Cyb - Last Post Info Enhancements

[Valter]

Info:
This will enable you to show several latest posts for selected forums instead of standard last post info. Number of latest posts is set for each forum separately in Forum Manager. Be noted that this executes 1 new query on forumhome/forumdisplay per forum where you choose to show 2 or more latest posts. In combination with "Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=122996)" this can really improve your forum listing look.

[valendono]

Sorry, I use 3.8.0 gold edition.. but first time install its running good.. 2 or 3 minutes after that, my forum got freeze.. cannot open.. till I restart httpd and disable this hack / mod.

[Valter]

Try to not enable this in a lot of forums.

Every forum with last x posts enabled requires one more db query to be executed.

[christicehurst]

Where do you change the number of latest posts?

[ss20]

Cant find the 1st screenshot settings (number of posts)

[Valter]

It's in Forum Manager > Forum Options.

[Theater]

Installed, thank you for your continued excellence in vB mods.

[sontran]

I have a small issue here: when a thread do not have status icon, it still try to display an images in front of the thread and the result is the "x" icon for blank images.

Ok, I found a way to fix this. If Cybernetec can, please update in your code so it can help others


For those who installed the code to fix the bug that display "x" icon when there is no icon for a thread (appear in IE): just go to Style Manager, open cyb_lastpostinfo_bit find the code
<if condition="$show['icon']"><img class="inlineimg" src="$icon[iconpath]" alt="$icon[title]" border="0" /></if>

And replace it with
<if condition="$show['icon']"><if condition="$icon[iconpath]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$icon[iconpath]" alt="$icon[title]" border="0" /></if></if>


Cheers

this seems not work with vb3.8.2

[Jorgemen]

I installed the mode in vb3.8.2 but I cant see the first image of Screenshots section, and in my home page I see the last post.....any update for this mod?

[Valter]

Check Forum Manager for that options...

[Hornstar]

This works perfect! Thanks much for this. I am now using this instead of the split forum home hack.

Will you update this for vb4 when it comes out?

[whitetigergrowl]

Great as always! Thanks!

[Makc666]

<i>P.S. I already posted this one in 3.7 thread but didn't get any reply, so I decided to mention about this one here also.</i>

A bug was found here...

When you move a thread which is displaying now on forum home from one forum to another, then after move you will see in old forum the Thread with incorrect URL and incorrect URL for last post for that thread.

Best seen on screenshots I attached.

[ricardoNJ]

this seems not work with vb3.8.2
I agree. No work in vB3.8.2

[Makc666]

I agree. No work in vB3.8.2
This one works with 3.8.2 version.
If you don't have enough knowledge working with your custom templates, please, don't tell it doesn't work.

[ricardoNJ]

This one works with 3.8.2 version.
If you don't have enough knowledge working with your custom templates, please, don't tell it doesn't work.
That's right. Tell me how do that, please!

[Makc666]

That's right. Tell me how do that, please!
I checked the code, so I can say that it must work even on custom style.

Just in file in functions_forumlist.php you must have line:
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('forumbit_display')) ? eval($hook) : false;

But if you are using 3.8.2 you have it 100%.

So tell me now how did you setup this product and what and WHERE settings for it you made.
Step by step.

Also it will be nice to check if there is no other products on your forum which use (can use) hook "forumbit_display"
<hookname>forumbit_display</hookname>

[ricardoNJ]

I'm using another skin or style in my forum. (http://www.arteforos.com/index.php)

Well, I just did:

-Import XML file (as product) through AdminCP: Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]


After that, I did not do anything about the "setup". And then I did not see the product in my forum.

[Valter]

Just go to Forum Manager and tell the product what you want it to do for you.

Hey add-on, I want you to show me X latest posts for category Y.

And magic will happen. Refreshed forum index will show you just what you have asked.

I got it..... ;)

[ricardoNJ]

A question: can I put this mod in the bottom of my forum? I think is better !!

Per example:

Tread: PRESENTATIONS: Post: Hey, Hello by anyuser

PRESENTATIONS: Hey, Hello by exempluser
PRESENTATIONS: Hey, Hello by anyuser
PRESENTATIONS: Hey, Hello by exempluser
MOD CHANNEL: Any Help? by xxuser
MOD CHANNEL: Any Help? by Cloon
PRESENTATIONS: What'sup by Userwww

Something like that, in "stair"!

I Think that this is "obviously" necessary to have this kind of mod!

[PGAmerica]

I am having a problem with the "last post" icon, but only on threads with multiple pages.

