Global Threads for VB4

[BirdOPrey5]

This mod is based off a VB 3.6 mod by randominity here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=129626
He gave me permission to further develop this mod.

This mod allows you to display "global threads" in your forums. Global Threads are threads that show up in every forum (or forums you specify) as opposed to just a single forum.

This is perfect for important site news, forum wide polls, and anything worthwhile to be displayed forum wide.

New Version: 2.02 - Fixed a conflict with the "Thread Links" mod.
New Version: 2.01 - 1 Bug Fix, +1 Extra Option (Choose to display above or below sticky divider if you have one.)

I know you could make an announcement but people ignore announcements, and you can't reply to them like threads. These are real threads and if you don't take away permission people can reply to it like any other thread. Replies in any forum show up in all forums.

Same thread in multiple forums: (VB3 Version)
http://www.juot.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=48
http://www.juot.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=43
http://www.juot.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=20
(It's under the sticky threads.)

This mod requires a little work on your side- you must first create a "global forum." I suggest calling it "Global Forum" and in the forum manager when creating it, choose to "Set Active" set to "No" so it won't show up in your forum lists but will be accessible directly by you to post new threads in.

I have greatly increased the number of options over the original mod and believe I have implemented all the good suggestions ever made for the original mod.

This version won't work on any vBulletin version less than 4.0.0.

I have marked this as BETA as there is 1 unresolved minor bug- it has been a bug since this mod came out but no one seems to have noticed or cared. When showing global threads the small arrow indicating if you had posts in the global thread won't snow.

See screenshots for a Global Thread example. The Global Thread globe icon is optional.

Full instructions in zip file.

Please Mark as Installed if you use this. :)

Note: See post #95 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2259274&postcount=95) for info on how to fix this mod for VB 4.1.7.

See post #126 for an updated threadbit_global template for VB Versions 4.1.10 and above.

Note- I have released a new and better global thread mod and will no longer be supporting this version.

Very good question. I would also like to know.

Looks like a great mod though!! :up:

[BirdOPrey5]

My friend

The URL to each specific global thread is the same no matter what forum you view it from so search engines shouldn't see it as duplicate content, only multiple links to the same content, which is normal for forums anyway. (For example any link in your header, navbar, or footer is the same on every page already.)

Make your global thread forum private like I do!

This mod is epic. LOL I've been using it for years and seriously felt choked after updating and not having it. eew.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

INSTALLED AND NOMINATED!!

Make your global thread forum private like I do!

I'm curious here... how does making the forum private make global threads necessary?

[UncoderMom]

Because, its only private for guest view. My users still see it and it lets me communicate with all of my boards at once. On my site, users stick to a certain board, likely through bookmarks and very rarely visit other parts. LOL

This keeps me in very close contact with them all. I even use for site contests! When the global thread is in every forum, they learn to "know" other posters, making it less painful for some to post outside of their normal boards. :)

Ah, ok, that makes a little more sense. I thought it was private for the regular members, too. I'm still not sure how to use the global threads properly, but it seems like a nice idea if implemented right. I guess we never get too old to still learn something from a Mom, huh? ;)

I added some demo pages to the top thread, but they are the vBulletin 3.8 Version (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=258109) of this mod... But you get an idea how it works- My "Rules" thread is in every forum.

[Boofo]

The rules thread sounds like a good idea as global. Mine are on their own page, though.

Hi, I see the problem... I forgot to remove 1 hook from the code and another modification you have is interfering with the query.

I will release an update to fix this bug shortly. In the mean time if you want to fix it you can go to Plugin Manager -> Edit the plugin titled: Query Global Threads
Find this line:

$hook_query_fields

And simply erase it, hit save, and it should work.

Or wait for my next update later today.

Is the mod still enabled? If so please give me the forumid of your global forum. I will take a look.

My guess off hand is you have the permissions set wrong- users need to be able to view the forum and threads... here is a screenshot of proper forum permissions:

Yes, enabled and I checked forum permissions and they are fine...

