Bump or de-bump thread w/ usergroup permissions

[ringleader]

DESCRIPTION
This is a slightly modified version of "Bump thread and make thread older" by Kentaurus, and "Bump Threads/Make Threads older" by Andreas, who both provided the basis for this work.
It allows the administrator to set which usergroups can use this feature, and can limit the number of times it can be used on a single thread by anyone using a thread bump limit.

Be kind - it's my first attempt at making one of these, and the documentation for each version of vbulletin is confusing.

OPTIONS INCLUDED:
An option called "Bump thread" allows a user with the correct permissions set to make the last post in a thread equivalen to the current time.

An option called "make thread older" or "debump" allows a user with permissions set to make the last post in a
thread one day older.

Details
1 Product XML (1 Plugin, 12 Phrases (+admin help topics), 1 template re-write if you have Andreas' Template Modification System installed (ignored if not))

Only single Thread bumping/de-bumping is supported.
I do not intend to upgrade this product, but may do if I find the time.

INSTALLATION:
Unzip BumpThreads.zip
1. Upload bitfield_bumpthreads.xml to your ./includes/xml folder
2. Import the product-bumpthreads.xml
3. If you do not have Andreas' Template Modification System installed, you must do template edits by hand. These are found in the templateedits.txt file.
4. Upload bump.gif and debump.gif to your images/buttons folder.
5. Set Usergroup permissions for the product.

UNINSTALLATION:
1. Uninstall the product.

USAGE:
1. Set individual usergroup permissions to turn on the ability to Bump/De-bump a thread for each usergroup (default is no ability to access this function).
2. Limit the number of times a thread can be bumped/de-bumped by each usergroup (in case you want normal users to be able to bump a thread only once, but for moderators it can be many times).

Database alterations carried out:
1. Adds columns 'bump' and 'debump' to your 'thread' table to count the number of times a thread has been bumped.
2. Adds columns 'bumpthreadspermissions' and 'bumpthreadslimit' to the 'usergroup' table to track who has permission to use the feature, and how many times per thread.

Because, eh, everyone else does it.

[Symmetrical?]

second :D

[ringleader]

Woot!
Fast response/installation!
Hope it doesn't unintentionally kill your board or anything (though it shouldn't be able to, there's always the nervousness).

Feedback/suggestions welcomed and appreciated, btw.

[LCN2007]

This is great will instal when i get home

[LCN2007]

Doesnt let me set user groups im getting a Database error anyone else?

Can some help me figure it out please.

[Hornstar]

One feature I would die for is inline moderation of bumping debumping as that would allow me to bump several threads at once!

What vbulletin version are you running?
What error are you getting exactly?
When are you getting the error/What are you trying to do when you get it?

This (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=150341) one does that (for moderators only) ;)

not what im after tho. I am after this, but with inline moderation (where you can tick the threads, and then click the drop down menu and select bump thread, or debump thread)

[ringleader]

Here you go then.

I had updated Andreas' mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=97165) for my own boards to include inline (mass-)moderation along with individual thread moderation.

I will release it pending Andreas's permission.
It's all automatically installed with a product.
PM me your email address and I'll give it to you (can't attach to PM's).

I've attached screenshots of the two functions it adds, so you're sure it's what you're looking for.

[NFLfbJunkie]

So do both the same thing? Bumping/Debumping can be done via the thread options drop down and the inline moderation?

[ringleader]

No, sorry.
I didn't realise that screenshot was so misleading! :o

The moderator can bump/debump on showthread (i.e. bump just that thread)
or
The moderator/admin can mass bump/debump threads on forumdisplay using inline moderation.

The inline moderation on showthread is for moving/deleting posts, not threads, so it isn't used.

[LCN2007]

Im trying to set the Usegroup Permissions.
I attached Photos.
Thanks for your assistance.

[ringleader]

Hmm, wrong phrase name there.

I re-uploaded the bitfield_bumpthreads.xml file.
Grab the new one and overwrite the one in your ./includes/xml/ directory.
Let me know if that solves your issue.

[LCN2007]

It lets me set the User permissions but its inop in the thread tools just shows two people images but no text and when i click one it says invalid function.

One other thing if you set the limit to 0 is that unlimited?

