Remove Posting Redirection (like vB3)
 

Hack: Remove posting redirection.

By: Anime-loo

Current Version:
Pre Release: [high]1.2pr 1[/high]
Stable: [high]1.1[/high]

[high]What dose this do?[/high]

This hack will removed the redirection pages that apper after posting a reply/thread. Insted of seeing a "Thanks for posting, we are now sending you to..." message before a user is sent to their post, they are sent directly to it. On 56k ive noticed a big improvement in speed.

[high]Latest news:[/high]

12 - 26 - 2003:

Version 1.2 pre release 1 released, this version answers the request(s) of many that are using this hack. That is no redirection screens after editing a post or deleting it.

If you are using 1.1 you can upgrade to 1.2pr 1 via the second attachment in this post. At this time there is no install file for 1.2 pr 1, install 1.1 then upgrade.

[high]Modification info:[/high]

5 ([high]8 for 1.2 pr 1[/high]) file edits
(files: newreply.php, newthread.php, poll.php, editpost.php ([high]1.2 pr 1 only[/high]))

will this affect the way vbulletin performs? Why would the developers add the posting redirection if it wasn't required somehow? plz let me know cuz i'd like to install this

same question...

Mostly to let the user know whats going on, and to pass some important info to the url.

I found a way of getting the url without the extra pageload (redirection).

I have it running on my board and the members are loving it. The only change im seeing in performance is a big speed up on the users end when it comes to posting. ;) :)

:) glad to see you got this working. I think I'm going to check it out

Interesting... I'm definitely giving this a try! *Whaps Install* :)

I use a different version, but nice work getting the URL variable to be passed. :)

vB3 doesn't have redirection pages either. ;) It's not needed. I haven't had them for over a year with no problems.

Thanks Erwin, ive been trying to do this for awhile and never found a 'working' hack for it. If you dont mind can you pm me a link to your forums, i know its a private url you dont give out but ive been wanting to see it for ages cause it sounds like youve done alot of work there :).

Lovely!!!!!

/me licks install!!

Uh oh

I think I never hacked the redirection stuff, but I only got these in vb 2.2.0:

// redirect
if ($prevpost[visible]) {
$goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";
} else {
$goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forumid";
}
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_p ostthanks")."\",\"$goto\");");

AND

// redirect
if ($visible && !$returntowhere) {
$goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";
} else {
if ($returntowhere=="forumhome") {
$goto="index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]";
} elseif ($returntowhere=="thread") {
$goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";
} else {
$goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$threadinfo[forumid]";
}
}
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_p ostthanks")."\",\"$goto\");");

1st is fine but second does not match...

ideas?

Use this for the second one:

Tu!

Ps. Is it me or u missed a ; after the last header sentence?

Very nice one ... congratz :)

[high]* Ihsahn clicks Install ![/high]

Nice mod AL! Might use this one. :)

How about applying this to editpost.php too (I know it has different code)?

great looking hack - i have always hated sitting around waiting for slow sites to load up the new page - good job anime-loo :D

maybe search.php as well? :)

if you can that is. it uses no // redirect code in the file but rather just the templates already created (same with editpost.php). which, i'm guessing, is the reason you didn't do this in the first place. :)

*installed*

AWESOME hack, works with no problems

Yea I did, sorry about that.


Zelda-King: I like to let the user know that the changes have been saved via the redirect, but ill look into it for you.

jibious: ill look into that to. :)

good work

great hack....only one problem i encountered....

this hack code interferes with Xenon's Prevent Double Posting hack found Here

any help? if needed, i'll post my code up:P

Xenon's Prevent Double Posting hack fix:

----------------------------
Open newreply.php
----------------------------

Find:

Replace with:

// Dev note - if user has double posted he had the last post in thread anyway. Showthread link was changed because of this.

THANKS!!!!!!!!

*dances*....awesome hack *clicks install becuz he forgot earlier* heh *dances*

Glad to hear it works!


Just tried installing it but my code is much different...

your code says to find:

[code]// redirect
if ($prevpost[visible]) {
$goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";
} else {
$goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forumid";
}
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_p ostthanks")."\",\"$goto\");");[/quote]

But My code looks like this:

I haven't done any mods that I can think of that would change the code in this area..?

Looks like you installed the open/close checkbox option for mods and admins.

At any rate the code block you gave me is incomplete so I cant give you a fix. Link me to the hack you have installed (so I can add it to the issues list and make a fix) or give me the compleate block (from // redirect to where redirect_postthanks is evaled) and ill provide you with a fix.

**claps hands** amazing :> I h8 that loading page (cause i got 56k) so sometimes ur starin at it for agessss.

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu

**clicks install loadsss of times :p **

You wouldn't have to edit anything else if you're using quick reply would you?

Nope, the hack works perfectly with the quick reply box.

I'm having problems, both newreply and newthread are giving parse errors. Maybe it's related to that missing semicolon?
Edit: Figured it out.

Excellent job, it works perfectly for me! :)

I look forward to your editpost modification!

Nice hack. Thanks!

Ok, one problem left. This line is giving me a parse error in newthread.php:
This is from the second edit of newthread. 'Cuse my newb questions, but I need to figure out what I did wrong.
EDIT: I just figured out that it's not that line, but the line below it. I still can't figure it out though...

well, taking a look at the line below this, you get:

so i have to ask, did you add the new template?

redirect_buildingpoll

i'd take the guess that you didn't :)

I did.

nice.

nice. I had previously used another hack to remove re-directs, but removed it and use this one. I like that you have re-directs where needed, and removed the ones that aren't.

Awesome hack! Works just fine on 2.3.0.

Great hack, installed perfectly :D

When submitting a post through the QRB, I get a little javascript error in my task bar. Then it goes away and works like normal. Any idea where this may be from?

what about removing the re-directs from search?
