First thing I want to say is sblum had made a hack with the purpose just like this but mine is way so different so don't yell at me though.

Brief of Description:
vBThread Description hack adds to have a description line goes along with Thread.

Feature:

• Can be turned on/off
• Adds description line goes under the Thread title in FORUMDISPLAY
• Thread's description line is cencored, wrapped as as thread title
• Thread description line goes next to the title in SHOWTHREAD at the firstpost.
• Users with permission can edit this description line
• Description line goes also within thread in search result
• Store description line in a table(database) no extra query

Updated:
Thread description line goes next to the title in SHOWTHREAD at the firstpost.

Install:

If you got any problem or questions, just post it right here, I'm willing to help

Enjoy!

Can descriptions be added to threads that are already there and have no description yet?

[AnhTuanCool]

Probably Yes, just get in the thread and choose for Edit Thread

Then you are a better coder than I am. I did a thread description hack a while back and I had to edit postings.php a lot more than you did.

You just humble Boofo, there are variety of ideas to make a hack, maybe you didn't get the right one though
I appreciate that

Have you tested it to see if you can add a description on a thread that is already there?

[AnhTuanCool]

Yes, I did.

Looks good, the exact same features (except on/off option), but it is a bit cleaner than my version. I didn't include the option to turn it on/off because I figured - why would someone install it and turn it off? :P

Good job.

I just tested it.

It gives me the box to add the description, but, when I hit save it does not show up in the post or the forumdisplay, interesting

I think there has to be more added to postings.php then. So the one I wrote should be right.

Hmmm, I know what ya problem now, in postings.php there are lots

PHP Code:

        'title' => STR 


but you must find the one goes within the Start Update Thread.

All should be right when you do this:

Open postings.php:
Find

PHP Code:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'updatethread')
{
    globalize($_POST, array(
        'threadid' => INT,
        'visible' => STR,
        'open' => STR,
        'sticky' => STR,
        'iconid' => INT,
        'notes' => STR_NOHTML,
        'threadstatus' => INT,
        'reason' => STR,
        'title' => STR
    )); 


Replace with

PHP Code:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'updatethread')
{
    globalize($_POST, array(
        'threadid' => INT,
        'visible' => STR,
        'open' => STR,
        'sticky' => STR,
        'iconid' => INT,
        'notes' => STR_NOHTML,
        'threadstatus' => INT,
        'reason' => STR,
        'title' => STR,
        'description' => STR
    )); 


Find

PHP Code:


        $DB_site->query("
            UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread SET
                visible = $visible,
                open = $open,
                sticky = $sticky ,
                title = '" . addslashes(htmlspecialchars_uni($title)) . "',
                iconid = $iconid,
                notes = '". addslashes($notes) ."'
                $similarthreads
            WHERE threadid = $threadid
        "); 


Replace with

PHP Code:

        $DB_site->query("
            UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread SET
                visible = $visible,
                open = $open,
                sticky = $sticky ,
                title = '" . addslashes(htmlspecialchars_uni($title)) . "',
                description = '" . addslashes(htmlspecialchars_uni($description)) . "',
                iconid = $iconid,
                notes = '". addslashes($notes) ."'
                $similarthreads
            WHERE threadid = $threadid
        "); 


there you go, and I updated the instruction too. Regard
