[wolfe]

is it possible to change the layout that shows when you click on expand like just displaying title and text no avatar etc

[Mark.B]

Just edit the vbpost_postbit template, and remove the avatar section, you can then move the username and title code into the other section.

[l3it3r]

I installed, did the edits, imported, no errors, but nothing happens. Have the .js in the right spots and everything.. is there something else to look for?

Elaborate on "nothing happens" please..

[Lea Verou]

But it's also in USERCP and search_results.. :p

So, rather than pigenholing myself, I can be ambiguous and leave it as it.

Yes but as it is I understood that you meant on showthread and I thought "how useless!" when I saw the title. It was out of sheer luck that I clicked on the title to figure out what it was. And it's a pity cause it's a wonderful idea!

Like I said, I'm open to ideas. :)

I'm a programmer, not a marketer unfortunately.

You're right, though. The name is pretty bland and uninteresting..

How to disable the avatar and signature of the user? There must be a option to do this in future versions.

Edit the vbpost_postbit template to look however you want.

[morpheusXIIX]

have you thought of adding the option to show "all unread posts"? or would that be too intensive to run?

[Tralala]

have you thought of adding the option to show "all unread posts"? or would that be too intensive to run?

My first thought on that is... why bother? At that point, why wouldn't the user just go into the thread itself?

I'm thinking this AJAX display is meant to be a preview, not a complete replacement for forum navigation.

[skooby]

Awesome mod :)

[l3it3r]

Elaborate on "nothing happens" please..

The + shows up next to all the threads, click on it, nothing happens, no errors, nothing. I uninstalled, reinstalled. still nothing. :confused:

First, verify that the files vbulletin_vbpost.js and jquery.js are in your [b]/clientscript/[b] directory. If the are, then do the following:

Activate the mod. Browse to your forumdisplay page. In your browser, right click. Select View Source. Copy and paste the entire source to a .txt file.

Attach the text file to a post here, or give it to me in a PM. I need to look at it.

[BANDiT600]

My options sets to show last post, but... When I edit any post of the thread and next try to see last post it shows me last edited post, not the last one... It happens in serach results.

[BANDiT600]

"by createdate" change to "order by id"???

Not good that this mod doesn't show last post in search result!!!

But thanks anyway...
/me installed...

And another little bug with alignment of "subscribed" and other icons, see screenshot!

Hi Magnus! First of all, I just wanted to say this is a great idea, and from what I've seen, you've implemented it very well. However, I cannot get this to work on my forums. I have determined that it is because of the style I am using, as I have tested it under the default vBulletin style and it works there. However on the style I am using, a slightly modified version of Chestnut (by Allan), no [+] boxes appear to the left of the thread titles. I have attempted manually editing all the templates and letting it do it automatically, both times to no avail. I'm not sure what it is that's causing it but it would seem to relate directly to my style. Is there anything you can suggest that might fix this?

Thanks very much!

[Dr. Bantham]

This looks like a wonderful mod, but it is not working for me. The graphic appears in my default template, but clicking on it results in opening the full thread as normal. I suspect this is a conflict with the following mod:

Change Forum Cell Colour on Mouseover (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=127515)

I really enjoy using the first mod, but would compromise highlighting the cell only without the zoned click selection if absolutely necessary. I am assuming this is the problem, however.

UPDATE
I reinstalled and used manual template edits, as I assumed this could possibly remedy my issue. This resulted in no graphic and no effect. I then realized that the images/buttons directory had to be uploaded to the custom image folder I had set up for my template. End result: same as original installation for default template (clicking on the image results in opening the full thread as normal).

[magnus]

Wait, the full thread opens, with replies and everything? That's.. odd. I don't even see how that's possible. Either way, I'd need to see it, in action, on the forum in question before I could even begin to fathom a fix.

You need to upload the image files included in the zip to your style's (chestnut) specific image directory as well. No reason to use manual edits, as the automatic ones will work just fine once the image files are put into the proper directories.

Either way, I'd need to see it, in action, on the forum in question before I could even begin to fathom a fix.What was happening was that the previous mod's mouse click reaction was taking presedence over your mod, as it was effective for the entire table cell. I removed the following snippet from threadbit template and everything works fine:onclick="window.location.href='<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']">showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$thread[threadid]<else />showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]</if>';"This was the offending code from the previous mod. I now get the benefit of your mod while only sacrificing the regional cell click sensitivity for the previous mod. The cell color still changes as I still wished it to. Brilliant mod!

Ahh.. there was another onclick event. Yea, that would definately bugger things up. Glad you figured it out, and thanks for posting the fix. I'm sure it will benefit someone else!

What if neither automated file edits or manual file edits dont work for me ?
Only default vbulletin template is working with it.. ?

Is there any statistic about % of people that uses javascript plugin?
I had a javascript menu on my site and some people complained they cannot see the menu (and they did not understand why).

My real question is what if I install this and the users can't run js?
Any error? (Display or anything else).

