HOW-TO Check if user is subscribed to thread?

[addamroy]

I'm looking for some kind of conditional in SHOWTHREAD to check if a user is subscribed to the thread.

Basically as of now I have a 'subscribe to thread' button that shows only to members. I was hoping there is a way to add one more conditional to check if the user already subscribed to the thread, in which case the button would disappear.

[mokujin]

Try this: add new plugin showthread_query
$hook_query_fields .= " ,subscribethread.*";

$hook_query_joins .= " LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "subscribethread AS subscribethread ON (subscribethread.threadid=post.threadid AND subscribethread.userid=post.userid)";

Then in postbit (or postbit_legacy) add this to everywhere.

<vb:if condition="$post['subscribethreadid']">Subscribed</vb:if>

And how to make it work on vbulletin 3.8? Thanks

Create the plugin as stated above, name it Subscribed.
Hook Location, select, showthread_query

In the Plugin PHP Code message area,
Add:
$hook_query_fields .= " ,subscribethread.*";

$hook_query_joins .= " LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "subscribethread AS subscribethread ON (subscribethread.threadid=post.threadid AND subscribethread.userid=post.userid)";


In your postbit or postbit_legacy template find:


<if condition="$post['signature']">
<!-- sig -->
<div>
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Add below:

<div align="left">
<if condition="$post['subscribethreadid']">Subscribed</if>
</div>

The question ask on this 8 month old thread was:

I answered his 3.8 question, your link sends the member to a 4.0 addon, it will not work on vb 3.8

[Xexiu]

Thanks blind.

To make it work under ForumDisplay also? Or make it work on all site? Should I change hook location to "global start"?

Much thanks.

[blind-eddie]

No plugin needed...

There is an image on the Forum Display page that shows if you are subscribed.
Its a bit small, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/misc/subscribed.gifbut does its job.
You would just need to change the image to your liking on the Forum Display page

Agreed, I didn't realize the age of the thread and I was directing my reply to the person who started the thread, as this is the VB4 section after all. :)

[Xexiu]

Do you mean this (?):
<if condition="$show['subscribed_to_forum']">
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_forum]</a>
<else />
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addsubscription&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[subscribe_to_this_forum]</a>
</if>

From forumdisplay template. But when I add the same code to the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post, doesnt work.

Any suggestions?

[blind-eddie]

You do not need to edit anything to get it to work on Forum Display, there is an image ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/misc/subscribed.gif ) that shows if you are subscribed on the Forum Display pages .... but that's just for you, not all members.

I know, lol I was just messing with you.
In fact, I did not realize it was an old thread until your post, I thought I posted 3.8 info in a 4.0 forum.. again. I then re-read the thread.

[Xexiu]

Hmmmm I cant see it. Im modifying a style but anyway, was having a look at the default style and I dont see the icon. Can you post a screenshoot please. Here is mine.

Check your usergroup permissions and see if you are able to subscribe to threads, when you do subscribe to any thread in 3.8, you will see the https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/misc/subscribed.gif image to the far right of the thread name on forum display.

Your second SS shows the check mark for subscribed threads.

[Xexiu]

Yeah, on my SS I have the check mark (manually added) on template forumhome_forumbit_level1_post, and shows the check mark. But when I click it it redirects me to subscription folder (I add the forum to the subscription list), but the check marks are still there.

After I subscribe to a forum, there is supposed to change to "X" (unsubscribe from this forum), instead it still show the valid checkmark.

Here is my forumhome_forumbit_level1_post code:

<if condition="$show['subscribed_to_forum']">
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow" title="Unsubscribe to $forum[title]" rel="nofollow">X</a>

<else />

<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addsubscription&amp;f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow" title="Subscribe to $forum[title]">✓</a></if>

I have found that using the code posted in post # 2 & 4 will cause the OP to become a guest.
It happened to me & threw up database errors when a member is switched to a guest if the have post/threads in some admin forums.
I removed it from my test site.
