Administrative and Maintenance Tools - [AJAX] Thread Bumping 1.1

[AJAX] Thread Bumping 1.2

What is this?
This hack well let you bump threads and make them show up at the top of the forum again even though no new post has been added to it. This is done by simply double clicking in a cell on forumdisplay (see screenshots). On bump it will update the thread's lastpost date to the current time, the last post inside will not be affected.

Installation
See install.txt in the .zip archive. (~ 3 minutes)

Upgrade (from 1.0 to 1.1)
Revert the template "threadbit" and then repeat all steps in install.txt. Make sure to have the option "Allow Overwrite" checked when importing the product again. Also don't forget to overwrite the old threadbump.js with the new one.

Upgrade (from 1.1 to 1.2)
You need only import the product.xml found in the .zip package and make sure to have the option 'Allow Overwrite' set to Yes. No template edits required and no need to upload threadump.js.

Version 1.1
* Updates forumhome so the bumped thread will show up there, just as it should
* Correctly displays the new bumped thread for the bumper
* Correctly displays the new bumped thread under stickys in that forum, if there are any

Version 1.2
* Security fix

* Note
If you have the "separate stickys" hack installed you can edit the plugin executed at hook "forumdisplay_start" and replace $tstickys = 0; with $tstickys = 1;. I haven't tested this but that should work.

Pleas click INSTALL if you're using this hack.

This is really nice. I'd like to have it admin access only.

You can restrict it to admins only by putting 6 in the setting Thread bumping > Usergroups. See the screenshot.

All Users who upgraded to version 1.1
Please re-upload the threadbump.js again from the new zip archive. I mistakenly added an old version of it. I apologize for this.

[blogtorank]

[nymyth]

Peace

Hmm.. If you use IE you might have to clear your browser cache. It would be weird if you get this error

Line: 59
Char: 7
Error: 'innerHTML.lastChild' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL: XXX

again if you have uploaded the new threadbump.js as that code is no longer on line 59.

Very usefull - Installled.

A little Bug: If using a different Style, it uses the wrong Statusicon on updating the Date (thread_dot_new.gif).

regards

[BobbyBig]

Another Bug:

When Bumping a Thread which includes aöü in the Title, it changes the Title:

"Schönste" is changing to "Schönste". -> also in the database!

Please provide me with a fix for that.
Thank you.