It's set to the default 'reputation' image.
The phrases are not installing, it seems.

Go to 'Languages and Phrases', 'Add New Phrase'.
Type -> Global
Product -> bump or de-bump threads
varname -> bump
Text -> Bump Thread

And add another phrase with the varname 'debump'.

[ringleader]

*update: the SQL queries in the original product were not installing phrases and table columns correctly, thereby causing the problems some people experienced. Please re-download and install again if you are experiencing problems.

Apologies to all those who were caused hassle.

[pollon]

I've reinstalled it and I've added those phrases but when i click on the link it gives me "invalid function".

[ringleader]

Do you know how to add a plugin?
There's one missing from yours.

Go to Plugins and Products System -> Add Plugin
Product: bump or de-bump threads
Hook Location: threadmanage_action_switch
Title: Action Switch
Plugin Php Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'bump' OR $_REQUEST['do'] == 'debump')
{
$handled_do = true;
if (!$threadinfo['threadid'])
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('invalidid', $vbphrase['thread'], $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));
}
}


I swear that'll sort it for you.
...and thanks for even bothering to troubleshoot this.

[LCN2007]

I think its working now thanks for your help but i wont be sure until my site goes live ill let you know.

[misuse]

Is it possible to debump more than 1 day at a time? Like 10 days? Thanks for the hack!

[ringleader]

Is it possible to debump more than 1 day at a time? Like 10 days? Thanks for the hack!

Yep, but you would have to change some code in the plugins as it is hardcoded into it.
Any bit that says 86400 means one day (in seconds).
So if you set it to 864000 that would de-bump by ten days.

But then that would mean you would always be de-bumping by that many days.

[y2krazy]

Just wondering, but is this accurate:

Not Supported
Or, do you plan to provide support for this (as it seems you have been doing since it's release in this thread)?

[ringleader]

Just wondering, but is this accurate:

More of an indicator that I might forget about it, likely won't upgrade it, and probably won't be able to solve any weird errors people may potentially get that I've seen on other mod release threads.

[dutchbb]

Nice update of this hack, I made some buttons to go with it, hope you like them:

[ringleader]

They're gorgeous! Wish I had the talent to make stuff like that.

[turfy]

Installed.

[LCN2007]

How do we install the buttons?

[ringleader]

I updated this mod to include everything to date in one zip folder.
Installation instructions are better defined, too.

LCN2007: In the template edits, replace reputation.gif with bump.gif and debump.gif to use the above buttons (only needed if you have already installed this product).

[LCN2007]

thanks ill try that

In vB 3.6.8 when bumping or debumping threads I get

vBulletin Message
Invalid Action Specified

Any help will be appreciated - Also where's the download that includes the bump/debump function inline?

Thanx

Jacquii.

ps - GARS, vBSEO, vBAdvance installed...

[lasto]

The bump/de-bump limit for this thread has already been reached. No more are allowed

on my very 1st bump as well

[ringleader]

In vB 3.6.8 when bumping or debumping threads I get


Can you check in your Plugin Manager that the one under Product : Bump or de-bump Threads called "Action Switch" is enabled. Go to edit it, and make sure it is active.

I have no plans to put the two mods together at the moment, but if anyone else would like to take this code and extend it, feel free to do so.

The bump/de-bump limit for this thread has already been reached. No more are allowed

on my very 1st bump as well

Depends on how many bumps you set to be allowed in the particular usergroup you are in.
To change the number of bumps OR debumps allowed for a thread, scroll down in the usergroup settings and change it there.

[PoetJA-1975]

Can you check in your Plugin Manager that the one under Product : Bump or de-bump Threads called "Action Switch" is enabled. Go to edit it, and make sure it is active.

Hey RINGLEADER - thanx for the response... I did check the Plugin Manager and the Action Switch is enabled... But still the same error when bumping or debumping threads: Invalid Action Specified

I'm not sure what exactly to do with this... Could it possibly have a conflict with vBSEO or GARS? Anyway - perhaps you have another suggestion?

Thanx,

JAcquii.

btw - sent you a PM about the inline moderation hack ;)

[ringleader]

It might be a conflict with vbSEO alright.
The bit that error refers to looks for a threadid when the thread is bumped.

