Please see http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16 (thread title/message header wrong)

edit: also the screenshot should be attached, or at least less than 450 pixels in width.

[phill2003]

thanks i just had a look and i would think you could do it with most if not all the redirect_ templates just change the wording :)

[drumsy]

It's redirecting to the wrong place...not to the post but to a new reply page...:(

[phill2003]

if you take the $url out of the redirect_postthnks template its a quick fox for now till i sort it out properly

[MustangBST]

Cool Installed

[filburt1]

As an aside this version requires Javascript to automatically redirect. Users with it off will have to click the redirection link each time.

So You are saying if they have java script enabled they would have to click the link every time they come to the redirect screen?

[Cypher720]

it is a great idea! im sure someone can fix it so it doesnt REQUIRE JS

[Sephiroth32]

very nice mod!

*installs

[MustangBST]

Warning this does not work with the post reply button. It may be because we have multi quote not sure

it's because it redirects to the wrong page...take out the $url

No, if they have it disabled which many people do to kill popups and whatnot.

[imported_holden]

[phill2003]

i just noticed some of you having probs with this if the server is slow it redirects to the wrong place i noticed its been fixed but this is how i have doe it anyway... if it helps anyone i'm pleased :)

change this

{window.location = "$url";}

to this

{window.location = "showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";}

well i hope it helps a bit

have a very nice new year all the best

[phill2003]

mind you it prolly only works for the postthanks redirect

[imported_CityInet]

i really like this mod but the redirection problem is an issue for me. it redirects to the reply page. i tried taking $url out of the template, but that did not work. I do not think I did this right. Here is what I did...

the mod
---------------------
else
{window.location = "$url";}

my revision
---------------------
else
{window.location = "";}

[phill2003]

change it to this if you use it for the redirect_postthanks template...

{window.location = "showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";}

[wyzzor]

Nice!!

[Zerodark]

wow,..i just installed this and it is amazing.

EDIT: i just had 1 slight problem with it,...when i don't use the quick reply, it takes me back to the reply screen like it didn't take me back.

im tryin to get it to work for some others, cause when its only showing the percent on one teplate thing its kinda akward.....whatever

[girard747]

i dont know how i can get what the forumid for a post is.... i need it so i can put that bar on the delete.... :\

[phill2003]

ok change this

{window.location = "$goto";}

to this for the redirect_deletethread template

{window.location = "forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$threadinfo[forumid]";}

and use this for redirect_deletepost & redirect_deleteposts

{window.location = "showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid";}

[girard747]

i got 2 more for ya...

for the redirect_pollvotethanks,

{window.location = "showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]"}

for redirect_editthanks

{window.location = "showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]#post$postid"}

[girard747]

what if you just got rid of the

else
{window.location = "wherever"}

in the code? would it work for anything, because 2 temlates are actually used in the redirect, standardredirect and the redirect_xxx for whatever type of redirect it is. the standardredirect is the one that sends you to the next page after 1 second anyways....who cares if the % might be lower then 100 before it refreshes...

[phill2003]

it might work i'll have a bash

[phill2003]

yep seems to work :)

[girard747]

w00t...?

[imported_psyblast]

good hack, but im not gonna install it, its kinda pointless, but none-the-less its good for people who like this kind of thing :)

[phill2003]

its kinda pointless

by eck m8 your kind of forthright arnt you :D mind you thanks for the input your point is as valuable as the one's in favor :)

[Delta_vbb]

WOW! very nice, thank u ~

[xeon]

one q if i may, has the original install file been updated up to this point?

[phill2003]

no :)

[JHSoundZ]

pretty nifty

cheers

[Kaede Rokawa]

Install..:D:D

[Orfejs]

It's really interesting. But is there a way to turn of all the redirecting and warning message stuff. Because it's so ugly - is there a way? (Sorry if not in the topic)

[phill2003]

you can use it for all the redirect pages you just have to get the url it goes to correct and i havnt botherd sorry:)

[Sanctum]

Found a bug in it. Eventually for no reason it redirected everyone to the the reply sheet *shrugs* =)

[webrats]

Read the above 30 posts..

[Burning_Ice]

So it all works now, updated txt?

[Jay_$te@lth]

simple but pure class :)

[sabret00the]

great iea, i assume the zips been updated?

[drives fast]

just drop it in the standardredirect template and it works everywhere

[:Judge:]

I think that the text should be updated.

I went in and jumped into it without going through this whole thread and of course I had the same issues as everyone else here. I am slowly going over everything and correcting it all as I go.

Thanks for this mod to to those who have helped out with this.

[phill2003]

I think that the text should be updated.

your probably right but i forgot all about this sorry:)

[:Judge:]

your probably right but i forgot all about this sorry:)
I did what was suggested in post #22 and that made the code work for everything :D

[DEATHCAT]

d00d this is one of the cleanest and best addons to the vb legacy :D

also i think it should be added to the vB 3.0 release with an option in the admin cp if people want it on or not because its cool :D

[G2 Lost Soul]

Is there a reason why the percentage bar thingy isn't showing up?

[phill2003]

not that i can think of m8 is the percent numbers showing???

[G2 Lost Soul]

the number are showing, but that little bar isn't

[ajk]

Late comer to this message, but I installed it.

Thanks

[Z00MER]

thanx nice

[vincenta]

Thx , i will try it

[dstruct2k]

the number are showing, but that little bar isn't
If the numbers are changing like they should, you installed it wrong. Otherwise, you just don't have Javascript.

I'm pretty sure this can be rewritten to use this if the user has Java on, and the default if they don't.... Unfortuately I never really learned Java, someone else will have to do this.

Oh, and as a side note, I had this installed in my standard redirect template, and it worked across the board, but it was kinda pointless, so I never bothered reinstalling it when my boards reset. Nice work though!

[crazy420]

hey rimmer very nice work bud going to try it out think its cool looking :)

[imported_Keyser S?ze]

there was a forum i went to long ago, a gaming music forum that had a hack like this installed and it worked perfectly

this does not sadly but looks real cool, good luck

[crazy420]

thanks rimmer installed works great didnt have to change nothing

[Mathieu]

Thx for this hack it's a very good idea i'll try it now

[aky]

this doesnt work for me? I dont know what's wrong, its an easy template to modify.. i really want this to work.. nothing shows up.. all it does is goes to the redirected page after a post... please help!!

[aky]

i also just tried it on my test forum and it doesnt work there either.. no hacks have been installed on this forum.. seems odd?!?! anyone have any suggestions?
