newbie question I know.. but where do I change that This is a forum by vbulletin etc etc that is set as the default in the thread description

[TrucLinh]

Acc. to Thread Description Options by Login to Admin CP > Forums & Moderators > Choose Forum Manager or Add New Forum > see Screenshots [ https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=56212&d=1163946067 ]

[SouthernTn]

No, I want to change the wording.. I cant find where to change the default wording just incase they dont input a description

[TrucLinh]

I don't understand you.

???

[SouthernTn]

when making a new thread, inside the "Description" box, there are the default text saying " This is a discussion forum powered by vBulletin. To find out about vBulletin, go to http://www.vbulletin.com "

How can I delete this text, because when someone doesnt enter in a description, this will appear in that area.

Is there a way to do this yet as I would like for it to be left blank if nobody puts a desciption in the box.

When trying this for 3.6.4 I get the message that:

This file was created using a different version of vBulletin from the one you are running.

Your version: 3.6.4
File version: 3.6.3

Is this easily fixed?

[KURTZ]

dont understand: runs or not on 3.6.4? :confused:

[PoetJA-1975]

Very nice - Thanx for the screenies ;)
Thanx for the mod as well - been looking for something like this!
Excellent!

Jacquii.

[Discussions]

dont understand: runs or not on 3.6.4? :confused:

To answer is as best as I can, as of the moment this does not work on Vbulletin 3.6.4 due to some changes in the code. It will probably take a few days before a new, updated version comes along.

[KURTZ]

ok thx, i'm waiting for new release :)

[PoetJA-1975]

Hey TRANSIBUS - I had a similar issue with 3.5.x.... I downloaded the readme.zip, commented out all of the executionorder="5"...

Find and remove:

<versioncheckurl>https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?do=checkversion&t=131239</versioncheckurl>

Then reimport the plug in...

Hope this helps!

Jacquii.

[Neutral Singh]

Is it possible to do search in thread description? Thanks for this.

[KURTZ]

thx TrucLinh!

already INSTALLED on 3.6.4 and works like a charm :D

[farooqaaa]

Thanks alot. This is nice!

[transitbus]

A couple of suggestions:


Don't rar the file please, leave it as zip
There is no need to upload the XML product file via ftp. You can use the product upload via the admin CP
The description on the main thread here is far too confusing, it has too much information that is hard to follow. Can you simplify the process and give upgrade instructions?


Thanks and aside from these little things this is an excellent mod.

[transitbus]

Edit... NM simply had to remove the program and reinstall it and the error went away.

[transitbus]

when installed your mod interferes with unread posts. When uninstalled it break the undread post function by deleting a required table field. This is a dangerous bug and I hope you fix it because now I am having to go and manually fix my forum to fix your bug


Database error in vBulletin 3.6.4:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT searchid FROM search AS search WHERE userid = 1 AND searchhash = 'b2ba47094c3fh227e95e9820abe34e7a' AND orderedids = '491' AND announceids = '' AND completed = 1;

[transitbus]

Edit:

looks like your mod removes a required field:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs36.php?do=view&bugid=1218

If you have done a new install and are getting errors while searching, this column is missing. Please run the following query to add it:

Code:
ALTER TABLE `search` ADD `completed` SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '1';

I think if you alter your xml file to not include:

$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "search` ADD `completed` tinyint(1) default NULL");

and:

$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "search` DROP `completed`");

This might work because completed has to have a default of not null to work and you are altering it to change to null as the default. You also can not remove this field

[Paul M]

The uninstall code of this mod is removing a default vbulletin field from the search table - this should be fixed asap and people informed to upgrade (and not to uninstall this product until they have). You should also remove the code in the install section that adds this field - the field should already be present in a 3.6.4 installation.

Edit: This has now been fixed by the author.

[Terminatoronly]

thanks alot working fine for me :D

[Cybershaolin]

There is also another bug for 3.6.4. When you want to edit a message by using the Edit (modifiy) button and if you decide to go in advance mode, you will get a DB error such as:

[adonfun]

Thank you TrucLinh, I needed this one :)

[transitbus]

Instead of quoting your whole post TrucLinh, the reason I PM'd you asking for help is because at the time I was still trying to find the reason your addon caused these issues. I wass just lucky to find hte bug report on vb.com. If I had not posted back here and done the research you would still be having problems.

