[CMS] Use original thread for comments

[djbaxter]

This is interesting. Why would it start working in 4.0.6 on it's own?

Ok....I guess I can starting thinking about 4.0.6

Because they changed something after 4.04 and changed it back after 4.05?

The same reason it worked in 4.04 and stopped working in 4.05.

[JonSidneyB]

Thanks

[carrlos]

Mine worked in 4.0.4, 4.0.5 and now I will try 4.0.6.

[karlm]

It doesn't work at all in 4.0.6?

Mr Coder, sir... will you be providing an update for this to those wishing to upgrade to 4.0.6? I am currently running 4.0.3, but wish to upgrade asap to .6, however, as I don't know the outcome of performing the upgrade with this hack intact, I'm unwliling to upgrade just yet.

Some hack authors, like Mr. Zeropage (arcade) emails his users (of his hack) once he's updated, could you perhaps do similar?



Also, you said:
The good news is that /finially/ vb seem to have taken notice of this bug report: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-952
What do you mean, they've taken notice? There is still no one assigned to it that I can see. My screen claims only that it is a confirmed issue.


ps - just to add, this IS perhaps the most useful hack I have employed throughout my three years on vbulletin.

[KProjects]

Just re-enabled it for 4.0.6 - seeeeeems to be working fine..

[djbaxter]

Just tried re-enabling this for 4.06. I get the following errors (actually the same one x4) on the CMS page:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/class_postbit.php(321) : eval()'d code on line 21

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/class_postbit.php(321) : eval()'d code on line 21

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/class_postbit.php(321) : eval()'d code on line 21
If I disable this add-on, the error disappears.

[daveaite]

It works for me on 4.0.6.

btw: thanks for the mod! :)

Time to reinstall and try my luck!

btw, anyone else check back to this thread daily to see if theirs improvements/updates. lol.

edit: epic fail on my side. All i know, is this once worked for everyone. :P

[Daryn]

I had this installed for a while and just kept updating vb. Now with the 4.0.6 update the mod seems to have started to work properly again. I don't see double posts or missing comments anymore. I'm hesitant to remove and reinstall it since it's working, I kind of don't want to poke at it and break it. :)

What ahcnged in this version of vB?

[Carnage]

I was still trying to figure out what changed between 03 and 05 to break this... if its now working again in 06 :s no idea what they are upto...

Folks, I installed this on 4.0.6, and it appeared to be working really well.

However, someone reported they couldnt post to facebbok from a thread reply.

Digging into it, i didable mods one by one, and it was only when disabling this, the facebook post from threads worked again.

Can anyone else confirm if this is a prob for you also?

Thanks

[Acido]

Hi Carnage. Thanks for share this useful mod.

Suggestion:
It's possible add a feature to this, that hide the editor for comments when the thread is closed? I notice that the article doesn't accept new comments when the thread is closed, but without any warning to the user. The post simply doesn't appear.

Hope you can figure how add this in future versions, if come.

[Videx]

I too was wondering how it deals with closed threads. We have all our threads set to close automatically after x days, so there's a good chance articles will have closed threads.

I just sort of assumed if the associated thread was closed, comments would go to the default comment forum. But your idea is a better solution.

[Rho'd Berth]

I can't import this into 4.0.6, I get: "Invalid File Specified" when I press "Import"

[Rho'd Berth]

Is the attached hooks_vbcms.xml ok?
When I look into the source there's hardly anything in it. If I compare it to the alpha-file the difference is huge. Maybe that's the reason that I get this error when I try to import it?

[Rho'd Berth]

Never mind, I was importing the wrong xml file.

[Carnage]

I've updated the mod to remove support for vb 4.0.0 The extra hooks.xml file was confusing people.

This mod is now only works on vbulletin versions 4.0.1 and above.

[carrlos]

The Uninstallation and Full Uninstallation steps still refer to the extra hooks.xml file. Should they be updated?

[Carnage]

Thanks, fixed.

I can also confirm that this mod works on vb4.0.6 as my own forum has been upgraded to 4.0.6 without issues.

[djbaxter]

Still working on 4.07 as well. You're an update behind. :)

[Carnage]

I tend to jump several versions at once as upgrading is time consuming and often breaks at least 1 custom style or mod.

