I updated the mod.

Only I have 2 little question.... what is Force Read Order ???

and where I can see the ID of all my threads ???

Thanx

haha thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Force Read Order is the order in which users will have to view force read threads if there is more then one they need to read.

when you go into a thread from the forumdisplay page, the link should say t=xxxx. That xxxx would be the ID.

Thank you now I understand perfect.

Thank for the work :)

Good morning, Abe1

I see you visited my ACP last night. Thank you for taking the time to do that (twice). I appreciate your hard work and your interest in resolving my problem with this hack.

Unfortunately, I am still unable to add a thread. It seems to be a problem with thread identification in that I am using vBSEO which, as you know, re-writes thread IDs - among other things. Thus, thread ID 1 is re-written to become '1-welcome-message.html' for example. I've tried entering '1' and '1-welcome-message' and neither actually adds a thread to force readers to look at.

I would most humbly and respectfully add that this hack cannot actually do what it says on the box in that it can take a reader to a thread but cannot possibly force them to read a single word. It's the old: "you can take a horse to water ... " thing in that respect.

For these reasons, I have decided to call it a day and, reluctantly, uninstall this hack.

Once again, I thank you for your hard work and dedication. I have used some of your other hacks and they are simply outstanding. I remain a grateful Abe1 fan.

All the best, Abe :up:

i have installed this and now UserCP and PMs are not working. I have uninstalled it again but the issue still stands.

This is the only MOD I have recently installed so cannot be anything else.

Any help??

Thanks a lot :)


Edit: It doesn't work for me. "Invalid Action" says when I try to mark a thread.

I had last version installed with no problems. I uninstalled it and now this new one doesn't work.

Must I put the ThreadID at admin or what? I have 3.6.8 version Patch Level 2

Thanks

Nice MOD ;)
Installed and works fine.

I just have a question about some options when adding a forced thread...
What exactly are the "Force Read Order" and "Location' options?

Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Nick

I have a older version installed. What templates were edited? I have forgot them and do you need to undo them edits before you install the new version?

I am using vb 3.6.7, it's not working with my board. Strange.
Uninstalling and going back to the old version now.

Same issue here. IIRC it was just SHOWTHREAD. The mod edits are marked with start and end notes so they aren't hard to find.

So with this new version, the forced thread reading is done only via adminCP, no option to do it via threads anymore?

What is not working about them? Please explain.

I'm not sure your question.

Order is if there is more then one thread a user is forced to read.

Location is if you only want it on a forum rather then the whole site.

Search "force read" it should find it.

What was not working?

Only in ACP currently.

I was just going to ask about that. Do you have plans to add that feature ABE?

Dont know.

Hi, I'm not good at english, I'm spanish, sorry.

When I wanted a thread to be read, I usually marked it on the same thread

It was working before with the previous version, but not now. See the error, please.

Must I mark the thread from the admin panel or what am I doing wrong? Thanks

Thanks sooooo much...

My URL www.speedaholic.net..

PhotoPost vBGallery v2.4.2

When I post in the vBGallery it shows need to read post then I click on the link to read it takes me to a blank page...

What can I do to fix this?

is there a setting to force users to read a thread entering a certain forum?

It look like you set it to one location and not site wide.

Yes. The location option.

Add the gallery to the block list in the ACP settings.

1) Go to search templates.

2) Search "force read"

3) Open that template.

4) Hit 'find' and it will bring you to the location

5) Delete anything from force read start to end.

You are so nice.. Thanks so much with all the help .. You have my vote!:D

Got it

<div><label for="ao_mfr"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_mfr" value="forceread" />$vbphrase[manage_force_thread_reading]</label></div>
<!-- End Abe1 Force Users to Read a Thread -->

Aha, OK. I thought that it was necessary to determine the place where the thread was published.



Everything works now correctly. Thank you :)

Dun Work I Enter The Forum I WANT USER TO READ I SAVE IT NEVER APPEAR AT THE ADMIN CP THREAD AND POST.......... PLS HELP

Thanks Too Much

Would I be able to look at your ACP?

interesting ... good luck

Only having problems. Please developer, can you debug first. The older version was working perfect!

When I add a thread in admincp it doesn't show there! Before you just click on the particular thread and used the dropdown menu and click force to read and voila.

This is more complicated and it does not work anymore. Can you maybe upload the older version so I can install that one again.

Thanks,
Amro

I'm not currently having any problems. I Un-installed my earlier version and then re-installed this version. No Problems here, working like a charm, thanks.
