Show Thread Enhancements - "Find all started threads" in postbit & postbit_legacy dropdown

fourat asked me to update his modification here for vb4. It just adds a new option, Find all started threads, to the little postbit(_legacy) dropdown and now (in version 1.2) throughout the site.

This was just a simple plugin, but it is now a product. It was a bit more involved figuring out the variable names than any simple little plugin should have to be! Or, perhaps I was just having a bad coding day.



Version History:
1.0 2009-12-01: - initial release by Lynne at vbulletin.org as a plugin
1.1 2010-01-03: - Had to add a phrase and rewrite the plugin, so it's now a product.
1.2 2011-01-23: - Thanks to Boofo, this now works throughout the site.
1.3 2012-05-12: - Fixed template to use CSS for image. (changed around 4.1.12?)




To install:

1. Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Import product-product-lynne_view_threads.xml

To uninstall:

1. Uninstall "Add View Forum Threads to Postbit Dropdown"

I'm getting an error in 4.2.1 when I click on the link from the member's dropdown:

It works fine on my default vb4.2.1 site. I'd suggest trying with a totally default style and with all your other plugins disabled.

[djbaxter]

Not the style - any custom styles on the forums where it wasn't working are mostly just color changes anyway.

It works on two more highly customized forums and gave that error on two other forums. The ones where it works are on a different server. Most of the plugins are the same. Disabling those that weren't the same (other than Sphinx search) mad no difference.

The ones where it wasn't working were both using Sphinx search (the digitalpoint add-on).

However, I edited the template memberaction_dropdown_lynne_view_threads as follows and then it works on the two forums with sphinx search:

Change:

			<a class="siteicon_forum" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=finduser&amp;userid={vb:raw memberinfo.userid}&amp;starteronly=1&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post" rel="nofollow">

To:

			<a class="siteicon_forum" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=finduser&amp;userid={vb:raw memberinfo.userid}&amp;starteronly=1&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Thread" rel="nofollow">

which incidentally is the default link to find recently started threads on the member profile page.

Thanks for the information, djbaxter. Strange that it works fine on my site, but not yours.

work on 4.2.1

[djbaxter]

This no longer working.

Not sure if it's the upgrade to 4.2.3 or my upgrade to MariaDB.