Long story short your mod now works as intended. You tried to modify a required field in a table used by the core aspects of vb. You have fixed your problem and your mod works now.

All is well.

[KURTZ]

unistalled too many issues on this hack :(

[Brew]

TrucLinh,

Don't give up on this mod ok?

It does have some issues but that is ok. Most mods have issues when they are first released because there is so much that can go wrong.

So stay with supporting this mod and things will get better!

Besides, if you leave this mod it could damage your reputation here at vb.org. I would hate to see that happen because you were nice enough to put this mod out for everyone.

Thanks for the mod!

[Nik_s3]

I need my time to do other thing!

TrucLinh

[itdevil]

Nice mod. thank You!

[Cybershaolin]

I have verified the version that I'm using and it's 1.0.0d. Now, I still have the same problem that I had before with it. I will try to explain clearly what's going on exactly with the 3.6.4 of vbulletin. I also have to say that I checked 3 times my templates editions.

When I try to modify a message in a thread which is not the first message of that thread, there is no problem at all but when I try to modify the first message of that thread this is where the trouble starts.

I'm testing in local but the same problem is reproduced with my online version of the forum.

So here are the steps I'm taking. Take note that the error happens in one case but not in another one:

Where I get an error:

If I modify the first message of the thread using the "Edit" button but then going in "Advance mode" , I get this url when I look in the browser header: (http://127.0.0.1/vb_364/forum/editpost.php?do=editpost&postid=87 )

Then, I click on "Save changes" and get this:


Database error in vBulletin 3.6.4:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE thread SET description = '' WHERE threadid = '24';

MySQL Error : The table 'vb_364.thread' doesn't exists
Error Number : 1146
Date : Wednesday, December 20th 2006 @ 04:54:03 PM
Script : http://monforum.com/forum/editpost.php?do=updatepost&p=87
Referrer : http://monforum.com/forum/editpost.php?do=editpost&postid=87
Username : Netsurfer
Classname : vb_database


Where I don't get an error:

But, if I modify the first message of the thread clicking the "Edit" using my right button of the mouse and then make it open in a new window, I get this url: when I look in the browser header: (http://127.0.0.1/vb_364/forum/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=87 ) and I don't get the error when clicking on "Save changes"

It's weird because the second time, it gives me a different url even if both options use the advance mode...

The difference between both url's is shown at the end with editpost&postid=87 which creates a bug and with editpost&p=87 which does not bug !

So why it does that, I don't know and would like to understand. How could I correct this?

I hope that you were able to understand my steps and that some other members will be able to reproduce this.

[KURTZ]

like i previously say: too many issues on this hack :(

cyber, i had the same error ... :(

[TrucLinh]

Netsurfer
Go here and Submit a New Bug ( it may be fixed => search vb.com )

My Pa say! "I don't want TrucLinh help fix this vb dev bug. This mod do not create/call this missing table ' looking inside the file product-thread_description.xml and learn some php & Mysql before you say some thing about it! "you have ask vbviet.org your nick 'Netsurfer' you have table with table prefix 'vb_364.thread' then you'll need to prefix when you create this missing table ' You can do it , you want to be a Admin of a site you much learn some php & mysql!
DavidNg "
like i previously say: too many issues on this hack :(

cyber, i had the same error ... :(
Look in inside the XML "product-thread_description.xml" you see any line call this ( missing table & column + error with url links ) ??? Why you say this hack ??? Why you cont. look inside this thread for ???

Why I show you this !!! I nice with you do I? How about you ??? :)
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs36.php
You can read English please learn some php & Mysql, don't make trouble here! :)

[Cybershaolin]

If you say so. :cool: Not a way to talk to people looking for help and without having your php knowledge anyway. :p But, anyhow, I fixed it by modifying your hack! :D

In the module:

I changed this:


$db->query_write("UPDATE thread SET description = '" . $db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars_uni($edit['description'])) . "' WHERE threadid = '" . $db->escape_string($threadinfo['threadid']) . "'");



for


$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread SET description = '" . $db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars_uni($edit['description'])) . "' WHERE threadid = '" . $db->escape_string($threadinfo['threadid']) . "'");


Now it works...

[TrucLinh]

HUM! My pa show you :)

My Pa say! "you have table with table prefix 'vb_364.thread' then you'll need to prefix when you create this missing table ' You can do it ...