If they can't run JavaScript, nothing will happen when they click the [+] icon. No popups, no alerts. Just.. nothing.

Thanks for the Hack but I want to ask
Is this Hack will causes a high load on server if the forums big?

I have a Big board with more than 1000 constant users and no load issues because this mod not add extra queries

[magnus]

No, as pointed out by dbembibre above, there are no extra queries. The same query is run whether a user clicks on the thread and views the whole thing, or if they click on the expand icon.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

ok.. I bit confused:
I installed 1.2.0 and had to do manual edits as the automatic ones didn't work.

now I want to upgrade, so I can get the new features and the "auto" template edits but I'm not sure what I have to do/undo first and then upload/do for the upgrade.

just upgrading won't work right?

Remove any manual template edits you've done, then just import the new version over the old one. Automatic template editing is enabled by default.

This has been discussed. It's by design, not a bug. The framework for displaying the last post isn't readily available within the available search hooks (without semi-extensive modifications). I'm working on a non-cludgy way to implement it.

Search results, regardless of settings, will always be first post. This is normal.

There's a fix for the above error in previous posts of this thread. I'll incorporate it in a new release as soon as I can, but since it's Mother's Day weekend it will have to wait until I get back in town. :)

Installed on v3.6.7PL1...

Edit: Had to uninstall after users complained that there were graphics pic display issues when they view posts using this mod. I checked and could duplicate it. Basically, when one clicks the "+" sign and if the post has pics displayed side by side like this:

PIC PIC
PIC PIC

The post displayed with this mod didplays them like this:

PIC
PIC
PIC
PIC

If you display the same post by just clicking it normally, then they display properly as they always have.

Unfortunately, had to un-install because of this. Nice mod though...

Thanks....

Sounds like you're not using default templates. Appears to me you need a nowrap="nowrap" option somewhere.

Ow my god.. I installed this hack but when I went to my forum (called forum.php, I've got vbadvanced installed) I got this error message at the top of my forum (above the banner):

Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /forum.php(536) : eval()'d code on line 51

When I click on a section it's gone, guess it only shows it @ forum.php. Big problem is, when I uninstalled it, it still shows the error message! How the hell do I get rid of it?

I hope someone can help me! Thanks in advance...

Ok, first things first:

If you've uninstalled the hack and still receive the errors, it's safe to assume this hack isn't the culprit.
This hack does not utilize the exec() (http://www.php.net/function.exec) function.
For the life of me, I can't fathom anyway that this hack would hook into vBadvanced. It's very static on where it hooks into.

My money is on another hack causing this problem or a vBadvanced configuration error. I personally do not use vBadvanced, so my knowledge on such is limited to non-existent.

Thanks for the quick response mate. I just know for sure that installed this hack caused the error message. One minute before I installed it I was browsing my site without any error messages. Next minute I decided to install this hack and one second later I got the error message. Sounds like too much of a coincidense to me.

My PHP skills are really limited. Do you perhaps know what this error message is and how to get rid of it?

Not really, there's not much I can tell you other than find the code trying to call an exec() function.

This modifications requires no code changes. If you uninstall it and delete the files, the hack is gone, period. If you are still receiving errors, the problem lies elsewhere -- it cannot be this modification.

Apparently, it lies within a vBadvanced modification or vBadvanced itself. I'd start there.

[BozzaJos]

I'm positive it happened while installed this hack. Perhaps it's coz I've got vbadvanced installed, modified my forum files so they stay within the vbadvanced columns and coz I've renamed index.php to forum.php. I don't know what it is but I do know that it's been 3 weeks since it was the last time I changed something to my forum and now that I did it's given this error. If I check my forum @ 15:00 and everything is correct and then I installed your mod @ 15:01 and suddenly I get the error, I just don't see any other explanation than it's your mod who did it.

Btw, it's not that bad. I found out that it's only showing the message to admins but it's still a weird error lol. Unfortunately, I know nothing about php or this error message so I don't have a clue how to fix it.

[magnus]

There could be a dozen other explanations.

Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /forum.php(536) : eval()'d code on line 51
Line 536 of index.php (forum.php) is:
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('forumhome_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;

The plugin causing your error is using the forumhome_complete hook. My hack does not use this hook.

Check in Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager. Sort by Hook Location. Look for any plugins hooked into forumhome_complete -- one of those is the problem. Make note of each product name, then using the Product Manager, disable each of the noted hacks one at a time; checking to see if the error disappears. Once it does, you now know which hack is the culprit.

Let us know.

Hi, you've created nice hack!
Is there any way to limit chars or words in $post[message] @ vbpost_postbit?

Advocate1's suggestion brings up a good point, but I think it is something that should be user defined in the CP rather than admin defined. It really gets into user preference and usability. I also don't believe an update like this would affect loading time or bandwidth usage.

Thx Magnus, sometimes I just have hot air in my head.... working fine now!

[SemperFideles]

OK, first of all, really great MOD!

