Hi all,

This is a brand new addition to my own BB, so I don't even know how my own users will react to it, let alone how you guys would

Hack Description:

Posts you have already read in a thread, will show up with their header only (a row that includes the username, post subject and date only). New posts only will appear in full.
This is user selectable via the 'Edit Options' page: each user can decide if he wants this option on or not. (By default all existing and new users will have this turned Off).
A link at the top of the thread offers to "expand all" posts or "contact all" posts.
by clicking on the + sign on a shruk post, it will expand without the page reloading. By clicking on the - sign on an expanded post, it will shrink without the page reloading.
[high]this option is available for your IE users only! Netscape users will see no difference and will not be affected anyway at all by the change[/high]

How to install:

Please download the attached zipfile.
Upload plus.gif and minus.gif to your images directory
Upload install_contractposts.php to your admin directory and run that script.

Note: there are quite a few changes to make (primarily additions, not replacements) to the vb scripts and templates. The process should take you several minutes, so I recommend you close your Bulletin Board while installing the hack.

Demo:

You are welcome to visit my Bulletin Board, at http://www.atlasf1.com , to see what the additions look like. To test it in full (ie, the option of old posts being shrunk by default), you will have to register and modify your options after you have received your password.

Cheers,

Bira

Only just found this hack and think its one of the most useful I have come across. Really easy to install as well. Thanks a lot bira

Hmm, I remember a "Collapsable forums on forum home" hack that does a similar thing, but also works with MoZilla. I wish this one would work with MoZilla, too ...

place $post[shortmsg] in the posbit template.

Nice hack, installed and works perfectly!

kmfdm_kid2000 · #**278** 08-29-2002, 08:40 AM

[QUOTE]Originally posted by SiXXGuNNZ

where abouts to I put it? do I replace anything in postbit? or do I just add it wherever I feel like it?

wolfman · #**279** 09-01-2002, 03:44 AM

I do havea agree that this is a nice hack, though I know I have messed up on the install, nothing seems to be broken though the expand all / contract all does not work. I have tried to go through the reg process to see if there were any problems there and I have found none. The board is up and working fine other than that one problem.

I am running 2.2.6 and I have a few mods installed already any help with this would be welcomed and my thanks for this in advance.

wolfman · #**280** 09-02-2002, 04:56 AM

Well I went back after a good nights sleep and found that I had left one of the steps out. So this was totally my error and this is one of those hacks that are a must have

cybrcyfr · #**281** 09-04-2002, 05:49 AM

I really wanted an expand/contract all that is client side. This will not hold state when moving from page to page.

Note that the object I am referencing to get the DIV collection has the id of "tblResults". You will have to modify the "postbit" tempate and add a name to the parent table that encapsules all of the threads.

id="tblResults"

JavaScript Code
[QUOTE]
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function ExpandAll(){
var objDivs = tblResults.all.tags("DIV");
for(i = 0; i < objDivs.length; i++){
if (objDivs(i).style.display=="none") {
objDivs(i).style.display="";
}else {
objDivs(i).style.display="none";
}
}
}
function ContractAll(){
var objDivs = tblResults.all.tags("DIV");
for(i = 0; i < objDivs.length; i++){
if (objDivs(i).style.display=="show" || objDivs(i).style.display=="") {
objDivs(i).style.display="none";
}else {
objDivs(i).style.display="";
}
}
}
</script>
