Is it possible to make a hack , or edit something in the templates so that the treads would STOP movind around when someone replies on em ? I mean it's really unhandy on our forum and we would like the threads to just stay in their places. Anyone know a way to do this ?

What version of vB are you talking about?

#3 02-22-2001, 05:20 PM

v1.14

Its not a big deal for me, but I have had people request this along with threaded view. Personally I don't like the threaded view, but some do.

It might be nice as a per-forum option, but I would rather see other useful features be added or worked on (at least get version 2 officially released) before adding something like this, my personal opinion though.

Just the first point to start.

In forumdisplay.php find (can look different in your file)

Code:

$threads=$DB_site->query("SELECT thread.iconid, icon.title AS icontitle, icon.iconpath,threadid,thread.title AS title,
                                 open,lastpost,replycount,postusername,lastposter,notes,views,userindex,dateline,topped
                          FROM thread
                          LEFT JOIN icon ON (icon.iconid = thread.iconid)
                          WHERE forumid=$forumid AND visible=1 $datecut
                          ORDER BY topped DESC,lastpost
                          DESC LIMIT $limitlower,$perpage");

change the lastpost to threadid

Now the threads will be sorted by their id. New threads at the top and older threads at the bottom.

That's it? (perhaps)

You need to look in the correct place.. You are looking in a template. Whereas the code you need to change is in the FORUMDISPLAY.PHP file.
