Filter threads by post icon

I couldn't understand why nobody had created this hack yet, so I made it myself.

This allows users to filter the threads by the icon. They do this by clicking on the icon in the forum thread listing. It then only shows threads with that same post icon.

Switching between pages works, as well as using the column sort functions. It is not designed to work properly with any other sort options but it might.

When posts are filtered, a "Unfilter" link is shown in the column header for thread post icons which, when clicked, removes the filter and returns the view to page 1.

Only 1 file needs to be modified, and 2 templates.

In forumdisplay.php, find

PHP Code:


		
			
globalize($_REQUEST, array('perpage' => INT, 'pagenumber' => INT, 'daysprune' => INT));

Replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
//Post icon filter hack

//globalize($_REQUEST, array('perpage' => INT, 'pagenumber' => INT, 'daysprune' => INT));

globalize($_REQUEST, array('perpage' => INT, 'pagenumber' => INT, 'daysprune' => INT, 'picon'=> INT));

//*Post icon filter hack

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
    if ($daysprune != -1)

    {

        $datecut = "AND lastpost >= " . (TIMENOW - ($daysprune * 86400));

        $show['noposts'] = false;

    }

    else

    {

        $datecut = '';

        $show['noposts'] = true;

    }

And add immediately after it:

PHP Code:


		
			
//Post icon filter hack

    if ($picon > 0 && is_numeric($picon) && $picon < 5000) { //who knows if all this is necessary - better safe than sorry

      $pqr = " AND thread.iconid = '$picon' ";

      $datecut .= $pqr;

      } else

        $picon = "";

//*post icon filter hack

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
        $pagenav = construct_page_nav($totalthreads, "forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forumid", "&amp;sort=$sortfield&amp;order=$sortorder&amp;pp=$perpage&amp;daysprune=$daysprune");

Replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			


//Post icon filter hack

//        $pagenav = construct_page_nav($totalthreads, "forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forumid", "&amp;sort=$sortfield&amp;order=$sortorder&amp;pp=$perpage&amp;daysprune=$daysprune");

        $pagenav = construct_page_nav($totalthreads, "forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forumid", "&amp;sort=$sortfield&amp;order=$sortorder&amp;pp=$perpage&amp;daysprune=$daysprune&amp;picon=$picon");

//*post icon filter hack

UPDATE 1.00 TO 1.01 ADD THIS MODIFICATION
Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
    $sorturl = "forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forumid&amp;daysprune=$daysprune";

And add immediately after it:

PHP Code:


		
			
//Post icon filter hack

    if ($pqr) {

      $noiconurl = $sorturl;

      $sorturl .= "&amp;picon=$picon";

      }

//*post icon filter hack

Ok, for the templates, in threadbit, find:

Code:

<img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" />

And replace it with:

Code:

<a href="$sorturl&amp;picon=$thread[threadiconid]"><img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" /></a>

Then in FORUMDISPLAY find:

Code:

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

                <td class="thead" colspan="2">&nbsp;</td>

        <else />

                <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>

        </if>

And replace it with:

Code:

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

      <if condition="$picon">

        <td class="thead" colspan="2"><a href="$noiconurl">Unfilter</a></td>

      <else />

                <td class="thead" colspan="2">&nbsp;</td>

          </if>

        <else />

                <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>

        </if>

It's working fine on our board. If you have any questions, just ask!

I've wanted this for a bit, but couldn't figure it out. Thanks, this works perfectly.

where you have:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($daysprune != -1) 

    { 

        $datecut = "AND lastpost >= " . (TIMENOW - ($daysprune * 86400)); 

        $show['noposts'] = false; 

    } 

    else 

    { 

        $datecut = ''; 

        $show['noposts'] = true; 

    }

I have:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!$daysprune)

{

    if ($bbuserinfo['daysprune'] != 0)

    {

        $daysprune = $bbuserinfo['daysprune'];

    }

    else

    {

        $daysprune = iif($foruminfo['daysprune'], $foruminfo['daysprune'], 30);

    }

}

and when I follow the instructions I get an error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/parapla/public_html/forums/forumdisplay.php on line 514

where line 514 is

PHP Code:


		
			
$daysprunesel = iif($daysprune == -1, 'all', $daysprune);

Forgive me but I am extremely novice about these things! What do I need to do to make this work?

You may want to update to 3.0.7 first.

I have updated, I thought. Is that code from the older version or something?

See: www.forums.paraplanet.com it is 3.07

Edit: Hehe I hadn't updated my profile, sorry about that! Any thoughts on what I can do?

Where is "$noiconurl" defined? I'm just wondering because mine won't 'unfilter' and since I don't see that defined, I'm thinking that may be the culprit.

That is exactly it! Thanks so much! I am trying to get better :surprised:

edit: it works perfectly now :)

My good sir, you have found a bug, and a BIG one at that. It's missing. Here's the missing part. I'll add it to the first post obviously.

In forumdisplay.php, find:

PHP Code:


		
			
    $sorturl = "forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forumid&amp;daysprune=$daysprune";

And add immediately after it:

PHP Code:


		
			
//Post icon filter hack

    if ($pqr) {

      $noiconurl = $sorturl;

      $sorturl .= "&amp;picon=$picon";

      }

//*post icon filter hack

Thanks for pointing it out. Sorry I missed that part.

Woah! I've been looking for something like this.... can't wait for you to make it stable :)

Will this work with 3.5?

I got it to work on RC2, but I had to change the variables a wee bit.

Beware, I'm a vBulletin novice, so I don't know if this compromises security or anything. If someone could verify that it's okay, that would be awesome.

The very first step, look for this instead

PHP Code:


		
			
$perpage =  $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'perpage', TYPE_UINT);

$pagenumber = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'pagenumber', TYPE_UINT);

$daysprune = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'daysprune', TYPE_INT);

$sortfield = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'sortfield', TYPE_STR);

Immediately after, add this

PHP Code:


		
			
$picon = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'picon', TYPE_INT);

The second step is okay, but you have to be sure you are at the right $daysprune or it just won't work.

The third step, look for this instead

PHP Code:


		
			
$pagenav = construct_page_nav($pagenumber, $perpage, $totalthreads, 'forumdisplay.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "f=$forumid", ""

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['perpage']) ? "&amp;pp=$perpage" : "")

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['sortfield']) ? "&amp;sort=$sortfield" : "")

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['sortorder']) ? "&amp;order=" . $vbulletin->GPC['sortorder'] : "")

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['daysprune']) ? "&amp;daysprune=$daysprune" : "")

Immediately after, add this

PHP Code:


		
			
. (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['picon']) ? "&amp;picon=$picon" : "")

Everything else was the same I think. :nervous:

thank you!! Installed

Also... do you know if choosing a category/thread/post icon can be made mandatory?

Also.. how do you remove "No Icon" from the list?

Is there any plan to make a Vb 3.5 version of this hack?

I'd really like one.

Ok, 3.5.0 version is up:

AGAIN, THIS IS UNTESTED SO FAR. Shouldn't crash or anything though, too simple.
