Thank you for fixing this issue.
. I love this hack I can't tell you enough times This thing ROCKS.... I wish I could vote more than once for MOTM.................

Very nice job on this.. Thanks!

/me nominates.

Thanks for the support the problem was found and fixed in minutes By MAGNUS... Your the man thank you very much............. Great work

can it be set to show last post instead of first post? cheers

Better yet how about FIRST AND LAST? That would be the coolest

Yea, it could be set to lastpost pretty easily. In fact, I'll make it a toggle for the next release.

In the meantime, simply edit the threadbit template and replace all instances of $thread[firstpostid] with $thread[lastpostid] -- that'll do it. :P

So would it be possible to display both? The first and last post? That would make it real easy to check out a post....... IMO

I have three instances of this in my template one being at the very top of the template should I also change that one?

Looks awesome! Good work.

Hello,

3.5 please ?

Good hack :up:

Thanks,

C?dric ;)

Awesome. I'll be keeping an eye on this and installing after it has more testing. :)

How does this perform query wise? Will this add heavy load to my server? How many queries does it add?

I did everything as you instructed but still I can't see the plus sign in forumdisplay.

Nevermind, it worked!

/me clicks install!

This Hack rocks :)

Thx - This is the best hack for long time :)

Installed

Nominate for MOTM

Works great!!

Should definitely be Nominated for MOTM. :)

I'm guessing there are no options to configure? I would like to see a "Forum Exclude" in the future, so that you could block certain forums from using this. The First/Last post toggle also sounds like a good idea.. or maybe somehow display +/- toggles for both? :) I guess that could be really server intensive though..

Since this is in Beta I'll try my best to test it out. I haven't had any problems yet.

It doesn't "add" any queries. The only queries are when someone clicks to expand thread, the same query that is run if someone was to click the thread anyway.

I like the idea of an exclusion list, I'll add that. Thanks. :)

Also, it's not really in Beta. I always enable "Beta status" for my hacks, because I'm always tinkering. Once I stop updating the modifications, I remove the Beta status. :)

Update:
1.2.0

• New AdminCP configuration options:
  • Ability to select first or last post to be displayed.
  • Ability to disable on a per forum basis.
  • Option to update thread views when expanded.
  • Option to disable automatic template editing with a single click.
• Tweaked a couple plugins to prevent unnecessary checking.

[hr]-[/hr]
Template edits have changed! If you're not using automatic template edits, please review the changes in this post.

DO NOT DISABLE TEMPLATE EDITING BY DISABLING PLUGINS! THIS METHOD IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE! USE THE NEW ADMINCP OPTION!

Otherwise, just import and overwrite as usual.

?? Huh?

I'm assuming he has removed the avatar, title and signature and only provided the post message when someone expands.

Ah. :p

Can it also update the number of unread posts for user once you click on it?

I think i see what your saying here. Since you viewed the thread, it shouldn't be seen in the "New Posts" area right?

That's correct.

Very cool hack here. One question though and I apologize if this has been addressed, but is there anyway for it to call for the style's postbit when displaying the first or last post? Or if not that, where could I go to modify what it displays by default?

Thanks for the release magnus.

Edit the template vbpost_postbit to look however you like.

Truly a work of art

LOL!!

*Clicked install

it would be very nice if i could have the first AND the last posting:)

it wouldn't be impossible, but how would you like it displayed?

hmm one icon with a 1(first:D ) and the + maybe?

3.5 please :confused:

This may be a dumb question but if you have a protected forum (for say admins only), does this mod use the forum's permissions or could someone who would not have permission to see a forum or view topics within a forum be able to use this mod to view posts in hidden or protected forum?

Thanks in advance.

i really like this mod and dont know if its possible to do this or not but i think it would be even more useful if a basic quick reply was added in so you dont even have to click on the thread to respond.

Here's a demo. woot!

Suggestion: In some way, have a button or link that says Reply?

I was thinking this wasn't working but realized that it appears on the forum display and not on the index (forum list page). I mean DUH! I can be ditz sometimes.

I never use the forumdisplay to look at posts, I always click on the last post icon on the index page. Is there a way to add this nifty feature to the forum list page?

Thanks in advance.

That would be sweet to have this mod on the forumhome. Where when they click the expand, it will show the latest 5 threads?

Oh yessssss indeed! I have been looking for a mod to display like the last 5 or 6 threads! This is definitely on my wish list!!! I could see this mod easily taking the MOTM!


One other question, how do I change the font style of the expanded post to use the small font style as designated by the style?

You can define how the posts looks, add a reply button and the like simply by editing the vbpost_postbit template.

Yea thanks, but some of us here don't know much about coding or designing. It would be great if you can have that as a new addition. At least a reply button or link, that will quote there message.
