Firstly once again this is a fantastic mod! However I'm having some problems using this in conjunction with the GlowHost Anti-Spam when outputting a form to a thread as the anti-spam auto-moderates it as it contains URLs and the submitting users are normally new members to my site.

The easiest way around this would be have created threads all assigned to a single user rather than the user who submitted it or Unregistered. Is that possible though?

Thanks for any help

Dom, just noted that when I manually moved a thread just now it does update the post count etc. and correctly show the most recent post in the preview - even though it was an earlier post that I moved - so hopeful there is an easy bit of code to add to make this happen as part of the plugin - thanks.

I am thinking this needs more code to be added to the plugin in possibly?

Many thanks

Hi,

your mod works like a charme in vb 4.1.3 - thanks! But..

The function ?Question Typest to Hide in Form Results Poll? is very useful for me. But I miss a function like ?Question Typest to Hide in Form Results Table?! Can you tell me, if it would be possible?

The view is not very clearly arranged if a user writes to many text in the "Field using vBulletin Editor".

Is it possible to hide a field in the table view?

Best regards,
Bruno

In plugin, find

PHP Code:

mark_thread_read($threadinfo, $foruminfo, $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], TIMENOW); 


Add below

PHP Code:

build_thread_counters($newpost['threadid']);
        build_forum_counters($forumid);

Edit Form -> Form Hook: Before Submit:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] = 3; 


Change 3 to the appropriate userid. (0 for unregistered)

Or indeed, can it be replaced with all the interface options as if posting a new thread such as; post icons and the tag box?

Cheers

Can you give me a "step by step" instruction, what i have to do, that a dropdown-field with the prefixes of a specified forum will be shown?

The form should create a new thread in forum-id = 46, and the prefixes of this forum sould be listed in the form, cause they are required for a new thread!


kr Chris

Try this php code instead:

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_prefix.php');  
$thisanswer = $q[$formbit[id]];  
$forumid = $form['forumid'] = 46; 
$prefix_options = fetch_prefix_html($form['forumid'], $thisanswer, true);  
$answer = '<select name="' . $formbit[id] . '" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" class="bginput">'; 
$answer .= '<option value="">'.$vbphrase[no_prefix_meta].'</option>';  
$answer .= $prefix_options;  
$answer .= '</select>';

Thanks so much! This is such a wonderfully good mod! :up:

I found a small bug when using bbocde in a section title. We needed to make the Section titles bigger to stand out more and this is the result.

It doesn't appear to affect the functionality.
