Hi,

I was wondering if there would be a simple way to (or if there are plans to) create a hack allowing people to store their favorite posts ON the forums?

I figured up along the Homepage, Email, Edit, etc icons there would be one with a little disk on it that would add that thread to your list of favorite threads...any thoughts? :)

That's a cool idea - kinda like a favorite topics that the visitor can keep track of. Good idea :)

Thanks! I think it would be a killer addition...maybe it could display them just like the ones on the main forums...with special icons next to them if there's been a post since their last visit to their favorite threads page. :)

Dang...if only I knew PHP and SQL. :)

This would be accomplished with the much requested "Email Notification Page" (like FuseTalk has).

A user can add any thread to his email notification page by clicking an icon on the thread. This page would then allow users to quickly see what threads they have added and remove them at their leisure.

rangersfan,

Sounds like that would work..with a bit of modification (any volunteers?! :)) it would accomplish exactly what I had in mind...where can I find it? Did a search on the forums but couldn't find it. :(

Oh it hasn't been made, just asked alot for..

Oh I see... :)

Any brilliant programmers out there willing to take this one on? :)

oohhhhh that would be a great addition...

sorry i don't know php at all.. :(

C'mon people...make a little boy's dream come true! hehe :)

Let me do some load up thinking here :D
Ok, if you want to store your favorite threads in a special place, that only you could see:

First you'd need to make an extra table to the database. When a user submits a thread to his 'thread diposatory', a thread would be copied from the threads table to the new table, and tagged with the user's name (for retrieval)

Then when a users visits his thread collection, all the threads with the correct tag (username) would be selected.

It could be done with some mysql querys and a little hacking :)

hi everyone, thought i'd jump in without the php knowledge :D

i came across this php script called bookmarker at
http://www.renaghan.com/pcr/bookmarkerd.html

could this be integrated into vbulletin as a favourite threads hack ? i have no idea of php so will let you guys mess with it...

i am going to install bookmarker as a standalone thing... but thought i let others know about it

has anyone had any success in making this hack?
for that matter, has anyone even tried to make this hack?

It will probably be a server hog, but it would still be a great feature for those boards that can afford it.
