Thread Description Hack v1.2 for vb3.5 beta 1
Support thread: http://www.extremescripts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12

I wil try to do my best to support this hack here but you will get my attention much faster on my site.


What this hack does:
This hack allows your users to add descriptions to their threads that show up on the threadlist. This allows people to read what the thread is about before they enter the thread.

Files To edit: 1
Queries to run: 1
Uses Hooks: Yes
Phrases To Add: 1
Template Edits: 3

Planned:
Add showing of thread description to search results.
Option to turn off thread descriptions on a per forum basis
Option to turn off thread descriptsion showing up on search results.
ajax support for editing thread description from forumdisplay.

If I have missed anything please let me know. I have worked on this off an on today with the power going going out every so often becuase of the storms we have had today.

If you are upgrading use the v1.0 installer and undo the editpost.php file edit. Then just load the new xml file.

There will be a new version that will be a full plugin possible later today. If I get the needed time to make the change. Plus I will release it as a product. :)

If you use this hack please click install.

Right here tony. ;)

eXtremeTim
06-10-2005, 05:02 AM
I tried hard to avoid file edits. The two edits that exist are very small. One is a addition to a query and the other is there becuase there was no plugin in the small space of code where the new code had to go.

jpt62089
06-10-2005, 05:04 AM
ok well I am sure you will find a way to do it :) Once you do I will click the install button :)

eXtremeTim
06-10-2005, 05:04 AM
there is no way to do it. We cant edit the theadlist query without hacking the file.

Anybody who has downloaded please redownload. I forgot to put the templates edits into the install file.

eXtremeTim
06-10-2005, 06:10 AM
Heres the fix

in plugin titled

Thread Description: Save Description

Replaced the code with the following

if ($type == 'thread') {
$post['threaddesc'] = htmlspecialchars_uni($post['threaddesc']);
$dataman->set('threaddesc', $post['threaddesc']);
}


I am updating the xml file right now.

Tim is right, i tried mutiable ways to get this down to just one file edit. But not every hack can be "file-editless". Though he did save a whole lot of file editing using the hooks system. Nice work man!

/me clicks install!

eXtremeTim
06-10-2005, 03:20 PM
Thank you.

If their was a way to get this down to one or no file edits I would have. I also believe I have noticed that I have an extra plugin snapped into this. I have disabled the one on my site right now to notice if I see any problems anywhere if not I will post the changes here.

cmiller1014
06-10-2005, 07:42 PM
I thought the whole point was to avoid file edits? I wont be installing any hacks that have file edits. Is the plugin system crummy or what is the problem?

Cmiller1014. You can't avoid all file edits, but you can minimize them alot. And sometimes, hacking a file is much better then adding a hook. Telling someone your not going to install there hack because they have to edit files is just rude. We work hard to give you guys these hacks, hours, and days, are spent out of our regular lifes to give you a hack and support.

Jelsoft deigned this system to minimize the amount of file edits to mak upgrading easy. This hack would normaly take 8-10 diffrent line edits on 4 files. To minimize them to just 2 small file edits is great. And would only take a person a mintute to upgrade.

cmiller1014
06-10-2005, 08:17 PM
And here I thought the entire point of the hooks system was so that we could get friggin support for vbulletin and still have hacks. If I edit files, there is no support.

I wasnt trying to be rude to the person who creates hacks, I just wanted the truth about the hook system, and apparently it is useless.

eXtremeTim
06-10-2005, 08:23 PM
I put in requests for additional hooks so hopefully I see the needed stuff in a later version and can remove all file edits later on. :)

cmiller1014
06-10-2005, 08:25 PM
eXtremeTim,

Thanks for being on top of all of this so early on. I am relieved to know that people are getting involved and ultimately helping to make vbulletin better for all of us.

Thanks again

Is there a way to make the description appear below the thread title? :)
It depends on how you edit your template. Instead of

<if condition="$thread['threaddesc']"><span class="smallfont">- $thread[threaddesc]</span></if>

You can use

<if condition="$thread['threaddesc']"><div class="smallfont">- $thread[threaddesc]</div></if>


But then your'll need to find an area for the Thread Starter as the way above it will make it look like this:

Thread Title Will Be Here
Thread description will be here
Thread Starter

And you might not want 2 rows like that. If not just let me know how you want it and i'll tell you what you can do.

Im getting ready to start porting up the talkerbot in a bit. I have under planning a fully featured auction script*, a fully featured online store* (with shopping mall addon*), a fully featured client management system*. Plus many other hacks.

*These modifications are not going to be released for free. They are being developed and targeted at professional use to compete with script such as php probid and x-cart.

looks like you have your hands full then lol

06-11-2005, 11:35 PM
The support forum on my site has been pretty active the last month over that hack so I figure it must still be in use.

C.Birch
06-11-2005, 11:43 PM
i know theres been 3 people ask about it over on vb-fans, anyway back to submit of the topic. im looking forward to the ajax support, i have still be unable to work it out but saying that i have not had time to look has been remaking my own sites plus learning flash better and testing 3.5 lol

eXtremeTim
06-11-2005, 11:48 PM
Ajax support will make it into this hack one day. I already thought about doing it but I feel its more important to get some more hacks released right now and start pushing the way for the 3.5 community.

playboy
06-12-2005, 12:20 AM
I Noticed All These Files And Templates Are In 3.0.7 (which is what I'm running on) will this hack work for that? If not could you give me brief description on how to make it work for 3.0.7?

eXtremeTim
06-12-2005, 12:48 AM
There have been major changes since 3.0.7 to the workings of vb. There is a version of this hack that I released on vb 3.0.x you can find it by going to my profile and looking at my 3.0.x hacks.

