This looks interesting. Could this be used as a Forum Introduction?

If I understand correctly, this could be used as a "Welcome to xxx forum" that would be displayed at the top of any particular forum?

This would be better(?) than posting a "Welcome..." thread or Announcement:, where visitors might or might not view it. This would be automaticallly displayed & viewed by all that visited the forum where it was posted. Correct?

I assume the admin has the option to post it in any forum?

Thanks...

No, these introductions are in THREADS...see the screenshot.

Is this the same thing that Firefly is using here in the big letters? And how do you get it to automatically do it in the big letters whenever a new thread is started? I tried to run the install php but got errors from the global.php on all 4 line twice. Did I miss something?

Another great hack, Nick! Is there a way that we can have it automatically add the threadintro to the db whenever a new thread is started so we don't have to do it manually for each thread? The editor is a great idea, but can it be made to edit the threadintro in the navbar too? It's best to have them match, if possible. :)

Well, one COULD, but it would take extensive modifications to the showthread_adminoptions template. I'll take a look and post the new contents of that template here if I get it working. ;)

And BTW, the automatic thread intro thing can be done, but would use lots of space...

Okay, to link to the thread introduction changer actually IN the admin options menu, first back up your showthread_adminoptions template in case this doesn't work, then replace it with the following:

Code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<form action="postings.php" method="get"><tr><td>
        <smallfont>
        <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[dbsessionhash]">
        <input type="hidden" name="threadid" value="$threadid">
        <b>Admin Options:</b><br>
        <select name="action"
        onchange="window.location=('this.options[this.selectedIndex].value+'&s=$session[dbsessionhash]&threadid=$threadid')">
                <option value="postings.php?action=editthread" selected>-- Thread Options --</option>
                <option value="postings.php?action=openclosethread">Open / Close Thread</option>
                <option value="postings.php?action=movecopythread">Move / Copy Thread</option>
                <option value="postings.php?action=editthread">Edit Thread</option>
                <option value="postings.php?action=deletethread">Delete Thread / Posts</option>
                <option value="postings.php?action=merge">Merge Threads</option>
                <option value="postings.php?action=split">Split Thread</option>
                <option value="postings.php?action=stick">Stick / Unstick Thread</option>
                <option value="threadintro.php?">Thread Introduction</option>
        </select>$gobutton
        </smallfont>
</td></tr></form>
</table>
