Ok here is the first problem :S

I was using your old version (here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=127750) from vB3.6 till vB3.8 RC2 and it was working fine. Now I upgraded to this new version overwriting the old version.

When I went to Forum Manager to check 'Allow threads to have a description' it was Off by default and when I trying to enable it, I'm getting this db error...

Did 2 times but still same :S

[TrucLinh]

Note: If you can use your db utilities you only add this column 'descriptiondefault' into your forum db

BE SURE TO PERFORM A BACKUP OF YOUR DATABASE BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Please run the following query to add it:
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `descriptiondefault` SMALLINT(6) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1';Or ---------------------------------

Works well for me and other members.

When I installed this, within the description it says "total guests visisted this forum is x1, x2 and x3"

I assume this is a conflict with another plugin?

Thanks.

[zefyx]

Thanks, one thing I did notice however is if you have any other modifications that go into the forum controls within the admincp (vbseo, etc) the "Enable / Disable Features" will not house the Forum Description permissions, it will be listed at the very bottom of the page, in my case in the vBSEO settings.

Thanks :)

[DeMonViTo]

thx

[klaush]

Thanks for this.

The version for 3.7 is working with 3.8; your update shows nothing above the editor.

Any idea?

[ShawneyJ]

is this meant to appear in vbulletin options somewhere? i try 3.7 and 3.8 of this hack and i cant find it anywhere to enable it to work.

[movslow]

Installed and working.

Thanks.

Did find a small bug so far.

If you create a new thread, and enter in the title as well as description as provided by this mod and hit post it shows just fine.

If you create a new thread, enter title and description and select preview, it reloads with a preview of the post, but the description disappears and you have to re-type it again.
:confused:

. Added Thread Description CP (news) This is an excellent mod, however it does need an admin-set maximum field length so that people don't post entire paragraphs as the description.
. Added Thread Description maxlength Option (news)

Thanks that seemed to work. Thanks for the useful mod.
One problem I did just run into, the description isn't carried over when you preview the thread.
. Added description field to Post Preview New Thread (news)

But atleast its working now.

<blockquote>First off - very nice job. Works flawlessly.
I do have some comments though..

The animated arrow is getting old very very fast.
I'm not sure if the "Description" needs more attention than the actual title.
Blinking and/or moving stuff attracts spams - it is the perfect spot ;D

Therefor I made a few modifcations and chained it to "Canned Replies"
to restrict RF's from going nuts with it. - This way, Mods/Admin can set
"emphasis" on certain Threads .. (see attachment) w/out turning the whole
board into a disco.

It might be worth thinking about implenting "restrictions" into a possible
updated version ;D

[nexialys]

please consider grabbing all your hooks related to "global_start" and make a single plugin with them, because they are ALL THE SAME, do not seperate each element for a plugin, this make the engine too heavy for no reason.

Its doing the same thing to me as it was to everyone else its not showing the box to type the descriptions I hope it shows up in like an hour like everyone said it will..

NVM it works mon; I did a forum and thread rebuild and it worked

[drsli]

I had to exclude this function in one forum and re-allow it again, then it worked in every forum immediately. vb3.81.

Many thanks for this useful enhancement. :)

[Myago]

Thanks, installed ;)

[DPtheGod]

This is definitely an interesting hack, and I plan to play around with it. Thanks! :)

There needs to be instructions for manually inserting template edits, i ain't getting the thread description box either, and no i will not use vbulletin default style!

The description box wasn't showing up for me either but I did a forum and thread rebuild (like Drocr) and then it worked.

Nice hack, by the way.

Works great on my 3.8.2, thanks!

However, ended up unvalidating the HTML code. Easy fix:

[Welshy2008]

Where and How exactly - do I find the "Change Default Thread Desciption to 'Off'", Please?

Many Thanks.

[Silver740]

*** IF THIS IS NOT WORKING FOR YOU ***

1. Go to "Maintenance" on the left pane of the AdminCP.
2. Click on "Update Counters"
3. Click "Rebuild Forum Information".

That worked for me after I thought this mod was a fluke.

[static-skillz]

Would it be at all possible to add a way to show thread descripting in meta deta?

<meta name="description" content="$threadinfo[title] - $thread[description]">

I'm trying a few things out to see if it'll affect SEO on my community.

[Alisa Lindsay]

Great Mod. Thank you.

Does the contents of the description get searched in the forum search tool or is it just displayed?

Great mod, but I had to uninstall it. It seemed to conflict with something in Internet Explorer. Perhaps it was due to some combination of mods I've installed, but the issue with IE went away when I disabled this one.

