Hey, how about that, I solved my own problem ;)

I believe that in 2.2.6, the file to update forum post counts and lastposters was changed, so that the "title" is not part of the SELECT statement that is called in order to get the lastposts info. Because of this, $lasttitle is set to blank because according to the code, it tries to set itself using the "title" variable.

As a quick fix, you can simply have the SELECT statement call the title column again. So if you have this hack installed, your code should look like this:

in admin/functions.php:

Just replace it with:

...and you should have no problems with moving/deleting with PPN's Last Title hack.

Now, I don't know if the "title" was taken out of the code for some reason to fix a bug, but if it was, perhaps a better fix that preserves the bugfix might be more useful. But this one's a quick fix.

Thanks again PPN for a great hack.

Do you need to chnage it to this for 2.2.5 too or just 2.2.6?

Probably just for 2.2.6. If you're working ok with the hack and you have 2.2.5 you should probably just leave it be. But if you're having problems when you move or delete posts, then you should probably try to apply the change.

Would it mess anything up to just go ahead and add it to avoid any problmes that could arise? I mean, if it won't hurt anything then it might be a good idea to go ahead and update it.

it screws up my tables, why is that, can anybody please help me...

You need to change the length you want the last time to be in this line:

The default length of the last title is 28 right now. Either make it a smaller number or add space.gif to your forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost like this:

i installed the hack on my test forums and everything seems fine when i upload the files

when i change the template though i get this error on the forums home

any ideas folks? ;)

I would also like to have the posticon used last next to it on the forum home. :)

sorry it took so long to reply, i thought vBulletin would have had a way to do this, but it didn't so i wrote one.

Scott,

Have you had a chance to look at the problem I am haing with apostrophes in the last poster name? (Posts 185 and 186 of this thread). :)