In fact, I'm an Admin who created the seed post and all permissions for the forum are on, yet I can't see any of the posts. :confused:

Can I send you AdminCP access privately to have a look?

[BirdOPrey5]

You can PM me access info but please first try this new version, 2.01 I just released just in case your problem is related to the bug fix. :up:

The new version also ads an option where you can display global threads above or below a sticky divider if you have one.

Downloaded and installed v2.01 on our v4.04pl1. :)

Re-checked all settings ....

Deleted old test post from "Global Messages Forum" and created a new one... submitted it ...

It doesn't show up in any of the forums listed in the "included" listing.

Should there be spaces in list? ie: 1, 2, 3 versus 1,2,3 the way I have it?

I'll get you the login information. Sure like to get this working as it could add a lot of value to the nature of how we operate our forums.

Thanks for your help ... :up:

1,2,3 or 1, 2, 3 both work, I tested it both ways... will take a look when you PM me info.

Apparently the "Thread Links (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=250948)" mod is interfering with this mod. I'm going to work on getting them to work together now.

Will update soon.

2.02 released- fixes conflict with the "Thread Links" mod.

Edited to fix execution order.

[Aaron873]

I love this modification, I've edited a couple of things to my likings.
I'm glad you got it working for VB4~

[Taurus1]

Is there a way I can change the global threads text color please? I changed my sticky's color to red, but I am not sure how to do it for this.

Thanks.

[BirdOPrey5]

I'm not really sure what you have to do, probably something with CSS but what you need is in your threadbit_global template...


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

That is the code for the link... So you have a link to the Sticky code to change colors? Maybe I can translate it for Global thread use.

[Taurus1]

This is what I added in the additional.css template for the sticky color:

.sticky a.title {color: red;}

[BirdOPrey5]

OK, simple fix... edit the threadbit_global template and change the code I quoted above to:


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


I set it to "green" you can use any color you want or hex color code.

[BadgerDog]

This is what I added in the additional.css template for the sticky color:

.sticky a.title {color: red;}

That's interesting ... :)

Do I just tack this on the very end of the additional.css template that exists for each of my styles, so the Global Threads ONLY appear with this background color?

Thanks ...

Regards,
Doug

[BirdOPrey5]

That doesn't do the background color, just the link color... and that code is for stickies... for global threads you must edit the template I explained above.

Seems to be working nicely ... :)

There is another incompability for those here who may be using Dartho Lightweight Style for mobile devices, which we do. By the way, it's excellent for cell phones, iPhones/iPads and slow dial up user connections.

Anyway, for whatever reason, the Global Threads mod shows the entire thread in the forumdisplay on that style, instead of just the title. (see pic)

There is a workaround to by-pass Global Threads that we've used in other cases.

In the Global Phrases plug-in titled Merge Global Threadbits with Threadbits bracket it with the following:

if (STYLEID!=15){

Merge Global Threadbits with Threadbits code goes in here

}

Note: 15 is style number for my site's Dartho Lightweight Style, so yours may be different. Whatever it is, plus your style number in-place of my number 15 for your own site.

Now the Global Phrases mod won't display and mess up Dartho's Lightweight Style.

Global Phrases works very well with ALL our other styles, so I'm not sure why there's an issue with the Ligtweight Style only.

Hope this helps someone else in this thread. :)

Thanks to BirdOPrey5 for helping us fix the other conflict he mentioned above. :up:

Regards,
Doug

[BirdOPrey5]

The issue is because the template being used in the lightweight style is mine and had not been edited down the the lightweight style's template.

I'll find the style and make and edit the template and post it here.

OK, in the LightWeight Style edit the threadbit_global template...

