[RELEASE] Save Threads Version 1.0

Hi There!

This thread (as the name implies) allows registered users to "save" threads that interest them, and go back and view them all on one page whenever they want. It's sort of like "bookmarking" their favorite threads.

Took awhile, but it works just fine. Did a clean install, followed my own readme instruction and it works! It's not amazing by any means, but I think it came out surprisingly well.

Here's all I need from you all:
- Please report any bugs to me ASAP.
- Please make suggestions for future editions.
- Please feel free to tell me what aspects of it you think I should lose.

Here are some things I have planned for future versions:
- Ability to create folders to sort the saved threads.
- Searching the saved threads.
- Having it slip over into multiple pages with larger totals.
- Having the saved threads page reflect topics with new posts, just as the forums do when you're logged in.


I also know that Ed or rangersfan could create a better hack that does the same things in about a day - but I hope they won't have to now Thanks to the programmers here to also answered some of my questions about the script.

Please let me know what you think, and list your boards here so I can see it in use!

¡Hello!

What happend here?

Please, make something to release this hack, is wonderfull.

Im interesting, but it have to be:

1. Setup of the limit # of saved thread by the admin
2. I create one thread, save it, delete the thread and when i go to the saved thread, i have two of the previous saved thread?
I click on it and then: Invalid thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster.
3. Time limit maybe. If the user dont come anymore to the board, the saved threads continue there. Maybe you can implment time limit, of one week, or something, the thing of the script is if you have many thread you can select some of them and follow it withow search everytime where is.

Or maybe the option to delete saved thread, if the user dont answer an message, email or something every X time.

I thing this are all you have to make.

I don't understand #2 exactly...could you try to re-phrase it? I might work on 1 and 3...right now the biggest concern is splitting more than, say, 10 or 15 saved threads onto multiple pages, and adding custom folders...

#2 - if you save a thread, then delete the thread, it shows two of the previous thread.

I still don't understand. Previous to what?

If you have this on the saved folder.

THREAD 1
THREAD 2
THREAD TO DELETE

and you delete THREAD TO DELETE

Then you can see:

THREAD 1
THREAD 2
THREAD 2

But, if yo click on the las THREAD 2 (after THREAD to delete) the script show the las message i post here.

Thanks.

You sure? This doesn't happen on my copy at all. Has this happened to anyone else? If it hasn't, then it might be a problem with your board...if it has, then I guess I've got another project.

TWT, i dont install it, im using YOUR TEST BOARD.

Oh...well then that is REALLY odd, because I just tried it there and everything works fine.

He see the same.

I'll have to look into this - it works just fine and dandy for me, and has since I released it...