Can you post your URL format (an example like "forum-category/867-thread-title.html#post4029") and I will see if I can provide you with a workaround for this that works.

[PoetJA-1975]

hmmm - I was thinking it could have something to do with vBSEO
At anyrate - the JPiC rewrite rule is [forum_title]/[thread_title]-[thread_id].html

Thanx AND Thanx for the email as well ;)

Jacquii.

I'm looking for moderator-only mass debumping of threads (using the check boxes). Could you please post the mods you made in that thread? Andreas only does it within the thread.

Thank You

Hey RINGLEADER - still waiting - is there a chance you've found a workaround for vBSEO?
Thanx,

Jacquii.

[ringleader]

Hey RINGLEADER - still waiting - is there a chance you've found a workaround for vBSEO?


Oh sorry, I was out of the country there for a while :o

Try adding this plugin as a bit of a workaround instead:

Product: Bump or de-bump Threads

Hook Location: showthread_start

Title: Bump or Debump: Display Option

Execution Order: 5

Contents:

$vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD'] = str_replace(
array(
'$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</option>',
'$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</label></div>'
),
array('
$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</option><option value=\"bump\">$vbphrase[bump]</option><option value=\"debump\">$vbphrase[debump]</option>',
'$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</label></div><div><label for=\"ao_bump\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"do\" id=\"ao_bump\" value=\"bump\" />$vbphrase[bump]</label></div><div><label for=\"ao_debump\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"do\" id=\"ao_debump\" value=\"debump\" />$vbphrase[debump]</label></div>'
),
$vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD']
);


...and undo the template edit for SHOWTHREAD template.

Geat MOD, installed and loving it. - thx

Cheers, glad you like it!

[PoetJA-1975]

Thanx for your help - I just couldn't get it installed correctly - could be because of a mod I'd 1st had installed on vB 3.5.4 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=97165&highlight=de-bump) --- Incredibly it still works correctly on 3.6.8 PL 2 ---- Just one idiosyncrasy - there's apparently a missing phrase for inline_bump/debump or some such - but it works fine even with vBSEO installed.

You may wanna take a look at the code - Anyway - I appreciate you taking the time to find a resolution ;) Much appreciate and thanx again for the inline modification - Works like a gem ;)

Jacquii.

[TazeredBlackMan]

Hey I installed and then uninstalled this product. Now when I go to make a new usergroup I get a SQL error saying Unknown column 'bumpthreadspermissions' in 'field list'

Any idea?

[ringleader]

Hey I installed and then uninstalled this product. Now when I go to make a new usergroup I get a SQL error saying Unknown column 'bumpthreadspermissions' in 'field list'


Run this SQL query and it will fix it:

ALTER TABLE usergroup DROP bumpthreadspermissions

Obviously, if you have any table prefixes, use it before 'usergroup'.

[nyunyu]

This is a very useful hack. However what i had in mind was, if people wanted to bump, they had a button to bump the thread, but then the moderators will have to click ok to approve the thread bump so that way it wouldn't get abused. Anyway this can be done?

Thanks. Reserved until replied.

Yeah, that is entirely possible.

But if you're limiting the number of bumps a thread can get in total (not the number of times a particular person can bump it) as this does then the feature can't be abused the way this is written.
It's only a bump anyway, there's no reason for it to be moderated I think.

[RFViet]

thanks, installed.

[inspector]

I'm having the same problem as PoetJA-1975. I'm getting the Invalid Action Specified error when I try to bump a thread. I checked and made sure the plugin was active.

I'm not sure where to place that bit of code above.

[inspector]

Can anyone help me with this? Please?

[inspector]

Please offer some help.

[inspector]

I guess there is no support for this plugin. Uninstalled.

[mrsbuzzy]

I am getting this error:

and a VBulletin message which states:
Invalid Action Specified

[koby411]

I installed this and tried using it.
It bumps the thread on thread view.
But on the forum index, it doesn't update the last post info with the bumped thread..

How do I make it do that?

[CoryNickerson]

Is it possible to incorporate a timer for this? Admin can set bump times for each specific forum. This will limit people from repeat bumping on high traffic forums like mine.

