On.gif = Link to latest threads in forum · **Released**: 08-16-2002

Requested by Boofo in this thread =P.

This will make the on.gif a link to get the latest threads in that forum. It will not affect the off.gif. It's just like the "Get New Posts" link, only forum specific

.

File edits: 6 (2 in root/index.php, 2 in root/forumdisplay.php, 2 in root/usercp.php)
Template edits: 5 (forumhome_forumbit_level1_post, forumhome_forumbit_level2_post,forumdisplay_forumb it_level1_post, forumdisplay_forumbit_level2_post, usercp_forumbit)
New templates: 1 (forumhome_onlink)
Install time: 5 minutes

ADDED: On.gif = link to latest threads for subscribed forums in user cp. (Thanks Boofo) It's steps 10, 11, and 12 from version 1.3.

I found something that would look better on a mouseover.

Replace this:

Code:

Get New Posts in this Forum

with this:

Code:

There are NO new posts in this forum

in both the root/index.php and /root/forumdisplay.php.

o_O...you mean for the off.gif? "Get new posts in this forum" is for the on.gif...

Edit: Oh, I see. It's because I copied the other and forgot to change >_<.

Bug found with the locked forum icons.

Unknown553 · #15 08-18-2002, 04:58 PM

Thanks, that worked

Austin Dea · #16 08-18-2002, 04:59 PM

{sorry, deleted the post above his thanks >_<)

Oh thanks. In both forumdisplay.php and root/index.php

Replace:

PHP Code:


			
        if ((!$forumperms['canpostnew'] and $showlocks) or $forum['allowposting']==0) {

          $forum['onoff'].='lock';

        }

With:

PHP Code:


			
        if ((!$forumperms['canpostnew'] and $showlocks) or $forum['allowposting']==0) {

          $forum['onoff']='<img src="{ imagesfolder}/lock.gif" border="0" alt="This forum is locked">';

        }

And remember to take out the space in { imagesfolder}

.

Can you point out the differences in the updates? I think i have you're first version installed- and its a b*tch to go through everything...

kenny@ecn · #18 08-19-2002, 04:19 AM

Please point out the differences in the update as opposed to the previous version.

Austin Dea · #19 08-19-2002, 04:28 AM

Well, I fixed the errors mentioned above...

kenny@ecn · #20 08-19-2002, 04:29 AM

Is there a version that you can make of the installer to update the previously installed version instead of going through the whole entire process again?>

Austin Dea · #21 08-19-2002, 04:35 AM
