[vbhacker] JustMe

[Mutt]

I was seaching vb org for an old thread the I made and wished ther was a way to just list just the threads I've participated in. I looked at forumdisplay.php and found that it would be real easy to list just the threads that I started. not exactly what I wanted but plenty cool enough.

this hack adds a "View Just My Threads" link under the "Subscribe to this thread" and "Mark Forum Read" links. if you click it, it will relaod the forum display page with just your threads and the "JustMe" link will change to a "View Everyon's Threads" link.

Install is easy. 1 edit, 2 templates, and 2 template edits.

If anyone thinks of a clean way to include threads you've replied to as well, please let me know. Edit - Thanks for pointing out the search specific forum by username, display as threads to accomplish this.

woohoo...don't I feel speacal?? I'm the first to download it :D

this sounds preatly neat...

[Sparkz]

Can't you just go to search and enter username, and display threads?

[Velocd]

I was thinking the exact same thing. :p

[Mutt]

you know the wierd thing is I did that here and not all of my threads showed up. I have no idea why. anyway, this is quick and I wanted it. :)

[andrew67]

Isnt this the same as the little search symbol next to your username on this forum?
Click it and it displays all the posts you have participated in and is simple edit of the postbit template....

[Mutt]

isn't this the same?

Not really.

yes you could do a search for posts by yourself in a paticular forum and have them listed as threads, but it shows all threads you've posted in, not just the ones you started. besides this is easier.

This tiny 1 edit hack, just limits the forumdisplay page to just threads started by you. it's like a forum filter.

This is just a simple refresh of forumdisplay tho - on a user-friendly level, it's perfect! I'll have a closer look at the hack later - thanks! :)

[andrew67]

Cool thanks for the quick reply, is there a demo or a screenshot ?

[Mutt]

Sure why not

here's the forum as normal. see the "View just my threads" link under the "post new Thread" icon

[Mutt]

here is is after I clicked the link.

now only my threads are there and the other have been filtered out.

Maybe I should have picked a forum where I've done a little more posting. :)

demo would be tough since you'd need to have made posts for it to work.

[scsa20]

this is a vary handly hack if you need to find the threads you started fast :D ;)

[Logician]

very nice and practical.. :)

[John]

Not bad ;)

[Chris M]

Good Hack...

When I click on it, will it display all the threads, including the ones I have posted in Private Forums?

OMG this is sexy, My users are gona love this. I got a 15k user forum were [better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth] just get bured in the forums.

Little bug... no way to change the "view threads from" (days back) and see only your threads, if you make the days back change, it refreshes back to "View mine".

Nice hack though... users will like it.

Does anyone have a text file for this hack?

hellsatan, it looks to me that all it'll do, is simply display the thread you've made in just one forum... that's not useful to me at all, I'd rather it show me the threads I've made in the entire forum, because searching doesn't work very well for that.

Thank you very much. ;)

[Boofo]

sonic3d, I just looked at the text file and it is really screwed up. There are parts missing in the make new templates area and whatever else I don't know.

[Mutt]

wierd to see this hack at the top, it's pretty old and coincdently, I changed it at my site yesterday. now the link contians your userid instead of getting it from bbuserinfo. It still works the exact same way, the link is just differnent. The benefit is I can now click the link and then manually changed the id to someone else's id and list just thier threads. It's not a feature most people would need, but I needed it. I'll update the directions and repost as a text file

[Boofo]

I'll be looking forward to it (with your changes, of course). ;)

[Mutt]

here's the text file with the slight update

[Boofo]

Thank you, sir. ;)

[sonic3d]
