Getting Var to Work on forumhome

How can I get the $thread variable to work on the index/forumhome. For example: $thread['closed']. I need to check whether or not the last thread shown on the forumbit is closed or not. Thanks in advance.

An idea... Check the following function:

Code:

function construct_forum_bit located in functions_forumlist.php

In that function there is the following if-block:

Code:

if ($vbulletin->forumcache["$lastpostarray[$forumid]"]['lastpost'] > 0)

Where you could add some code to determine the status.

I was playing around with this code in that if-block:

PHP Code:


		
			
$lastpostinfo['trimthread'] = fetch_trimmed_title($lastpostinfo['lastthread']);

But I don't think the thread's status is stored in the forumcache -- so it can't be checked. That was the wall I hit whenever I posted this thread.

Right before the if-block, find and add the part in bold on a test board, and make sure to read the comments:

Code:

                        // dates & thread title

                        $lastpostinfo = $vbulletin->forumcache["$lastpostarray[$forumid]"];

                        

                        // this is just an example and you may need to reduce the queries!

                        // do _NOT_ do it this way because there can be a query per forum!

                        

                        $forumhome_threadid = $lastpostinfo['lastthreadid'];

                        $forumhome_threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($forumhome_threadid);

                        $forumhome_open = $forumhome_threadinfo['open'];



                        // if $forumhome_open is the number one, then the thread is open

Again, heed the comments, as this is untested code and you may need to edit the file to reduce the queries.

Thanks Calorie -- this should be a good starting point for me.
