Purchased, installed, and now I think, and can be made ​​visible thread T1 in forums F1, F2, and thread T2 visible in the forums F3, F4?
Or can not do?
If not, I bought this hack by mistake, and I do not need.

And if you use this hack, first set the display area in the forums by F1 and F2, then display a thread T1, then change the display area to forums F3 and F4, and display a thread T2? Thread T1 also jump from the forums F1, F2 to forums F3, F4?

Jump! No fix those! So it was not good enough!

And this can not be improved?
Or make a separate control threads, or at least give them the opportunity to fix, not to jump when you change the display area?

Preferably not in the admin cp, but in the thread to ask where it will be displayed.

This is feature request and I hope that author will make it. :up:

This mod is not designed to choose which forums individual threads show in, sorry. I do not anticipate adding this feature in the future either, it would be a major coding change.

Just to be clear- in the free version global thread show in ALL forums. In the paid version you can restrict forums but the same settings apply to all threads. For example if you didn't want global threads to show in moderator forums or sponsor's forums.

Just found your other version an had it installed with a custom forum for threads. Didn't think that was to bad of an idea helps keep track of what you have. Then noticed this version an have this working off the custom forum. What I'm not understanding is why doesn't the global thread act like a sticky by default? I see your description it was by design, but what use would there be for a normal post being global. So I have it global an sticky with global prefix off so they show as just stickies on every forum. It works perfect like that an I really appreciate this mod. I made a forum rules post an wanted it everywhere but was having to copy to each forum. Needless to say I didn't get far doing it that way.

This is the second mod of yours I've found this weekend that is major bonus to my website. The sidebar anywhere is great when filling up sparce pages like activity stream or FAQ.

Joe I have a suggestion / request for an additional feature. I would love to see a selection of expiration times for the global threads. For example I'd love to be able to put a 1 week, 2 week, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, or never expiration date on the thread so when the thread expires it turns into a normal thread in the forum it was posted in.

This is a good suggestion, one I will seriously consider implementing but not sure when that will be. I will let you know if/when i do.

Is this good to go in 4.2.1 BOP? Looks extremely useful for me as I have feature writers that want their own Forum but write a variety of topics in their own subforums and it would be great to be able to move their threads to a suitable Topic forum.

Working fine for me on 4.2.1.

Just a bump ;)

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks again for this mod. I use it daily. I have a few busy forums and I love creating global threads to create a large discussion. You are the best my friend! Thanks again.

Just a heads up. We have experienced an issue where if you make a thread global and then promote it to a CMS article no one will have permission to view the original thread. Not even superadmins.

Not a big deal really. It is simply fixed by "Don't do that." And it is no issue to just create an article directly.

Any potential solution to this?

I'm sorry I can't reproduce the issue...

This thread global thread was promoted to an article and it's perfectly visible/fine to me and even to guests-

Thread:
http://www.qapla.com/mods/showthread...d-Article-Test

Article:
http://www.qapla.com/mods/content.ph...d-Article-Test

The "Global Thread" is just 1 additional field added to the thread table that the article system would completely ignore. The only thing that makes a global thread global is a change to the query that finds threads in a specific forum- it really shouldn't have anything to do with permissions at all. I'd imagine the issue is coming from somewhere else.

Badump bump ;) School has kept me from being able to tinker around myself, but it looks like you've been pretty busy too :)

4.2.1 works , thanks, installed , tagged , 5 stars ;)

Nice mod. I'm having one weird issue where the thread goes global and after a couple of hours it de-globalizes itself. Not sure what's going on

Something similar I had when posting new messages initiated change of global state from on to off.

Check if this happens when you post new posts.

Yup, its because of new posts that are made within the global thread. Anyway to change that?

I think I did manual template edit, but now you have this:

Just disable option in new posts to (un)make thread global.

It was long time ago, but I think this did the trick for me.

Love the mod!!

I'd like to be able to change the color of the prefix on the threads but I'm having difficulty finding where...any help would be appreciated!

Wasn't intended to be changed but the way you could do this would be to go to the Plugin Manager, edit the plugin called Global Threads Template Edits [OK] and find the code:

Change it to:

Then you can add code to the additional.css template to control the color using CSS, example would be-

Would make bold, blue prefixes.

Thank you!

It's been our experience we've attract more thread views on our forum using simple HTML in the "Rich Text" options in Thread Prefixes.

College sports forum so it enables us to attract fans for individual sports that may not follow all sports. (IE: Basketball and baseball fans might not follow softball, but baseball fans alone would...if that makes sense.)

'preciate the help!!

Is there a way for "global threads" to show up on forumhome as well?

Not with this mod, sorry.

Hi BirdOPrey5,

i just found about this great mod. I've installed it - enabled it - but the Make thread Global Options are not appearing. Not in the dropdown, in "new thread" it's working.

(did the manual edit of the template)

But when i make a thread global, it's just like a normal thread. only showing in the forum i've created it.

Any idea what had gone wrong?

add: globe is not showing, even after the template edit

Figured I'd bump it one more time :D

This MOD is amazing! Installed, nominated, and cherished. Very suitable for my needs, thank you!

Does this mod allow me to designate a specific forum in which all threads are global threads? (IE all threads posted in a select forum, will show in all forums.)

No, but this one does- https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=258084

Since I saw your latest reply I figured I'd give this idea another bump :)

bump bump :D

I've noted the suggestion. It would be a significant change, I don't foresee it happening anytime soon I'm afraid. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Awww bummer :(

Hello, I am a super moderator on a forum where this mod is installed, and it used to work for me, but for some reason, I don't get the choice to create or disable a global thread anymore (this may have been so for a while, as we don't use the feature very often), while other mods (some will less permissions than I) still have this option.

What should I look for?

Maybe the admin removed it from you

If by admin, you mean the owner, I asked, and he didn't... at least not on purpose. :D

I do have full admin rights btw, and I can actually edit the mod's settings via the admin CP, but for some weird reason, cannot access the mod in the normal forum interface...

Is there a place where this mod can be turned on/off for a single moderator?

No settings on a per-moderator basis. The paid version can give permissions per user but only give permissions, not take away. If the usergroup is supposed to have it, it should show.

Is it possible you are using a different style than the other moderators?

If you have "Admin Access" (access to the Admin CP) that would generally make you an Admin- I'm a bit confused why you would say you're a super-moderator if you're an admin? I know it doesn't directly have anything to do with the Global Thread issue but I often find things I thought had no relation sometimes turn out to be related all along and maybe the explanation would help me understand what is going on?

Sorry, I shouldn't have messed the terminology. I am an admin.

We found the issue. It's related to me being assigned to a custom user group, although this user group should theoretically have the same permission settings as the "default" admin one, yet it won't let me use global threads.
I wasn't able to find a parameter in the user group which could be responsible for this, so I assume something went wrong when the group was created in the first place...

If it is a different usergroup id (Admin usergroup is id 6) then it isn't going to get permissions this mod gives to the administrator group. Basically when it says Administrators it means anyone who has Usergroup 6 as a primary or secondary usergroup.
