Give an option to send use to forum after posting and not to thread

This hack gives the user the option to select whether he wants to be sent to the forum after posting, or to the thread he posted in.
You can select this option in your profile, and also at the bottom of the new post screen.

In newreply.php replace

PHP Code:

// redirect
      if ($prevpost[visible]) { 


with

PHP Code:

// redirect
      if ($prevpost[visible] && !$sendtoforum) { 


and also in the same file replace

PHP Code:

// redirect
      if ($visible) { 


with

PHP Code:

// redirect
      if ($visible && !$sendtoforum) { 


and still in newreply.php replace

PHP Code:

    if ($bbuserinfo[emailnotification]!=0) {
      $emailchecked="checked";
    } 


with

PHP Code:

    if ($bbuserinfo[emailnotification]) {
      $emailchecked="checked";
    }
    if ($bbuserinfo[sendtoforumdef]!=0) {
      $sendtoforumchecked="checked";
    } 


In newthread.php replace

PHP Code:

} elseif ($visible) {
        $goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid"; 


with

PHP Code:

} elseif ($visible && !$sendtoforum) {
        $goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid"; 


and also in the same file replace

PHP Code:

    if ($bbuserinfo[emailnotification]) {
      $emailchecked="checked";
    } 


with

PHP Code:

    if ($bbuserinfo[emailnotification]) {
      $emailchecked="checked";
    }
    if ($bbuserinfo[sendtoforumdef]!=0) {
      $sendtoforumchecked="checked";
    } 


And in poll.php replace

PHP Code:

// redirect
    if ($threadinfo[visible]) { 


with

PHP Code:

// redirect
    if ($threadinfo[visible] && !$sendtoforum) { 


Now, in your newreply and newthread templates, add this code

<br><input type="checkbox" name="sendtoforum" value="yes" $sendtoforumchecked> <b>Go back to forum:</b> after posting would you like to return to the forum.

right after this code

<br><input type="checkbox" name="signature" value="yes" $signaturechecked> <b>Show Signature:</b> include your profile signature.  Only registered users may have signatures.

In the modifyoptions template add this code

<tr>
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont><b>Use 'Send to forum' by default?</b></normalfont><br>
	<smallfont>Using this option will send you back to the forum after posting a new message.</smallfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont>
		<input type="radio" name="sendtoforumdef" value="yes" $sendtoforumdefchecked> yes
		<input type="radio" name="sendtoforumdef" value="no" $sendtoforumdefnotchecked> no
	</normalfont></td>
</tr>

right after this code

<tr>
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont><b>Use 'Email Notification' by default?</b></normalfont><br>
	<smallfont>Using this option emails you whenever someone replies to a thread that you have participated in.</smallfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont>
		<input type="radio" name="emailnotification" value="yes" $emailnotificationchecked> yes
		<input type="radio" name="emailnotification" value="no" $emailnotificationnotchecked> no
	</normalfont></td>
</tr>

In member.php replace

PHP Code:

  $emailnotification=iif($emailnotification=="yes",1,0); 


with

PHP Code:

  $emailnotification=iif($emailnotification=="yes",1,0);
  $sendtoforumdef=iif($sendtoforumdef=="yes",1,0); 


Also replace

PHP Code:

  $DB_site->query("UPDATE user
                   SET ".$updatestyles."adminemail='$adminemail',
                      showemail='$showemail',invisible='$invisible',cookieuser='$cookieuser',
                      maxposts='".addslashes($umaxposts)."',daysprune='".addslashes($prunedays)."',
                      timezoneoffset='".addslashes($timezoneoffset)."',emailnotification='$emailnotification',
                      startofweek='".addslashes($startofweek)."',options='$options',receivepm='$receivepm',
                      emailonpm='$emailonpm',pmpopup='$pmpopup',usergroupid='$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]',
                      nosessionhash='$nosessionhash'
                   WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'"); 


with

PHP Code:

  $DB_site->query("UPDATE user
                   SET ".$updatestyles."adminemail='$adminemail',
                      showemail='$showemail',invisible='$invisible',cookieuser='$cookieuser',
                      maxposts='".addslashes($umaxposts)."',daysprune='".addslashes($prunedays)."',
                      timezoneoffset='".addslashes($timezoneoffset)."',emailnotification='$emailnotification',sendtoforumdef='$sendtoforumdef',
                      startofweek='".addslashes($startofweek)."',options='$options',receivepm='$receivepm',
                      emailonpm='$emailonpm',pmpopup='$pmpopup',usergroupid='$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]',
                      nosessionhash='$nosessionhash'
                   WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'"); 


and add

PHP Code:

  if ($bbuserinfo[sendtoforumdef]) {
    $sendtoforumdefchecked="checked";
    $sendtoforumdefnotchecked="";
  } else {
    $sendtoforumdefchecked="";
    $sendtoforumdefnotchecked="checked";
  } 


right after

PHP Code:

  if ($bbuserinfo[emailnotification]) {
    $emailnotificationchecked="checked";
    $emailnotificationnotchecked="";
  } else {
    $emailnotificationchecked="";
    $emailnotificationnotchecked="checked";
  } 


And last but by no means least, run this SQL query:

ALTER TABLE user ADD sendtoforumdef SMALLINT(6) DEFAULT '0' not null AFTER emailnotification

Is there a version of this that works for vB 2.3.3????

[deaconxgp]

[larryd]

Ive read the thread and I see a few mentions of how to get this to work with the quick reply box but I dont see anything definite. Can anyone tell me how to implement this with the quick reply box?

Anyone at all?

[Kate]

I really want to use this with 2.3.4 but keep the quick reply box.

bump?

[dfaonxa]

This is exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm running v3.0.0 - is there an update for this hack? Thanks!

[Christine]

This was among my favorite hacks on vB2 as well. Has anyone heard if Chen is going to port it?

[007]

I too would love to see this ported to VB3. Does anybody know of any plans for it?
