Seems to be working nicely ... :)
There is another incompability for those here who may be using Dartho Lightweight Style for mobile devices, which we do. By the way, it's excellent for cell phones, iPhones/iPads and slow dial up user connections. Anyway, for whatever reason, the Global Threads mod shows the entire thread in the forumdisplay on that style, instead of just the title. (see pic) There is a workaround to by-pass Global Threads that we've used in other cases. In the Global Phrases plug-in titled Merge Global Threadbits with Threadbits bracket it with the following: Quote:
Global Phrases works very well with ALL our other styles, so I'm not sure why there's an issue with the Ligtweight Style only. Hope this helps someone else in this thread. :) Thanks to BirdOPrey5 for helping us fix the other conflict he mentioned above. :up: Regards, Doug |
The issue is because the template being used in the lightweight style is mine and had not been edited down the the lightweight style's template.
I'll find the style and make and edit the template and post it here. |

Thanks ... :) Regards, Doug |
OK, in the LightWeight Style edit the threadbit_global template...
Erase it all and replace with: Code:
<vb:if condition="$show['sticky']"> Code:
<vb:if condition="1"> |

Global Thread was set as a sticky using your suggestion: Change the very first line to <vb:if condition="1"> It's the thread under the ones marked "sticky", but not actually marked as a sticky and located above the normal threads. Thanks .. :) Regards, Doug |
Anyone know how to prevent threads that are generated in the hidden "Global Messages" forum we use, from appearing in the "New Threads" search when people click on that?
I notice that when it executes that function, it says: Quote:
Thanks for any guidance ... :) Regards, Doug |
I've seen some mods to do this but this is how I do it:

first of all this really a nice hack and i already implemented it as soon as i see it..
but problem pops up after installing the hack please see my screenshot all the cirlced spacing was suddenly appear but the other global threads below its all ok except the first on above.. please see my attachment vb4.0.0 pl1 sorry for my bad english br gsmph |
That looks like a bug being you are running version 4.0.0 of vBulletin, I really can't imagine anyone can run that version on a live site.
It looks like it's because the thread contains the attachment icon it inherits a margin (margin: 20px 30px;) from .attachments {} in the CSS. I don't know how you would fix it, removing the margin will likely mess something else up. That's my best guess, if you can't upgrade past 4.0.0 I would suggest not using my (or any) mods. |
Very nice and useful mod.
Thanx |
Good mod
|
This is quite nice
|
Installed, but cannot get the "Go to first new post" icon link to work; it just displays the thread and goes to post #1.
PHP Code:
|
Sorry shri, looks like I left out "&goto=newpost" in the URL code.
For anyone having this issue replace your entire threabit_global template with the following updated code: Code:
<li class="threadbit {vb:raw globalthread.statusstring}<vb:if condition="$show['paperclip']"> attachments</vb:if><vb:if condition="!$globalthread['postuserid'] AND !$globalthread['del_userid']"> guest</vb:if><vb:if condition="$globalthread['moderatedprefix']"> unapproved</vb:if>" id="thread_{vb:raw globalthread.realthreadid}"> Code:
<a href="{vb:link thread, {vb:raw globalthread}, {vb:raw pageinfo_newpost}, 'threadid', 'threadtitle'}" Code:
<a href="{vb:link thread, {vb:raw globalthread}, {vb:raw pageinfo_newpost}, 'threadid', 'threadtitle'}" -- edited per boofo's suggestion -- |
&goto=newpost should be &goto=newpost

edited my instructions anyway... just curious as to the why. Thanks. |
Because the proper W3C validation is with the &. ;)
|
ahh... thanks.
|
If you look through some of the vb code you will see they also use that in a lot of places. There are a few they missed, but it is more of a standard now with links.

I have a little problem with your addon
I installed it on vBulletin 4.1.3 Patch Level 1 and i have enabled it, i created a forum called "Global" and set the "Forum Source" to that forum. I made a post in the "Global" forum but nothing shows up in all the other forums, do you know why ? :/ |
Would you be able to give me a screenshot of settings page for this mod from your admin cp?
Also what permissions did you set for your global forum? Can you confirm you can browse to that forum (the threads aren't hidden)? |
Here is an image of the panel: http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/9277/expbl.jpg
and yes i set the permissions to what the screenshot showed, i can browse it and se all threads but the forum wont show up as it is set to "no" on if it is active or not. |
Could you try changing the last option, "where to place global threads" to see if using a different setting will work at all?
|
ah thanks a lot :) the other 2 options are working fine, "Below Stickies -below Sticky Divide" however will not work.
|
It looks like you need at least 1 regular post in the forum for Below Stickies -below Sticky Divide to work... Did you have any posts in the forum already?
|
Ye i had around 5 posts at the time.
im have another problem now with the new release of 4.1.4, here is a screenshot. http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/2412/expi.jpg |
Unfortunately that screenshot was resized pretty small, I can't see it well- but it looks like the gloabl threads have lost their formatting.
Must be a css change or something with VB 4.1.4... More unfortunate is my license doesn't let me download 4,1.4 so I can't fix this issue either. If you can paste a copy of your threadbit template into a code box here I can see if there are updates I need to make to get this working on 4.1.4. |
where and in what file is the " threadbit template" code your looking for ?
|
Quote:
You'll get a list of templates, double-click on the group Threadbit Templates It will expand, then double click on the template threadbit. It will open, copy and paste the code here. Put it inside [code] and [/code] tags here, you can make them by pressing the # button on the editor when making a new post. |
Hi Joe, tagged for a future install.
I can add that in a widget? thx |
I'm not familiar with widgets, I don't have the VB4 suite, just the forums-only and it doesn't have widgets.
|
Hey again, here is the threadbit code
Code:
|
Wow... OK That's a very different template... I see they went back to using tables! I'll work on converting this tonight and post a new threadbit_global template tonight.
|
OK... first understand that there is probably close to zero chance this will work perfectly... and honestly I'm only 50/50 on if this might work at all since I didn't have a 4.1.4 version to test it on.
But you can go to your Admin CP -> Style Manager -> Choose your style -> Edit Templates. Open the template threadbit_global. Delete everything inside it and replace it all with this: Code:
<tr class="vbs_forumrow threadbit {vb:raw thread.statusstring}<vb:if condition="$show['paperclip']"> attachments</vb:if><vb:if condition="!$globalthread['postuserid'] AND !$globalthread['del_userid']"> guest</vb:if><vb:if condition="$gloablthread['moderatedprefix']"> unapproved</vb:if>" id="thread_{vb:raw thread.realthreadid}"> |
^^That really screws it up.
Great idea, can't use it without the go to last post working. |
I have a 4.1.4 now to test it on, let me see what I can figure out.
|
Tagged for install later on, looks awesome!
Any known issues in 4.1.4? |