When I am on my main forum page and click on the "Go to last post" icon, it takes me to the first post in a thread and then after a 5 or so second delay, it takes me to the last post.

This happens when I search for the thread as well.

Is there a way to make it just take me to the last post without the delay?

[Valter]

It happens with or without this mod.

Scrolling to desired post is done after some page elements are loaded.

Depending on server speed start of the thread may be shown for some time...

[PGAmerica]

But when I go into the specific forum, this does not happen.

For example, when I am on the main forum page, the link to that last post is as follows:

http://myforums.com/4136-women-mentoring-women.html#post384065

However, when I go into the forum itself, the link to that last post is now this:

http://myforums.com/4136-women-mentoring-women-11.html#post384065

As you can see, the 2nd link actually refers to the page #. Is there any way to make it do it on the primary forum listing too?

[Valter]

I don't know how it works with seo tools, but original links leads to the same in both, index and forumdisplay:
FORUM/showthread.php?p=581418#post581418

[PGAmerica]

Well, let me turn off SEO and I will test that theory. BRB

[PGAmerica]

Hmmm, it seems you are right. My problem is NOT connected to this mod.

Thanks for helping me iron this out.

[Makc666]

v1.3 - May 27. 2009.
Thanks!

Very much appreciated!

[ulitka]

I agree. No work in vB3.8.2


see my screenshots... I have no luck to get the mod settings in the bottom of Forum manager -> Edit forum...

[Reeve of shinra]

I've been wanting a mod like this for a very long time! I am looking forward to installing it and trying it out!!

All is good :) thanks for the mod

How to trim the lastposter entry ?

I would like to only show the first 15 characters of the lastposter entry. Could anyone tell me how I can achieve that? thank you.

[Valter]

You mean username or Thread title?

Usernames are not trimmed, and titles are trimmed as they are without this product.

Forum Listings Display Options > Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters

[lange]

You mean username or Thread title?

Usernames are not trimmed, and titles are trimmed as they are without this product.

Forum Listings Display Options > Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters

Yes. I mean Username. Username are not trimmed.

[Valter]

You can not trim usernames with the current version and it's not planned to add such feature. vBulletin's LastPostInfo also does not do this.

[Skydiver10]

Thanks for this mod! Awesome addition to the: Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1925047#post1925047)

Be noted that this executes 1 new query on forumhome/forumdisplay per forum where you choose to show 2 or more latest posts.
This is causing 20 queries on my forum index. Some of them take 0.01 seconds, others take 0.1 - 0.2 seconds. This is too much for my busy board.
I had to turn this off, but its a shame, because my users and I really like this enhancement.
Isnt there any way to reduce queries and loading time?

[GoD2.0]

For big forum at one point it runs an absolutely strupid query, that blocks forum loading. In my case the query left joined tread and user on username and lastposter respectively, wich caused mysql to do " Copying to tmp table " on and on. Here is an example of such a query:

SELECT thread.forumid, thread.threadid, thread.title, thread.lastpost, thread.lastpostid, thread.lastposter, thread.iconid, user.userid
FROM vb_thread AS thread
LEFT JOIN vb_user AS user ON ( user.username = thread.lastposter )
WHERE threadid >0
AND visible =1
AND OPEN !=10
AND forumid

Try to not enable this in a lot of forums.

Every forum with last x posts enabled requires one more db query to be executed.

I have a big forum 4k+ posts daily...

:-( I think I better stay away from this one...

Could use some help here, I love this mod, I currently have it installed on two of my forums. On one of the forums in the section I have it enabled, the line seems to go away that splits last posts and threads... can anyone please offer a solution. Thank you!

This is causing 20 queries on my forum index. Some of them take 0.01 seconds, others take 0.1 - 0.2 seconds. This is too much for my busy board.
I had to turn this off, but its a shame, because my users and I really like this enhancement.
Isnt there any way to reduce queries and loading time?
Due to the above, I still was not able to turn it on again. Please fix this.

Installed and works in 3.8.7
however one issue - the mod strips the username html markup from appearing on forumhome display listing. any help? thanks

[Crossbow]

I seem to have a problem using this: Exclude forums (comma separated ForumID list)
When I add the forum ID # say 1,2,3, it still picks those forums up. What we are trying to do is put some RSS feeds in a new forum but we do not want the last post mod to pick it up as it floods the box with all RSS feeds. If there a cure for this problem on why its not excluding the new forum?

Thanks in advance.

I know the last reply was 2 years ago, but it's marked as Supported so i'll try...

How do you make the usernames show up with their group color?

EDIT - Nevermind.
