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.

This still doesn't fix the problem where moderators are unable to edit descriptions tho...

EDIT: And I'm no genius coder, but I'd assume it would have to use some hook in threadmanage, but I have no idea which one. :P

So what is the issue with the development of this hack?
Is it suitable for vB 3.5.1 or still in BETA stages?

See my post right above yours. That's about all I found...

(If you use the version I posted eariler in the thread...)

The description also disappears if you preview the thread.

And it doesn't show up in the actul threadview (like IPB does)

Hope ya don't mind, I'm just listing some problems I have found so far.

Man I really want this to work on 3.5.1 fine.

It does work fine. There are just a few changes that need to be made, nothing big.

Oh I see. Well I am going to install this hack in a few minutes..

Bugs fixes - I assume.

Here we go... you can now edit the thread description and it'll save properly (at least the admin can, not sure about mods, and the user).

I removed the uninstall sql queries because I don't want to anything to happen to the column should someone uninstall the product accidently.

Let me know if you find any bugs, or if something's not working.

Btw a hook location was incorrect that processed the update of the edit, I just changed the location and the code a bit.

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