to display
Make a new thread in your "source" forum and it will be displayed globally in other forums.

Really is a great idea, it means I won't have to sticky an identical thread in every single forum - as afterall, without comments announcements can be useless.

Wow, this is a SUPER idea! I'll wait until it's out of Beta, but plan to use it with a FOR SALE forum so the latest threads will be displayed in my other forums as well.

Go into your AdminCP and select Forums & Moderators, then choose Forum Manager. Now, click on a forum name and at the top of the next page you'll see the forum ID to the right of the forum name.(i.e. Forum: For Sale! (id: 16))

Assuming 25 is the ID of your newly created forum, then...
Usage
Create a new forum that will be your "source" forum; that is, this forum will contain your global threads. Get the forumid of this forum. (25 in your case)
In your AdminCP --> vBulletin Options --> Global Threads make sure you:
- enable it
- enter in the forumid (i.e. 25) of your source forum
- set the number of threads from the source forum to display
Make a new thread in your "source" forum and it will be displayed globally in other forums.

Actually I got it working exactly how I wanted it, check the attachment...
It was very simple as long as you're using the Separate Sticky/Normal threads hack. Just had to re-code your merge plugin and the Forum Display template.
If you want have the other hack installed and you want to make yours look like mine do the following:
Open ForumDisplay template
Find:
$threadbits_sticky
Replace with:
$stickyglobalthreadbits
$threadbits_sticky
<else />
$nostickyglobalthreadbits
In the Plugin (Merge Global Threadbits with Threadbits)
Replace the entire plugin with:
if ($vbulletin->options['gton'])
{
eval('$bolx3 = "' . fetch_template('FORUMDISPLAY_Separate_global') . '";');
eval('$bolx4 = "' . fetch_template('FORUMDISPLAY_Separate') . '";');
$nostickyglobalthreadbits = "$bolx3".$globalthreadbits."$bolx4";
$stickyglobalthreadbits = "$bolx3".$globalthreadbits;
}
Add a phrase called: delim_global
With the following:
Universal Threads
Lastly, add a template called FORUMDISPLAY_Separate_global
With the following:
<tr><td class="thead" colspan="<if condition="$show['threadicons']">7<else />6</if>"><strong>$vbphrase[delim_global]</strong></td></tr>
This doesn't add the little globe image I have, if you want that, PM me.
Wonderful work both of you randominity and |oR|Greg. It's like you've read my mind. I was about to start a thread to request such hack but here you did it. And when I went through the thread, I had this idea about editing the hack, just like what |oR|Greg did. Thanks for both of you.
randominity, can you please include those editings in the hack ?
|oR|Greg
10-23-2006, 08:16 PM
Well the only problem with including my steps would be I think that "$threadbits_sticky" won't exist in the ForumDisplay template because the Separate Stickies/Normal threads hack isn't installed. That of course would also alter the IF statement in the ForumDisplay template. If anything he can include it stating: IF you're using the separation hack, then you can use my piece, otherwise it might get too confusing for some.

Would be interested in the new version to select some forums and exclude others.
Thing is I'm not sure I understand how the thread is displayed and how it functions.
DISPLAY - "places it on the Forum Display page" - does that mean it puts a new thread in multiple forums?
SOURCE - does that mean the threads act independently once they appear in the multiple forums? or are they clones of the source?
For example If I make a source thread, and a user answers it in forum A, does the reply appear in forum B forum C etc?
Or does each thread in each forum it appears in operate independently once the thread is created?
I WOULD LIKE to have my moderators able to post multiple threads to their own set of forums. They would need some kind of CP but only to the forums they have access to, so they don't get confused by a long list of forums!
Shanj
10-23-2006, 09:48 PM
new version to select which forums?
sounds good!
Are the threads clones or duplicates? That is if a user replies to one does the reply appear in all the forums selected? (clone)
Or does a thread operate independently once it gets started by the plugin so a user in one forum can reply w/o the reply cloning in other forums? (duplication)
I really want a plugin where my moderators can post a thread ONLY in their own list of selected forums. So each moderator has a list of forums to operate for duplicate threads and has no access to other forums not on their list.
randominity
10-23-2006, 10:44 PM
well how it works is this.. .the source forum is where the ONE and ONLY thread resides... what the display does... it just grabs the threads from the source forum, and basically links it to your other forums...
you can see how it works at my forum: www.l2blah.com - the announcements forum is my "source" forum, check out the other forums and you can see the global threads.
When users reply to the global thread, they are replying to ONE thread, that's actually located in the "source" forum; but the thread just gets displayed in all the other forums as well.
Things I will include in the next version:
1) Forum Exclusion
2) Display Properties
2a) more locations of where you can place the Global threads
2b) changing the text of "Global Threads: " to something else
2c) setting the sorting of global threads (right now I have them set to the time of creation instead of lastpost)

Why not have it based on usergroup permission instead of forumid, and have it be a un/checkable box just like Un/Stick Thread. That way you're not limited to 1 forum as your source, and you're not limited to X number of Global Threads?

because that would require a database edit I believe

|oR|Greg
10-25-2006, 01:55 PM
Damn, I hate being thurough... I just noticed in the actual Global Threads forum my hack causes a small issue with displaying a black section called Universal Threads above the Normal Threads section. Gotta work on that. Although it gave me an idea, to make the section collapsable as well as the Sticky threads, and the Normal Threads. Why not right?
|oR|Greg
10-25-2006, 02:14 PM
Well, got the broken piece fixed, but decided against the collapsable portion, not only do I not want users to be able to ignore important stuff, but I would have to make big template/plugin changes.
Once the global topic is created and for example I have 10 forums, will the global topic be listed 10 times in the Latest Topics list or just once?
|oR|Greg
10-25-2006, 08:55 PM
Just once, it's a thread just like any other, but what makes it Global is the plugin, the plugin queries any/all threads in the forum you specify and then outputs it in every OTHER forum.