I've seen other sites have timers at the top above post if your author. Counts down by Hours: Minutes until your next bump time is available.

:)

[ringleader]

Presumably your forum index is cached, since it updates on Showthread.php
Clear the forum index cache and that should do it.

Is it possible to incorporate a timer for this? Admin can set bump times for each specific forum. This will limit people from repeat bumping on high traffic forums like mine.

Ooh nice idea, but a little too complex for me to implement just right now.

This hack limits the number of bumps that can be done in a threads lifetime, if that's any help.
i.e. if you set the limit to 5, then the thread can be bumped OR debumped only five times no matter who does it.

There's a hack out there that limits the bumping to the thread author, however, if you'd prefer that. Still no timer though!


Anyone who's interested: it says above that this is not supported. I come back in here only when I can, so be patient or don't bother.

How to set for unlimited bumps?

How to set for unlimited bumps?

Actually, I never thought of that. :o
But it could be a vulnerability (somehow).

Just set it to a ridiculous number and that will work ;)

[Bubble #5]

Is this compatible with 3.7? :confused:

[ringleader]

Is this compatible with 3.7? :confused:

Haven't a clue.
I don't know anything about v3.7 to know whether it would work on it.

Since hooks aren't removed, however, I would say that it does.
The placement of the code to show the 'bump/debump' bit in SHOWTHREAD template will more than likely have changed a little.

[bada_bing]

Any chance this works for VB 3.5.x ?

Thanks

[ringleader]

Any chance this works for VB 3.5.x ?

Thanks

I don't think so. I think the hooks used are not available in that version.

You could check by installing it - a simple uninstall will remove it if it doesn't work for you.

[bada_bing]

Has anyone tried this in a 3.5 version yet. Id rather not test on a production site...

[justchil]

Very cool! I'm glad you added the usergroup permissions into this hack :D

Bonjour,

Voici une petite modification :

Search in SHOWTREAD :

<a href="$firstunread"><strong>$vbphrase[view_first_unread]</strong></a>
</if>
&nbsp;

After, add :

<if condition="$permissions['bumpthreadspermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['bumpthreadspermissions']['canbump']">
<td class="tcat" align="$stylevar[right]">
<div class="smallfont">
<a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bump&amp;t=$threadid" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/bump.gif" border="0" alt="$vbphrase[bump]" /></a>
</div>
</td>
</if>
<if condition="$permissions['bumpthreadspermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['bumpthreadspermissions']['candebump']">
<td class="tcat" align="$stylevar[right]">
<div class="smallfont">
<a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=debump&amp;t=$threadid" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/debump.gif" border="0" alt="$vbphrase[debump]" /></a>

Merci apdcanari, that's quite a nice idea!

[mrsbuzzy]

It would be GREAT if this were available for 3.7

[KEKforce]

Just tested it on vb3.7.0. rc4 and works great!

[justchil]

I'm not having any luck with 3.7.0 "gold" or whatever the stable release is called. I tried reinstalling with "allow overwrite" checked. I think this may have something to do with reverting my templates although I did the reinstall AFTER reverting my templates.

[ringleader]

I'm not having any luck with 3.7.0 "gold" or whatever the stable release is called. I tried reinstalling with "allow overwrite" checked. I think this may have something to do with reverting my templates although I did the reinstall AFTER reverting my templates.

I haven't a clue about the new 3.7 file structure.

It may be that the fundamental part of the code will not integrate with the new showthread file (especially with all those social networking things going on in vbulletin now).

The bad thing is I may not install 3.7 myself because of the social aspect.
It's not for all sites.

Still, I'll see if I can work out this problem for you on a local install of 3.7 - can't promise when though, I just quit my job this morning and it's more hectic than ever ;)

[justchil]

No rush... I can take a look at it a little closer when I have time. I disabled the social feature... installed it mostly for the new album/gallery/photo deal. I just wanted to try everything as far as an install/reinstall and a quick look over before saying it didn't work :D

[dutchbb]

Works without a problem on 3.7 gold.

Make sure you revert ALL templates AFTER upgrading to 3.7, then install this hack again with plugin overwrite and template edit. Should work.

[Hornstar]

For limit for bumping and de bumping, if I set it to 0, is that 0 or unlimited?

