Show Thread Enhancements - Show Full CMS Article in Comments Thread

This is more of an example than a modification. I wrote this quick plugin for someone and thought I would share it. It's something someone can take and build on. All it does is if you look at the CMS Article thread in your CMS Comments forum, the content of the CMS Article is shown under the blurb "You can view the page at.....". This is ONLY for Articles - not Static Pages or PHP Direct Evaluation content types. Someone can build on this and do those if they want. The person I wrote this for had forms in their articles and needed the submit button to be disabled, so this plugin does that also.

Like I said - this is more of an example. I don't plan to do anything more with it and I'm not helping with modifying it for your own use. Use it however you want.

This adds one query to the threads in the CMS Comments forum.

To install....

Create a Plugin
Hook Location - postbit_display_complete
Title - Show Full CMS Article
Plugin PHP Code -

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND $this->thread['forumid'] == $this->registry->options['vbcmsforumid'] AND $this->post['postcount'] == 1) {

$result = $this->registry->db->query_first("
    SELECT cms_article.pagetext, cms_article.threadid, cms_article.htmlstate 
    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cms_article AS cms_article 
    INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cms_node AS cms_node ON (cms_node.contentid = cms_article.contentid) 
    INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cms_nodeinfo AS cms_nodeinfo ON (cms_nodeinfo.nodeid = cms_node.nodeid) 
    WHERE cms_nodeinfo.associatedthreadid = ". $this->thread['threadid']. "
        ");

$bbcode_parser = new vBCms_BBCode_HTML(vB::$vbulletin,  vBCms_BBCode_HTML::fetchCmsTags());

$pagetext = fetch_censored_text($bbcode_parser->do_parse($result['pagetext'],true,$result['htmlstate']));

$find = 'type="submit"';
$replace = 'type="submit" disabled';
$pagetext = str_replace ($find, $replace, $pagetext);

$result['previewtext'] = $pagetext;
$this->post['message'] .= '<br />*********<br />'. $result['previewtext'];
}

CMS Comment Thread:


If you ONLY want to show the full article to users, not guests, then change this condition (thanks to mattysheff):

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND $this->thread['forumid'] ==  $this->registry->options['vbcmsforumid'] AND  $this->post['postcount'] == 1) 


to this:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND $show['member'] AND  $this->thread['forumid'] == $this->registry->options['vbcmsforumid'] AND $this->post['postcount'] == 1)

I imagine if you took the last bit out of that it might work....

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND $this->post['postcount'] == 1) {

Man, I did this but when I move it somewhere else it removes the article and only the link shows up. Am I missing something here?

Note: I did use your file Mark.B to have the article in its own box, does affect it at all?

I will probably wait now until 4.1.12, after that I will need to revisit my amendments to this add on and will share what transpires.

Sorry.

I am still on 4.1.10 so I don't know why this wouldn't work, I finally gave up and disabled it. Sucks cuz its a pretty cool addon.

is there a way to get "You can view the page at 'url'", so that all it does is just show the article in the preview?

[Lynne]

Huh? I don't understand the question. If you want to remove the line about the url, then just change the plugin to replace the full $pagetext instead of adding to it.

[BoardWizard]

i probably should have proofread my post. i meant get rid of. so where in the code do i replace instead of add to it?

[Lynne]

Just change this line:

PHP Code:

$this->post['message'] .= '<br />*********<br />'. $result['previewtext']; 


to something like this:

PHP Code:

$this->post['message'] = $result['previewtext']; 


[BoardWizard]

thanks but all that did was get rid of the line ******
now it says You can view the page at (Url) then the beginning of the article right next to it.

[Lynne]

Did you may sure to change the .= to a = ?

[astdirect]

Lynne, great addition and i am using it with no problems. Howeve i just want to ask a related question on whether it is possible to do the same for when you promote a blog ?
