Chen,
Could a template be created that consists of two frames. The top frame would be a frame for a link back to our board. The bottom frame would be the external page that we linked to. Then, instead of calling the refresh to the new page, your hack would refresh to a script that took the link as a parameter, and then displayed the framed page template?

Sorry if that is confusing.
Amy

this is a great idea. specially for a VB powered frontpage. you could use an invisible forum and grab the list of threads with a query.
thanks firefly for this cool hack. :)

FireFly you da king!!

thanx :)

Never mind, Chen. I got it. :D

Amy

Great hack this is. I'm using it together with c-prOmpt's excellent hack
Thanks again FireFly.

Chen:

I added the ability to Edit the Title of the link too using

$thread['deletelink'] = "<br>( <a href=\"postings.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=deletethread&threadid=$thread[threadid]\"> Delete</a> | <a href=\"postings.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=stick&threadid=$thread[threadid]\">Stick | Unstick</a> | <a href=\"postings.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=editthread&threadid=$thread[threadid]\"> Edit Title</a> )";

Is there anyway to write this so that when you do post a new thread and use the title to go to a different url where it goes back to the original thread (when you first post it) instead of going to the new link?

Parker

In file newthread.php, find:
} elseif ($visible) {
and replace with:
} elseif ($visible and $link=='') {

Thanks. I tried that before but I guess I put it in wrong. It is working great now.

Parker

The ability to make the link a stick would be great. Is that planed?

you have horriable install instructions for n00bs.

a readme laying out the steps would really be nice.
