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.

I'd recommend to have the uninstall code remove the column, as this is what uninstall codes are for - cleanup the database.

In that case, I added the uninstall code back as well as fix the queries by adding the TABLE_PREFIX before the table name.

This is what I was looking for...but I hate manual editing...Do you still have to manually edit the stuff in the readme in your zip for the last file you posted?

I installed it fine anyhow, just curious though is it safe to uninstall?

I see you were worried about it removing something important..

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.

I still don't seem to be able to edit the description as an admin. I can only edit MY threads...

I am working right now on setting up a dev 3.5.2 to get this updated.

Coolio. v3.5.3 has been released since yesterday so be sure to have it working on this latest version too.

O man, i am so looking forward to this hack

I really need this on a per-forum basis.

[Megareus Rex]

Question. How can you add this so the description is displayed after the thread title in the first post of the thread?

The 3.0 hack had it so it displayed like this:
(Thread title - Description)

That's a function I'd like to see returned.
