Admins creates threads which are actually links · **Released**: 04-01-2002

Ok this is a really neat idea requested by e_dove here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=36862

New version![/b]
Now includes links to Delete Thread as well as Stick/Unstick Thread.
If you already installed the hack, open forumdisplay.php and replace this:

Code:

    if (empty($thread['link'])) {
        $thread['link'] = "showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$thread[threadid]";
    }

with this:

Code:

	$thread['deletelink'] = '';
	if (empty($thread['link'])) {
		$thread['link'] = "showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$thread[threadid]";
	} else {
		$thread['link'] = $thread['link'];
		if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) {
			$thread['deletelink'] = "(<a href=\"postings.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=deletethread&threadid=$thread[threadid]\">delete</a> | <a href=\"postings.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=stick&threadid=$thread[threadid]\">stick / unstick</a>)";
		}
	}

And in your forumdisplaybit template add $thread[deletelink] after $thread[pagenav].

It gives admins the option to create threads, in any forum, which are actually links to someplace else.
Really basic, when admins create a new thread they have a box to enter URL. If the box isn't empty, whenever the thread is accessed the user will be redirected to that URL.

Using vbHacker as always, edits newthread.php, showthread.php and forumdisplay.php. Adds a field to thread table, creates a new template and edits 2 existing templates.

Have fun.

I've installed it (no problems with the install), but ... well, it hasn't changed anything...

I mean, I go to start a new thread and there isn't any box. Am I dense or just thick? *L*

    }

if i put this code to forumdisplay.php i have the following and get a parse error???

PHP Code:


			
if (empty($thread['link'])) {

        $thread['link'] = "showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$thread[threadid]";

    } else {

        $thread['link'].= '" target="_blank';

    } else {

        $thread['link'] = $thread['link'];

        if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) {

            $thread['deletelink'] = "(<a href=\"postings.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=deletethread&threadid=$thread[threadid]\">l?schen</a> | <a href=\"postings.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=stick&threadid=$thread[threadid]\">fix / unfix</a>)";

        }

    }

What's the problem?

can i see some screen shots or something?

Smoothie · #68 10-03-2002, 06:38 AM

Screen shots? It looks like a thread link, but when you click it, it takes you to whatever the link is. There's nothing to see.....

Antorz · #69 10-15-2002, 01:38 AM

I'm also missing all the content in newthread_linkoption

it's linked from newthread w/ $linkoption

and I did all the changes suggested in post #57 of this thead...

do I have my permission wrong or something? I'm testing it using the admin account, with nothing showing up..

Thanks for any help

I installed this hack and it gave me a bunch of errors so I tried to work my way backwards in the hack but decided to freshly install the phps.

Anyway now my thread links link back to the main page and I cant think of how to get them to show the thread anymore :/.

I really need help soon because we have some 3000 plus members and people want to use the board. Any help would be appreciated. Im thinking it has to do with the ALTER TABLE thread ADD link varchar(255) NOT NULL part of the hack because when I go to manuel mode it shows up blank.

Fixed the problem.

-_- it was the forumbits template I forgot to revert .... god I feel like a noob.
