Improved Thread Preview Hack
Version: 1.00, by N!ck N!ck is offline

The idea for this hack was originally that of Parker Clack, a regular here on vBulletin.org.

What this hack does:
Basically, this hack pops up a little box/window when the mouse is run over a thread title that shows the first three hundred characters of the first post in the thread (that is, the post that started the thread).

Improvements to Parker Clack's hack:
  • Far, far less code...
  • Easier installation (one file edit, one template edit)...
  • Less space usage...the beginning of the first post in each thread is not stored twice - only once now!...

Versions:
3.0: Overgrow's search page thread preview instructions.
2.1: Added some necessary instructions.
2.0 Reduced MySQL queries significantly.
1.0 Initial release.

Comments appreciated...

A version for vbHacker is available here - note: some files may need fixing afterward if they present parse errors!

How to Censor Previews (by nakkid)
See page seven of this thread.

A very important security fix is available here - I have not updated the ZIP, so install it after you install the hack

Slight problem here - although I've applied the search part of this hack 3 times over (just to make sure it's not me), whenever I do a mouseover for the links on a search page it says "fppreview" in a small yellow box, instead of the post contents. Help?!

Sorted it - in the code for the template change (when adding this to search.php) the title of "fppreview" instead of "$fppreview"

John, if you change fppreview to $fppreview, you see preview in search? I don't see

nick, i think you forgot one little detail.. if the thread is deleted, the previewpostid will still be there. you could do this:

open functions.php and go to [high]deletethread()[/high] function.
find:
Code:
    $DB_site->query("DELETE FROM thread WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
BELOW this, add:
Code:
    $DB_site->query("DELETE FROM thread WHERE firstpostid='$firstpostid'");
let me know what you think.
