Low priority will be given to posters who do not have this marked as installed

great idea! thank you

Right on..

I hate it when ppl reply to a 200 years old thread, sometimes asking stuff :)

Thanks

This is great.. thx

With a slight template and phrase change, this is neat.

I use this in conjuction with 'Dont bump old threads' mod. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hlight=bumping



:)

I just installed on a 4.1.0 and even with this enabled I'm not seeing any changes in the threads.

The AdminCP stuff is there (and enabled).

Any ideas where to start troubleshooting?

I just installed on 4.1.0 and everything is working fine!

I think that maybe an option to add this to the very last post will be good too, maybe as an option???

Also what about this warning only on really inactive threads, for me its ok to bump a 6 year old thread lol but at least they must see the warning.

attention is a simple warning, there are other addons that allow nodump


I am aware that I used bad English :P


@ Supramania
The addon adds text to the message, do you have selected the forum in the options?


@ CRDeveloper
is possible, but this is not no bump hack.

The addon has the function to inform users that the content of the post is old and may no longer be true

there is Prevent bumping old Threads for vb4 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....5&postcount=82

Well i was testing another mod and created a new thread, i have set this up to 90 days (actually i didnt even change the default setting) and in the new thread this warning pop up!!!

WTH??

Excellent = 5 stars

installed

translated to Arabic , plzz be nice and add the XML file to 1st. orignal post

--------
update XML file after fixing it => it is now for version 4.1.4

CRDeveloper, I'm sorry but this bug had never found in the test, this is very strange because I check on the date of entry post, you may bring a stamp

Thanks

thanks

4.1.1 worked, Thanks for fixed

Hi there,

???????????

Where do you have this "warning.png"? I couldn't find any ...

Anyway, great idea, I'll give it a try.

Best regards

L.R.

Funny, I just found and fixed myself but good job Asterix_ita



:up:

Asterix_ita, change || to &&

Here

There should be enough, as only now known that the variable $post['edit_date'] is not unix format

I run other tests in order to make it stable

Now it is ok

thank you bro

In version 4.1.2 was reintroduced last modified date checking.

waiting your feedback on the correct control

thanks

When click on puplished topic at VBCM

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class vB_Bootstrap_Forum in /home/xxx/domains/xxx.com/public_html/includes/class_bootstrap.php on line 1619

on 4.1.2

I did some tests with the vb suite, and I can not reproduce the error.

I created a new article, and I have promoted a post and in both situations everything went through.

I have the test run on vb 4.1.0 suite

Edit

Tell me if you solve the problem with this version

Installed. Thanks!

Yes, this version (4.1.3) have no errors in 4.10 suite at VBCM, also disappear warning after last edited

4.1.2 seems to work fine.

edit: bootstrap error cms

thank you agaen bro

working very good

Cannot redeclare class vB_Bootstrap_Forum error

410 ok
411 ok
412 error

post24 file ok

thank you for update

4.1.4 add more template

Will this automatically remove the warning if someone does post in the thread after the warning has been applied?

As described in the presentation control is performed only on the first post, the subsequent responses are not taken into consideration.

This addon will be testing the goodness of the information of 1 post, which is why it is useful to guide/tutorial thread

thank you for update bro

nice work

i update translation to ( Arabic XML )

Hi there,

I have everything installed as per instructions, the text works fine.

However the icon does not appear.

Looking at the sites source code the location of the image does not match up with the upload instructions.

Maybe I am doing something wrong, I'm not sure.

Forgive me if it's something simple, I'm only new at this.

Below is the path shown in the pages source

after a little trial and error I have it working now :)

Cheers

Nice installed, could do with the option to add to last post as well if possible

nice mod, had it installed on my forum

but would like to have that option, to show the warning on the last post

Installed with thanks ... :)

Unfortunately, it can be confusing as it seems to key off the original post date and not the most recent post's date?

Even if a thread for information was started years ago, if the most current information posted is just weeks old, shouldn't it being keying of that latter date and not the original post date?

At worst, perhaps an option to check off either of those would be great ...

Regards,
Doug

Find the option for the last thread too
