Remove ALL Redirects, No Bugs, All Browsers
 

First, I created a new thread or Hack because I myself was having trouble getting this to work out right, although, I really can?t claim full credit for it. Other than thinking to combine a few hacks in a special way I didn?t do much. :)

These 2 hacks together (Sort of, I removed a lot from Anime-loo?s hack) make it work!

Anime-loo
Remove Posting Redirection (like vB3)

Tommy Boy
Remove Intermediate Redirection Page


What does this hack do?

This hack will remove ALL intermediate redirection messages from all pages (vB 3 style). In addition, when posting a reply to a thread you will be taken to the correct post, i.e. The post that was just created by yourself. This hack will work with all browsers.

Also, this hack works with the quick reply box just in case you were wondering.

Difficultly?

Easy: Edit 2 php files, admin/functions.php and newreply.php. Add one line of code and change 2 lines of code.

See attached text file for instructions. :D

UPDATE 9/26/2003

For instructions on using this hack in vB version 2.3.2 please click below:

Hell yeah, Nomb! Installing it now!

Nomb, you are a prince among men :D

This is VERY similar to: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...t=redirections

:ermm:

That hack, however, has a lot of instructions and even an MySQL query. I think this one looks a lot easier and most likely better.

Not sure about it being anything new as it has been done by a lot of people, but still looks pretty good. I think I am going to try it.

LOL! Very smart, using newpost rather than the postid in newreply. Now, why didn't I think of that! Good work.

that was painlessly easy! THANK YOU!!!

Dude, thumbs up on this one.

Bout time someone said something about this ... *nudge* :p

Wow, amazing. :) Thanks!

hmm, i have the other one installed now. I think I might use this one. Thanks good job.

works great, that was a great idea on how this one functions.

Not so great if you haven't read a few pages it won't take you to the last page.

Like how these forums are, it takes you to the top are a reply and my lazy self has to scroll down again. It's annoying..

That is strange, because my version (similar to Karsten's) works perfectly and takes me to my last post:)

Nice idea though;)

Why not use the postid? You could do showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&goto=lastpost&forumid=$forumid but it still takes you to the post ID.

Anyway, what's bad about it?

What are you talking about? I don't understand?

Apparently vB.org does not redirect to the postid after a reply. Happens to me as well.

EDIT: I dunno, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I have ADSL and I let the page sit there for a few seconds after it says Done and still nothing happens (occasionally).

Hmm...

I haven't noticed at vB.org, but at one of the developing sites I have it works fine:)

Edit: And it just re-directed me to my post just now;)

Satan

very good m8 well done

Great Hack :) ...
OmaniMan Has Install It *

remarcably ez 2 install ;)

Installed! :)

GREAT HACK! Now no one can critize my "Your being transfered back to your thread in 5...4...3...2...1..." message :-P and that many less templates I dont need to worry about.

ooh..I think I will try it

Wow...this rocks.

Nice work, very slim and tidy!

ooh...I do see it though...Every now and again, it kicks me back to the first page of a thread, and not to my post.

Excellent hack, I've been looking forward to this ever since I saw vb3. It's a subtle change, but it really does seem to increase speed on the boards, or at least give that impression. Great job!

Happened to me a couple times here (at vB.org) too.

I think vB.org needs to use this hack. ;)

EDIT: yea, vB.org is passing:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&postid=12345

It's not adding the #12345 at the end

The intermittent problem at vB.org is fixed now. :)

Works great! Thanks man!

On my board it doesn' take you to the last post but the 1st new post in the thread since you last logged on. Anyway around this?

Change newpost to lastpost and see if that works better.

I nominate this for the best damed hack ever made :) thank you works perfectly on 1.1.0 ;)

Anyone got this on 2.2.9 ?

Yes.

This kinda shouldn't happen, err, sorta. I'm confused about how Jelsoft has a users lastvist and lastactivity. The query for goto=newpost grabs the postid where the dateline is greater than the users lastvist. For some reason lastvisit isn?t updated all the time like lastactivity is. I have no idea why they have two fields, lastactivity and lastvisit?!?

Like Erwin said, change:

goto=newpost

To:

goto=lastpost

The query for goto=lastpost simply finds the last post in the thread (The one you posted).

My text file in the original post has been updated.

I didn't. eva2000, a vB.com team member, did it. :) I just link to it.

i didnt say you did. :) i just said i feel sorry for who did :) Must have taken awhile and to recheck them for errors :( i would have quit. lol

I have installed it (2.2.9) but since i did it, the popup notification of the private messages doesn't word !!! it comes no popup!

any idea?

This would not affect the pm popup. That is a global eval() that simply displays a template and has nothing to do with standard redirects.
