[release] Include Title in "Last Post By"
 

Author: filburt1
Description: Includes the title of the last thread in "Last Post By" in forumhome.
Demo: None yet
Screenshot: next post

This is incredibly unclean but can't be accomplished any other way realistically without hacking or changing the database structure. It requires IE5.5+; any other browser will show the Last Post By just as if you had never installed the mod.

If you hack your board, install TECK's hack instead of this (which BTW the query is partially by TECK). If you don't hack, then use this.

meh, nice...but it makes it to cluttered

could u make it so when u click the name of the title, it takes u to the last post?

Just edit the approprate minitemplate in phpinclude.

yea, i dunno how... thats why i asked if u could post how....

fibie, you should make it so when u hover over the "go to last post" button, it displays the name of the thread :)

he should post the code to make it able to click the thread name button and it will take u to the last post ;) ;) ;) PLZ!!!!

Simple as it may sound that's extraordinarily more complicated.

Nice, although yeah if your design isn't right it can look cluttered.

plz can u make it so it will go to the last post when u click the title?

So how big is your phpinclude template now? :p

No bigger since this mod isn't being used on my "real" style set.

:( will u plz post how to make it so that when u click the thread it will take u to the last post?

u and ur php include

lol anyway nice mod dude

filburt1, nice way to ignore Blindchild02's help right after Blind ask three time... nothing change, I see.

Anyway.. nice hack

Your not sure if it was ignored, DestyNova. Best to just wait.

yeah, and plus blind should have made a thread about it in the request forum

Well seeming as it's a big part to this mod, I guess it's fine here.

Sometimes I sleep, chief :rolleyes:

so u want me to spam and make a whole new thread??? or will u PLEASE do it here....

When I get the free time I'll look into it.

thanks :cool:

works great, u should just make it so it takes u to the last post

EDIT- Nevermind, i did it myself.... :p i knew how, i was just being lazy ;)

EDIT2- Nevermind, it didnt work right, i guess i dunno how

I specifically made it go to the thread itself because there's already the last post icon :)

edit: also, FWIW I'm going to look into making a much cleaner version. It will be more complicated to write and require modifying the db schema, though.

This feature works great on my site but one problem. Even if the character length does not go over the thresh hold the ... still show. How do i fix this?

PPN originally did that hack. Teck just re-did it some of the code.

can it read threads in the subforums of the parent forum?

No.
(10 chars...)

Is there any way of slightly changing this so it works on something other than IE as well?

Another nice mod by filburt, good job! :)

Can this be made to work on Forum LIST pages instead of the Forumhome templates? I tried it the most obvious way and had no luck. At most it just displayed something like "lasttitle156" or "65" etc., but no text.

tried installing on vb232 no error but nothing is displayed.

nevermind had to read the first post a lil better, my site is very hacc-d
