Extra forumbit controls

1 Attachment(s)

This adds 4 mini icons (famfam) corresponding to each forum on forumhome and forumdisplay (subforums)

DEMO1
DEMO2

The 4 controls added are:-

Read new Posts
Create a new thread
Subscribe to Forum
RSS Feed

1. First upload the 4 attached icons in images/misc/ folder.

2. Then in Forum Home Templates/forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find this:

Code:

<td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]" >

Add below:-

Code:

<div style="float:right">

<a href="search.php?do=getnew&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/newposts.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Read New Posts" /></a>



<a href="newthread.php?do=newthread&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/newthread.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Create a New Thread" /></a>



<a href="subscription.php?do=addsubscription&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/subscribe.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Subscribe" /></a>



<a href="external.php?type=rss2&forumids=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/rss.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="RSS feed" /></a>

</div>

3. Then in Forum Home Templates/forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

Find this:

Code:

<td><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="9" height="1" border="0" /></td>

                        <td width="100%">

Make the change in the above code (in red) and add below:-

Code:

<div style="float:right">

<a href="search.php?do=getnew&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/newposts.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Read New Posts" /></a>



<a href="newthread.php?do=newthread&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/newthread.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Create a New Thread" /></a>



<a href="subscription.php?do=addsubscription&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/subscribe.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Subscribe" /></a>



<a href="external.php?type=rss2&forumids=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/rss.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="RSS feed" /></a>

</div>

Thats it!

a) Obviously, works in all vb versions!
b) Yes, it is XHTML valid.
c) If this has been released before, then sorry.

Is there anything else required to make the RSS work though?

I just get a blank screen when I click on any RSS icon.

Well, I found a reference somewhere on how to turn it on, but hadn't thought it worked.

In fact, in Firefox, it doesn't, but in IE it is fine (I hadn't tried IE)..

I'll investigate further, and thanks for the prompt response, much appreciated!

Cheers,
Dave

EDIT : It is working on both now, must have been caching or something.. Sorry to have bothered you all :)

Cool mod. I'm no coder, but should these 4 icons have an <if> rule so that it shows only for members logged in?

Look carefully in the description, at the bottom an inch below where it says "

So whats the error? Are you talking about forumids, if yes, the forumid and forumids both work fine.

If you want to hide it from guests, just wrap the code within:

HTML Code:

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



<!-- Code here -->



</if>

in 3.8.0 forumids does not work, it has to be replaced with forumid on mine.

At first impression(15min working)... very very nice mod.

Other great improvement for this is adding the four vb phrases to translate the mod on forum. ;)

everything is possible!

I don't use the recent threads cmps module, so you'll have to figure it out.

The code remains the same, you'll probably need to add it in adv_portal_recthreads_exp_head OR adv_portal_recthreads_exp template. It would be easy, try it out.

Enable all the options in External data provider. If it still doesn't work, try it in the fresh default style.
