Forum Display Enhancements - Thread title enhancement

Thread title enhancement
To use this i recommend uninstalling Thread cosmetics if you have it installed already. Im not really sure what this might do to have them both. Also disable vbplaza if you have not already. It should work ok with vbplaza, but its not a good idea to have it enabled.

To use this you will see under the thread drop down menu Thread Cosmetics, just like the hack below had. You must click Beautify and then update to update the values.

Install takes about 5 minutes


Description:

Thread title enhancement will let you Italicize, Bold, Underline, Color or set a Font to a thread title.

Inspiration / Thanks:

Well i liked how you could do this in vbplaza. Then there was another hack to do this without having to use points. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=131913 , i actually modified that hack and took the portion from vbplaza to make this. Its a little bit better as it will work in any browser that i know of. I thank paul41598 and vbplaza. Only reason i made this was so i could have the colored stuff again without having vbplaza installed due to the exploits. Im not sure if it will ever come back.


Support:

I wont be supporting this hack that much, its basically going to be as is. I may add more features later on.
Version 1.0.2 is probably my last update, if anyone wants to expand on this hack they may.

Changelog:

2.0.0

• Fixed a bug where if you removed all settings from the title but had a font size on it would not remove the font size.
• Got rid of all the plugin files, now there is only one file to upload
• Got rid of most template modifications. Only need to do one now.
• If you want to upgrade you will basically need to start all over, reverse all template changes. Reinstall the product. Delete all files in the plugins folder. Only file that needs to be uploaded is includes\xml\bitfield_tte.xml. All template modifications have changed as well. You can leave them there if you like but make sure to shut off the auto template modification in the TTE options.

1.0.2

• Added a font select box, you can add more fonts in settings
• Added a size select box, you can add more sizes in settings.
• Added bitfields for permissions. You must set these in the usergroup manager as all are set to no by default.

1.0.1

• Fixed the underline, so if you do underline it does underline now.
• Added a color table, you can add your own colors
• Added font size

1.0.0

• Make thread title Bold, Italic, Underline, Colored and change font.

[xenon58]

thnx for your suggestion bud, i did, and unfortunately its still a no go for me
eventhough it didnt show an error as it did last time, this time its a bit different
look at the attached image and you will see what i'm talking about



the test thread name was sdfgdfgdfgdsf, and everything before that
showed up after i've tryed that code you've showed me in above post
to bypass that parser error that i had before.

also, after a complete install i took a scrrenshot of my thread_tools options
and unfortunately i dont have those beautify options there as you have it



dont pay attention to funny chars, those are translated frases, and look funny
when i change default language. white space above the button, also not a part
of an error i'm trying to fix here, so dont pay attention to that as well

hope youll be able to see what i'm talking about and have some tips on how to fix this

thnx again for all the time and help bud, i really do appreciate it.

You need to set permissions from the usergroup manager. Probably not why the option is not showing up. But theres some template problem that you are having. Try to revert back to what you had before. Basically all i added to that line was another if statement.

<if condition="$thread['titlestyle']">style="$thread[titlestyle]"</if>

but im not sure if your board doesnt like the single quotes or not as thats why it was giving you the error before. But it seems like you are missing something.

this should be your orginal

<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]"<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"> style="font-weight:bold"</if>>$thread[threadtitle]</a>

If its not you will need to add
<if condition="$thread['titlestyle']">style="$thread[titlestyle]"</if>
manually in there. Either before the <if condition... or after the </if>

[xenon58]

thnx again for your reply. i've added the statement and saved the changes, all went ok, i think. the reason i cant say for sure, cause i still cant use this mod. i've zipped a screenshot of my usergroup manager > admin group. i've looked everywhere, but unfortunately i couldn't find a place where to turn on the mod. if you can, please take a look and let me know what am i missing. thnx again for all the time and help.

[Kungfu]

make sure the xml file is uploaded also try to re build your bitfield.

http://www.yoursite.com/forum/adminc...buildbitfields

should be something like that. It will rebuild them. Try that and see if it shows up after that.
Its just one option called TTE Permissions

[xenon58]

thnx for a quick respond. i did just that, and got a message that bitfields were rebuild and all is well, however, installing/uninstalling/reuploading/reinstalling xml file didnt do anything, i still dont have the option where to turn this mod on, anywhere i swear i looked everywhere. i wonder if its only me having all these problems. i was able to test previous versions ok, but have no idea whats up with all this. im sorry for causing a headache for you bud, and i do appreciate your help. maybe you can paste me a line where i can turn the option on for admins and registrered and where to paste this into xml file? i dont know what else could help. hope you do thnx again for all the time and efforts.

I've got almost the same problem of Xenon.
I've installed this hack, rebuilt the bitfield, set the usergroup permission and modified the code in the threadbit template inserting this code:

<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]"<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"> style="font-weight:bold"</if>>$thread[threadtitle]</a>

I even tried with this one:

<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]"<if condition="$thread['titlestyle']">style="$thread[titlestyle]"</if><if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"> style="font-weight:bold"</if>>$thread[threadtitle]</a>

but it doesn't works.

I do have the TTE menu in vbulletin options and I have enabled this mod. After modifying the thread i get the message "your thread is now Beautified" and get redirected to the thread. but nothing changes. this mod has none effect on the treads.

I'm on 3.6.5. what can I do?

Having same problem. And have attempted all the above also.

I can go through all the steps with the beautify and when it refreshes the page it shows the orginal nothing new.

Really want this mod. It looks great.

[Bojangles]

I am also having the same problem as the last couple of posters. Looking forward to a solution, because this mod looks like it rocks

[tsh4life]

yea, same problem. thanks for the mod tho it looks promising

EDIT: Nevermind i looked in thread tools and it showed up for me..thanks

edit again: well i actually went to "beautify" and it didn't do anything to the thread title
