Shrink Old Posts in Thread

Hi all,

This is a brand new addition to my own BB, so I don't even know how my own users will react to it, let alone how you guys would

Hack Description:

• Posts you have already read in a thread, will show up with their header only (a row that includes the username, post subject and date only). New posts only will appear in full.
• This is user selectable via the 'Edit Options' page: each user can decide if he wants this option on or not. (By default all existing and new users will have this turned Off).
• A link at the top of the thread offers to "expand all" posts or "contact all" posts.
• by clicking on the + sign on a shruk post, it will expand without the page reloading. By clicking on the - sign on an expanded post, it will shrink without the page reloading.
• [high]this option is available for your IE users only! Netscape users will see no difference and will not be affected anyway at all by the change[/high]

How to install:

• Please download the attached zipfile.
• Upload plus.gif and minus.gif to your images directory
• Upload install_contractposts.php to your admin directory and run that script.

Note: there are quite a few changes to make (primarily additions, not replacements) to the vb scripts and templates. The process should take you several minutes, so I recommend you close your Bulletin Board while installing the hack.

Demo:

You are welcome to visit my Bulletin Board, at http://www.atlasf1.com , to see what the additions look like. To test it in full (ie, the option of old posts being shrunk by default), you will have to register and modify your options after you have received your password.

Cheers,

Bira

GameZilla, did you get it to work? Cause I took at look at your forums and they seemed to be working fine.

Greetings:

Same problem. Old replies aren't closed automatically. Looks like the database entry for this user option isn't updating when a user updates their site options.