I have only one problem:
1. I set the option to view the Last Post when the user clicks the + sign.
2. When I'm in forum display, the + sign pulls up the Last Post.
3. When I use the Today's Posts or New Posts features (which uses search.php), the + sign works but it displays the First Post

Is there a way to fix the search results? Does the search results even use the threadbit template? I can't even find in the templates where your Product has modified the Templates. I tried manually editing them as indicated in your instructions and the + sign appeared but didn't work. I unedited the files and wen back to automatic updating of the Templates and it works but as indicated above.

[SemperFideles]

Incidentally, I agree with others that it would be awesome if there could be two plus signs - one for the first post to dropdown and another for the last post to dropdown.

This is by design. The search results SQL doesn't contain all the necessary information to display anything other than the first post, so regardless of what you've selected within the AdminCP, anything involving the search results will always display first post.

It's something that may possibly be worked in later. If you wish to change the template layout, the template you're looking for is vbpost_postbit. As for trying to find changes made by the automatic template edits, you can't. They are done on-the-fly.

I'm sorry magnus to bother you if you covered it previously. I tried searching for the term I was using.

When I click on Today's Posts, the results display not only the title of all the threads (if I click on the thread titles I'm taken to the first post). But, each thread listing also contains a clickable icon to "View Last Post".

Thus, it seems that the search results are, in fact, returning the Thread ID and Post ID of bost the first and last posts for each thread in the list. I'm not sure I understand, then, when you say that it doesn't contain "necessary information" to display anything other than the first post.

When I click on a particular forum for instance, it seems like the only thing I see are the thread title (which I can click on for the first post) and a clickable icon to "View Last Post". Thus, like search results, the forum listing seems to contain thread id and post id for each thread.

Why, on the one hand, does the forum listing contain the information needed while, on the other, the search results do not?

Why, on the one hand, does the forum listing contain the information needed while, on the other, the search results do not?

There's no (easily) available way to pull the first unread postid within search. So, to prevent accidental breakage, search results were restricted to firstpostid. Yes, they can display lastpostid. It was just simpler, at the time, to just force forstpostid. My logic was that someone searching was looking for something specific, and generally, that information would be found in the first post.

If you want lastpostid results within search, edit the Make changes to 'threadbit' template plugin.

FIND:
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'search')
{
$postidtype = 'firstpostid';
$titlephrase = $vbphrase['first_post'];
}

REPLACE WITH:
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'search')
{
$postidtype = 'lastpostid';
$titlephrase = $vbphrase['last_post'];
}

This will only work for firstpostid and lastpostid. It will not work for the first unread post.

Thanks for this awesome mod -- clicks install

[macshrine]

Love it, great job! :)

[Terrasoft]

Its weird, the hack works great but not in the search feature. The pluses are there, but when they are clicked on...nothing happens. I installed it and had to do the manual template edits and nothing...any suggestions?

You're using the latest version and you had to use manual template edits? That's weird..

Browse to your search page, click view source, and make sure the javascript is being loaded. That's the culprit 99.9% of the time, especially with manual edits.

[Terrasoft]

Hmm let me check that then. Ill also try turning manual edits off and let it work from there.

So yeah, I am still having this error even though it calls the javascript and all the correct automatic templates are being run. Any clue?

[Terrasoft]

I wonder, Im using the thread prefix hack which also requires you to edit the threadbit template, would this affect it in any way?

[gim]

Very very very goooood! :D

[Magnumutz]

Very nice... I just installed and i , and my users, love it.
*Clicks Install*

[Terrasoft]

Magnus, with the PM I sent you...I gave you a name of a hook that was being run under search_results_query_thread under the Thread Prefixes hack. Well I just tried disabling that hook and now it works perfectly, however if possible...itd be awesome to be able to use both of those hooks as the prefix in the search area is an extremely useful resource as well.

[keyness]

That's a great mod! Thank you!

Nice Hack :up:

But i have a error.

If i klick at the "+" then open the Ajax window and approx. after 1 sec change the view to the completely Thread.

Whats wrong?

Greeting Indy

[nymyth]

2 quick fixes ( you dont have to follow them to have it working) - I made these changes to get a valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

1. In the plugin "Make changes to 'threadbit' template"

Look for this:
$vbulletin->templatecache['threadbit'] = preg_replace($find, $match[0] . $match[1] . ' ".(($thread[\'open\'] != 10) ? ("<img id=\"vbpostimg_$thread[' . $postidtype . ']\" src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_button]/expand.gif\" onclick=\"return vbpost_get($thread[' . $postidtype . '])\" onMouseOver=\"this.style.cursor=\'pointer\';\" title=\"' . construct_phrase($vbphrase['click_here_to_read_the_x'], $titlephrase) . '\" />") : (""))."', $vbulletin->templatecache['threadbit']);

replace with:
$vbulletin->templatecache['threadbit'] = preg_replace($find, $match[0] . $match[1] . ' ".(($thread[\'open\'] != 10) ? ("<img id=\"vbpostimg_$thread[' . $postidtype . ']\" src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_button]/expand.gif\" onclick=\"return vbpost_get($thread[' . $postidtype . '])\" alt=\"' . construct_phrase($vbphrase['click_here_to_read_the_x'], $titlephrase) . '\" />") : (""))."', $vbulletin->templatecache['threadbit']);

I took out the onMouseOver and changed TITLE to ALT.

can you make it apear only to members not to guest??

is it make load on server or not???