"Your sys not look like my sys! Please remember that!" when make mod I base on vBulletin Default."
You & some other install vb add prefix to it. When error all way say we are... When this mod on my/other sys it work find! :)

Other things hack db system you asking belong to tnguy3n not my, My modifications of that hack look good but it all way belong to tnguy3n of vbviet.org . I can't published without tnguy3n permission.

[Devil Woman]

Sorry to sound so dumb here but I cant find where to activate it for forum's, I have had a look through the posts and tried what it says but can't find it anywhere, any help is appreciated.

[YLP1]

Will the text in this field be searchable by vb search function? Thanks in advance.

[Illustrious]

If you say so. :cool: Not a way to talk to people looking for help and without having your php knowledge anyway. :p But, anyhow, I fixed it by modifying your hack! :D

In the module:

I changed this:


$db->query_write("UPDATE thread SET description = '" . $db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars_uni($edit['description'])) . "' WHERE threadid = '" . $db->escape_string($threadinfo['threadid']) . "'");



for


$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread SET description = '" . $db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars_uni($edit['description'])) . "' WHERE threadid = '" . $db->escape_string($threadinfo['threadid']) . "'");


Now it works...

I had issues with the exact same error (running on vb3.6.5).

I tried your fix, and nothing happened. But the problem was that it was prefixing a period ('.') in front of the "thread" table, and thus it wasn't recognizing it in the database.

It would be nice to get it fixed.

[deepak7]

Hey

Its not working for me, nothing appears when I add/edit a thread.

I modified the 6 templates.
I uploaded the plugin.

Now, in admin cp... I seenothing about this on usergroup settings but I can see on forum manager setting (all set to YES... still not working)

[2meplie]

A couple of bugs:

1- When you type in a description and hit "preview" it does not carry the description through. So you have to remember to re-type it or it disappears.

2- When you edit a post you have the box to add/change the description but it does not update with the changes you made to that box.

[DJLy5y]

Adding fast change description by adming and mod ? Using moderation menu ? That will be fun :P And it will be nice to do some default description in admin pannel, and let the admin choose if simple users can change descriptions. :}

[titorevolu]

thanks, it works!!!! it works!!!

[DJLy5y]

It will be nice to add something like if thread description is "game" the thread color is red and when it's "door" the color is green ? And any chance to change thread names using the moderation options ? this one --- > https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=63909&d=1178133233

[popular]

is there a way to change font/color for the thread description?

[nhatrang]

how do we add this to replies as well? WE have it for new threads, what about a member wanting to use the title for the title of their reply, and also want a description? please help.

[vspro]

not worked at 3.6.8?

Installed on 3.6.8 works prefect how ever it did not show up, but after 2 times refreshing it showed up.............. Thanks

Hi, i've been having the update sql errors too. Is there an official fix planned for this mod?

I've also not been able to see the options in the forum permissions too.

This used to be so good on my older boards and need it for 3.6.8.

ps. Can't access your support link in the mod description - the forum is down so looking for support here if possible.

According to Your Orientation, in the Admin Control Panel, in the Plugin System for the Add-Ons (Products), I've Located the "Thread Description - Update Description" Plugin and as You Said:

REPLACED:
$db->query_write("UPDATE thread SET description = '" . $db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars_uni($edit['description'])) . "' WHERE threadid = '" . $db->escape_string($threadinfo['threadid']) . "'");

WITH:
$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread SET description = '" . $db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars_uni($edit['description'])) . "' WHERE threadid = '" . $db->escape_string($threadinfo['threadid']) . "'");

And Now The Error Message Is Not Happening, and The Edit of the Description is Successful!! ;)

Thank You very Much Again For Sharing This Excellent Solution!! :up:

My Best Regards!! ;)

Hi there,

I've changed 2 Plugin's to get this Mod work, Thread Description - Edit Post and the Thread Description - Update Description.

The original code of the first one is

<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">
<title>Thread Description - Edit Post</title>
<hookname>editpost_update_start</hookname>
<phpcode><![CDATA[if ($postinfo['postid'] == $threadinfo['firstpostid'])
{
$vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'description', TYPE_STR);
$edit['description'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['description'];
}]]></phpcode>
</plugin>


my code is

<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">
<title>Thread Description - Edit Post</title>
<hookname>editpost_update_start</hookname>
<phpcode><![CDATA[$vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'description', TYPE_STR);
$edit['description'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['description'];]]></phpcode>
</plugin>

In the second Plugin I've just changed in the if-question the AND in an OR.