@eXtremeTim
I think you can get rid of the editpost.php file edit.
Hookname: threaddata_presave

global $getpost, $postinfo, $edit;
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'editpost' AND $getpost['postid'] == $postinfo['postid'])
{
//need to update thread desc
$edit['threaddesc'] = htmlspecialchars_uni($edit['threaddesc']);
$this->set('threaddesc', $edit['threaddesc']);
}

Bug:

make a new topic with a thread description then go back to your post and us vb's new quick edit to edit your first post. you see it removes the thread description.

eXtremeTim
06-14-2005, 07:51 PM
replace the contents of the: Thread Description: Edit Post Description Updating plugin with the following code


global $getpost, $postinfo, $edit, $vbulletin;
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'editpost' AND $getpost['postid'] == $postinfo['postid'])
{
//need to update thread desc
$edit['threaddesc'] = htmlspecialchars_uni($edit['threaddesc']);
if (!$vbulletin->GPC['ajax'])
{
$this->set('threaddesc', $edit['threaddesc']);
}
}


Was that fast enough for ya? 16 minutes and you had a fix. ;)

06-14-2005, 09:29 PM
nope to slow :p i want a full refund...... ooopsy it was free ;) well done for the fast fix but i think you need to fix your door so you can get out more and not give us about 5 new hacks ago lol

oh whats this other promising hack then lol, btw you sound like me on your talker bot test forum when i was trying to get it work the first time around hehe telling it it best reply now.

eXtremeTim
06-14-2005, 10:23 PM
Im working on a hack version checking script. Basicly it will allow hack authors to use it to check the hack version the user is running compared to what is released. It will do this by the hack author creating a file such as hackname_version.js which is then check from their server by this hack and determines if they are using the current version or not. If not then there is a nice message displayed in the new table telling them about the new version with a more info link.

Update:

I know have this hack working on my site. Its just a matter of giving it a few once over. Putting together some documentation. Then releasing.

eXtremeTim

"Even kall" .. makes me sound like some kind of coder or something. :D

But yes, there is a major problem with the 'editing the first post of a thread' thing (that I imagine is supposed to be the part of this hack that allows you to change the description after making it), but that doesn't take away too much really.

Having a description (IMO) helps you with keyword density and all that good stuff. :)

It works fine for my Board, installed 3 weeks ago and it run without any trouble.

for your next version you should add the hint to change the search.php also. So that the descriptions also display in "New Posts" and other search results.

Tested in 3.50 without any trouble

---------------------
Open search.php
---------------------

+-----
+Find (twice!):
+-----
. iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'] AND $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], ', threadread.readtime AS threadread') . "

+-------------
+Replace Both With:
+-------------

. iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'] AND $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], ', threadread.readtime AS threadread') . ", threaddesc

--------------------------------
Save and Upload search.php
--------------------------------

Have YOU tried editing the first post of a thread?
I did this and I don?t have trouble!?
What happens on your board, maybe I am too stupid to see the problems.
I can edit the first post without trouble. With and without a posted description.

well here it is http://l2guru.com/thread_description_1.2.1.zip

remember to not run the query if you had previously used this mod.
Isn't there a way to include the query with the product?

EDIT: This works. No SQL query required.

EDITED AGAIN: Typo, please redownload.

Yes, it should, but I haven't tested it.

However, I had a typo in the XML, so if you downloaded it, please redownload it.

This still doesn't fix the problem where moderators are unable to edit descriptions tho...

EDIT: And I'm no genius coder, but I'd assume it would have to use some hook in threadmanage, but I have no idea which one. :P

So what is the issue with the development of this hack?
Is it suitable for vB 3.5.1 or still in BETA stages?

The description also disappears if you preview the thread.

And it doesn't show up in the actul threadview (like IPB does)

Hope ya don't mind, I'm just listing some problems I have found so far.

Here we go... you can now edit the thread description and it'll save properly (at least the admin can, not sure about mods, and the user).

I removed the uninstall sql queries because I don't want to anything to happen to the column should someone uninstall the product accidently.

Let me know if you find any bugs, or if something's not working.

Btw a hook location was incorrect that processed the update of the edit, I just changed the location and the code a bit.

I'd recommend to have the uninstall code remove the column, as this is what uninstall codes are for - cleanup the database.

randominity
11-24-2005, 08:13 PM
In that case, I added the uninstall code back as well as fix the queries by adding the TABLE_PREFIX before the table name.

This is what I was looking for...but I hate manual editing...Do you still have to manually edit the stuff in the readme in your zip for the last file you posted?

I installed it fine anyhow, just curious though is it safe to uninstall?

I see you were worried about it removing something important..

I still don't seem to be able to edit the description as an admin. I can only edit MY threads...

Question. How can you add this so the description is displayed after the thread title in the first post of the thread?

The 3.0 hack had it so it displayed like this:
(Thread title - Description)

That's a function I'd like to see returned.

I will be releasing this on vbulletin 3.6 shortly. I am almost done modifiying it and soon it should require no template edits or code modifications and just be a single plugin. :)

I now have it all working with a product and one single template edit. ;) I have made it do auto template editing for the editpost and newthread template to make things easier on everybody. I also updated it so that it works correctly with the quick edit and it works just fine with the quick thread title editor of vbulletin.
