"Find all started threads" in postbit & postbit_legacy dropdown

[Lynne]

fourat (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=247170) asked me to update his modification here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=210628) for vb4. It just adds a new option, Find all started threads, to the little postbit(_legacy) dropdown and now (in version 1.2) throughout the site.

This was just a simple plugin, but it is now a product. It was a bit more involved figuring out the variable names than any simple little plugin should have to be! Or, perhaps I was just having a bad coding day. :)

Thanks Lynn.

P.S. You did it again 4.0.0 RC 1

[Lynne]

Thanks Lynn.

P.S. You did it again 4.0.0 RC 1
Well, I'm sure it will work there too. :)

They shouldn't have added that option yet. I've seen quite a few mods released for this version.

[Zaiaku]

OH NO Lynne you just broke my board. This doesn't work on RC1 lol just kidding. :)
Nice work on this one. Especialy since its works on both postbits!

[fourat]

Thank you so much Lynne
I hope adding this mod as default to vb4 because its very useful

This does not work in RC2. There are also currently no template_hooks available for use in the template for the new dropdown. I'm going to wait until the next RC release to see if that is changed.

[I.am]

Hello, there is a chance to have this function in gold version as in the vb older versions?

Thanks

[KevinGupta]

Tagged Modification until next release :D

[Lynne]

Sorry for the delay guys. I updated this today. It really was not as simple of an update as I thought it was - sometimes figuring out variable names is a pain in the, um, well, it's not as easy as it should be! (Of course, I could be just having a bad coding day too.)

[linuxututs]

Love your Mods Lynne!

My buddy has been bragging about IPB this-and-that, etc...I'm gonna put him to shame if I can just get a couple more Mod's to do what I want. ( Or vBullettin....lol )

Thanks,

[ageurtse]

Lynne, you use $show['search'] in the if statement. are there more option's and where or how can i find these.

[Lynne]

I use $show['search'] because you don't want to show the option if search is off. If you are wondering about other $show variables, either look in the template to see which are there or do a search in your php files for $show to find all of the $show variables defined on different pages.

[ageurtse]

i can't find the one that does this thrik onf the forum's home page. i know i have to change the hook lookcation also.

i set this one to forum_home_complete, but that doesn't do the trick

Could you Upgrade this to Show Users Album ( with a graphic ) please. I would do it, but its your MOD ! And as you know I dont do xml stuff lol.

There is already another mod that shows various things in that dropdown (like the users album). You can go use that one if it is what you want. This is just a simple one to just show the Threads also without all the extra code to use the other mod.

Ahh cheers Lynne, will check it out.

FYI, there is a conflict with the following mod:

Add Ignore User To Postbit Dropdown (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228673)

If I disable the other mod, yours shows up. If I enable the other mod, yours disappears.

[djbaxter]

This is broken in 4.02.

[Lynne]

This is broken in 4.02.
Looks like they finally fixed the issue with that template_hook. I've posted the fix in the first post until I can get around to reuploading a new version of the product.

[djbaxter]

Thanks, Lynne. :)

[Extra PC]

hello attach updated for 4.0.2?

[haytham]

Can this work for 3.8.5?

[Lynne]

Can this work for 3.8.5?
Nope. There is already a mod like this for 3.8

[Boofo]

Lynne,

The icon doesn't line up with the rest of them in 4.0.3. The fix for this is as follows:

if ($show['search'])
{
$template_hook['memberaction_dropdown_items'] .= '<li class="left">
<img src="'.vB_Template_Runtime::fetchStyleVar(imgdir_siteic ons).'/forum.png" alt="" />
<a href="search.php?'.$session[sessionurl].'do=finduser&amp;userid='.$post[userid].'&amp;starteronly=1&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post" rel="nofollow">
'.$vbphrase[view_forum_threads].'
</a>
</li>';
}


Also, is there a way to do this globally so that it works in all areas that have the dropdown when you click on the username? (forumdisplay, etc.)

[Lynne]

Thanks Bob.

If you want to have it show up everywhere that this template is used, then you have to write a different plugin for every area it is used in.

[Boofo]

I tried doing that and I couldn't get it to work in any other place.

And, you're very welcome. ;)

[ArchAngelz]

Does installing this mean that the "Add as Contact" (which is located where the View Forum Threads is at now) is replaced by "View Forum Threads"?

[Lynne]

Does installing this mean that the "Add as Contact" (which is located where the View Forum Threads is at now) is replaced by "View Forum Threads"?No, it doesn't replace it. It would be shown in addition to the other stuff.

[p@ndu]

hi

it is showing in this way cannot we set in a order

http://lulzimg.com/i20/41f235.png

[Boofo]

No, there is no way to sort the order.

[ARSamo]

un installed ............ not working on vb 4.0.0

[gezuvor]

Alignment is off on 4.1.11. I ended up hard-coding the mod into memberaction_dropdown.

Thanks for the great idea though!

[Big-Pete]

Can't get this to work in vB4.1.12PL1

[Lynne]

I just changed the template to use CSS for the image, but other than that small issue, it was working fine on my default 4.1.12 test site.

[djbaxter]

Actually, I was seeing only the image and not the phrase "View Forum Threads" after the upgrade to 4.1.12.

Re-importing (with overwrite) the product fixed that.

[Boofo]

I just changed the template to use CSS for the image, but other than that small issue, it was working fine on my default 4.1.12 test site.

They changed it to the CSS for the image in 4.1.10, IIRC. Sorry I didn't catch this to let you know before.

Boofo dear, you have several other mods to keep track of. I should just do a better job keeping track of them!

[Boofo]

But... But... I like taking care of you. ;)

[Brew]

Does this filter out hidden forums?

Like special moderator forums etc.

Thanks....and great mod!

[Amaury]

Hi, Lynne.

I see three files available for download. Which one do I want?

[Lynne]

Hi, Lynne.

Most likely version 1.3 if you are running the latest version of vB4.2

[Amaury]

Most likely version 1.3 if you are running the latest version of vB4.2

Yup! 4.2.0.

Thanks.

[DemOnstar]

Simple install, works for me in 4.2.1.

Thanks again...

[djbaxter]

I'm getting an error in 4.2.1 when I click on the link from the member's dropdown:

[Lynne]

It works fine on my default vb4.2.1 site. I'd suggest trying with a totally default style and with all your other plugins disabled.

[djbaxter]

Not the style - any custom styles on the forums where it wasn't working are mostly just color changes anyway.

It works on two more highly customized forums and gave that error on two other forums. The ones where it works are on a different server. Most of the plugins are the same. Disabling those that weren't the same (other than Sphinx search) mad no difference.

The ones where it wasn't working were both using Sphinx search (the digitalpoint add-on).

However, I edited the template memberaction_dropdown_lynne_view_threads as follows and then it works on the two forums with sphinx search:

Change:

<a class="siteicon_forum" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=finduser&amp;userid={vb:raw memberinfo.userid}&amp;starteronly=1&amp;contenttype=vBFor um_Post" rel="nofollow">

To:

<a class="siteicon_forum" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=finduser&amp;userid={vb:raw memberinfo.userid}&amp;starteronly=1&amp;contenttype=vBFor um_Thread" rel="nofollow">

which incidentally is the default link to find recently started threads on the member profile page.

[Lynne]

Thanks for the information, djbaxter. Strange that it works fine on my site, but not yours.

[aboayoy]

work on 4.2.1 :)

[djbaxter]

This no longer working.

Not sure if it's the upgrade to 4.2.3 or my upgrade to MariaDB.
