Lucky Thread

Lucky Thread

This hack redirects the user to a various thread when they click "Lucky" button on the navbar. This is like Google's lucky button. Let's see what is your lucky subject.

[kaptanblack]

Thanks

[Snake]

Many thanks for the release!

[yahoooh]

can be depend in usergroup?

[semauae]

thnx

I want to choose the luky thread from the new threads only

can I ?

[Hornstar]

Just wondering, will this try and send a normal member into a staff only section (but give them the no permission error) OR will it only send them to forums they have permission to view in the first place.

[blastup]

i like this idea.. is there a way it can be turn to include just the thread id..just a group of threads that it will display random from .. it would be to much of a hassle to then to exclude all of the categories. let me know asap thanks

[Mazinger]

Does this work on 3.6.8?

does not work for me on 3.7.b3.
product installed, navbar changed - no problems at all. but when i click on lucky thread in my navbar then all is see are my smilies. changed location for lucky thread in navbar - still the same. my other members can confirm it.
in acp i disallowed some forums and afterwards all usergroups were unselected. tried to select _ without luck. when i click on save i see unselected usergroups again. very strange.
product disabled.

Same issue. Worked right once, then stuck on smilies

[binevi]

i got same problem too. If it works properly that would be great hack ;)

[halkum]

this needs to be fixed or scrapped.

[vanpelt]

It works for me. I've called it 'Lucky Dip". Thanks for the mod.

This is not working for me on 3.7.1

I imported the xml, did manual template edits. For one thing, nothing shows up in navbar. Second, the vboptions > luck thread area does not save my settings. I check the admin, mod, super mod and member usergroup. Click save. It refreshes, then nothing is checked.

Also, the plugin is enabled/active. On top of that, if I manually add the link on forumhome side column, it shows up. However, clicking the link takes me to the smiley list page instead. VBSEO conflict?

[aykolandforum]

thanks..

[Chadi]

I can confirm vbseo is not causing this as the link still redirects to smiley list page when vbseo is disabled.

Anyone else have this problem?

[Opserty]

Try this...


AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager

From the list look for:
Lucky admin_options_processing [Edit] [Delete]
Click [Edit].

Change the PHP Code (the bit in the big box) to:
if (is_array($settings['lucky_group']))
{
$settings['lucky_group'] = implode(',', $settings['lucky_group']);
}
It should work, I hope.

Thank you. Unfortunately it still redirects to the smiley list.

[Opserty]

Make sure you re-save the settings for the modification in vBulletin Options. It works for me on 3.7.1

[binevi]

<defaultvalue>2,5,6,7</defaultvalue> that gives permission to some usergroup

what i done is i put all the usergroups number and save it and than import is as a product.

try to install attachment if it doesnt work i cant say anything else ;D

anyway it works for me properly

[Opserty]

binevi did you try the instructions I provided? If you did, did they work? (Your method won't allow you to change settings for this product in future).

There is an error in the code in one of the plugins.

Edit the 'misc_start' code within the plugin manager and replace with this:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'lucky')
{
if ($vbulletin->options['lucky_onoff'])
{
$wol_can_view = is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,explode(',',$vbulletin->options['lucky_group'])) ? true : false;
if ($wol_can_view)
{
$excludedforums = '';
if ($vbulletin->options['lucky_forum'] !== '') {
$excludedforums = ',' . $vbulletin->options['lucky_forum'];
}

$forumpermissions = array();
foreach($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forum) {

$forumpermissions[$forum["forumid"]] = fetch_permissions($forum['forumid']);

if (!($forumpermissions[$forum["forumid"]] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) AND !$vbulletin->options['showprivateforums']) {
$excludedforums = $excludedforums . ',' . $forum['forumid'];
}
}
unset($forum);

// get rid of initial comma
$excludedforums = substr($excludedforums, 1);

if ($excludedforums != "") {
$excludedforums = "AND " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.forumid NOT IN ($excludedforums)";
}

$lucky_threads = $db->query_first("SELECT threadid, dateline, visible FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE NOT ISNULL(threadid) AND visible = '1' $excludedforums ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
header('Location: showthread.php?t='.$lucky_threads['threadid']);
}
}
}

If you want to know what I've changed, you'll see a new " . TABLE_PREFIX . " contained within this section of code if ($excludedforums != "") {
$excludedforums = "AND " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.forumid NOT IN ($excludedforums)";
}

I hope this helps someone :)

Thanx = Now works wonderfully on 3.7.2 PL1
Thanx ATAKAN :)

Jacquii.

[yingzhou]

interesting!!!

[Chadi]

I don't know what happened but I'm still getting redirected to the smiley page. It was working fine until today when I noticed it happening.

I applied osperty's method, did not work.

When I originally uploaded the template, I first changed all reference of the word "lucky" to "stumble" instead as we Christians do not believe in "luck".

Anyway, template is called "stumble" in the template list as it was and should be.

The code in the plugin is this:

if (is_array($settings['stumble_group']))
{
$settings['stumble_group'] = implode(',', $settings['stumble_group']);
}

The template called "stumble" has this

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="misc.php?do=stumble">$vbphrase[stumble]</a></td>

[Chadi]

Would appreciate help on this. Thanks.

[Chadi]

Would appreciate any help on this.

[vithorius]

This is an interesting Mod, but I see that there is not much support from the coder, right...?!? :confused: :(


I would like to install it, but it would have to have some way to disable some of my sub-forums... (I really would not like to have Classifieds on the "Lucky Thread")

[Chadi]

Uninstalled since it does not work.
