Thread Titles - Pop-Up Descriptions

I searched and could not find this hack, if it exists, please delete this thread!

This is a slightly modified version of the "Mouse Over" hack, this one works using simple HTML title tags exactly like vB 3, NO JavaScript.

Tested on vB version 2.2.9

THIS WILL ADD THREAD TITLES TO "VIEW NEW POSTS" ONLY!

** But it does not work for any search fuctions...not sure why.

Can anyone else help?

PHP Code:

edit template: 

searchresultbit_threadonly


find:

<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$searchresult[threadid]$highlightwords">$searchresult[threadtitle]</a>

replace with:

<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$searchresult[threadid]$highlightwords" title="$threadmsg ... (more)">$searchresult[threadtitle]</a>


edit search.php
find:


eval ("\$searchresultbits .= \"".gettemplate("$searchtemplatebit")."\";");

add above:

$dpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT pagetext FROM post WHERE threadid='$thread[threadid]' ORDER BY dateline ASC LIMIT 1");
    $threadmsg = substr($dpost[pagetext], 0, 200);
    $threadmsg = eregi_replace("\r\n", "\n", $threadmsg);
    $threadmsg = eregi_replace("\"", "", $threadmsg);
    $threadmsg = eregi_replace("\'", "", $threadmsg);

Thanks, that worked for the "View new Posts".

[Prince]

yeah, maybe someone else can get it to work with all other search functions, I tried with no luck...it's beyond me.

but you should consider the queries....

Works on 2.3.3 with "View New Posts" and "View Today's Active Threads".

Anyone know how to get it to work with search functions? It shows the "...(more)" part but not the message body.

Any updates?

Quick question

It says to replace

<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$thread[threadid]">

with

<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$thread[threadid]" title="$threadmsg ... (more)">

but my code in my tamplate looks like this:

;<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&goto=lastpost&threadid=$thread[threadid]"><img

what do I do?

[Prince]

the only thing that is being done to the code is you're adding an html title tag:

title="$threadmsg ... (more)"

so, just insert that into the a href line

sorry, I don't understand....not an expert with this coding stuff haha

nice to see a fellow bodybuilding site on here

Well to be on the safe side, make a copy of that bit of code in full before you replace it, Then replace it. If everything works ok then your fine. If it doesnt simply replace it with its original coding.
