I like this mod. :)

I've installed it but I'm not using it just yet because I'm wondering if there us a way to restrict the amount of text characters that show up. If the first post of the featured thread is a page long, it kinda kills the whole forum. Can the text be limited to a few hundred characters, or just the thread titles shown?

Thanks.

use thread description - simply copy the part of the thread you want listed in the "featured" section. You can even add a "Continued..." at the bottom to let people know that there is more to read.

Thanks! I don't know why I didn't think of that.

I'll give it a go :)

EDIT:

That solved it. TY!!

Good hack. But it would be great if the featured thread will automatically be un-featured after a given date/time.

Random featured threads on selected forums is also a good option.

Great hack. Works with 3.6.5.

I installed this yesterday on 3.6.8. When I checked the forum this morning, I realized that the "New Thread" button is creating threads for the wrong forum category. Strange!

I disabled this mod and the problem is fixed. Very strange. Not a big deal, but I just wanted this issue documented.

I had the same problem as stated above. It seems to bo when there is a subforum. It changes the forum id on the 'New Thread' Button to one of the subforum rather than of the forum your in (hope that makes sense).

Does anyone else have this problem?

Heya,

Just wanted to chime in that yes, I did experience the same problem with my NEW THREAD button in the main forum causing a new thread to be created in the last subforum that is listed rather than in the main forum.

I found the solution after I came across this thread, which is from another person who was experiencing the same problem.

This is such a cool add-on, but this bug is a deal-breaker at the moment. I'm looking forward to an update :)

Is there anyone that doesn't have this issue (apart from me)?

Michelle, please forgive me if this has already been asked, but how many queries does this use on the forumhome?

Hey Michelle, great mod you have here. Just wondering if you have located or found the problem with the New Thread thing?

Does this addon work in 3.7.2? If it doesn't, anyone can point me to alternatives? I would even consider paying for this mod to made to work with 3.7.2.

Brilliant addition to my site, instaleed with no probs on my 3.9 test site. One questin if I may...

How would I move this to another area of the site, say the front page to display Featured Threads from all areas of the site?

Thanks again for a great mod.

Cheers

Whoops, spoke too soon. I too have the New Thread bug where trying to create a new thread in a parent forum actually opens the new thread window for the first subforum! Hoping a fix is available soon as this is a fantastic mod and very much worth having...

I did installed mine but is not working.

PS. Sorry I haven't read that has some problems. I will love to have it so I'll check back in the future.

No action on this at all? That a shame, it would be a brilliant addition but is currently unusable due to the sub-forum bug.

This is because when making this hack, I pictured featured threads as already active threads with many replies, and not newly created ones.

Hmmm ... I dont seem to be able to find an Thread tools menu in Admin or mod ... maybe I just do not understand what you mean or where to look...

One question before I install. Does this show on the main forum home or inside the forums? I need one that shows outside on the main forum home not that if your mod doesn't would that mean it's not a good mod. It's just what I need at the moment. Thanks.

Couple of questions.
How do you mark a thread as being featured? If it's a change to the thread table then might it not be better to add an additional table? Not a good idea to alter main tables IMO.
Also how difficult would it be to make it so that members can make a paypal payment to feature their thread for a certain period of time or when the thread is moved to a different forum?

update for 3.8 please

I too have suffered from this issue, however, if you disable it it goes away. But if you uninstall it, you get database errors.

Any ideas on how to solve the database errors?

Code:

Invalid SQL:



SELECT 

forum.title as forumtitle,

forum.forumid,

thread.threadid,

thread.title as threadtitle,

thread.postuserid as posterid,

thread.postusername as poster,

thread.dateline,

thread.replycount,

thread.isfeatured,

thread.fdesc,

thread.iconid,

post.pagetext

FROM vb_thread as thread

LEFT JOIN vb_forum as forum ON(forum.forumid = thread.forumid)

LEFT JOIN vb_post as post ON(post.postid = thread.firstpostid)

WHERE 

thread.isfeatured = 1

ORDER BY  DESC;



MySQL Error   : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DESC' at line 19

For VB 3.8.2 - I added "Featured Threads" to my forum using the Notices Feature (Admin CP - Notices).

You can change the title from "Notices" to "Featured Threads" in the Phrase Manager (Admin CP - Language & Phrases - Phrase Manager - Phrase Type - Global - Notices).

Simply Add New Notice when you want to feature a thread.

Works for me on my business forum !

Not working in 3.8, already found a major bug.

It changes the URLs of "New Thread" buttons in main forums to one of the subforums.

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:32 PM.