[tokenyank]

Hey Magnus, I love this hack and have had it on for a few days now so I'm sad to report that I've had to take it off...

I've been getting reports of people getting:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetch_coventry() in /home/mumsonli/public_html/forums/usercp.php(499) : eval()'d code on line 18
errors.

Their user groups are members and super mods whilst admin and mods do not get the error..

This manifests when you want to change your usertitle, when you click save, you get the above error, but what you've just 'saved' has saved anyway so the information is still being written to the DB despite the fatal error.

I've tried both the creation of the plugin and the repair of database as suggested back in May but to no avail. Unfortanatly, I've had to disable it and hope for a fix, though considering that this seems to affect the minority, I'm not holding my breath! :(

Thanks anyway!

[tokenyank]

Curiouser and curiouser!

Ok, with product enabled, error triggered.

Product disabled, error goes away but drop down still works! :confused:

In my product management, I've disabled your mod, simply because I didn't want to unisntall it should a fix come out. Thinking that disabling it would make it unusable (the clue is in the name! :) ) AND since the error went away, I thought all was good... Until I checked active topics and the + is still there and it is still clickable and it still shows the posts it was supposed to

So, I have an error that is intermittent not only for me, but for those that installed it, AND when disabled still runs!

You code hardcore mate! ;)

Seriously though, ermm... What's the story? :P

[magnus]

tokenyank, be sure you're disabling the entire product not just a plugin. If you're disabling a product and it's still active, suffice to say, you've got a larger problem elsewhere. The processing of plugins/hooks/etc. is handled exclusively by the core of vBulletin.

As for the original problem you're having, a few others have reported the same error however it's completely random (so far) as to who is affected. It's one of those things I can't really track down unless I could replicate the error and attempt to debug it.

It has no rhyme or reason, it's across a couple different vB versions, different mods installed on each forum -- no discernable pattern. I'll keep looking, though.

[tokenyank]

I figured it was intermitten as it has been installed for days now and this is the first time a member said anything.

And, since it doesn't effect me, I never caught it so I can't say for certain that it hasn't always existing, but I'm pretty sure that it didn't.

The only other AJAX thing I have installed is ajaxReg - Ajax Registration, with instant field checking (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1282214). But since they don't share any templates or whatever, I doubt there's a conflict.

[alessai]

have a suggestion :

an option to make this hack work in certian grups only because the thing i use hack that limit the views for the visitors and the problem through this hack they can see the thred and the limition hack doesnt catch them

Well, off the bat, it doesn't appear you've actually installed the modification. The files jquery.js and vbulletin_vbpost.js are not present in your /clientscript/ directory. Nor are any of the associated image files located in the correct directories.

So, either you didn't install the modification correctly or you removed it. Both which prevent me from being able to find out what the problem is based off the description of "nothing shows up".

The mod is great!

However it doesn't work with the "Hide Links From Guest" mod:

Right off the bat, I'd say you'd just need to run whatever regular expression match/replace he's probably using against the returned message value.

It's something I can look at when I get some time.

I don't quite understand really. Anyway you can give an example. Would that require a plugin for me to add? I'm ok with finding things in the code, but I'm not sure what I should look for as far as a regular expression match/replace.

[magnus]

In one of the plugins for the link hack, you'll most likely find a bit of code that does all the processing you're looking for. Something that uses a regexp to match for http then replaces it with the specified phrase.

Taking that bit of code, and placing it in vbpost_ajax.php where the message text is retrieved should yield the desired result.

Would what your talking about be in this plugin somewhere? This is the plugin that hides the links in the posts. If it is in here can you point it out for me and maybe tell me where to put in the vbpost_ajax.php file? I would really appreciate it.

Yep, that looks like it. I had hoped it would've been contained within a function, as that would've been ideal -- however, that will work.

