Aside from rolling back the PHP file and template changes, what else do I need to do to uninstall this hack? It was causing MySQL errors. :(

I did drop the 'firstpostid' field from the forum db table, but I see that it appended that field into the index as well. How do I revert that change?

]nice hack... just installed it :)
there's only one "problem" > it shows the first 300 characters of the first post in the thread ( nomatter how many replies there were done )...

I have a code that will show u the LATEST post in the thread without opening it... just with hovering mouse over it will show 300 characters from *latest* post in the given thread...

Code is atathced here and "kinda" buggy cause it adds 1 query per each thread shown at the forum... I share cause I have it and I really would like to mix this great hack made by nicksaunders ant the others with the code I made here... I know it's possible but my knowledge in vBB is not that big that I can do it myself... :(

Anyway, here's the code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$intrid = $thread[threadid];

    $intrinfo = $DB_site->fetch_array($DB_site->query("SELECT pagetext FROM post WHERE threadid = '$intrid' ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 1"));

    if (strlen($intrinfo[pagetext]) > 100) {

     $intrpreview = substr($intrinfo[pagetext], 0, 100) . "...";

    } else {

     $intrpreview = $intrinfo[pagetext];

    }

    $intrpreview = htmlspecialchars($intrpreview);

    $intrpreview = preg_replace("/(\[quote])(.*)(\[\/quote])/siU", "", $intrpreview);

This code should go right after

PHP Code:


		
			
while ($thread=$DB_site->fetch_array($threads)) { // and $counter++<$perpage) {

in forumdisplay.php and then u can use $intrpreview anywhere as your table attribute (same as in this original hack)

If anyone can help me, please do so :) I would really appreciate it :) Thanx again!

I want also this nice hack, but nothing works...

I have all installed and also run the install file from the forum directory not from admin directory.

I have the 2.3.0 if vb

cu and thx

The hack works just fine. One hint, if a bunch of people have installed it and run it and it doesn't work for you, the problem isn't with the hack, it's with your installation.

beautiful hack, my only thing was that in the threadpreview-search it says to replace:

PHP Code:


		
			
In searchresultbit_threadonly



Find:

<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$searchresult[threadid]$highlightwords">$searchresult[threadtitle]</a>



Replace with:

<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$searchresult[threadid]$highlightwords" title="fppreview">$searchresult[threadtitle]</a>

when you should replace it with

PHP Code:


		
			
<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$searchresult[threadid]$highlightwords" title="$fppreview">$searchresult[threadtitle]</a>

By the way, this'll fix those people having problems with the search threadpreview not working, assuming all that is showing up is the fppreview.

Yeah, that's been like taht forever, but I'm too lazy to fix it. :D

lol, I know all about that... :p

But, very nice hack, I was trying to do something like this awhile back, but, it wasn't working, could take random posts from a thread and display those instead of the first post, that was annoying.. lol

Nice work.

I've encountered a very nasty problem that a member discovered, and exploited. It allows a member to post any image whatsoever on the forumhome (in our case it was a highly disturbing one) and I would like to know how to fix it. If someone can help me with a fix, I will share the code with you. I've disabled thread preview in the meantime.

:-/ Could you PM me with more details? I'd like to help fix it.

Thanks to N!ck for the support and the solution. The following is the fix for this bug as related by N!ck via PM:

In forumdisplay.php, find:

Code:

    $fppreview=preg_replace("/\[[^\]]*\]/","",$fppreview); 

    $fppreview=str_replace("\"","",$fppreview);

and add this after it:

Code:

    $fppreview=str_replace("<","&lt;",$fppreview);

    $fppreview=str_replace(">","&gt;",$fppreview);

Again, thanks to N!ck for this support! https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2003/03/1.gif
