For the inevitable, what do you mean? What does this do? ;)

Vague? One would think that anyone who uses vB would know instinctively what this does...all Announcements on vBulletin.com are made in this fashion - One announcement thread, and another to discuss it.

6 install's ..... and evryone succesed?
hm.....
Just try to install on localhost board. Redo all nesasery operations 3 times and.... Nothing happend :(. Only admincp options avable (all nessesary option's cheked there), but when start a new thread, no one chekbox added to new thread.

My steps:
1. install this extension
2. go to http://localhost/forum/admincp/forum.php?do=edit&f=1. Select second forum (see pic1.gif)
3. go directly to http://localhost/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=1 and start new thread.

What i do wrong?

Give the usergroup rights to create a discussion thread and then you can see the box when creating a newthread :D

How can I set a variable in the title to be stripped by this hack?

At the moment all of my announcements at pre-fixed [Announcement]. So when the auto thread is created I get [Discussion] [Announcement] Topic Name.

Is there a way to strip [Announcement] out without having to edit the thread title each time?

Also, how do I have a link auto created in the discussion thread linking back to the announcement thread?

But still another inspired idea. :)

eNforce 01-29-2006 08:42 PM
This is a nice hack :D

Only issue I have is when the "discussion thread" is created it disables smilies in the post until you uncheck the 'disable smilies' box.

jluerken 03-15-2006 12:27 PM
Hi Andreas,

your PM box here reached its limit. Please clean up so that I can reach you again :D

Is it possible that you add an extra option to this hack in the forumsettings

1. Force Discussion thread creation
2. Discussion thread on user choice (default)

If the first option is marked for a forum than a discussion thread should be created every time a user creates a new thread (without changing the thread in any way. like doing a thread copy as board admin).

If the second option is marked it should be like it is now.

I have a board where users should post applications and the admins should get a notification in their board and should have an option to talk about this application.
I think your hack can solve this for me with this little modification.

Can you do this?

I installed this hack but Autmatic disucssion checkbox doesnt appears in Newthread template, i set permission for my usergroup and defined destination forum in admincp
any idea ?

Ramsesx 09-03-2007 06:42 AM
Works fine on 3.6.7 thanks

fta2k 02-26-2008 01:00 PM
If anyone has time to look at this I know its unsupported but why can only admin post
a discussion thread, I have all usergroups set to yes for can post discussion thread...

Would someone be able to write this with out usergroup permissions so everyone
can do it, or make it so I can hard code the usergroups that can. thank you

ishare 03-06-2008 09:52 AM
Works fine with 3.7 Beta 5 too.
Thanks a lot

Datenpapst 04-09-2008 11:01 AM
Is there a possibility to get the Thread Content also as a quote or so in the Discussion Hack?

fta2k 06-29-2008 02:44 AM
Is there any way to make the post discussion check automatically?

Wanting to make it so that if a post is made the discussion post is made by default.

Yes there is!
Change the following lines of the Plugin newthread_form_complete from
PHP Code:
$checked['autodiscuss'] = ($_POST['autodiscuss']) ? 'checked="checked"' : ''; 
to
PHP Code:
$checked['autodiscuss'] = ($_POST['autodiscuss'] OR empty($postpreview)) ? 'checked="checked"' : '';

Thank you very much, I'm going to try it now.

Worked an absolute treat.

Thanks mate

There is a small bug in this addon.

Pressing PREVIEW while creating a new thread does create a discussion thread.
Andreas is there a way to get an update for this hack with?

btw. working great on 3.7.3

Andreas 09-27-2008 04:10 PM
Should be easy to fix.

Please remind me via E-Mail if no fix is available as of October 20th.

bigcurt 05-06-2009 03:41 PM
Possibly an update for 3.8 or does this work without an update?

Thanks

Kobra Khan 05-11-2009 04:46 AM

bigcurt 09-26-2009 09:18 PM
Would love to see an update for this.

fta2k 07-05-2010 12:07 AM
Just installed in 3.8.4 again and it's working like a charm

jluerken 09-22-2010 10:04 AM
I really love this hack and I want to know if there is a vb4 version available already?

jluerken 10-02-2010 04:10 PM
Hey Andreas, any plans to update this for vb4.x?

jluerken 12-21-2010 12:27 PM
bump

jluerken 03-07-2013 07:18 PM
Hey Andreas, it's a while ago now and I am still using and loving your addon.
Really would like to see a version for vB 4.2.

jluerken 03-08-2013 07:25 AM
Ok it works with vb4.2 also with a small change.

In the "newthread" template search for
Code:
                                        {vb:raw disablesmiliesoption}
and add above
Code:
                                        <vb:if condition="$show['autodiscuss']">
                                        <li>
                                                <label for="cb_autodiscuss"><input type="checkbox" name="autodiscuss" value="1" id="cb_autodiscuss" tabindex="1" $checked[autodiscuss] /> {vb:rawphrase post_assigned_discussion_thread}</label>
                                        </li>
                                        </vb:if>
The change in the readme file is for older vb version where phrases where called differently.
If the phrase does not show up, create a new one of type GLOBAL with the text you want and the name "post_assigned_discussion_thread"
