Thread Description v1.2 · **Released**: 06-09-2005

Thread Description Hack v1.2 for vb3.5 beta 1
Support thread: http://www.extremescripts.com/forums...hread.php?t=12

I wil try to do my best to support this hack here but you will get my attention much faster on my site.

What this hack does:
This hack allows your users to add descriptions to their threads that show up on the threadlist. This allows people to read what the thread is about before they enter the thread.

Files To edit: 1
Queries to run: 1
Uses Hooks: Yes
Phrases To Add: 1
Template Edits: 3

Planned:
Add showing of thread description to search results.
Option to turn off thread descriptions on a per forum basis
Option to turn off thread descriptsion showing up on search results.
ajax support for editing thread description from forumdisplay.

If I have missed anything please let me know. I have worked on this off an on today with the power going going out every so often becuase of the storms we have had today.

If you are upgrading use the v1.0 installer and undo the editpost.php file edit. Then just load the new xml file.

There will be a new version that will be a full plugin possible later today. If I get the needed time to make the change. Plus I will release it as a product.

If you use this hack please click install.

(OK, so I have disabled that function and don't know if he has fixed it yet, but thats the major bug that I know of).

In fact I did, Boofo.

Even kall has tried the hack but still no use.

"Even kall" .. makes me sound like some kind of coder or something.

But yes, there is a major problem with the 'editing the first post of a thread' thing (that I imagine is supposed to be the part of this hack that allows you to change the description after making it), but that doesn't take away too much really.

Having a description (IMO) helps you with keyword density and all that good stuff.

It says "coder" under your name.

Is this hack stable now on 3.5. Gold ???

Snake · #**109** 10-18-2005, 02:13 PM

As you can see, no it isn't.

eXtremeTim · #**110** 10-23-2005, 08:03 PM

I will see about fixing any problems for gold over the next week. I have been so swamped with client work lately its been hectic.

FleaBag · #**111** 10-27-2005, 11:38 PM

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
