Yes. Once they finish with one, if they try to go elsewhere, they will get the error message again.

I uninstalled an older version to upgrade to the latest but now if I force a thread nothing happens. If I put in a thread to be forced I get the Saved Sucessfully message but the information doesn't get written to the DB as it doesn't show up on the ACP forced threads page.

I'm using VB3.6.8.

e: Having checked the DB I can see the tables have been created but they're empty so the data isn't getting to them somehow.

Hello Abe1.

Apologies if this has been addressed but i see that when i upgraded from v1.2 to 2.0, the "Manage Force Thread Reading" is no longer available in the Thread Tools drop down menu.

is there a reason this was omitted in v2.0 ? :)

note: since i didn't see it, i went ahead and removed the v1.2 template edits [see below] and then reinstalled v2.0 but no option still wasn't showing within Thread Tools.....i thought having it available was a nice way to quickly access a particular thread.

Code:

Force Users to Read a Thread version 1.2



FOR UPGRADE AND FRESH INSTALLATIONS!



1) Import product-abe1_forceusersreadthread into PRODUCTS. Allow Overwrite "YES" (admincp -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product])



2) Do the template edits



in SHOWTHREAD:



find:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

<div><label for="ao_rrd"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_rrd" value="removeredirect" />$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</label></div>

--------------------------------------------------------------------



AFTER place this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

<!-- Start Abe1 Force Users to Read a Thread -->

<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 -->

--------------------------------------------------------------------







find:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

<option value="removeredirect">$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</option>

--------------------------------------------------------------------



AFTER place this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

<!-- Start Abe1 Force Users to Read a Thread -->

<option value="forceread">$vbphrase[manage_force_thread_reading]</option>

<!-- End Abe1 Force Users to Read a Thread -->

--------------------------------------------------------------------



Done.



Click 'install' in the thread you downloaded this from.



Done

I think you should give a step-by-step guide for how to use it - because it's not working! What si THREADID? If I put in 2 it takes the second thread of my forum, which was created back in 2005 and force that! If I put in the latest thread, nothing is showed!

soge	06-21-2008 10:56 PM

i have same problem.i added threadid 1 and then clicked save button in admincp/threads & posts .but nothing wasnt saved.but where i can see thread id at all?i was searching that halfhour but didnt found.

Can someone please explain how do i:

2. What does "force read order" do/mean exactly?

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

1. The thread ID is the number at the end of a thread URL after the t=. For instance, this thread is: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=151737 The thread ID for this thread is 151737

2. If you have more then one thread set to force-read, that controls the order in which they'll be forced to read them.

Install worked okay.

When I add the new thread and click on save, the page returns to the 'Force Read Thread' page but nothing appears in the list.

Can anyone help?

not sure if it was addressed or not but there was a conflict with this mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=129496 where only one or the other would work, but i had one of our coders fix the issue with it, so now both work fine. however i did not upgrade either to the newest update as i am afraid of loosing that they are both working and revert back to only using one or the other.

Is there anyway I can get this to work with 3.5.x? I made the modifications talked about on Page 6 of this thread, with no luck. I was unable to find the 3.5 version for this.

for many months, our site was really slow [page loads] and couldn't figure out why.

i recently disabled the plugins/hooks in the ACP and the site became lightning fast!

i started looking at each installed product to find which was causing it and it turned out to be this hack.

not sure if it is a conflict with another hack or not.

anyways, i was able to confirm it had something to do with this hack because when i re-enabled this product, the site became dreadfully slow again until i disabled it.

i tried uninstalling and removing the 2 uploaded files and then reinstalling but we can still feel the lag until i disable it again.

anyways, just wanted to inform in case someone else had my experience with this hack.

it is still a useful product and we used it to get donations going for our site so i appreciate the work Abe1 did for us.

cheers. :)

I don't like the new version of this hack so I want to resort back to the old version, does anybody know if version 1.2 will run on 3.6.11 ?

Hello,

because of an "bad Situation" in a Forum i've just installed it, and it seems to work great in 3.7.4 (German Version). :up:

Easy to use and completely installed in about 2 Minutes.
Thanks for this Add-on.
