[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!

JohnM: did you have the same problem, or were you just explain it to me?

I just registered under "TWTCommish2" and saved some threads and deleted them without ANY problem at all...no idea what's wrong.

Anyone else have this problem?

OK, i thing this is a great hack and i want it for my site, but i wait until this have a limit of saved thread, and some way to delete saved thread of user that dont com in X time or reply some advice.

Maybe i dont speak well.

If you have in the SAVED FOLDER

THREAD 1
THREAD 2
THREAD 3

and then in THE FORUM, the autor or webmaster delete THREAD 3

When you go back to the SAVED FOLDER you have:

THREAD 1
THREAD 2
THREAD 2

The last THREAD 2 IS THREAD 3, but the same name than the last saved thread.

If you follow the las thread 2, you have an error, like i send in the other post.

Try it please.

How could you know that if I havn't deleted any threads on the forum? I also still don't see why it would happen that way...

Sorry for any problems with the hack, but so far it seems fine to me. Only thing I'm rushing to add is multi-page support...and then possible folders.

you try it??????
maybe if you do it yo can see the same i see.

Yes, I did...and I see the problem, but it isn't exactly how you described it. You didn't answer the question though: how'd you run into it if I've never deleted a thread on that testboard?

"how'd you run into it if I've never deleted a thread on that testboard?"

I dont understand your question:

1. I thing you are asking if you dont delete threads... then i cant see this error?

2. Or what happend if you dont allow your user to delete thread, then they can see this error?

If the first is the question: I create 2 more thread, then add two of the existing threads + my 2 thread and then delete one of my threads. And the result is the error i write here.

2. If the user cant delete threads, then thats ok, but the problem is not fixed, and if i as the webmaster i delete one, then if some user have that thread in the saved folder, can see the same error.

Thanks.

I didn't know you can delete your own threads...thought only mods could.

Hello

I dont know what happend here. Im talk you about a serious error and you ask me if i can or cant delete threads. Obiously i TRY in YOUR BOARD and i CREATE and DELETE the threads as i say to you.

Now, if you dont want to see what happen is OK.
But if im talking with you about the problem is because i FOUND IT, im not kidding with this or playing with you. I think this can be a good hack.

If you dont want to believe me, is ok, but i thing this:

1. You dont try it, and dont see the problem,
2. Maybe You dont WANT to see the problem (i dont know why).

I try THREE time the same think with THE SAME RESULT on YOUR TEST BOARD.

Your answer by now are:

1. The problem is you forum (But i use YOUR TEST FORUM)
2. Oh...well then that is REALLY odd, because I just tried it there and everything works fine (But JohnM see the same problem).
3. How could you know that if I havn't deleted any threads on the forum? I also still don't see why it would happen that way... (and i explain you I DELETE THREAD on YOUR TEST BOARD).
4. I didn't know you can delete your own threads...thought only mods could. (I TRY THREE TIMES, with the same error; but NOW the TEST BOARD is DOWN).

Thanks

Alright, calm down. You're not understanding me correctly at all.

I didn't not tell you the problem was with your board, I ASKED you if it might be...your English seems akward and it was not clear that you were using my forum...perhaps I missed something, but your posts have seriously confused me nontheless.

Also, I didn't realize that you could delete your own threads - RELAX! I'm not being a jerk because I didn't realize it. I'm having a very hard time understanding what you're saying, that's all. Stop taking it personally.

Yes, as I said before now, I now see the problem and do not know what is wrong, but will have to deal with it later.

And please stop with the CAPS - unless you're angry or something. In such a discussion it implies anger.
