Can someone please please please please! post step by step instructions for this hack to make it appear JUST like THIS board ON 2.2.5!

I'm a complete newbie so don't expect me to know anything, I tried a lot of fixes in this topic but I still don't get a number come up, but just Post # as a link to some phoney number like 32 and 28...

So I am asking this please please do this for me and many others who don't know much about hacking.

bump, Please

What is postbit_ignore and what does it do? I asked this question a while ago and I just got postbit_ignored on it. Is that what it is for? :)

bump for all the unanwered questions here :(

Yeah I have the same prob I only get Post # and no number... my site is http://www.pbfreak.net/forums

im having the same probs

ugh someone PLZ PLZ PLZ help!

Forget it, Knux, apparently there are too few of us having problems with this hack for them to bother supporting it anymore. We're not in the right "click" it seems. :)

that sucks cause now I have (post #) at the top of every post and I really wanted this hack too :(

I'll request an updated version of the hack in the request forum...shall I :confused:

Good luck! They won't support it any better there, I'm afraid. Don't worry, though, I have someone checking it over to see if we can fix it ourselves. As soon as we find something, we'll post it in here. :)

Thanks :)!

working great on vb 2.2.6

with freddy's code and bira's template =)

thank you guys !

First, it's Clique, not "click".

Second, if all of you complaining had actually read through this thread, instead of complaining, you would have figured it out. I'll even use this very hack to help you on your way.

Post 21 has the easy code for showthread.php that works with 2.2.x on up.

Post 33 has a very nice template change (Postbit) that makes the link to posts appear just like it does on these forums.

Finally, post 47 has a minor update to the link, in case you get "Post #" but no actual number to show up.

I installed this on 2.2.6. A heavily hacked 2.2.6 at that. It works fine. Posts count across threads like they should and I have noticed zero change in server load. There's no need to "update" this to 2.2.6 because if you read this thread it already is. They've even put Freddies easy update for 2.03 and above (and yes, that means all the way to 2.2.6) in the first post.

It took me 5 minutes of skimming through this thread to discover the above and maybe another 2 minutes to install the working hack. Please keep this in mind next time before you complain about lack of support.

Thanks for the spelling lesson. However it is spelled, I got my point across. As far as complaining goes, the only complaint I have is that getting help for some hacks is dependent on who you are, it seems. I have an Admin CP hack I am working on myself, but I also remember what it was like in the beginning with installing some of these hacks. It was overwhelming, to say the least. As you do more of them and tinker with things, you start to pick up a few things here and there along the way.

All I was trying to say was that we ALL need to remember that we were once in the same spot as alot of the newbies here. We didn't know as much about it then as we know now. I still have alot to learn, but I'm learning more and more with every hack install. Everyone needs to be a little more patient and understanding. Nobody knows it all and anyone who says he or she does, is a liar. If you don't want to help the new people with the "stupid" questions (as I have heard them called), then don't release your hack to the public. I thought we were all here to learn and have some fun along the way, and I STILL believe that is the case here. People like Firefly and Lesane (and some others, too) make installing hacks alot easier to understand and learn something from. We need more people like them here, that is all I was trying to say. :)

Didn't say they were "stupid" questions. And as for helping newbies, I agree - and I think that's exactly what I did, by providing links to the relevent posts. I mean, I could have just said "read the thread!" and left it at that, right?

There are tons of hacks here. Sometimes authors may not be able to keep up with them after months - I mean, this hack was released what, 8 months ago? Newbies need to learn just like we did that a lot of the time the answer may be right in front of them:)

I wasn't referring to you saying anything. I was referring to what I have heard here before. And, yes, you did help by supplying the links, and I'm sure the new people thank you for that. But making users who are new at this feel bad by "scolding them", doesn't make them feel any better about not knowing. :)

As far as authors not supporting their hacks, I don't agree with you on that. There are a few authors here who STILL support their hacks no matter how long it's been. There are very few authors here who have done that many hacks that they can't find the time to support them. Some people just get the attitude that "if it works for me, then that's all I care about".

I do agree with you, however, that the new people DO need to learn to read the threads a little more carefully. I find myself at times not wanting to go through 20 pages of messages looking for an answer, too, so I have been bad at that myself. :) I'm trying to do better on that and read more.

If we know an answer, or like you did here, can point it out, then maybe the new people will catch on faster and have the opportuninty that alot of users didn't and get the help they need so they can go on to help others along the way. Like a chain reaction sort of thing. For every one person you help, they can help 10. And so on and so on.

