Very, very cool hack, bad_madman!

This will make it heaps easier to moderate long threads! Thanks!

Hey this looks like fun, downloaded the file and I will look at it later Maybe even install it. Gonna discuss how needed this is for our forum. By the way, can this be made for only certain usergroups? So only registered members can use it, or only admins.

No problem. Only ONE line must be changed for this in the file showthread.php

Search after hack installation in showthread.php for:

eval("\$threadview_adds=\"".gettemplate("showthread_adds")."\";");

and replace with

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==x) eval("\$threadview_adds=\"".gettemplate("showthread_adds")."\";");

x = Usergroup. For example '...$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6...'

@xiphoid

In addition, you can remove options.
Open the template 'showthread_adds' and remove the options which you don't need.
For example:

<option value="attach" $ososel[attach]>Attachement</option>
<option value="length" $ososel[length]>Post Length</option>

Or remove a complete block. For example:

<b>in</b>
<select name="sor"><option value="asc" $sorsel[asc]>ascending</option>
<option value="desc" $sorsel[desc]>descending</option></select>

Hi. Great hack. How can I change the color of the background to match my forum? Also, is there a way this can be added to all the pages? Right now it only shows up on individual threads. Thanks again.

[bad_madman]

I have changed the templates.
Reinstall the hack (only templates) or change the templates:
Search in template showthread_adds:

PHP Code:

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%"> 


and

</table>

and delete both lines...

Search in the template showthread for:

	</table>
	$threadview_adds

and replace with:

	$threadview_adds
	</table>

Thank you very much.
