I'd love to see it in vb4 also. Why didn't the peeps at vbulletin just include this anyway?

Hi there,

Ok, I got this one work on vb4.0.2, just a hard way.

After installation I disabled all plugins with the hook global_start, because they're throwing warnings to use the class vB_Template instead of fetch_template(). I'm not savvy enough how to do this, it seems to be very tricky.

After disabling the plugins I did the template edits manually, as they must be edited the templates threadbit, showthread, search_results_postbit, newthread, editpost, threadadmin_editthread.

As an example for the threadbit template:

Just look for the place where you want the template edit have, I would have the thread description under the thread title. So the place to search in threadbit was:

PHP Code:


		
			
<a class="title<vb:if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"> threadtitle_unread</vb:if>" href="{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}, {vb:raw pageinfo}, 'threadid', 'threadtitle'}" id="thread_title_{vb:raw thread.realthreadid}">{vb:raw thread.threadtitle}</a>

                </h3>

After this I added:

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$vboptions[description_active]"><vb:if condition="$thread[description] != ''">

<span><i>{vb:var thread.description}</i></span><br />

</vb:if></vb:if>

It's a little code reading for do it in all the templates, but it works for me. Don't worry, death is also not for free, it takes life.

L.R.

should be by default on vB 4

Installed and now not work for me.
Mod active but:
- New Thread - I don't see any Description
- Edit - I see Description, but when I edit & save... nothing saves. Reply Edit = Description is empty.

Default or modifed style not matter - not works

vb382 + vbseo330

Fix it ok:

Forums & Moderators/Forum manager/Choose Forum ID need show description then save again --> show ok

Is there a version of this mod for vb 4.0.x?

And Can it show more than one line of the thread description?

excellent work :)

A modification i was looking for :)

Is there a version of this for vb 4.0.x? Not being able to show thread description along with thread started is truly annoying.

any version for 4.0.7?????? For me no works............ ;=(

I wish we had a mod like this for 4.0.x This is an essential feature which should actually be a default feature.

What can I change in the xml file so the thread descriptions can be links?

any chance for vb 4.1.3 ??

thank you

I believe I have found a bug with this hack. I didn't see any other users posting up about this so perhaps they just haven't noticed so I will explain what I've found.

Let's say you have a thread that has been soft deleted. While at the forumdisplay where you can see all the threads in that forum, you can see your soft deleted thread, and you can either click on VIEW or MANAGE and there is the little trash can icon. If you click on MANAGE then it brings you to the EDIT THREAD page where you can manage the thread.

But now instead of clicking MANAGE click on VIEW which will bring you into the soft deleted thread. Now in the very first post click on the TRASH CAN ICON that is in the bottom right corner. Now this should take you to the EDIT POST page that is similar to the EDIT THREAD page that manage took you to, however it keeps taking me to a basically blank page that only shows my header and footer but nothing in the middle.

Now if I leave my browser on this page, go into AdminCP -> Plugin & Product System and DISABLE the "Thread Description - Add to Admin Edit Thread Template", then go back to the window where I was viewing the half blank page and hit REFRESH, it now shows the Edit Thread page like it should.

So the issue is something to do with the "Thread Description - Add to Admin Edit Thread Template"

Any ideas and can anyone else confirm if they're having this issue or not?

BTW I am using vB v3.8.7b1 and I have tried using the default style which still gives the same results.

Installed! Works perfectly with vBulletin 3.8.7 PL3. Thank you for sharing this, I gave it 5/5!