[mitch84]

work fine on vb4.0.7, thank you

[krustyx]

Perfect! Exactly what i was looking for! :)

[daveaite]

Does it work for 4.07?

I'll have to try my luck once more.. :)

[Carnage]

It should do, yes.

[ckeins]

I do have problems with my "auto image resizer" and this mod. The auto-resizing doesn't work.
I'm using this mod. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=237650

Which image resizer works with this mod?

[Carnage]

I don't know of any specific reason this shouldn't work with that mod.

What exactly doesn't work?

Carnage- have you noticed a lot of comments removed from the jira about incorporating the feature of this mod into vB? I especially noticed that my last comments were deleted.

I see your comments just fine. Why would you think they would delete your comments and leave the others?

[redlabour]

If you want to use multiple fourms for CMS comments. This is a fairly none obvious use case, but probably a popular one.

I never quite got that... can anyone give an example scenario in which you'd want to use multiple forums for CMS comments?

Well, it depends on your situation - if you really want to use the vb CMS in a similar way to vbAdvanced; for example you may just want to highlight the best threads from each of your current forums a featured posts section; thus you want comment threads in different forums.

Congrats on perhaps the most useful functional plugin programmed. I can't believe this wasn't as standard from 4.0.0.

[Robbed]

Does it work with 4.08? If we do use it will we have problems when vb includes it in 4.2

[mmacrypt]

I just upgraded to 0.8 and it's working fine for me for what that's worth.

[Juggernaut]

I am using it with 4.0.8 :D

[thunderclap82]

I'm having an interesting problem. When we post a regular Article it lists the article twice in the What's New? listing. Once with Article: in front of it, and a second time without that. Yet both posts point to the CMS article.

Any idea why this is happening?

I should add: I updated to 4.0.8 but it broke my theme, so I downgraded back to 4.0.7.

[Carnage]

it's possible that the comments thread in the comments forum is coming up and the article itself is coming up. I don't think that this mod is specifically responsible: check the settings for your default comments forum.

[carrlos]

Carnage-, is it me or are all threads promoted to articles absent from the "New Forum Posts" and "Forum Threads" sidebar blocks when using this mod? And subsequent comments? Solution?

[Carnage]

I can't say I've noticed that happening but it could be because the system is now treating those threads as cms content... do they appear in recent cms comments blocks etc?

[carrlos]

Yes, they do. Do you have a work-around? My users like the sidebar blocks (which I have temporarily removed) and have asked for them to come back.

[sticky]

So when this becomes a part of 4.2 how will the upgrade work? Will I need to disable this mod/uninstall it before upgrading?

[Carnage]

Yes, they do. Do you have a work-around?

I've just had a quick look at the new posts block. The main db query that generates it strips out the threads which are associated with a CMS article. The work around would be to remove that condition in the query. You may then want to limit the forum(s) selected to not select from the normal cms comments forum.

I really couldn't say at this point. Since I'm using this on my own forums I will need an upgrade path myself so will be planning + developing one once vb 4.2 is available to me.

remove this line:

but leave the ." on the end.

Hi... i really do like this plug in, its crzy it wasnt part of the software in the first place!
anyway, i am having a little glitch since i installed it

i get this message

then i get a double post - for some reason it also happens more frequently on the iphone hence the screen grab, but it does happen on other os too, just less frequently

any ideas?

anyone help?

[loganrapp]

Anyone?

EDIT: Figured out why the comment was not posting, but it only stays in the CMS ARTICLE and not the original thread.

I'm having a similar issue - when I promote an article that has replies in the forum thread already - it shows that there are X comments on the main page, but when I click "read more," it won't display said comments.

[StonePilot]

Works great! MOTM!

Wish it were retroactive on previous threads that I made and disabled comments on, then I linked to the original thread post myself. :-(

[kesandal]

There is a big bug!

If you have a couple of comments in the thread and there is pagination used in the CMS-Artikel.

You click on Page 2 or some page >1.
Then there is a redirect to another post in the forum!

====
Edit:
I found the error.
But how to fix this???

