Add Last Poster to Social Groups list

[Lynne]

For some reason the lastposter is not shown on the Social Groups list. To add it, open the socialgroups_grouplist_bit template and find these lines:

$group[lastpostdate]
<if condition="!$show['detailedtime']">
<br /><span class="time">$group[lastposttime]</span>
</if>ADD right underneath:

<br />by <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$group[lastposterid]">$group[lastposter]</a>That's it!


edit: There is a cool idea from Mark.B (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=48656) in post 7 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1769152&postcount=7):
Add this to the end of Lynne's code to get a "Go To Last Post" link too...
<a title="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=discuss&gmid=$group[lastgmid]#gmessage$group[lastgmid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" border="0" /></a>Note there is a space at the very start.

Did you do something else too because my group listings does not look like your screenshot at all even without the "last poster" bit.

[Theater]

Maybe they should have put you in charge of the Social Group display, Lynne. Thank you and installed.

I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything. That is the full group list at group.php?do=grouplist

Great idea, Mark! I hope you don't mind, but I added your post to the first post in this thread so people don't accidentally overlook your idea.

Sure, that's fine.

[Jasem]

[s8glive]

[Mark.B]

[s8glive]

no like show a worable link.

[Lynne]

no like show a worable link.
You need to explain yourself better. The link does 'work'. So if you want it to work some other way, you need to explain how that is.

Nice little extra, thanks Lynne

[Canadians360]

Simple, neat, works like a charm, should have been a default for the social group list displays.

Love your work for social groups, they really take social groups from a nice feature to a great one.

[EidolonAH]

Brilliant, I am using the social groups in-place of buying the blog mod on Nurture, this little extra is perfect, thank you for the share.

[/HTML]no like show a worable link.

I think he may have been looking for a setup like this perhaps...

Find as before this following code...
$group[lastpostdate]
<if condition="!$show['detailedtime']">
<br /><span class="time">$group[lastposttime]</span>
</if>


But this time add the following code ABOVE...
<a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=discuss&amp;gmid=$group[lastgmid]#gmessage$group[lastgmid]" style="white-space:nowrap" title="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]"><strong>$group[trimdiscussion]</strong></a><br />

This adds a linked name of the last discussion's title to the discussion in the group list.

@Lynne: hope you dont mind I posted this.

Screenshot attached bellow.

[Lynne]

I don't mind at all. I didn't understand his question, so I couldn't help him.

[Xencored]

Thanks Lynne Great mod :up:

I suppose others might also want to go all the way with this formatting idea and make it exactly match the other areas with similar info. Instead of the above, try the following:

Replace the entire block. Remove everything between and including:

<if condition="$show['lastpostinfo']">

and it corresponding ending:

</if>



Then, replace it with the following:

<if condition="$show['lastpostinfo']">
<div style="text-align: $stylevar[left]">
$group[lastpostdate]
<if condition="!$show['detailedtime']">
<span class="time">$group[lastposttime]</span>
</if>
</div>
<if condition="$group['lastposterid']">
<div style="text-align: $stylevar[right]">
<phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$group[lastposterid]" 2="$group[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>
<a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=discuss&amp;gmid=$group[lastgmid]#gmessage$group[lastgmid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a>
</div>
</if>
<else />
<div style="text-align: $stylevar[left]">
<div style="text-align: $stylevar[left]">
$vbphrase[group_created]
</div>
$group[lastpostdate]
<if condition="!$show['detailedtime']">
<span class="time">$group[lastposttime]</span>
</if>
</div>
</if>



This will give the information the same text alignment as similar blocks in other templates and also matches the presentation for the create date of the group if there are no messages to display. Additionally, it uses the standard phrases instead of hard coding "by" in the template.
