It will be nice to add something like if thread description is "game" the thread color is red and when it's "door" the color is green ? And any chance to change thread names using the moderation options ? this one --- > https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...9&d=1178133233

is there a way to change font/color for the thread description?

[nhatrang]

how do we add this to replies as well? WE have it for new threads, what about a member wanting to use the title for the title of their reply, and also want a description? please help.

Hi, i've been having the update sql errors too. Is there an official fix planned for this mod?

I've also not been able to see the options in the forum permissions too.

This used to be so good on my older boards and need it for 3.6.8.

ps. Can't access your support link in the mod description - the forum is down so looking for support here if possible.

Thanks

PHP Code:

$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread SET description = '" . $db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars_uni($edit['description'])) . "' WHERE threadid = '" . $db->escape_string($threadinfo['threadid']) . "'"); 


Now it works...

Great Help Cybershaolin!! :up:

I was receiving an Error Message:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE thread SET description = 'Edici?n de Tema Para A?adir Descripci?n' WHERE threadid = '1973';

MySQL Error  : Table 'inciarc_foros.thread' doesn't exist

According to Your Orientation, in the Admin Control Panel, in the Plugin System for the Add-Ons (Products), I've Located the "Thread Description - Update Description" Plugin and as You Said:

REPLACED:

$db->query_write("UPDATE thread SET description = '" . $db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars_uni($edit['description'])) . "' WHERE threadid = '" . $db->escape_string($threadinfo['threadid']) . "'");

WITH:

$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread SET description = '" . $db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars_uni($edit['description'])) . "' WHERE threadid = '" . $db->escape_string($threadinfo['threadid']) . "'");

And Now The Error Message Is Not Happening, and The Edit of the Description is Successful!!

Thank You very Much Again For Sharing This Excellent Solution!! :up:

My Best Regards!!

Here is the XML file in TMS (Template Modification System) format, for those that have TMS installed.

I am also including the product, which is updated to avoid the error indicated in this thread, using the edits mentioned in this thread. (Note- I also changed the name of the product from ++++++ to Thread Description)
