LAST UPDATED 3.31.01 12:45 AM Eastern
Updated to version 0.0.2 New features in 0.0.2: Floodcheck. You can set it so that your users cannot bump any particular thread more than once every X hours. It records the time it was last bumped in a new field in the Thread table. This hack allows your users to bump a thread without posting in it. This is different from making a thread sticky in two ways: First, this will not append the thread title with "Sticky", and second, the thread will only be at the top of the thread list until another post is made, at which point it becomes second, so this is somewhat temporary (moreso on larger boards). This version will allow any authorized user to bump a thread. You can authorize in four different ways: First, any user who posted in a thread. Second, the poster of the first post in a thread. Third, the poster of the last post in a thread. And fourth, any registered (and logged in) user. You can set this in the options, as detailed below in the instructions. This hack is based on the canedit permission and requires that you allow your users to edit their own messages. If you don't, this hack *will not* work. If you are looking for a bump hack for just your moderators, I have released a separate version here that does just that. There is no demo or screenshot, but trust me it works and looks lovely. This hack includes a button in GIF format that says "Bump" that is made to blend with the rest of the standard purple buttons. It can be edited in any photo- or graphics-editing program to be made a different color, or you can substitute your own file for it. Hack Version: 0.0.2 New features since last version: See above. For version: v2 beta 3 (may work with beta 1 or beta 2, but it is untested with those versions). Files needed: postingsadd.txt, redirect_bump_notfirst_template.txt, redirect_bump_notlast_template.txt, redirect_bump_template.txt, redirect_bump_floodcheck.txt, showthread_bump_template.txt (see attached zip file). Files to edit: postings.php, postingsadd.txt, showthread.php (see instructions below). Templates to edit/create: showthread, showthread_bump, redirect_bump_notfirst, redirect_bump_notlast, redirect_bump, redirect_bump_floodcheck (see instructions below). Instructions 1] Unzip the files bumpbig.gif, posttingsadd.txt, showthread_bump_template.txt, redirect_bump_template, redirect_bump_floodcheck, and redirect_bump_notfirst_template to your hard drive. 2] Open the file postingsadd.txt in an ASCII text editor, such as Notepad (Windows), SimpleText (Mac), EditPlus, UltraEdit, TextPad, etc. (DO NOT use WYSIWYG HTML editors such as FrontPage, HotDog, DreamWeaver, etc. They will in all likelyhood screw up the file! I will not be able to support you if you edit the file in one of these programs.) 3] If you want anyone to be able to bump a thread, set $postersonly to 0 (on the third line). Otherwise set it to 1. If you have $postersonly set to 1, and you want only the last poster in a thread to be able to bump it, set $lastposter to 1, otherwise set it to 0. If you have $postersonly and $lastposter both set to 0 and would like only the first poster (aka thread starter) to be able to bump the thread, set $firstonly to 1, otherwise set it to 0. If you set all three options to 0, anyone (who is logged in) will be able to bump the thread. If you want to limit the bumping of all threads to once every X hours, set $hours to the number you want. It must be a whole number and more than -1 (e.g. 2, 5, 8, 12). If you don't want to use this, set $hours to 0. 4] Save postingsadd.txt and then open postings.php. Add the contents of postingsadd.txt to postings.php right below PHP Code:
PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Code:
eval("\$forumrules = \"".gettemplate("forumrules")."\";"); Code:
eval("\$bump = \"".gettemplate("showthread_bump")."\";"); 7] Go to your admin control panel. Add a new template called showthread_bump and fill it with the contents of showthread_bump_template.txt. Add another new template called redirect_bump and fill it with the contents of the redirect_bump_template.txt file. Add another new template called redirect_bump_notfirst and fill it with the contents of the redirect_bump_notfirst_template.txt file. Add another new template called redirect_bump_notlast and fill it with the contents of redirect_bump_notlast_template.txt. 8] Edit the showthread template as follows. Find Code:
<td valign="middle"><A HREF="newthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newthread&forumid=$forum[forumid]"> Code:
<td valign="middle">$bump<A HREF="newthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newthread&forumid=$forum[forumid]"> 9] Test it out! Instructions are also included in the zip file (bump.txt). FEEDBACK WANTED! Likes/dislikes/modification requests all gladly accepted. Show Your Support
