Mini Mods - [ForumOps] My Active Threads

My Active Threads

This is a small addition to the search / new posts system. It's essentially a combination of 'Find My Posts' and 'New Posts'

On smaller sites, it's easy enough to keep checking the New Posts results and looking for things you've posted in. This is not very time effective. On larger sites, I tend to click (bookmark) 'Find My Posts' and look through my recent posts to see which have replies.

This modification shows results for threads that you have posted in within the past 30 days, and which have been updated within the last 7. This will be configurable eventually, but for now it's a proof-of-concept. If people like it, I will continue to develop it and polish it off.

Installation Instructions

You'll first need to import the product XML to enable the modification. Once it's installed, going to search.php?do=myactivethreads will generate a search result based on the threads you have posted in recently.

You'll need to add a link to your navbar or wherever you'd like to see it added. If some of you can agree on a good spot to add it, I can make it automatic and have an easier install process.

I'll be posting a version for 4.x shortly (few days).

Out of curiosity, what is the use case for usergroup permissions? (aside from blocking guests)

[Alfa1]

Subscribers! Most of the extra functionality that I add to my site, is only available to paying members. That helps pay some of the costs.

Does this work on vb4.2?
