I'd love to see it in vb4 also. Why didn't the peeps at vbulletin just include this anyway?

Hi there,

Ok, I got this one work on vb4.0.2, just a hard way.

After installation I disabled all plugins with the hook global_start, because they're throwing warnings to use the class vB_Template instead of fetch_template(). I'm not savvy enough how to do this, it seems to be very tricky.

After disabling the plugins I did the template edits manually, as they must be edited the templates threadbit, showthread, search_results_postbit, newthread, editpost, threadadmin_editthread.

As an example for the threadbit template:

Just look for the place where you want the template edit have, I would have the thread description under the thread title. So the place to search in threadbit was:

PHP Code:


			
<a class="title<vb:if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"> threadtitle_unread</vb:if>" href="{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}, {vb:raw pageinfo}, 'threadid', 'threadtitle'}" id="thread_title_{vb:raw thread.realthreadid}">{vb:raw thread.threadtitle}</a>

                </h3>

After this I added:

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="$vboptions[description_active]"><vb:if condition="$thread[description] != ''">

<span><i>{vb:var thread.description}</i></span><br />

</vb:if></vb:if>

It's a little code reading for do it in all the templates, but it works for me. Don't worry, death is also not for free, it takes life.

L.R.

Mod active but:
- New Thread - I don't see any Description
- Edit - I see Description, but when I edit & save... nothing saves. Reply Edit = Description is empty.

Default or modifed style not matter - not works

vb382 + vbseo330

Fix it ok:

Forums & Moderators/Forum manager/Choose Forum ID need show description then save again --> show ok

Is there a version of this mod for vb 4.0.x?

And Can it show more than one line of the thread description?

Alecsmith · #**129** 07-14-2010, 06:37 PM

excellent work

A modification i was looking for

cspielman · #**130** 07-14-2010, 06:59 PM

Is there a version of this for vb 4.0.x? Not being able to show thread description along with thread started is truly annoying.

Montecristo · #**131** 10-07-2010, 02:53 PM

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
