That's correct.

The way this behaves (is written to behave) is as follows:

- When the new thread is autocreated, it is placed in the forum associated with the entry
- If the main VB board requires moderation of new threads in this forum, then the thread is placed in the moderation queue. Otherwise it is displayed immediately

Moderation of the new entry itself is a separate process, and depends on the settings within LDM.

Is this reasonable, do you think?

I'm just confused as to why it happened at all, nothing on my board is moderated anywhere, and poof, this occured today. I added that code, went in as a user with the same rights as the guy that prompted the moderation "error" and posted a link in the same place he did. With the code in place everything is ok again, however people have been posting links prior to this in the same fasion with the auto-thread creation turned on, and it never happened before this morning. That's the strange part. Hopefully that Global var is all that is needed to fix it. Otherwise, things are as smooth as can be.

I think the way you have moderation setup is as good as it can be.

Yes, without the 'global' statement, the behaviour was unpredictable but presumably depended on how many other hacks, etc, were loaded on the board, day of the week, etc.

AndrewD - yeah, I just fixied it, wasn't anything on LDM's end.

Hey LDM is awesome just one thing, usually LDM logs my users out.. not a big deal, but they have to re-login, is this something to do with the script or is that my end?

got a question for fellow LDM users and AndrewD, now that LDM is working fine, anyone of you have tried adding adsense to LDM? Just thought of this and would like to seek your opinions regarding the placement of adsense. I feel that perhaps links_main as well as links_linksbit would be good places to put adsense? who have tried? perhaps you wanna share what you have done?

I don't know of anything in LDM that could cause this,but I may be missing something. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'll be adding it soon, and my plan was to have it under the navbar, that way it's on all pages.

Nope.
:banana:

Oh Mr. Andrew, I was searching for 2 things and couldn't find them, don't know if they exist or if they're possible, so here we go!

1. Is there a variable to check if the description field is filled out? The purpose of this would be, that if it isn't, have in IF statement in the template(s) that checks and if no description, then to use the title instead.
2. Is there a way to include, IF available, the thumbnail picture of a link in the auto-created thread? Not as an attachment, but with the IMG tags.

Ideally this would be a test on $linkdesc, but it's made slightly more complicated because a blank description is actually passed to the template as a non-breaking space to avoid producing a null table cell (which is invalid html). The most reliable approach would be to edit local_links_include.php, find function get_linklistbit, then find the line:

Either add yourself a new variable which you test against, or change the assignment so that $linkdesc is assigned a normal space character and then you can test against that in the template.



For this, I think you should edit the autothread plugin. After line:

add the line

I went for the plugin first. I added it and it works great!

If I do the link_desc I'll let you know.
