NOTICE: This is for vBulletin v3.6 ONLY. You can find a v3.5 compatible version here.

*** Confirmed working on ALL vBulletin 3.6.x versions! ***

Keywords: FORUMDISPLAY, search, results, collapse, AJAX, collapsable, first, last, unread, post

Description:
Allows you to expand/collapse the first, last or first unread post of a thread from FORUMDISPLAY and search results without the need to load the entire thread.

Details:
Upon perusing the wonderful deals over at slickdeals.net, I noticed this nifty feature which caught my eye. I found it quite useful as most people have a bad habit of not being very descriptive with their thread titles. This little trick made my browsing experience much more enjoyable, so naturally I had to borrow [read: shamelessly rip] the idea.

Please note that no additional queries are added, unless using the 'First Unread Post' option. Otherwise, the only queries performed are the same as those when a thread is normally viewed.

The magic behind this modification is performed by jQuery: The Write Less, Do More, JavaScript Library.

[hr]-[/hr]
Usage:
Simply click the expand icon [+] in front of the thread title to expand, and the collapse icon [-] to collapse. Rocket science, eh?

[hr]-[/hr]
Installation:
  1. Download and unzip the ajax_first_post.zip archive.
  2. Upload necessary files to their respective locations. (Attention custom style users! Be sure to upload the images to your custom image directory.)
  3. Import the product-ajax_first_post.xml via the Product Manager.
  4. Make any desired configuration changes via AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Collapsable First Post using AJAX
  5. ???
  6. Profit!

Notes:
All template modifications are made automatically. They attach to pretty common text locations, so modified styles shouldn't* be a problem.

However, for those who wish (or need) to perform the edits manually, you can find that information here.

Works on 3.8.

Anyway for it to work for threads listed in the tag thread? I notice that it adds the option "read first post" to the threads in the tag list, but it doesn't do anything if clicked.

Noticed that as well. For the rest it seems to work fine in 3.8.2 except for the old spoiler bug as mentioned before in this thread.

Would love to see an 'official' update though!

Hi there! Thanks for this!

I have it installed but I'm experiencing two problems.

1. I'm able to click on the plus sign and it expands as it should. However, when I attempt to click on the negative sign, it doesn't do anything. When I double click it, it gives me the ability to edit the Thread Title???

I've read a post where you recommended to check the all the .js files are being read and I've checked the source and see that they are.

Can you please help me with this? It would be great if I could make it so that my members and I could collapse it after viewing.

2. I can't figure out how to include the edit and/or reply button into the expanded post. Are there any detailed (somewhat simple) instructions to follow with this? It would be very helpful!

Thank you again!