Try this:

Open up vbpost_ajax.php, look for:
//if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' AND

Above it, paste the following:
if ($vbulletin->options['hlfg_global'])
{
$groups = explode(',',$vbulletin->options['hlfg_groups']);
if ($vbulletin->options['hlfg_posts'] AND !$vbulletin->options['userid'] OR $vbulletin->options['hlfg_posts'] AND (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $groups) OR $groups[0] == 0))
{
if (!$foruminfo['forum_hlfg'])
{
$pattern = '/(<a.*?<*a>)/';
$message_array = preg_split($pattern, $post['message'], 65535, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE | PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

if ($vbulletin->options['hlfg_misc'] == '')
{
$vbulletin->options['hlfg_misc'] = "\e";
}

$ugids = explode(',',$vbulletin->options['hlfg_ugids']);
if ($ugids[0] == '')
{
$ugids[0] = '0';
}

foreach($message_array as $message_key => $message_value)
{
if (!preg_match("/" . $vbulletin->options['hlfg_misc'] . "/", $message_value) AND (!strstr($vbulletin->options['hlfg_users'], $post[musername])) AND ($post['userid'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR !$vbulletin->options['hlfg_own']) AND (!is_member_of($post['usergroupid'], $ugids)))
{
$message_array[$message_key] = preg_replace("!<a[^>]*(http|www|mailto)(.*)</a>|\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b!siU", $vbulletin->options['hlfg_info'], $message_value);
}
}
$post['message'] = implode("", $message_array);
}
}
}

Keep in mind I haven't had a chance to test this, so I'd suggest backing up your original vbpost_ajax.php. Let me know if that works, if not, when I get some free time I'll install the links hack on my test forum.

JQuery offers a compressed version that you can download from the Google Gods here >> http://code.google.com/p/jqueryjs/downloads/detail?name=jquery-1.1.3.1.pack.js

jquery-1.1.3.1.pack.js works the same as the clientscript/jquery.js in the download for this hack, but it's only 1/3 the size. Just rename jquery-1.1.3.1.pack.js to jquery.js and overwrite the clientscript/jquery.js that came with this hack.

The js file in the download is made for humans to read, develop and debug; the code I linked to is for production. If you're feeling saucy, you could even trim that one down a bit. When you go through 300 gigs a month, every little bit counts.

You're probably using a custom image directory. You'll need to copy the images to that dir as well.

Read through this thread. You'll find the information you're looking for.

[Coldhands]

Okay, well, now I no longer get the error... the UserCP page loads fine... which is obviously a step in the right direction. :up:

But, unfortunately, I'm back where we started in that the expand/collapse button that appears in the title of the subscribed threads doesn't actually do anything. Clicking on it has no effect. It still works fine in the regular forum view, though.


I do also see the same thing that was mentioned earlier, with regards to spoilers and my particular spoiler BB code. When clicking on the expand/collapse button in regular forum view, if the post that is revealed has a spoiler in it, the state of that spoiler is set to "show" instead of "hide." The spoiler button works fine, mind you. It's just that it should default to "hide" the spoilerized text rather than show it... just like it appears in the regular post.

Here is my BB replacement code, if that helps any:

<div style="margin:5px 20px 20px 20px">
<div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom:2px">
<input type="button" value="Show" style="width:50px;font-size:10px;margin:0px;padding:0px;" onclick="if (this.value=='Show') {this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName(' div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.value='Hide';} else {this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName(' div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display='none'; this.value='Show';}">
</div>
<div class="alt2" style="margin: 0px; padding: 6px; border: 1px inset;">
<div style="display: none;">{param}</div>
</div>
</div>

FWIW, I am running vBulletin 3.6.4 on this particular forum.

Would it be possible for you to make me a temporary account on your forum and PM me the details? I'd like to check this out first hand if possible.

Any word on the spoiler fix? I'm having the same problem, and I don't want to use the hack until I've found a work around to the spoiler bug. A lot of my board's first posts contain spoilers due to punchlines and large amounts of text (and the occasional nsfw pic:erm:). Has anyone fixed / found a different spoiler hack that plays nice?

TIA,

C

I would need a link to your forum in order to tell you exactly what's wrong. But, most likely it's due to the vbpost_ajax.php file not being located in your forumroot.

http://yoursite/vbpost_ajax.php

Also, verify that you're using the default vBulletin style.. to rule out any style related issues.

Great Mod, many thanks... works really slick.

Only problem I have is that I have also added the Who Has Read This Post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=122594) mod.

If I click the thread title to view the message in full the registers the fact that the message has been read. However with the collapsible thread, this does not register the fact that the messages have been read by the user.

Most of my messages do not contain replies, it is basically a read only board for disseminating information so whilst the collapsible threads are really useful for readers, I as the admin want to see what is getting most interest.

Would it be very easy to incorporate some form of interoperability between the mods? possible switchable for those that hadn't installed the Who Has Read mod.

Many thanks... great work!

Edit> Actually did wonder if setting update read count might help but it unfortunately doesn't, presumable it is the step of open the thread view that initiates the steps to register that the user has read the message.

Most of my messages do not contain replies, it is basically a read only board for disseminating information so whilst the collapsible threads are really useful for readers, I as the admin want to see what is getting most interest.

Would it be very easy to incorporate some form of interoperability between the mods? possible switchable for those that hadn't installed the Who Has Read mod.

Many thanks... great work!

Edit> Actually did wonder if setting update read count might help but it unfortunately doesn't, presumable it is the step of open the thread view that initiates the steps to register that the user has read the message.

Keeping in mind that this untested, go ahead and try this.

