[AJAX] Thread Bumping 1.1 · **Released**: 01-27-2007

[AJAX] Thread Bumping 1.2

What is this?
This hack well let you bump threads and make them show up at the top of the forum again even though no new post has been added to it. This is done by simply double clicking in a cell on forumdisplay (see screenshots). On bump it will update the thread's lastpost date to the current time, the last post inside will not be affected.

Installation
See install.txt in the .zip archive. (~ 3 minutes)

Upgrade (from 1.0 to 1.1)
Revert the template "threadbit" and then repeat all steps in install.txt. Make sure to have the option "Allow Overwrite" checked when importing the product again. Also don't forget to overwrite the old threadbump.js with the new one.

Upgrade (from 1.1 to 1.2)
You need only import the product.xml found in the .zip package and make sure to have the option 'Allow Overwrite' set to Yes. No template edits required and no need to upload threadump.js.

Version 1.1
* Updates forumhome so the bumped thread will show up there, just as it should
* Correctly displays the new bumped thread for the bumper
* Correctly displays the new bumped thread under stickys in that forum, if there are any

Version 1.2
* Security fix

* Note
If you have the "separate stickys" hack installed you can edit the plugin executed at hook "forumdisplay_start" and replace $tstickys = 0; with $tstickys = 1;. I haven't tested this but that should work.

Pleas click INSTALL if you're using this hack.

Thank you.

Well I believe it's normal for the database depending on what charset you use, most likely you have "MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)" or the like no? Happens for me as well (swedish characters).

However, are you saying vBulletin display those characters incorrect? That would seem weird to me.

After a thread is bumped, the following error appears:
Attachment 60261

And the post status icon is not read from the correct path:
Attachment 60262

Any idea how I can correct these problems? Thanks.

BTW, in a somewhat related reply to the poster above who has some encoding problem, I can report that I have this mod working in my UTF-8 3.6.4 for Chinese characters (both Simplified and Traditional) and there is no character/encoding problem for me.

Is that IE6?
On line 74 in threadbump.js try change

HTML Code:

document.getElementById('td_threadtitle_' + tthreadid).parentNode.getElementsByTagName('td')[3].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].getElementsByTagName('span')[0].firstChild.nodeValue = xmlHttp.responseText;

to

HTML Code:

document.getElementById('td_threadtitle_' + tthreadid).parentNode.getElementsByTagName('td')[3].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].getElementsByTagName('span')[0].innerHTML = xmlHttp.responseText;

also on line 72 you can hardcode your statusicon folder like so

HTML Code:

setAttribute('src', 'http://www.mydomain.com/forum/images/statusicon/thread_dot_new.gif');

My crew uses IE6 and firefox...

for the status icon, the following works instead (yes omit the http:// part or else the link becomes http://http// ):

HTML Code:

setAttribute('src', 'www.mydomain.com/forum/images/statusicon/thread_dot_new.gif');

Thanks for your work in this mod. All of my crew love it!

Nice hack, will come in very useful for staff.

I have the Seperate Sticky hack installed, The fix you mention does work in that it keeps the stickies seperated although it stops the thread list from updating in real time, a refresh is required. (Although post notification icon updates in real time) Can this be fixed?

But the thread bumps up right under the stickys no? Can you post screenshot?

Spank · #49 02-10-2007, 10:37 AM

The stickies still seperate yes, it's just when you bump it doesn't do it straight away, a refresh is required to see that the tread has been bumped. I'm not sure how i can show this in a screen shot, but here's one anyway.

Actually the Seperated Sticky fix doesn't work, I guess I didn't test it right. Although one can 'unstick' the bumped threads which puts them back into the normal threads.

Are you saying that the bumped thread becomes a sticky? Even permanent? The screenshot does not tell.

Well I don't have time to write custom code for everyone depending on whether their forumdisplay is modified or not. Maybe I'll make a fix for those with the separate sticky hack, but not for now.

Maybe you could live with the fact that it's bumped yet it doesn't show until page refresh. If not, then uninstall?

When more restrictions can be applied I will install this hack too.