Erase it all and replace with:

<vb:if condition="$show['sticky']">
<div class="sticky_{vb:raw globalthread.statusstring}">

<vb:else />

<div class="thread_{vb:raw globalthread.statusstring}">

</vb:if>
{vb:raw globalthread.movedprefix}
{vb:raw globalthread.typeprefix}
{vb:raw globalthread.moderatedprefix}
{vb:raw globalthread.prefix_rich}

<a href="{vb:link thread, {vb:raw globalthread}, {vb:raw pageinfo_newpost}, 'threadid', 'threadtitle'}" id="thread_gotonew_{vb:raw globalthread.realthreadid}">{vb:raw globalthread.threadtitle}</a> ({vb:raw globalthread.replycount})
<vb:if condition="$thread['pagenav']">{vb:raw stylevar.dirmark}<span class="smallfont" style="white-space:nowrap">({vb:raw globalthread.pagenav}<vb:if condition="$show[pagenavmore]"> ... <a href="showglobalthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}t={vb:raw globalthread.threadid}&amp;page={vb:raw globalthread.totalpages}{vb:raw globalthread.highlight}">{vb:rawphrase last_page}</a></vb:if>)</span></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$show['managethread']"></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$show['deletethread']">
<span><a id="btn" href="postings.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=editthread&amp;t={vb:raw globalthread.threadid}">{vb:rawphrase edit}</a>&nbsp;<a id="btn" href="postings.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=deletethread&t={vb:raw globalthread.threadid}">{vb:rawphrase delete}</a></span>
</vb:if>
</div>
<div class="windowbg">
{vb:rawphrase last} {vb:rawphrase post}: {vb:raw globalthread.lastposter}, {vb:raw globalthread.lastpostdate}
<vb:if condition="!$show['detailedtime']">{vb:raw globalthread.lastposttime}</vb:if>
</div>


That will make Global Threads look like regular threads. If you want Global Threads to look like Sticky threads then change the very first line to:

<vb:if condition="1">

[BadgerDog]

OK, in the LightWeight Style edit the threadbit_global template...

Done ... looks good (see pic) ... :up:

Global Thread was set as a sticky using your suggestion:

Change the very first line to <vb:if condition="1">

It's the thread under the ones marked "sticky", but not actually marked as a sticky and located above the normal threads.

Thanks .. :)

Doug

Anyone know how to prevent threads that are generated in the hidden "Global Messages" forum we use, from appearing in the "New Threads" search when people click on that?

I notice that when it executes that function, it says:

* Home * Search * New Posts

Search:
Type: Posts; Excluded Forums: Knowledge Library Comments; New Posts

I assume that somewhere our forum "Knowledge Library Comments" has been excluded from the search, but I can't find where so I can add our hidden "Global Messages Forum" ...

Thanks for any guidance ... :)

I did find this, which I thought might be easier, but I don't understand emough about variables to know how to implement it. :D

This can be do so much easier ;)

Enter a new replacement variable in your Styles and Template menu :)

Search for Text: do=getnew&

Replace with: do=getnew&exclude=xx,xx,xx

Where xx is the forum you want to exclude :)

I think this capability begs for a nice clean simple (importable) mod to be written by someone ... ;)

It would be nice if this had the option for its own divider. ;)

[gsmph]

first of all this really a nice hack and i already implemented it as soon as i see it..

but problem pops up after installing the hack please see my screenshot all the cirlced spacing was suddenly appear but the other global threads below its all ok except the first on above..
please see my attachment

vb4.0.0 pl1

sorry for my bad english

br
gsmph

[BirdOPrey5]

That looks like a bug being you are running version 4.0.0 of vBulletin, I really can't imagine anyone can run that version on a live site.

It looks like it's because the thread contains the attachment icon it inherits a margin (margin: 20px 30px;) from .attachments {} in the CSS.

I don't know how you would fix it, removing the margin will likely mess something else up.

That's my best guess, if you can't upgrade past 4.0.0 I would suggest not using my (or any) mods.

[BlueCheri]

Very nice and useful mod.

Thanx

[shuangddr]

Good mod

[tekmiester]

This is quite nice

Installed, but cannot get the "Go to first new post" icon link to work; it just displays the thread and goes to post #1.