In vbpost_ajax.php:

FIND
//if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' AND
if ($vbulletin->GPC['ajax'])
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('vbpost_postbit') . '");');
}
else
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('vbpost_postbit') . '");');
}
}

?>

Add ABOVE:
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
$time = TIMENOW;
$ipaddress = IPADDRESS;
$threadid = $threadinfo[threadid];
$userid = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
$db->query_write("
REPLACE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "whoread
(userid, threadid, dateline, ipaddress)
VALUES
($userid, $threadid, $time, '$ipaddress')
");
}

Let me know if that works for you.

Magnus,

I have tried your update and yes it now registers the read message against the user.

Many thanks for this, both your mod and the who has read mod are ideal for my board.:up:

[hichew]

I couldn't have said it better than dbembibre did above me. By default, this does not add any additional load on the server.

[hichew]

ahhh.. seems like this not the problem.
i think the "Welcome headers - Improve community registration rates" is the problem.
let me try it again, and get back to you guys.

thank you

[yoyoyoyo]

this is not working on my new forum - I tried it with and without the automatic template edits. When I click on the + it does not open the post with ajax, it acts as if you clicked the post and takes you to the thread itself. I had it working in another forum, with pretty much all of the same mods installed and can't imagine what the conflict might be now. I double-checked and all of the files are uploaded to the proper places...

any idea where to start looking?

[afmarko99]

Simple but so awesome. This brings a whole new way to surf my forums.

Thanks a ton.

[yoyoyoyo]

I did some testing and on my forum this does work for guests who are not logged in, but if you are logged in and click on the + then the graphic ajax thingy starts spinning but then it takes you to the actual post. Any ideas on how to fix that?

[Booost This]

I just installed it on my forum, followed the directions and no dice. I don't even get the (+/-) signs.

Any clue? I don't think it can be that hard to screw up the install? It said everything installed ok?

[gforce75]

5 stars in my book! Works perfect. Demo links also check it ...

[Trana]

Has anybody gotten this to work in the VBA CMPS recentposts module?

Thanks!

[Jaxel]

This mod is GREAT! But it completely kills the AJAX title editing on my forum. I cant do inline title editing with this script. The form field for the edit comes up, but when I change the title, I get a JavaScript error. It also breaks the locking mechanism... anyone else have these issues?

[Newfarm]

Have / had the "undefined function: fetch_coventry() " issue as well, added the custom plugin that hooked into usercp. Now it doesn't crash anymore, but it doesn't work for subscribed threads either. Great little hack though :)

[vitrag24]

does it increases loading time & load on server?
anyways,nice mod.

[Jaxel]

ANyone who has this mod installed on their forums... would you mind checking to see if your AJAX title editing and locking is working correctly?

[Mark.B]

reply this query please.

[AWJunkies]

This is an awesome mod I love it. I found a place that the icon shows up but the function does not work. usercp.php file under new subscribed threads. is there a way to get this to work as well? Also if the thread is an event it grabs the first post and not the event which is technically the first post. Is there a way to fix this to work to grab event details instead of post below it?

[supramati]

I Just loved it! Thanks a lot!

[Jaxel]

Yup I've been using this for many months and those features are all fine.

Thats weird... I disabled all other mods on my forums and defaulted to the original templates and it still doesnt work for me.

[mulesnx]

Has anyone got this working with vbadvanced? Is it really hard to do this?

[adam75south]

i installed the mod on my board, but only works with the default template. the rest it doesn't hurt, but just doesn't show up. guess i'll just do the manual edit.

[magnus]

It's strange it didn't work on a custom template. The only way I would assume it didn't work is if the custom template is rather heavily modified. Either way, yes, manual edits would be your only option at that point. It's not really a big deal, it's a quick/simple edit.

[adam75south]

ok my problem was the default button location for my main style was different...so i uploaded the buttons in that directory. the plus signs show up now, the post drops down....but i have an error showing up.

Warning
: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
/includes/class_postbit.php(296) : eval()'d code
on line
15

not really sure what that means. when i went to class_postbit.php and looked at line 15 it said "exit"
if (!isset($GLOBALS['vbulletin']->db))
{
exit;
}

the good news is it shows up in both firefox and IE and not just one of em.

i attached a screenshot for you.

any ideas would be greatly appreciated...and if it's already been addressed then i'm sorry, i jumped to the last page.

Ok, according to that error it's having trouble with line 296 in class_postbit.php.
($hook =& vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('postbit_display_complet e')) ? eval($hook) : false;

So it's apparently having issue with something hooked into postbit_display_complete. Thing is, my modification does not use this hook. The problem isn't directly linked to this modification, there may be a conflict issue with another hack you're using, one that modifies the postbit in some way.

In the meantime, try this. Browse to AdminCP > Collapsable First Post using AJAX Options. Look for Forum Exclusion List, in the text field put 0. Save it, and see if that fixes it. Honestly, I don't think it will, but it can't hurt.

only when i expand.

if i get around to it i'll start uninstalling my mods until i find the one it's conflicting with.