Also, any chance for an update, so we don't have to do any template edits?

[1quick1]

Installed on VB 3.7.0 and it's working fine. The only issue I've found is it doesn't update the forumhome page when a bump happens. For it to show the correct time/date I have to go into the ACP ---> maintenance --> update counters --> Rebuild Forum information

Does this get done automatically with a cron job or is this something that I will have to manually run everytime I bump some threads?

For limit for bumping and de bumping, if I set it to 0, is that 0 or unlimited?

Also, any chance for an update, so we don't have to do any template edits?

I installed this and the 0 setting is actually 0. So you have to go in and actually set a number. Since I wanted mine to be unlimited I just set it to like 150 or something and it works now.

[ringleader]

For limit for bumping and de bumping, if I set it to 0, is that 0 or unlimited?

Also, any chance for an update, so we don't have to do any template edits?

Yeah, zero essentially deactivates the mod for all users until you activate it for them, unfortunately. I will look at setting this in a vboptions of some sort in future.

I had this installed, but when I upgraded to 3.7 I decided to remove it because it is for 3.7. I only have items installed that are made for the version I am running. Now when I try to update any user group I get this error "Unknown column 'bumpthreadspermissions' in 'field list'". To uninstall it I did the uninstall product. How can I fix this so I can update my user groups again.

Works on my 3.8.0 gold board.3.8.1 dont working... :(

after upgrade from 3.7.x to 3.8.1 lost form for permisson in "usergroup permission" :(

[ViViD]

Hello ,
Is there any update for this ? It does not work with 3.8.x

[longgsm]

this mod more good if it the same here: http://forum.lowyat.net/Music&AudioRelatedAccessories

Ex: limit times bump thread/day - three bump/one day, ...

[ArnyVee]

Here are some different buttons that I'm using. They are in .png format so it just looks cleaner against other backgrounds. So, you need to rename to "bump.gif" and "debump.gif"

Enjoy :D

[dutchbb]

Nice buttons!

[ArnyVee]

Thanks :)

Has anyone been able to figure out the 'stays unread' problem / bug ?

My members are starting to get a little annoyed by seeing these at the top of their 'unread' lists although they have already read them.

[Markos]

works on my 3.8.3 :) but what i would like is to make it buttons instead of it in the thread tools can anyone help me out ??

[ArnyVee]

Markos, the instructions are in post #69 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1460551&postcount=69) of the thread.

Good luck :up:

[Markos]

yeah thanks got it ;)

[Markos]

2. Limit the number of times a thread can be bumped/de-bumped by each usergroup (in case you want normal users to be able to bump a thread only once, but for moderators it can be many times).

so does this mean if i limit normal user group to 3 does it mean all users have 3 bumps each to that thread or 3 bumps between all the users

[Markos]

oo and one other thing does it reset after X amount of hrs

[Pvtiste]

Really good work !
Thanks for sharing...

i am using 3.83 but not working i keep getting this error that it is trying, and i get redirected to a blank screen. According to the browser window the task is done.

But, the thread isn't being bumped. It remains in the same place, no time change or location change.

[longgsm]

USAGE:
1. Set individual usergroup permissions to turn on the ability to Bump/De-bump a thread for each usergroup (default is no ability to access this function).
2. Limit the number of times a thread can be bumped/de-bumped by each usergroup (in case you want normal users to be able to bump a thread only once, but for moderators it can be many times).

Database alterations carried out:
1. Adds columns 'bump' and 'debump' to your 'thread' table to count the number of times a thread has been bumped.
2. Adds columns 'bumpthreadspermissions' and 'bumpthreadslimit' to the 'usergroup' table to track who has permission to use the feature, and how many times per thread.
How change limit times per thread to limit times per day ?
Please help me!

[Hornstar]

I am still surprised to see such a useful and needed function not default in vb. Now that VB4 is Gold and it looks like the developer has been inactive since Sep. it does not look good for this modification. Hopefully either the dev or another one will bring this feature to VB4.

Would love to see this for vbulletin 4!

I'm using this with the instructions on placement in post #69 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1460551&postcount=69), but has anyone fixed the fact that the threads stay as 'unread' until you have to click on "mark forums read"?