CMS-Link: community/content/xyz-106/
The proper thread in the forum: /community/f10/xyz-101/

And when I click on page 2 in the CMS-Article I'm redirected to:

/community/f5/this-is-a-completly-anoter-thread-106/

The problem is the 106 in the URL of the CMS-Artikel and the 106 in the URL of the forum-thread.

Uhm, I reached 20+ messages per news, but how do I change settings about the pagination of messages?

Example: Now I've some posts with 20+ reply, and I can see only 20 messages per page, then I have to click on the next page to continue reading messages.
Can I see every messages in one page or change the pagination from 20 to 30-40 messages?

They say it won't be integrated until 4.2.x and who knows where in that branch it will be.

If the only issue is replies going to the feed that isn't even that big of a problem. Why not just use the forum feed then?

I use RSS mainly to tweet out new articles automatically. If that works fine, I can upgrade.

when a thread is promoted to the front page; this mod prevents vBulletin from creating a new comments thread for it. Instead the original thread is used for comments.

[ngphuc2k]

Thanks

[SECTalk.com]

This is the best product ever.

Any greater functionality planned? Though this pretty much accomplishes everything it needs to.

[Mooff]

For your information:
There's a bug using this addon combined with the dp-sphinx search. Basecially all new posts show up as article comments, bypassing the vb4-rights management, in the sphinx-delta. And therefore internal posts are visible for all users via the search function. That does not happen in the sphinx-fullindex, so if the posts get older the problem does fix itself.

Cause of this bug:
The newpost plugin of this mod changes the parentforumid and therefore breaks an if condition in the dp-sphinx makeing it true every time.

This FYI is meant for admins who are running both addons and most likely will never see it happen without someone telling them.

[aleinside]

First of all, thank you :)
I would to display my article as first post in thread: I think it's not so hard. I know PHP very well but I never wrote plugin for vb.

My problem, for a better optimization, it's how can I save a boolean in thread record to know if there is an article connect?

It's simple enough? Anyone can help me?
Thank you again :D

[sub_ubi]

Thank you, I don't understand why this isn't in the CMS normally.

[ahfm]

Thank you for this mod, however maybe you can help me..

Is there anyway i can disable the show replies below the article that have been promoted.. and rather link the comments link to the original forum thread?

My users are confused they don't know where to reply, either forum or to the promoted article.. so one place would be ideal..

any help much appreciated.

This mod seems don't work on vbulletin 4.1.8.

When I post on a forum thread of the promoted one the article comments don't show the new comment.

Any Idea?. I don't want to uninstall this mod for only this issue :(

[SocketTF]

For anyone interested (i managed to resolved by myself), the mod still works on 4.1.8 the only "fix" tha resolved the issue is setting the permisions on all sections and subsections of the CMS (CP Admin menu -> Vbulletin CMS -> Permisions) and clear the system cache.

[vexxy]

Sure, in your admin cp go to Options -> Server Optimization and configuration options -> then check "Yes" at the option near the end of the options group called "Deactivate Content Cache" (or something, I got my cp interface in spanish).

And yes, this must be a standard function in Vbulletin.

[flighttalk]

That worked, anyone know how to get this mod working without permanently disabling the post cache?

4.1.11 should finally provide this setting build in.

Do I disable this mod since this is now built in?

What you need to do is read back 5 posts.
Ok well the CMS is working well for me with it disabled or enabled so a generic answer may not resolve everyone's issues. What you need to do is realize some boards are modified and what works for some may not work for others.

Ever since this moved to VB the comments just aren't displaying like they used to.

Any idea how to reset this or make it work?

Yeah same here

I am having issues with the built in vbulletin comments not working also.

I just test promoting thread to be an article, and when I replied on the article the comment wrote in the vbcms comments forum not in the original thread, so what is the exact option that you said (Carnage) was built in from vb4.1.11 !!

I tested on vb4.2
Any help please?

I have this mod disabled. But, when I promoted a forum thread to an article the existing comments do not transfer over to the articles/CMS page.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I also removed this mod after upgrading to 4.1.12, but I do not have the same functionality that this mod previously provided.

Are we missing something in the 4.1.12 settings, or is this mod still needed.

Thanks for the link...

So I have to edit the template and change the defaults to get it working like this mod use to...but how do I apply these new settings to all existing articles?