You're most likely using a custom style with a custom image directory. Make sure you've uploaded the images to your custom image directory.

A handful of people have experienced this problem and unfortunately no one has really stuck around long enough to help resolve it. I cannot replicate this in any of my test scenarios.

First off, what version of vBulletin are you using?

[Cristi_XP]

vbulletin 3.6.8

[Mark.B]

I've been using this for a while and it works well, only thing I have spotted is that when enabled (either with automatic edits or manual ones), it pushes things like the attachment "paperclip" from the top of the table cell to the bottom.

Where this can look a bit of a mess is when combined with a thread rating...they get sort of squashed up together for some reason.

Using manual edits I moved the code and thought I'd cracked it, it was fine in Firefox but then the hack didn't show at all in IE so I put it back how it was.

Minor, but niggly.

[magnus]

Automatic or manual edits are irrelevant in display issues. You can simple edit the template to make it look however you want. Look for vbpost_postbit in your templates and edit away. :P

Hi magnus.

It's not the actual postbit preview box that is the issue...it's the placing of the little "expand" image in the threadbit that's the issue. When it's there, any attachment icons get pushed down to the bottom right rather than top right, this then seems to impact on any threadrating icons by squashing them up next to everything else.

I managed to stop this happening in Firefox but then the expand icon didn't show up at all in IE on getnew/getdaily (which is where it's most needed on my site), but was still ok on forumdisplay.

As I say, it works fione, it's just altering some formatting somewhere in threadbit, and try as I might I can't work out what.

[Mark.B]

I think I may have cracked it....the manual code needs putting in a different place.....just testing now.

[magnus]

Ah, I think I know what you're talking about. Try adding style="display: block;" to the <img> tag displaying expand.gif.

Let me know if that fixes it.

sorry, i've been busy. i'll definitely post back up if i get around to finding which mod is conflicting with this one. i've just kept it disabled for now.

Thanks...doesn't fix it though. It puts the expand.gif onto a line of it's own, seems to add a line break.

Could you please add a "next post" and "previous post" Button? So I can skip through all posts, without goin in ?
Would be awesome.

I second this and would love to see it work for the News Archive module as well.

Sorry in case this has already been asked, but is it possibly to make it so that expanding a thread marks it as read when there is only a single post in it?

Go into forum and plus/minus signs are there next to the threads, and on some threads when I click the +/- it expands and colapses perfectly, and on other threads I get a little spinning RED arrow, and still on other threads I get NADA?

Just checked in UserCP and get the same type of things...some work, some red circle, some NOTHING.

I'm willing to bet the Post Thank You hack is conflicting. Try setting that modification to disabled (no need to uninstall it). Let me know if that fixes it.

[exportforce]

thx-mod is not conflicting, have it too :)

[baz_kingfish]

Magnus,
Thank your for responding. Exportforce is correct, disabling the TY hack did not fix the problem. But I do have more info for you to consider. We migrated our forum to vB from Snitz using the vB import tools. I got to wondering if somehow the posts that were migrated somehow got set to the same time stamp or something and your hack possibly could not tell which one was first. So, I went into the AdminCP and changed the Hack setting to "Last Post", and everything works fine!!! I set it to "First Unread Post" and again, works fine. But when I changed it back to "First Post", the intermitent working/non-working problem I described in my post above occurred again.

The good news: I can leave it on "Last Post" without confusing my users.
The bad news: There is still a Gremlin! :(

I hope this additional information helps you identify the problem as this is a terrific feature! :up:Thanks,
KF

Hrm.. that is very strange. Have you tried rebuilding your counters?

AdminCP > Maintenance > Update Counters

Try rebuilding anything having to do with threads/posts.

It's odd that, of all things, the default behaviour is the one acting up..

[baz_kingfish]

That did it! :up: Not sure which one :D...but I ran all of the counter/rebuild updates for threads, forums, and posts. The only issue now is dealing with the members being disappointed about their Post Count being reduced. yeah, I know I can hard plug them in, but they'll just get wiped out the next time I have to rebuild!

Magnus,
I know there have been alot of post regarding "First Post" vs "Last Post" which is why I am sure you put the option in the AdminCP, but I've got an idea about that. What if your hack provided for the + sign on the left to show the "First Post/First Unread", and then somehow get the little arrow icon in the "Last Post" field/box to the right side of the thread name to perform the EXACT same functionality, but show the "Last Post". This would allow the user to view BOTH before entering into the thread. vB is already showing the last post in that field, it just needs to somehow get thrown into your hack display table on click. Then you could simply provide a "GoTo" button if they wanted to go to the last post like is currently the case when you quick that little blue arrow.

Just a thought...is that possible?

I love the hack..donation is forthcoming...

I'm currently asking my users if they want to keep this functionality and to which view they would prefer (opened a poll) I'm sure they will want to keep it even if it's just for the search results.

Installation went like a dream, uploaded files, ran xml file, configured through options, worked first time....but with one little problem of the images not showing....had to copy the button images to my custom style folder (error on my part, but may want to clarify that for beginners).

