Filter Threads By Post Icon · **Released**: 10-21-2005

Yep, tested and works w/ 3.6.0, no code changes at all. You can find the 3.6.x thread for this hack here.

This is the 3.5.x version of JMPZ's hack by the same name. (linkage)

This hack allows you to click on a post icon, and it will show only the threads with this particular post icon. Once this happens an unfilter button will appear, allowing the user to once again view all threads.

As for WHY someone would want this, here's an answer to that question:

Some forums use the forum icons to convey if a thread has been sufficiently answered or not, or to convey some other meaning. If a poster wants to look for unanswered threads, they could sort by the icon used for the thread.

Think of this as a poor man's thread prefix hack

# of php page edits: 1
# of template edits: 2

Should take less than 5 min to install.

I can't seem to find:

Code:

$sorturl = 'forumdisplay.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "f=$forumid&amp;daysprune=$daysprune";

Its the last file edit in forumdisplay.php

EDIT: Even without that last modification, it still seems to work fine.

Line 866 on a non-edited version of forumdisplay.php (v3.5.0)

It's a safety precaution more than anything.

Hi,
There was a hack for showing first post in all pages . Can it be merged with it so it happens when user choose a special icon ?

or a new hack though .

Got a link to that hack? Not completely sure what you mean.

This is the first post hack :

Knew I forgot something

can't see how the 2 hacks relate to each other. Do you mean if user selects post icon X, then the other hack is activated? If so, that would be something to ask the creator of that hack, as it has nothing to do with this one.

I installed this hack and it's working fine for the most part. However, I'm getting some unexpected behavior when filtering certain icons. When I click to filter the blue "?" icon it also includes some polls and some threads that have been moved to another forum.

Click here to see on my forum:

Also, when I click on the icon that all threads default to (the white page icon), no filtering takes place. Is the hack suppose to behave this way?

Sorry about that, didn't get the notification. IIRC, there's no actual icon for default, hence it can't search for anything. As for the ? icon, worked for me.

Think there would be anyway to use this on external.php .. I want to allow sorting of posts via the RSS feed as well. Any help would be amazing.

Wired1 · #21 04-18-2006, 10:21 PM

Do you mean when someone reads the feed on their end they can sort it? IIRC, those icons donn't come through the feed, and their parser would have to be able to sort them even if they did.
