Preview the first post in a thread first.

Well after attempting to do this before I found that it was making too much of a load on the server so I redid it.

After getting advice from Chen, bira and wluke I have finally gotten this done.

It allows a member to preview the first post in a thread, in your forumdisplay page, by putting their mouse pointer on the thread title. A separate box pops up with the first 500 characters of that post in it so you can preview the message before going into the rest of the thread.

This only works with IE and Opera. It works partially with Netscape (what else is new!).

Upload the attached .php file to your main forum directory and run it. Then read the included readme.txt file for instructions on the modifications needed to your files and templates.

(I have updated the file and put in a later post)

Then open edit.php

and look for

if ($isfirst and $title!="" and $postinfo[dateline]+$editthreadtitlelimit*60>time()) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET title='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."' WHERE threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]");
//$title="";
}

Can't find edit.php - can only find editpost.php and this does not contain the said code - any ideas?

Thanks In Advance!
