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.

its something in the XML and not the file mods....

eXtremeTim · #25 06-10-2005, 06:10 AM

Heres the fix

in plugin titled

Thread Description: Save Description

Replaced the code with the following

PHP Code:


			
if ($type == 'thread') {

$post['threaddesc'] = htmlspecialchars_uni($post['threaddesc']);

$dataman->set('threaddesc', $post['threaddesc']);

}

I am updating the xml file right now.

that works fine now tim

eXtremeTim · #28 06-10-2005, 06:26 AM

Your both welcome.

Logikos · #29 06-10-2005, 08:25 AM

Tim is right, i tried mutiable ways to get this down to just one file edit. But not every hack can be "file-editless". Though he did save a whole lot of file editing using the hooks system. Nice work man!

/me clicks install!

eXtremeTim · #30 06-10-2005, 03:20 PM

Thank you.

If their was a way to get this down to one or no file edits I would have. I also believe I have noticed that I have an extra plugin snapped into this. I have disabled the one on my site right now to notice if I see any problems anywhere if not I will post the changes here.

I thought the whole point was to avoid file edits? I wont be installing any hacks that have file edits. Is the plugin system crummy or what is the problem?

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