Remove ALL Redirects, No Bugs, All Browsers

First, I created a new thread or Hack because I myself was having trouble getting this to work out right, although, I really can?t claim full credit for it. Other than thinking to combine a few hacks in a special way I didn?t do much.

These 2 hacks together (Sort of, I removed a lot from Anime-loo?s hack) make it work!

Anime-loo
Remove Posting Redirection (like vB3)

Tommy Boy
Remove Intermediate Redirection Page


What does this hack do?

This hack will remove ALL intermediate redirection messages from all pages (vB 3 style). In addition, when posting a reply to a thread you will be taken to the correct post, i.e. The post that was just created by yourself. This hack will work with all browsers.

Also, this hack works with the quick reply box just in case you were wondering.

Difficultly?

Easy: Edit 2 php files, admin/functions.php and newreply.php. Add one line of code and change 2 lines of code.

See attached text file for instructions.

UPDATE 9/26/2003

For instructions on using this hack in vB version 2.3.2 please click below:

Check out the hack in the Beta Hacks forum that uses native MySQL search to do vB searches, saving you lots of server load, as well as removing the need for searchindex.

i have the same problem as dslteam...
i installed on 2.3.0 and the popupnotification is not working...

i will try to reproduce the error... but i think... the redirection has nothing to do with javascript vom popup?

[bloodcult]

sorry 4 post... comment out, comment in and it works?!

[jamoss]

Got it! Thanks.

For the PM redirects, edit private.php

Find this line:

eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_p mthanks")."\",\"private.php?s=$session[sessionhash]\");");

Comment it out and put this one after it:

HEADER("LOCATION: private.php?s=$session[sessionhash]");

[Erwin]

You don't need to edit the private.php to get rid of the redirects - the functions code will fix it.

Also, the PM popup is NOT affected by this hack. It has been working on my private forums for over a year, and PM popup works without problems.

anyone see what this guy posted here:

faster and easier edit. Works great on 2.3.0, read my post under his too.

Besides This benefit :

it really does seem to increase speed on the boards, or at least give that impression.

What other benefit this hack offers when installed ??

I'd be interested to know more before installing it.

Thank you

That's exactly what this hack is. Except there's an extra portion so you are redirected to your own post after making a reply.

Although, after thinking about this I need to write my own little goto function similar to goto=newpost so that it takes you to the last post made by yourself. Because on busy boards things get tricky and you end up in different places if others have made replies while you were typing yours.

No time now, maybe erwin has done this, and maybe vB 3 does this as well, dunno, and haven?t looked.
