Great Thread, thx Rabbit

Not a good idea. To accomplish this, the time of the post would have to be edited, and that would move the post to the end of the thread.

The thread's last updated time can be updated, and that would bump the thread, but it will not solve your purpose. A 10 page thread may have a post on page 4 edited, and users will be wondering why the thread is on top of the forum when the last post is 3 months ago.

Thanks amcd! Yer right, moving the post by adjusting the time is not what I would have had in mind but at least now I have a better understanding of the problem at hand . . .

If I come up with another amicable solution myself I'll certainly post it here.

Hare says ThankYou & Cheers!

I`m not good in php, but i have make it some weeks ago.
Look at my thread in vbulletin.com: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=275195

Maybe you will see something interesting

thx lord.. but my code was correct

it was a problem between xtcommerce and this script.. no i'm handling it on another way

[dlitec]

hmm sorry its me again

i wonder if its possible to vote threads with this too?!

i tried this:

PHP Code:

$postdm->set('votetotal', $voted); 


but recieved the standard error:
Field votetotal is not defined in $validfields in class vB_DataManager_Post in [path]/includes/class_dm.php

anyone has a clue?

edit:
extending in class_dm.php with this variable works.. no error anymore, but the voting is not transfered. do i really have to write into the DB directly? or is there a way?