Thanks and Regards,

Alisa

Gostaria de saber uma solu??es pois quero usar esse mod.

Obrigado...

[djpatch]

I got a problem, and maybe it's a setting matter, but I'd like to know whether there's a solution or if I'm doing something wrong. After installing the mod, everything looked ok, and the description option appeared, but after posting, when I try to edit the description, it just doesnt. I ok the post modification, yet the description stays as before. Any way to fix that?

[Leo Brazil]

hey will you be considering to upgrade for vb4? cause i dont wanna loose this mod

[davew]

I'd love to see this for VB4 too please :)

[Welshy2008]

Me too, I would like to continue using this Fab Mod on vB4.0.2 too. :p

[mcyates]

I'd love to see it in vb4 also. Why didn't the peeps at vbulletin just include this anyway?

[Leica.Robbiani]

Hi there,

Ok, I got this one work on vb4.0.2, just a hard way.

After installation I disabled all plugins with the hook global_start, because they're throwing warnings to use the class vB_Template instead of fetch_template(). I'm not savvy enough how to do this, it seems to be very tricky.

After disabling the plugins I did the template edits manually, as they must be edited the templates threadbit, showthread, search_results_postbit, newthread, editpost, threadadmin_editthread.

As an example for the threadbit template:

Just look for the place where you want the template edit have, I would have the thread description under the thread title. So the place to search in threadbit was:

<a class="title<vb:if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"> threadtitle_unread</vb:if>" href="{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}, {vb:raw pageinfo}, 'threadid', 'threadtitle'}" id="thread_title_{vb:raw thread.realthreadid}">{vb:raw thread.threadtitle}</a>
</h3>

After this I added:

<if condition="$vboptions[description_active]"><vb:if condition="$thread[description] != ''">
<span><i>{vb:var thread.description}</i></span><br />
</vb:if></vb:if>

It's a little code reading for do it in all the templates, but it works for me. Don't worry, death is also not for free, it takes life.

L.R.

[RvG2]

should be by default on vB 4

Installed and now not work for me.
Mod active but:

- Edit - I see Description, but when I edit & save... nothing saves. Reply Edit = Description is empty.

Default or modifed style not matter - not works

vb382 + vbseo330

Fix it ok:

Forums & Moderators/Forum manager/Choose Forum ID need show description then save again --> show ok

[marshal_ramdev]

thanks

[cspielman]

Is there a version of this mod for vb 4.0.x?

And Can it show more than one line of the thread description?

[Alecsmith]

excellent work :)

A modification i was looking for :)

[cspielman]

Is there a version of this for vb 4.0.x? Not being able to show thread description along with thread started is truly annoying.

[Montecristo]

any version for 4.0.7?????? For me no works............ ;=(

[CrystaStarLight]

I wish we had a mod like this for 4.0.x This is an essential feature which should actually be a default feature.

[Booyakan]

What can I change in the xml file so the thread descriptions can be links?

[Khalid-B]

any chance for vb 4.1.3 ??

thank you

[XenonKilla]

I believe I have found a bug with this hack. I didn't see any other users posting up about this so perhaps they just haven't noticed so I will explain what I've found.

Let's say you have a thread that has been soft deleted. While at the forumdisplay where you can see all the threads in that forum, you can see your soft deleted thread, and you can either click on VIEW or MANAGE and there is the little trash can icon. If you click on MANAGE then it brings you to the EDIT THREAD page where you can manage the thread.

But now instead of clicking MANAGE click on VIEW which will bring you into the soft deleted thread. Now in the very first post click on the TRASH CAN ICON that is in the bottom right corner. Now this should take you to the EDIT POST page that is similar to the EDIT THREAD page that manage took you to, however it keeps taking me to a basically blank page that only shows my header and footer but nothing in the middle.

Now if I leave my browser on this page, go into AdminCP -> Plugin & Product System and DISABLE the "Thread Description - Add to Admin Edit Thread Template", then go back to the window where I was viewing the half blank page and hit REFRESH, it now shows the Edit Thread page like it should.

So the issue is something to do with the "Thread Description - Add to Admin Edit Thread Template"

Any ideas and can anyone else confirm if they're having this issue or not?

BTW I am using vB v3.8.7b1 and I have tried using the default style which still gives the same results.

[Blueracer66]

Installed! Works perfectly with vBulletin 3.8.7 PL3. Thank you for sharing this, I gave it 5/5!
