Sorry, but what I didn't ask was why does this show as a default thread description in a newly created thread?
--> "The most members online in one day was %1$s, %2$s"

Hihihi! I have no ideas! If I'm...
Login AdminCP, go to Manage Products disable other mod check and see with one do that...

nice, thanks for this great job

This is an excellent mod, however it does need an admin-set maximum field length so that people don't post entire paragraphs as the description.

Hello,

I want to ask 2 things,

1-) How can i make thread description required, instead of optional

2-) Is there a way to put checkboxes instead of textfield, so users can choose predefined values?

Tell me about it. I just lost ( I think about 10,000 descriptions from exporting from PHPBB and not knowing this existed..... Maybe they will magically reappear now :erm:..

One can hope and if not one can have them in the future any ways.

Thanks and put me down for INSTALLED please!

Oh and thanks Gate for sending me here!

I think this idea is great.

I have this installed, but it's not doing any automatic template updates. Any ideas??

Not sure of what you mean that is it not doing any auto template updates.

I am sure you do have to enable it in the Admin CP however. I do not think it has the ability to go back and add anything to any post that is dormant but if you wish to edit any post, then you can there add a description to it. Same thing for new post.

If you do not see this occuring and you have installed in and you have turned it on in Ad CP then you may wish to completly clear cache as in dump cookies and files not just ctrl refresh and then reboot and I am confindent it will come up if installed properly.

It's turned on by default after installation. No need to "enable" it. However none of the template edits that are supposed to be "automatic" were performed.

I know what templates are supposed to be edited, however and I guess I will just have to perform them manually.

I am sorry for the bad advise as I got this confused with another enhancement that was recently installed for me and he forgot to turn it on.

The description enhancement however began to work immediatly for us.