I know this is a hack of a hack so I understand the support implications...I'm very keen to try and get this working as shown in the PIC is it displays the threads exactly how I want to :)
So, I installed this on a clean board and had the same problem. For some reason the header for the announcements is being displayed..
Any chance you could help?
Cheers

|oR|Greg
10-26-2006, 11:27 AM
If you followed my insturctions it should be working fine, make sure you didn't miss any steps, are you sure you added the template in, and the phrase?
Slyfox1
10-26-2006, 09:40 PM
Code added to FORUMDISPLAY, code replaced in the merge_xx_xx plugin, phrase added (although I changed the text) FORUMDISPLAY_Seperate_global template added and code inserted :(
The only thing I wasn't sure of was with the phrase. NAME = delim_global, phrase type = GLOBAL, product = GLOBAL, text = Global Announcements.
|oR|Greg
10-27-2006, 01:31 AM
Well, it has to be some kind of user error, but since I don't know on which piece, can you give me AdminCP access on your site and i'll check your code? Just PM me with a temporary username/pass and i'll see what I can do.

how come, when i create the global thread on the forum that should be only "someone" able to create the thread and everyone one else able to read and reply to that thread.. but once I do that, everyone can't read the thread either.. is there away to fix this? .. global thread is the thread that not everyone should be able to create.
I set the permission on the forum itself, but the thread can't be read even thought i set that usergroup able to read forum,thread,others,reply.,,etc.. still not working

Just set the "Registered Users" usergroup to NOT be able to "Post new topics" -or- you can set the forum settings to Moderate New Threads, I suppose that could work as well.

Could you have so it doesn't showup if you set usergroup permissons to view thread and forum to NO.
Right now they can see the thread and highlight it to see the 1st post but if they click on it they will get access denied.

Great add on. However, any chance of adding the option to 'include' particular forums as against excluding particular ones.
I have over 120 forums (built up over 10 years) and only need the global threads in one or two other forums. Can there be an option to select the include or exclude option?

Also if someone replies to in a global thread does the same reply appear in the other forums?

The threads are "normal" threads in a regular forum. This mod just displays the threads in that forum across every other forum.

sorry if this has already been mentioned, as they are global and may be a little more generalised over sticky threads, would they not be better placed above stickies and not below?

This would be a very very useful plug for me, however I have 500 forums and since I would only use it to post threads in my 6-8 leader forums, trying to list every forum to exclude would be a nightmare. Also would be better if you weren't redirected to the original forum. If the forum is private and the concept is to have a discussion among all the leaders in forums they all cant cross over into normally, this wouldnt work.
Works a charm and dont have to modify a thing! Thanks.

What a great idea this is...
The ability to include forums would be fantastic for our forum... excluding 150+ forums is a bit much. :) Looking forward to the update!
As it stands now, is exclusion available on a per-thread basis, or do the same exclusions apply to all the global threads? Our global threads would be of interest to 5-10 forums, but a different 5-10 forums each time.

Edit the phrase $vbphrase[gt_global] from "Global:" to whatever you want. You can add html code to style it as well.
Actually I got it working exactly how I wanted it, check the attachment...
I followed your instructions step-by-step and the Global Announcements are not separating correctly. I have tried to fix this and make it so the table that separates global threads and normal sticky threads shows up but it's not working:

The problem is a variable that isn't set called $lastpostinfo2
Find:
SELECT $votequery $previewfield
thread.lastpostid, thread.threadid, thread.postusername , thread.title AS threadtitle, thread.forumid, pollid, open, replycount, postusername, postuserid, thread.iconid AS threadiconid,
$lastpost_info2, thread.dateline, IF(views<=replycount, replycount+1, views) AS views, notes, thread.visible, sticky, votetotal, thread.attach,
And remove the text highlighted in red, "$lastpost_info2, " and it will work - I have it on my 3.8.1 test site and it's working fine. My version is highly customized, otherwise I'd upload it for you folks.
Just remove that bit of code. My query may be slightly different than what is in the stock plugin.

for 3.7.x version..
just change $lastpost_info2 into $tachy_columns, so that no database error.. if you remove $lastpost_info2, the lastpost info of your global thread will be gone.. or 01/01/1970 (date) and no last posted by...

One thing though, now my thread says it was created in 1969. ROFL Small price to pay I guess. LOL

Can anyone please tell me how to change the text of prefix? Currently it says "Global" I want it to say something like say "Exclusive"
Thanks

Hello. Is there any alternative for vB 4?
Are you considering upgrading this to vB 4?

how do I change the "Global:" to something else?
Edit the phrase $vbphrase[gt_global] from "Global:" to whatever you want. You can add html code to style it as well.
JUST FYI,
When I tried searching for $vbphrase[gt_global] (within Phrase Text and Phrase Variable Name) all I ever got was "No Phrases Matched Your Query". :(
However, when I only searched for gt_global (within Phrase Variable Name) it reported: GLOBAL Phrases Containing 'gt_global' gt_global
so after selecting Edit, I was able to Copy Default Text and revise "Global:" to "FOR SALE:" :D

Today I released an updated 3.8 version as well:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=258109
It has all the new options my VB4 version has- You can include or exclude specific forums, you can put them above or below stickies, you can sort by last post or first post, and there is a cool like globe icon you can use. :cool:
Any new developments will be posted in that thread.
It is ESSENTIAL if you upgrade to the new version you UNINSTALL the old one first. This isn't a suggestion, this is a REQUIREMENT.