I'll help anyone I can. And I have tried to, but there are alot of things I don't know enough about yet to be of too much help to alot of people. All I can do is try and hope I help someone somewhere along the way. :) We should all do more of that, don't you agree? :)

Ironic??? I read the whole post and I still get Post # here is a link to prove it....

http://www.pbfreak.net/forums/showth...=6967#post6967

Somewhere in this thread there are some posts about the postcount variable clashing with a variable from another hack. Since I never had the same problem you are having, I didn't pay much attention to it, sorry. :)

Let's start here...what version of vbulletin are you running? If you are running version 2.03 and up here is what you need to do. (If you've already done this, try it again and if it still doesn't work, let me know and we WILL get it working for you somehow. :))

I am running 2.2.5 and thx for the help :D and I have had that stuff there that is what I origonally put it... Oh and another thing I can't find:

$postbits .= getpostbit($post);

But I can find:

$postbits = getpostbit($post);

It's in there. Do this...look for $postbits and it should be about the third time you find that one.

Can someone tell me what the postbit_ignore-template actually is?
I was able to place the variable next to the "edit"-button in the postbit-template but where to put it in the postbit_ignore-template?

Thanks in advance.

The postbit_ignore template is what is used when you have users on the ignore list. As far as where to put it in the postbit_ignore template, I asked that same question in here quite a while ago and have never received an answer. :)

I now put it in there like this (I hope you don't mind the translation):

<normalfont>Dieser Benutzer ist auf Deiner <b>Ignorier-Liste</b>. Um diesen Beitrag (<a href="showthread.php?postid=$post[postid]#post$post[postid]"><smallfont>Posting Nr. $post[postcount]</smallfont></a>) zu sehen,...

Sounds like it is right, but I don't know for sure. Does it work?

Looks like it does :)

Looks like you have it mastered! I'll be coming to you for help from now on. :)

No problem :)

I put the post number thing in front of the Report Post to Moderator link to save space. Putting it at the top of the post creates a gap.

Just put this code in the postbit before that report post link. :)

Thx alot I fixed it the thrid one down was actually:

I think I changed it bcuz of a hack but thx alot anyways!

At me on each new page of number of posts begin with 1

A slight problem I'm noticing with freddie's code (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...914#post205914) which doesn't appear on this site:

When viewing an ignored user's message, a small window pops up with "View single message" at the top. This window *seems* to be using the postbit template and not have a template of it's own, however, $post[postcount] returns nothing in this window.

On vb.org, it shows "post #1". Preferably it would be more accurate to show the actual link number in this window (i.e. if this is the 20th post in the thread, to show "post #20" in the view single message window.

Any ideas on how to account for this situation?

Paul

Edit: Steps to reproduce problem:

1. Place a user on your ignore list.
2. View a thread where they've posted.
3. Click on the <click here to view this post> link.
4. Stare mindlessly at weird post # value ;D

G'day gang,

I've taken the liberty of compiling a new text file of instructions for this hack for recent versions of vBulletin, taking into account the change of variable name from postcount to postnumber, as well as the placing of the post number as it is here at vBulletin.org (top right of posts).

This works perfectly on my forums (on which I use the postbit_first hack for a couple of forums). All posts are numbered from #1 down, and continue on across multiple pages (it doesn't reset to #1 at the top of another page in a thread).

Thanks to bira for a great and useful hack! Here's hoping this comes standard with vB3.

X-fan: I'm not understanding why you changed $post[postcount] to $post[postnumber], other than you just prefered that naming convention.

This does not fix the problem I described above however. showpost, the template that displays ignored posts when they are viewed, uses the postbits template to create the message. This breaks things when it comes to post numbering.

I've tried simply copying in the contents of postbits into showpost, however it appears that all $post[...] variables don't work when you do that. I haven't really looked into why, but it probably involves editing showthread.php. Any pointers here would be appreciated. There are a number of things I'd like to change in the single view post and this would help a lot.

Paul

how is it possible to put the latest 'postid' and 'threadid' on the index page?

Using X-Fan's instructions and Knux' info on the changed line [which I also have] I got this working on 2.2.6 on my first attempt [I read the whole thread before starting]. Thanks everyone who contributed, especially Bira!

Hi all !

There is a bug here.

Try this :

+ Ignore one member in this page.

+ Come back this page, and look at her/his post

+ You will see one report about "ignore list". Try click at "here" word on his/her post.

+ You will see one new pop-up window with alone his/her post.

However, look at the corner right and top, you'll see "(post #1)", although it must be #106 - #117.

Who can fix this bug ... for vbulletin.org ? :))

J/k man !

For some reason I can't get this to work properly in 2.2.6

Guess I have to miss out on this great hack :(

Oh, so it doesn't work in 2.2.6? Well.... It has to, FireFly's using it here.... Or it is a different code? FireFly?

Hi,

I use this Hack on my Version 2.2.6, work's great!
