Show Thread Enhancements - Show Full CMS Article in Comments Thread

This is more of an example than a modification. I wrote this quick plugin for someone and thought I would share it. It's something someone can take and build on. All it does is if you look at the CMS Article thread in your CMS Comments forum, the content of the CMS Article is shown under the blurb "You can view the page at.....". This is ONLY for Articles - not Static Pages or PHP Direct Evaluation content types. Someone can build on this and do those if they want. The person I wrote this for had forms in their articles and needed the submit button to be disabled, so this plugin does that also.

Like I said - this is more of an example. I don't plan to do anything more with it and I'm not helping with modifying it for your own use. Use it however you want.

This adds one query to the threads in the CMS Comments forum.

To install....

$result = $this->registry->db->query_first("
    SELECT cms_article.pagetext, cms_article.threadid, cms_article.htmlstate 
    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cms_article AS cms_article

$bbcode_parser = new vBCms_BBCode_HTML(vB::$vbulletin,  vBCms_BBCode_HTML::fetchCmsTags());

$pagetext = fetch_censored_text($bbcode_parser->do_parse($result['pagetext'],true,$result['htmlstate']));

$find = 'type="submit"';
$replace = 'type="submit" disabled';
$pagetext = str_replace ($find, $replace, $pagetext);

$result['previewtext'] = $pagetext;
$this->post['message'] .= '<br />*********<br />'. $result['previewtext'];
}

CMS Comment Thread:


If you ONLY want to show the full article to users, not guests, then change this condition (thanks to mattysheff):

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND $this->thread['forumid'] ==  $this->registry->options['vbcmsforumid'] AND  $this->post['postcount'] == 1) 


to this:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND $show['member'] AND  $this->thread['forumid'] == $this->registry->options['vbcmsforumid'] AND $this->post['postcount'] == 1)

Let me explain so users can better understand the code and why it appears as a link.

Deep inside /includes/class_bbcode.php, line 2581 "if (!empty($this->attachments["$attachmentid"]))" checks if the $bbcode_parser object has an array defined with details about the image attachment (ie; size, contenttype, placement, thumbnail, etc). If that data is not present, it defaults to creating a link to the attachment.

I backtracked through the function where CMS article calls the bbcode parser, see file /packages/vbcms/item/content/article.php, line 428 which shows how it fetches the attachment data using the content nodeid.

The snippet below has nodeid added to the query, and the block populating the $attachments array. Enjoy

Also to be noted, Tapatalk users cannot view articles on main page, now they will be able to view the content using the forum

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND $this->post['postcount'] == 1 AND $this->thread['forumid'] == $this->registry->options['vbcmsforumid']) {

$result = $this->registry->db->query_first("
       SELECT cms_article.pagetext, cms_article.threadid, cms_article.htmlstate, cms_node.nodeid  
    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cms_article AS cms_article 
    INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cms_node AS cms_node ON (cms_node.contentid = cms_article.contentid) 
    INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cms_nodeinfo AS cms_nodeinfo ON (cms_nodeinfo.nodeid = cms_node.nodeid) 
    WHERE cms_nodeinfo.associatedthreadid = ". $this->thread['threadid']. "
        ");

    if($result) {
        $bbcode_parser = new vBCms_BBCode_HTML(vB::$vbulletin, vBCms_BBCode_HTML::fetchCmsTags());;
        
        $attach = new vB_Attach_Display_Content(vB::$vbulletin, 'vBCms_Article');
        $attachments = $attach->fetch_postattach(0, $result['nodeid']);
        $bbcode_parser->attachments = $attachments;
        $bbcode_parser->unsetattach = true;
        
        $this->post['message'] = fetch_censored_text($bbcode_parser->do_parse($result['pagetext'], true, $result['htmlstate']));
            
    }  
} 


PS: If anyone else has noticed that [ATTACH] is not properly parsed in RSS feeds, I will find a solution and post it in the next couple days.

That worked a treat!

I have an issue where if someone makes a comment the CMS article disappears but the this Forum remains intact, not sure if 2 are connected