-- edited per boofo's suggestion --

[Boofo]

&goto=newpost should be &amp;goto=newpost

[BirdOPrey5]

&goto=newpost should be &amp;goto=newpost

Is there a reason? It works fine for me with just &... ?

edited my instructions anyway... just curious as to the why.

Thanks.

[Boofo]

Because the proper W3C validation (http://validator.w3.org/) is with the &amp;. ;)

[BirdOPrey5]

ahh... thanks.

[Boofo]

If you look through some of the vb code you will see they also use that in a lot of places. There are a few they missed, but it is more of a standard now with links.

[Rizzler]

I have a little problem with your addon

I installed it on vBulletin 4.1.3 Patch Level 1 and i have enabled it, i created a forum called "Global" and set the "Forum Source" to that forum. I made a post in the "Global" forum but nothing shows up in all the other forums, do you know why ? :/

[BirdOPrey5]

Would you be able to give me a screenshot of settings page for this mod from your admin cp?

Also what permissions did you set for your global forum? Can you confirm you can browse to that forum (the threads aren't hidden)?

[Rizzler]

Here is an image of the panel: http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/9277/expbl.jpg

and yes i set the permissions to what the screenshot showed, i can browse it and se all threads but the forum wont show up as it is set to "no" on if it is active or not.

[BirdOPrey5]

Could you try changing the last option, "where to place global threads" to see if using a different setting will work at all?

[Rizzler]

ah thanks a lot :) the other 2 options are working fine, "Below Stickies -below Sticky Divide" however will not work.

[BirdOPrey5]

It looks like you need at least 1 regular post in the forum for Below Stickies -below Sticky Divide to work... Did you have any posts in the forum already?

[Rizzler]

Ye i had around 5 posts at the time.

im have another problem now with the new release of 4.1.4, here is a screenshot. http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/2412/expi.jpg

[BirdOPrey5]

Unfortunately that screenshot was resized pretty small, I can't see it well- but it looks like the gloabl threads have lost their formatting.

Must be a css change or something with VB 4.1.4... More unfortunate is my license doesn't let me download 4,1.4 so I can't fix this issue either.

If you can paste a copy of your threadbit template into a code box here I can see if there are updates I need to make to get this working on 4.1.4.

[Rizzler]

where and in what file is the " threadbit template" code your looking for ?

[BirdOPrey5]

where and in what file is the " threadbit template" code your looking for ?

If you go to your Admin CP -> Style Manager, choose your style and go to "Edit Templates."

You'll get a list of templates, double-click on the group Threadbit Templates

It will expand, then double click on the template threadbit.

It will open, copy and paste the code here. Put it inside and tags here, you can make them by pressing the # button on the editor when making a new post.

[mitch84]

Hi Joe, tagged for a future install.
I can add that in a widget?
thx

[BirdOPrey5]

I'm not familiar with widgets, I don't have the VB4 suite, just the forums-only and it doesn't have widgets.

[Rizzler]

[BirdOPrey5]

Wow... OK That's a very different template... I see they went back to using tables! I'll work on converting this tonight and post a new threadbit_global template tonight.

[BirdOPrey5]

OK... first understand that there is probably close to zero chance this will work perfectly... and honestly I'm only 50/50 on if this might work at all since I didn't have a 4.1.4 version to test it on.

But you can go to your Admin CP -> Style Manager -> Choose your style -> Edit Templates.

Open the template threadbit_global.

Delete everything inside it and replace it all with this:

And let me know how it works... keep your fingers crossed. :p

[Conehead555]

^^That really screws it up.

Great idea, can't use it without the go to last post working.

[BirdOPrey5]

I have a 4.1.4 now to test it on, let me see what I can figure out.

[Successfulsteps]

Any known issues in 4.1.4?

^^That really screws it up.

Great idea, can't use it without the go to last post working.

Any known issues in 4.1.4?

I just finally got it installed on 4.1.4 and it's working as expected- looks fine. Not sure what's up with first new post, will look into it- but the guy who posted the screenshot where it has lost all formatting- I don't know what the problem was for him but in general it works fine in 4.1.4.

