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.

Enjoy!

Oh, you know what, I make the option for you to choose for enable or disable in vB Options > Message Posting and Interface Options > Thread Description Enabled, if you changed that $SHOWTHREADDESCRIPTION = false; to $SHOWTHREADDESCRIPTION = true; then it's useless , try to switch between in vB Options

Ok, here are the new problems:

1: The thread descriptions ONLY show up in forumdisplay. They don't show up when searching for new posts.
2: The thread descriptions show up TWICE in forumdisplay. Maybe the code makes it insert twice?
3: Every single thread now has space under it, where the description WOULD be if it had one. How can I get rid of it?

[AnhTuanCool]

All right, check these things:

Did you use the $thread[threaddescription] or $thread[description]?
Second, get in admincp vB Options > Message Posting and Interface Options to see if Thread Description is on or off.

Then fill the threadbit template with the content of the attachment below

I checked the vB options, and descriptions ARE turned on.

Second, I replaced threadbit with the new content, and that fixed both the double thead description problem, AND the empty space problem!

Now, the only remaining question: How do I get the thread descriptinos to appear on Search New Posts?

You are a great hacker, and provide excellent support. Easily some of the best I've ever received. Keep it up!

Oh Thank you, I'm glad to hear it

To get the Thread's Description goes within the Thread Title in Search Result, do these things:

Open search.php
Find:

PHP Code:

                thread.threadid, thread.threadid AS postid, thread.title AS threadtitle, thread.iconid AS threadiconid, 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

                thread.threadid, thread.threadid AS postid, thread.title AS threadtitle, thread.description AS threaddescription, thread.iconid AS threadiconid, 


Save it up.

Get in your admincp,
Open template search_results_postbit
Find:

			$post[typeprefix] <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$post[threadid]$post[highlight]"><strong>$post[threadtitle]</strong></a>

Replace with:

			$post[typeprefix] <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$post[threadid]$post[highlight]"><strong>$post[threadtitle]</strong></a><br /><font class="smallfont">$thread[threaddescription]</font>

Save up and you got it. Enjoy

Thanks, it works GREAT!!!! This hack is now running perfectly for me

You should think about putting the Search instructions in your txt document. A lot of other board owners probably want it to work in search too.

Oh sure, I'm on it now thanks

I installed but the description box does not show...

[AnhTuanCool]

Re-fill the threadbit template with this one https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=20952

Get in ACP > vb Options > Message Posting and Editng Options > check whether Thread Description is turned on. Good luck

[jpt62089]

it is turned on and i changed the thread bit... but still no luck
