Hi... I'm really frustrated. This will be the second hack I am attempting to install, and isn't going so well.
I followed your instrctions to a "t" and am getting a parse error. I read through this entire thread and found where you say that it can only happen if you copy and paste the code incorrectly. Yet I still get the following error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/xhmgami/public_html/forum/index.php on line 460
I'm pretty damn sure I did it correctly.
I found my file and saved to desktop. I made a copy and opened in DW.
I then did a search for
'forumhome_subforumseparator_post', in DW this was RED and was towards the top of the page on line 49 <--- given to me by DW.
I then highlighted that line and replaced it with everything here:
Code:
// [START HACK='Latest Threads On Forum Home' AUTHOR='NTLDR' VERSION='1.0.0' CHANGEID= 1 ]
'forumhome_subforumseparator_post',
'forumhome_latestthreadbit'
// [END HACK='Latest Threads On Forum Home' AUTHOR='NTLDR' VERSION='1.0.0' CHANGEID= 1 ]
From there I searched for:
Code:
// ### ALL DONE! SPIT OUT THE HTML AND LET'S GET OUTA HERE... ###
It found one instance at the bottom. I then put my cursor above that line and pasted:
Code:
// [START HACK='Latest Threads On Forum Home' AUTHOR='NTLDR' VERSION='1.0.0' CHANGEID= 2 ]
// #################### PROCESS LATEST THREADS #######################
// fetch the permissions for each forum
$forumperms = array();
foreach($forumcache AS $forum) {
$forumperms["$forum[forumid]"] = fetch_permissions($forum['forumid']);
// ## HIDE FORUMS WITHOUT THE CANVIEW OR CANVIEWOTHERS PERMISSION ##
if (!($forumperms["$forum[forumid]"] & CANVIEW) || !($forumperms["$forum[forumid]"] & CANVIEWOTHERS)) {
$limitfids .= ','.$forum['forumid'];
}
}
unset($forum);
if ($vboptions['threadpreview'] > 0) {
$previewfield = ', post.pagetext AS preview';
$previewjoin = 'LEFT JOIN '.TABLE_PREFIX.'post AS post ON(post.postid = thread.firstpostid)';
}
$getthreads = $DB_site->query("
## GET LATEST THREADS ##
SELECT thread.*,thread.iconid AS threadiconid $previewfield
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread AS thread
LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(thread.threadid = deletionlog.primaryid AND type = 'thread')
$previewjoin
WHERE open = '1'
AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids)
AND thread.visible = '1'
AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL
ORDER BY lastpost
DESC LIMIT 5");
while($thread = $DB_site->fetch_array($getthreads)) {
$threads = true;
$thread['title'] = fetch_censored_text(fetch_trimmed_title(unhtmlspecialchars($thread['title']), 22));
$thread['date'] = vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $thread['lastpost'], 1);
$thread['time'] = vbdate($vboptions['timeformat'], $thread['lastpost']);
$thread['preview'] = preg_replace('#\[quote(=("|"|\'|).*\\2)?\](.*)\[/quote\]#siU', '', $thread['preview']);
$thread['preview'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_trimmed_title(strip_bbcode(fetch_censored_text($thread['preview']), false, true), $vboptions['threadpreview']));
$thread['replycount'] = vb_number_format($thread['replycount']);
$thread['views'] = vb_number_format($thread['views']);
// thread icon
$show['icon'] = false;
$icon = fetch_iconinfo($thread['iconid']);
if (is_array($icon)) {
$show['icon'] = true;
$thread['threadiconpath'] = $icon['iconpath'];
$thread['threadicontitle'] = $icon['title'];
}
// show goto new post
$show['firstnew'] = false;
$bbforumview = fetch_bbarray_cookie('forum_view', $thread['forumid']);
if ($bbforumview > $bbuserinfo['lastvisit']) {
$lastread = $bbforumview;
} else {
$lastread = $bbuserinfo['lastvisit'];
}
if ($thread['lastpost'] > $lastread) {
$threadview = fetch_bbarray_cookie('thread_lastview', $thread['threadid']);
if ($thread['lastpost'] > $threadview) {
$show['firstnew'] = true;
$show['icon'] = false;
}
}
exec_switch_bg();
eval("\$threadbits .= \"".fetch_template('forumhome_latestthreadbit')."\";");
}
if ($threads) {
$show['latestthreads'] = true;
}
// memory saving
unset($thread, $threads);
$DB_site->free_result($getthreads);
// [END HACK='Latest Threads On Forum Home' AUTHOR='NTLDR' VERSION='1.0.0' CHANGEID= 2 ]
From there I went to my admin panel and did a search in templates for the following code:
Code:
class="smallfont">$upcomingevents</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</if>
There was a close table tag there that I had to push down a line so that I could add this:
Code:
<!-- [START HACK='Latest Threads On Forum Home' AUTHOR='NTLDR' VERSION='1.0.0' CHANGEID= 1 ] -->
<!-- latest threads -->
<if condition="$show['latestthreads']">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_latestthreads')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_latestthreads" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_latestthreads].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vbphrase[latest_threads]
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_latestthreads" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_latestthreads]">
<tr>
<td class="alt2"> </td>
<td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">$threadbits</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</if>
<!-- /latest threads -->
<!-- [END HACK='Latest Threads On Forum Home' AUTHOR='NTLDR' VERSION='1.0.0' CHANGEID= 1 ] -->
now I moved on to creating a new template... this took me a second or two to figure out but I got her done...
I created: forumhome_latestthreadbit
Then added the code:
Code:
<div class="smallfont">
<if condition="$show['firstnew']">
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]threadid=$thread[threadid]&goto=newpost"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_first_new_post]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<if condition="$show['icon'] && !$show['firstnew']">
<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/$thread[threadiconpath]" border="0" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" title="$thread[threadicontitle]" style="vertical-align: text-middle" />
</if>
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]threadid=$thread[threadid]" title="$thread[preview]"><strong>$thread[title]</strong></a>
<em>$vbphrase[last_post]:</em> $thread[date] <if condition="$vboptions['yestoday'] != 2"><span class="time">$thread[time]</span></if> <phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]find=lastposter&threadid=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>
? $vbphrase[replies]: $thread[replycount]
? $vbphrase[views]: $thread[views]
</div>
Last I created the phrase... that was the easiest part.
I then uploaded my index.php and recieved the error.
Now on line 460 in DW this is what I see:
$thread['preview'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_trimmed_title(strip_bbc ode(fetch_censored_text($thread['preview']), false, true), $vboptions['threadpreview']));
I don't know if this is the correct line you are looking for. But I'm quite the n00b at this.
Please help.