Does it go to the last post now?

Edit: saw you're working on that, I thought you meant something else at first.

I'm gonna love this when that one bug's fixed. :)

Do new replies go into moderation on Global threads?

[BirdOPrey5]

Do new replies go into moderation on Global threads?

It will follow whatever moderation rules you set for your Global Thread forum.

[Conehead555]

I forgot about that, it's not happening now.

Have you noticed that it doesn't show view and replies counts in the forums the thread is in?

It is for me... Can I get a link to your forum?

Hi Joe, after upgrading to 4.1.5 whenever I attempt to go into my one global thread I get this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3508075 bytes) in /home/thebull/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php(7139) : eval()'d code on line 73

Going into my other global thread works fine. So this really baffles my mind. Thanks.

That doesn't look like an error from this mod- if you want to confirm disable the mod and refresh the page, if the error still occurs it's not the mod.

This error usually happens why disk-space is low on your mysql server. How big was the thread?

[emperatour]

If possible, please modify the code such that we can specify different several global forums for different forum.

I need to have threads of a subforum to be mirrored in another subforum. Same for several other subforums.

thanks

I will have to take a look when I get around t upgrading to 4.1.7. Curious if anyone else who has upgraded to 4.1.7 has this issue?

Maybe this helps.

In this "Forum Display Options (forumdisplay)" obtions


Length of Thread Preview Text

This setting allows you to specify how many characters of the first post in a thread to display in the 'title' tag of the thread title on the forumdisplay page.

Set this value to 0 to disable thread previews.


Have 300 and if i but this 0, then Global Threads no show part of first post. But then mouse Preview is not work in threads.


Edit: And "go to last post" arrow move you Treads first post, not last post.

Just upgraded from 4.1.5 to 4.1.7 and have the exact same issue.

[BirdOPrey5]

Just upgraded from 4.1.5 to 4.1.7 and have the exact same issue.

Please "Mark as Installed" if you use this. :)

The temporary fix for 4.1.7

Edit your threadbit_global template.

Find the line:
<p class="threaddesc">{vb:raw globalthread.preview}</p>

and simply delete it.

When I get a chance I will release an update to fix this and address the other issues brought up. :up:

[Scyther]

Good one...

thanks..marked installed.

Any Update sir ?

[Mysterious Ride]

Is there any way to stop it from showing some of what's written inside the thread, on the outside. I mean before you click on it. When your just looking at the thread before clicking on it.

[BirdOPrey5]

see post #95 for the fix.

[BlueCheri]

Hi friend.

Many thanx for creating such a wonderful Mod, it is my one of the most favorite Mod.

So far it was working very fine, but after up-gradation (to 4.1.9) it's not working :(

I don't know what went wrong.

Can you please help me?

Thanx in advance.

[BirdOPrey5]

Hello,

Did you try the fix in post #95?

Can you describe what isn't working exactly?

[BlueCheri]

Yes sir tried.

Can not see global thread on any forum. The forum VB version is 4.1.9

Thanx again.



Hello,

Did you try the fix in post #95?

[BirdOPrey5]

I just tested it on 4,.1.10 and it's still working for me. Do you have at least 1 regular thread in the forum you are trying to see it in?

Try changing the location (above stckies/below stickies/etc...)

[BlueCheri]

Thanx for help. Yes I have many regular threads in every forums.

Changed the location also. Sorry still not working :(

[Kat-2]

If I

choose to "Set Active" set to "No" so it won't show up in your forum lists but will be accessible directly by you to post new threads in.

then I can't see it on my forum, and can't figure out why...:(

[BirdOPrey5]

It's supposed to be hidden, you don't need to see it- but you will see the threads in any other forum (if they are global.)

If you need to make a new thread click on a global thread then use the breadcrumb in the navbar to get back to the original forum.

I am really feeling stupid about now. I don't see where to click on global thread. I am just not sure what I may have done wrong here.

[BirdOPrey5]

Did you put any threads in the global forum before hiding it?

