Filter Threads By Post Icon

The 3.5.x version of this hack can be found here.

This hack allows you to click on a post icon, and it will show only the threads with this particular post icon. Once this happens an unfilter button will appear, allowing the user to once again view all threads.

As for WHY someone would want this, here's an answer to that question:

Some forums use the forum icons to convey if a thread has been sufficiently answered or not, or to convey some other meaning. If a poster wants to look for unanswered threads, they could sort by the icon used for the thread.

Think of this as a poor man's thread prefix hack

# of php page edits: 1
# of template edits: 2

Should take less than 5 min to install.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

anyway of having a vba block that only shows new threads with a certain post icon .... just a thought

How server intensive is this?

That'd be a different hack, as it wouldn't be a filter, nor would it be in the main thread view of a forum. It's certainly doable though, I'd post it in the request area.

Damned if I know lol! Can't see it as being that intensive, I'd guess less than a search, as the basic idea is something like IF ICON THEN SHOW ELSE HIDE

Hi, nice hack, but i would like to sort "picon = 0" too, please.

For whatever reason, picon 0 and 1 are the same thing, works on 1 just fine. This may take a bit to figure out. If anyone has an idea, feel free to chime in.

nice work, I really like this.

I did find step 2 slightly different from your instructions when using VB 3.6.1 - here's what I did instead

After:

Code:

        if ($daysprune != -1)

        {

                if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND in_coventry($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], true))

                {

                        $tachyjoin = "LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "tachythreadpost AS tachythreadpost ON " .

                                "(tachythreadpost.threadid = thread.threadid AND tachythreadpost.userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ")";

                        $datecut = " AND (thread.lastpost >= " . (TIMENOW - ($daysprune * 86400)) . " OR tachythreadpost.lastpost >= " . (TIMENOW - ($daysprune * 86400)) . ")";

                }

                else

                {

                        $datecut = "AND lastpost >= " . (TIMENOW - ($daysprune * 86400));

                        $tachyjoin = "";

                }

                $show['noposts'] = false;

        }

        else

        {

                $tachyjoin = "";

                $datecut = "";

                $show['noposts'] = true;

        }

Add:

Code:

 // Start Filter Threads By Post Icon Code Snippet



    if ($picon > 0 && is_numeric($picon) && $picon < 5000) { //who knows if all this is necessary - better safe than sorry 

      $pqr = " AND thread.iconid = '$picon' "; 

      $datecut .= $pqr; 

      } else 

        $picon = ""; 



 // End Filter Threads By Post Icon Code Snippet

Installed and this works fine.

Has anyone been able to add a collapsable box to the top of their forums which includes the post icons and allows you to filter by post icons from there (similar to what the SomethingAwful forums use for those familar with them)?

is there a way i can set it to display the icons for all, but only let registered members filter posts??

*im sure there is, i just cant work it out

First off, Great hack, works well and is a great idea... Something I have been looking for quite some time. Thanks for this.

AS a result of how good this hack is, I have a couple of questions on how I would do a couple of things:

1) I would like to make it MANDATORY that a post icon (or would it be a thread icon?) has to be selected to start a new thread.

2) Is there any way to have different sets of thread/post icons depending on the forum/subforum?

3) Eliminate the hot threads/locked threads column, which is usually to the left of the post icons in the default template. I would like to do this so I can user bigger/wider post icons.

Thanks!

Does this work for 3.6.5? I tried modifying the templates, but I couldn't even find some of the codes to change.

is there a way to display the post icons in a list on the forumdisplay?

Hmm I have installed but when I click on a post icon it does not filter. The unfilter option comes up but everything is the same.

Very Good mod.
However, when editing old threads and changing their icons, they don't apper in the forum display...
New threads show the thread post icon, and I was able to filter without a problem.

nevermind, did bad edit of the PHP file... my bad :-)

I have been trying to get this to work on 3.6.8 and for some reason, I make the coding changes in the php file and the templates but I get nothing. I will go over my edits one more time to make sure I'm not doing something incorrect.

cynthetiq

08-18-2007 01:34 PM

I can't get this to work properly... I am using an extremepixels template and I don't have items to find an replace in the forumdisplay template. If you'd like to see my forumdisplay template I can try to PM or email it to you. I hit the 20000 char limit.

Code:

 

<tr>

 <if condition="$show['threadicons']">

  <td class="thead" colspan="2">&nbsp;</td>

 <else />

  <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>

 </if>

thanks in advance.

Simple, easy to implement, and it works exactly as advertised. Thanks for your efforts! The only problem, though, is that most of my users keep up with recent activity by using "/search.php?do=getnew", and the hack doesn't work on the search results page. Any ideas about how the search PHP code and template can be modified to allow the threadbit part of the hack to filter search results by post icon?