With this little changes it works correctly for me on 3.6.8PL2.

</plugin>In the second Plugin I've just changed in the if-question the AND in an OR.

With this little changes it works correctly for me on 3.6.8PL2.

Any way to make this thing remember the description if Thread Preview is clicked?

Thanx again for sharing.

I actually have fixed that bug for my forum. I needed to change the template edit for editpost. The new html is

<!-- description field -->
<if condition="$foruminfo['allowdesc'] == 1">
<if condition="$isfirstpost">
<if condition="$vbulletin->GPC['advanced'] OR $vbulletin->GPC['desc_adv']">
<input type="hidden" name="desc_adv" value="1" />
</if>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="margin-bottom:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
<tr>
<td class="smallfont" colspan="3">$vbphrase[description]: <span class="time">($vbphrase[optional])</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="description" value="$description" size="50" maxlength="100" tabindex="1.5" title="$vbphrase[optional]" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</if></if>
<!-- / description field -->

Furthermore I modified the product file, see attachment.

So adding in both of these fixes teh thread preview problem?

It did in my 3.7.2-PL1 testforum. I do not yet use that description mod in my main forums as I am not yet ready to upgrade that, so it is not tested there.

But I'm quite positive that these two fixes actually do fix that bug without producing new bugs ;)

so i must edit template and reupload the product file or you just include template's changes in product file?

[liwo]

You have to edit the template yourself.

[Leo Brazil]

I've been usind this mod for a long time, since 3.6.7 without any problems but since I upgraded for 3.7 Gold I notice any time someone tries to edit their first post and only if this post has a Thread Description I get a MySQL error like "Table doens't exist for the thread ID".

Despite of this error the changes are made correctly.

Does someone here notice the same ?

unfortunatly, it didn't help me, and when i'm creating a new thread, description stil dissapeares after thread preview :(

[liwo]

Did you also import the attached product file?

[Nook_Neformat]

yeah, i did. i were thinking, when we create new thread, we use template "newthread". so maybe change in this template must be edited to save thread's description after new thread preview?

[liwo]

Could well be. I don't think I tested on thread creation. I test this as soon as I find time for it and get back to you.

Update: ok, I found it. It's just a bug in the template. Exchange the following line in the edit

<input type="text" class="bginput" name="description" value="$description" size="40" maxlength="100" tabindex="1.5" />

with this one

<input type="text" class="bginput" name="description" value="$newpost[description]" size="40" maxlength="100" tabindex="1.5" />

That should fix the problem.

Thanks for telling me.

Hello all,

I'm about to set my hair on fire. I've installed this previously on my other VB forum and it works wonderfully.

I just put it on my 2nd forum and I cannot find the option to enable it in the admincp.

Forums and moderators, manage forums, I choose a forum to edit, no option.....in the old forum or new. Old v3.70 new 3.72. I have no idea how it was enabled in the old.

I baffled.

Please help, Thanks!!

J

[PoetJA-1975]

Um - please no setting of fires :P
You should see options in your AdminCP - You're right - you have to edit to allow on a per-forum basis:
AdminCP --> Forum Manager --> ((choose your forum)) --> Find Thread Description Options --> Option: Allow Thread Description in this Forum = Yes.

HTH,

Jacquii.

Ok, I just poured gas all over me and I have a match. lol. It's just not there. When I do as you mention, these are the sections I see:

Forum
Moderation Options
Style Options
Access Options
Posting Options
Enable/Disable Features

And that's it, on both forums. I think when I installed it before I had no options to set, it just worked. That is not the case this time. I'm thinking about diving into MySQL and turning it on manually.

I've removed the mod, and put it back several times. Made all the edits......

Thanks for the reply!!

J

[PoetJA-1975]

Hmmmm - I'm not sure why the option wouldn't show.
Are you set as SuperAdmin? What AdminCP permissions are you allowed? That could be at issue perhaps.... ALSO check in Plugins & Products and ensure that the product is enabled. Other than that - I'm not sure exactly what to suggest.

Jacquii.

I am SuperAdmin and it's enabled. I would like to kow what the html code is for the admin CP, I'll add it manually and set the option. If I don't hear from the author, I guess I'll just remove it.

Niiice signature BTW. Very classy.

Woohoo!
