Forum Introduction · **Released**: 03-14-2002

After installing this hack, you will be able to post a unique introduction for each forum. Sub-forums will show their parent's introduction, unless they have one of their own. This feature is available in ezBoard, so us ezBoard refugees are already familiar with it.

This hack does not add any additional SQL queries to your forum! it was inspired by PPN's hack, which was based on FireFly's code.

Can you tell me where that code is added?

Go to your showthread template and add it right above:

Code:

</table>
<!-- /breadcrumb, nav links -->

That didn't work for me.

What do you mean it didn't work for you? Check the following URL out. This is exactly where I have it.

Testing

Don't pay attention to the disarray on the site. I am still working on it.

I checked it out, but aren't you using the Thread Intro hack?

Boofo · #27 05-20-2002, 05:32 AM

Yes. I am, but I remodified it for my board. It is here if you want it:

Install.txt

Let em know if I can help you with any of it.

Hey thanks! i did look at that hack, but the Forum intro hack was the one I really was interested in. I did install this hack, and it works perfectly, except for this one small detail.

Do you have the forum intro hack installed, or just the thread intro hack?

Boofo · #29 05-20-2002, 06:05 AM

I have just the thread intro hack installed. I am working on a forum intro hack to match the way it is on my board for the thread intro hack. If you are interested in something like that, let me know and I will let you know when I have it done and working. The only real problem I am having right now is with the tables. It is different for the forum display Intro than the thread one.

The forum intro hack is easier for us to manage. I'm not really looking to add intro's to threads. Too much work. And yes, that would be cool if you could let me know when you have something. I've added a few forum intro's on my forums, check 'em out. No real content in them yet, just a few lines of text.

The thread intros are really easy with the hack I use. If you erase them, they automatically go back to the thread title. So you will always have something there, you just decide what it is. With the new version of the hack, you can now do a mass rename of all of your threads. Like if you wanted to make a board wide announcement for some reason (i.e. Holiday, news or whatever).

I will let you know when I have something for the forum intro. It will be like what I have for the thread intro though. I don't want an extra box at the top pf my screen, so that is why I did it this way.