[Kat-2]

I am sorry. I did get this working now. I should have popped back in before now to say so. Nice mod! :)

[steeler7]

My alignment for the Global Threads is off. The attachments and tags images are being forced down onto a separate line.I guess the best way to describe this is to post a screenshot.

Thanks for the mod. Is it possible just make some threads as global and not create separate forum for them?

Thanks

You're welcome, but not possible with this mod. I imagine it might be possible though- I would have to think about it... Maybe a good idea for a new version of this one day.

How do you remove the description (the first sentence or two of the thread) from the forum display? In all honesty, there really should be an option for that in the AdminCP for this mod!

Also, how do I get the Username HTML Markup to work? My name should be in teal (Masked Crusader), but it just shows up with no markup.

My site: http://www.twinkinfo.com/tavern/

Thanks!

[BirdOPrey5]

I would suggest trying the updated template in post #115 if you have a recent VB version installed.

If you are running an older version like 4.1.7 the fix is in post #95 - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2259274&postcount=95

As for the username html markup I'm not sure but I have already begun working on a new version of this mod coded from scratch that doesn't require its own template so other mods should work with it. I hope to release it sooner than later and will post here of course when I do.

[steeler7]

Excellent! This worked out perfect.

Thanks!

How do you remove the description (the first sentence or two of the thread) from the forum display? In all honesty, there really should be an option for that in the AdminCP for this mod!

Figured it out.

In the threadbit_global template, search for:

<div class="threadmeta">

Below that, remove:

<p class="threaddesc">{vb:raw globalthread.preview}</p>

That gets rid of the hideously aligned preview text.

Hope that helps someone else!

[BirdOPrey5]

:up: (exactly like it says to do in post #95 ;) )

[BirdOPrey5]

Hello All,

Unfortunately this mod has too much legacy code for me to keep trying to fix for newer versions of vBulletin.

I am officially marking this un-supported today but will try to help with issues as possible.

I have re-coded a new Global Threads mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=279156) from scratch that I will be officially supporting from now on.

[steeler7]

BOP... after I had applied those template changes a bout a day or so passed and it was brought to my attention that when you click on any of the "global threads" they are taking people to some random Thread in a different Forum, not the one actual Thread itself.

You can check it out here ---> http://www.pittsburghsportsforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php/22-Bucco-s-Talk

There's 3 Global Threads right below the sticky threads. They have the proper link title and everything but when you click on them they take me to the wrong thread.

[whitey92lx]

sweetness!

[BirdOPrey5]

It's actually not random, it's taking you to thread with the same id as the forum you are viewing it from... So somewhere a "threadid" and "forumid" got mixed up.

Are you using the EXACT threadbit_global template I posted or did you make ANY changes to it?

I'm having a slight problem with this addon now that I switched to a knew style. It's showing the a preview of the post and I don't want it to. I uploaded an attachment.

How can I fix this?

See Post #95 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2259274#post2259274) for a fix for that.

Thanks!

I hate to bother you again, but I just noticed how the background of the global threads are. It looks like a normal thread, even when I put it above the stickies. Is there a way to make it look like a sticky instead of a normal thread. I tried search the thread for an answer, but I couldn't find exactly how to do it, what part of the threadbit_global to edit.

[Mysterious Ride]

I still need help with this last thing. I still can't find how to make the background to match the color of the stickies so it can be above stickies.

[BirdOPrey5]

You would need to edit your threadbit_global template... Some of the references (anything style related) change from _global to _sticky. Compare to the regular threadbit template to figure out where/what changes to make.

it is a great mod! Thanks BirdOPrey5 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=258922)
by the way, it is possible to add more customization like the following:

- different global threads in different forums ' this feature sounds great, but looks hard to do'.

let's say I want to add some global threads in some forums and other different global threads in the excluded forums... is that possible??

Thanks, :)

[BirdOPrey5]

Not as it is coded and I will not be adding any additional features to this mod. You are welcome to try yourself if you are inclined/able.
