This is my first hack ever, I hope everything goes well. I called it ViewPosts.
Latest version: 1.0
What does it do?: It replaces the 'New Posts' button in the navigation bar with a popup menu (for those that have it enabled) containing extra functionality to search for threads or posts with one click of a button.
What are these new functions?:
- Your Posts -- This will return a list of all of your own posts, call it an ego search.
- Unanswered Threads -- This will give you a list of all those threads that have 0 replies. Could be useful for support forums.
- Threads you've started -- A list of threads you've created. Made a thread last night and it's all the way at page 6 at a fast moving forum? In that case, this would be really useful.
Install Instructions:
Installing is easy, it only takes a couple of template modifications and a few new phrases. There's also a file you need to upload in your forum root directory, it's called viewposts.php (attached).
Template modifications:
In template navbar find the first occurrence of:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>
Replace it with:
<td id="viewposts" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#viewposts">$vbphrase[view_posts_nav]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("viewposts"); </script></td>
In template navbar find the following:
</if>
<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->
</if>
Add the following before:
<!-- view posts menu -->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="viewposts_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[view_posts_nav]</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[your_posts_nav]</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="viewposts.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getunanswered">$vbphrase[unanswered_posts_nav]</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="viewposts.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getownthreads">$vbphrase[own_threads_nav]</a></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
In template search_results find:
<if condition="$action == 'getnew'">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]<else />$vbphrase[posts_from_last_day]</if>
Replace it with:
<if condition="$action == 'getnew'">
$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]
<else />
<if condition="$action == 'getunanswered'">
$vbphrase[unanswered_posts_nav]
<else />
<if condition="$action == 'getownthreads'">
$vbphrase[own_threads_nav]
<else />
$vbphrase[posts_from_last_day]
</if>
</if>
</if>
Add the following phrases to the phrase group GLOBAL (phrase name: phrase):
your_posts_nav: Your Posts
view_posts_nav: View Posts
unanswered_posts_nav: Unanswered Threads
own_threads_nav: Threads you've started
Works like a charm on 3.0.1, I think it'll work on 3.0.0 too but haven't tested this myself.
