vBa CMPS Subscribed Forums on homepage

[tomshawk]

Hello Everyone;

What this block does?

As your users work in your forums, they may subscribed to ones that they use often, so they are accesible via there userCP.

What this does is bring the Subscribed boards section of the UserCP out onto the homepage, removing all of the extras, last post, board description, subforums.

The instructions are in the instructions.txt file.

I dont have a working demo because I set this up
Give an option to see certain modules or not. (http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2047)
So my users have a choice of whether they want it on the homepage or not.

I did attach an image though, so you can see it in action that way. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2005/12/8.gif

Things still in the works:
This adds quite a few queries, so making that smaller is a priority.

I hope you all like it

and Kuddo's to Brian, as always for the help in sorting it out.

Update:

I have fixed this to remove a few queries.

Also a mistake, so when clicking on a forum in the block, it looks for
http://www.yoursite.com/forumdisplay.php instead of http://www.tomshawk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php

For those that have downloaded the zip file re_download it and apply the updates to forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Hi there...nice mod except when I activate it, it removes the data from the Last Post Threads and Posts columns within the forum.

I am sure it's something I did and any help to fix this is greatly appreicated as my visitors would love this mod.

See attached graphic.

This gives me an idea for a hack that might be similar. How hard do you think it would be to make subscribed threads show up on the home page along with the news and announcement threads?

I am having this same problem... When this module is activated, all of the extra info on my forumhome disappears

I am not sure whether I am not understanding you properly or not, but it sounds like you are describing exactly what this hack does there...

Quite possible! From looking at www.tomshawk.com it looked as if only the subscribed forums were showing up in a box at the side. If threads also show up, then this is exactly what I was thinking of and the hack does it already.

nope, you were right, this only does subscribed forums.

Cool, so that brings me back to my original question. How hard do you think it would be to make subscribed threads show up on the home page along with the news and announcement threads?

Sorry I am so late on this, as it has been crazy for me the last month or so.

Look at the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template modification

I'm pretty sure the problem is placement of the


<if condition="!$show['hideextra']">


or the


</if>


I'll check tonight on my site ;)

Interesting, but unless you remember to unsubscribe when you are done with the thread, this could get long quickly if you have subscribe on by default on your site.

I'll look into it though and see if I can figure it out ;)

Good point. I wonder if there is a way to use the same function that sends the emails to subscribed threads to show threads that have had recent activity just as it does when it emails you.

Maybe you could only have like a limit of 5 or 10 threads to show... instead of all of them... I would definetly use something like this :)

tomshawk?.... :ermm: you are probably not receiving an email notification for this :(

Sorry Polo

If I got it, It was probably while I was out of town.

I apologies.

I was able to get this working but I dont know how to limit it, that and it was a while ago.

Let me look for it and I'll post it back here when I get a chance.
Work and my site have been running me ragged.

Take care and have a good one

[Polo]

Hey tomshawk... I know how you feel about being busy, we are in the same boat lol ;) anyways, if you want you can post the code and I will take a look at it... i cant promise anything but I may be able to ask around...

Thanks for the reply... hope you have a great one too :)
