First thing I want to say is sblum had made a hack with the purpose just like this but mine is way so different so don't yell at me though.

Brief of Description:
vBThread Description hack adds to have a description line goes along with Thread.

Feature:

• Can be turned on/off
• Adds description line goes under the Thread title in FORUMDISPLAY
• Thread's description line is cencored, wrapped as as thread title
• Thread description line goes next to the title in SHOWTHREAD at the firstpost.
• Users with permission can edit this description line
• Description line goes also within thread in search result
• Store description line in a table(database) no extra query

Updated:
Thread description line goes next to the title in SHOWTHREAD at the firstpost.

Thanks, I'll install this later.

would be even better to have description set per forum...
(ok, i have it in my own version) ... cool system thought!

[tomshawk]

In the instructions under postings.php

you say to look for

PHP Code:

'title' => STR, 


the , is not there unless added by another hack, so it should be

PHP Code:

'title' => STR 


This looks kewl, in the process of installing as we speak.

Thanks. I'll click install once its running

[AnhTuanCool]

oh yeah, ya right tomshawk, I corrected the instruction thanks

PHP Code:

Find
####################################
        'title' => STR
####################################
Replace with
####################################
        'title' => STR,
        'description' => STR

Sorry about this, maybe I am doing something wrong, but...

I run the queries and I am getting errors

the first one

PHP Code:

ALTER TABLE thread ADD description VARCHAR(250) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', 


the comma at the end needs to be removed

the second one worked

the 3rd one

PHP Code:

INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (0,  'setting_tdactive_desc', 'If this option set to Yes, Thread Description will be enabled and users can post, see, and edit Description for Thread. If this option set to No, users will only see thread's description only if available.', 5000) 


gives this error

Error

There seems to be an error in your SQL query. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem

Oh, sorry, my bad, I should get an install script for those sql query cuz when I hacked it I just simply insert the data from phpmyadmin and I wrote back the SQL

Instuction Attachment fixed

[tomshawk]

in the new thread box

All there is is a : colon

The word Description is missing

Second, after posting, in the threadview, there is no description row.

Is there is missing template?

I expect there is something to be added to showthread template, but I may be mistaken

[D|ver]

an addition for vbadvacned cmps would be great, if the descriptions would also display in the lastest thread box