Thanks for a great mod.

can you make for 3.7 beta3 and 4.
i've installed that mods to my forum( im using 3.7.4). But as i said i hade an error only. but it works normally except that

[magnus]

The foreach() error experienced by a few seems to be related to various YouTube (and other video site) embedding hacks. I, personally, do not use any hacks with this functionality -- however, now that we've found a common link, I'll install one of the known offenders into my sandbox and see if I can replicate/fix the error.

i have the same problem. when passivevid is enabled, i get
Warning
: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
/includes/class_postbit.php(296) : eval()'d code
on line
39

:(

Ok, here's a fix. This is for passiveVid - (YouTube, Myspace, Google...) Not BBCODE :D (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=150761) users ONLY.

In AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager, look for passiveVid - Showthread Replacement under Product : passiveVid and select [Edit].

FIND:
foreach ($passiveVid as $k => $v) {
if ( $this->registry->options['passiveVid_sites'] & $v['id'] ) {
$this->post['message'] = preg_replace_callback($v['string'],create_function('$matches',$v['replacement']),$this->post['message']);

}
}

REPLACE WITH:
if ($passiveVid) {
foreach ($passiveVid as $k => $v) {
if ( $this->registry->options['passiveVid_sites'] & $v['id'] ) {
$this->post['message'] = preg_replace_callback($v['string'],create_function('$matches',$v['replacement']),$this->post['message']);

}
}
}


Disclaimer:
Note that this was tested on my development board. I do not actively use passiveVid (or any video embedding tools) so I cannot be held responsible for any undesired effects that may occur as a result of making these changes.

That being said, the changes simply check for the existence of a variable. There are no destructive functions being added or implemented, however, I just like to cover my rear. :)

Looking forward to a 3.7 compatible version :up:

[magnus]

Have you tested it with 3.7? I had reports of it working fine. I, personally, do not use 3.7 nor do I have a sandbox for it (yet). I generally wait for RC/Gold/Final versions before porting things over.

I have it on 3.7 Magnus, and it seems to be ok.

Hello.

I have Installed this Mod in vB 3.6.7 PL1 and Works Ok and also don't Interfere with other Mods.

I've Found what seems to be a Bug of this Mod in vB 3.6.8 PL2:

When seeing the FORUMDISPLAY Template, this Mod Interferes with the AJAX Functionality of other Mods such as MGC ChatBox EVO, Mood Manager, and Even with the AJAX Functionality of vBulletin in the Matter of Editing the Titles of the Threads directly in the FORUMDISPLAY View (If You're Moderator or Administrator, if You Double Click on the Title of the Thread listed in this View, the Cell will Turn into a TextBox were You can Edit the Title and the Press Enter to Apply the Changes); all of this Mods and Other AJAX Functionalities different than this Mod ones, will Not Function and will Create an Error Page Message quietly Displayed in the Status Bar of the Internet Explorer Navigator!! :confused: :(

When Disabling this Mod all AJAX Functionalities of the Other Mods and of vBulletin in this Template View return to Normal, so the Code Error is in This Mod!! :rolleyes:

Once I Detected a Similar Error in other Mod, and was Because of the JavaScript File that Served the Purposes of that other Mod, so the JavaScript Files of this Mode are Perhaps the First Source the Coders Should Check to Correct this Bug!! :rolleyes:

Check that Solution in: "Ajax Fisheye Menu (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1375877#post1375877)", perhaps it could Help.

Would be Nice that other Forumers that Use this Mod in vB 3.6.8 PL2, and of course the Author magnus, could Confirm if this Error is also Happening in their Boards; other possible source for the Error (perhaps in Addition with the Java Script Files), could be in the Plugins interfering with one or more of the other Mods affecting also the AJAX Functionality of vBulletin that I mentioned!! :rolleyes:

I Hope You Can Fix this Problem. I had to Disable this Mod in my vB 3.6.8 PL2 Board, because I had to Choose between the Great Features of it and the Other Mods and Even the AJAX Functionality of Editing the Titles of the Threads Fast!! :(

My Best Regards!! ;)

I'm sorry, but I cannot seem to replicate this action. I have absolutely no problems whatsoever with any default AJAX functionality while having this modification enabled.

All testing was done on vBulletin 3.6.8 PL2.

It's entirely possible that there's a conflict with another modification, but unfortunately, it's extremely difficult for me to track that down as it's a guarantee that we do not use the same modifications. The only modification used on my forum not coded by myself is vBSEO.

OK. I Appreciate Your Help. If I Get it to Work by Making Tests on Changing the Plugins, I'll Share the Answers With You!! ;)

What Really Worries and Confuses me, is that I Have Installed in my vb 3.6.8 PL2 Forum almost All the Mods I've Installed in my vB 3.6.7 PL1 Forum (were the Mod is Working without a Problem)!! :confused: :(

My Best Regards!! ;)

Will there be any new developments?
