Thread & Forum Subscribe/Unsubscribe Link · **Released**: 03-14-2002

Thread & Forum Subscribe/Unsubscribe Link
Confirmed working with vB 2.2.6.

This hack changes the standard "subscribe" link to "unsubscribe" if you're already subscribed to that forum or thread. It's template-based, so you can easily change the text of the links to whatever you want.

Demo: Here. If you'd like to see it in action, you can register and play around with subscribing and unsubscribing to threads and forums.

Comments and criticism are always welcome, and if you like this hack, please install it !

Thanks man. It seems very clear now!

Thanks to Scott, this hack is now much more appropriately titled.

Enjoy!

UPDATE: This hack is confirmed to be fully-functional with vB 2.2.6.

Also, just to clarify, this hack enables you to change the subscribe link to unsubscribe on forums and threads.

Hey everyone,

I've fixed a minor bug which displays the unsubscribe link for guests. The zip file has the updated hack instructions, but if you've already installed the hack, here's the quick fix:

In forumdisplay.php and showthread.php, you inserted this line:

Quote:

if ($subscribed[userid] == $bbuserinfo[userid])

Just change that to:

Quote:

if (($subscribed[userid] == $bbuserinfo[userid]) and ($bbuserinfo[userid] != 0))

That's it!

I posted this on my 2.2.6 lat night, and now the bottom of my threads now look like the attached screenshot.

If you need to get into my forums to look around and see what I mean (thought the screenshot should pretty much say it all), the URL is

xflbret and bigmattyh,

There is an error in the instructions for editing the showthread template. When you follow the instructions and replace the portion of showthread with the code in the instructions, you get the result that XFL just posted. There is a missing </table> at the end of the replacement code. Just add that at the end of the inserted code and all will be well.

This might only be an issue with 2.2.6, that's what I'm running.

Sorry for the delay -- I was out of town for a couple of days.

The instructions are now fixed.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Hi,

Excellent hack and something I hope to see in future versions of vB!

I always thought it was silly that the subscribe links weren't dynamic.

I did find a minor error in your instructions:

Quote:

Template name: forumdisplay_subscribelink_sub
Template set: Default
Template: <a href="member2.php?s=&action=removesubscription&for umid=$forumid">Unsubscribe from this forum</a>

Template name: forumdisplay_subscribelink_notsub
Template set: Default
Template: <a href="member2.php?s=&action=addsubscription&forumi d=$forumid">Subscribe to this forum</a>

Both of these templates are lacking the $session[sessionhash] variable. The corrected code should be ...member2.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=....

Thanks!

Paul

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