Administrative and Maintenance Tools - [AJAX] Thread Bumping 1.1

[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.

Anyone? I think the pop up is superfluous, the chances of accidentally clicking this small cell twice is small so why not remove the pop up

In threadbumb.js, remove the following lines completely:
35,37,38,105

Thanks for the update. However, I am confused - at the top of this thread I found this:

Upgrade
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.

why is that necessary? I did a comparison of the template edits and they are both identical in version 1.1 and 1.2 (as is the threadbump.js - the only differences seem to be in the product.xml

I assume that the "upgrade" info was from the 1.1 version, however perhaps you should make the distinction a bit clearer to save folks time and energy.

I didn't even see that, it has been changed now. I did however state clearly in the email that all that is needed is to import the new product.xml.

Are you ever going to fix the bug that only allows certain threads to be bumped? As it is right now, not every thread is bumpable, most are, some aren't. Is this going to get fixed?
