vB3 Unanswered Threads Hack v1.3 · **Released**: 03-26-2004

vB3 Unanswered Threads Hack
Version 1.3
(By Boofo and Kirby)

What does this hack do?
This hack will provide you with a link that will pull up all unanswered threads on your forums and also unanswered threads on a forum by forum basis. Unanswered threads are threads that have no replies to them. This is great for forums that do any kind of tech support so you can find the posts that have not been answered and respond to them.

Version information:
Version 1.0 --Initial Release
Version 1.1 --Updated to allow Admins, Super Moderators and Moderators to see the link.
Version 1.2 --Added code for Forum Tools Menu links and Navbar Quick Links.
Version 1.3 --Fixed nasty bug with the semi-colon showing up by itself for unanswered threads. Now "Unanswered Threads --" (sans quotes) will show up in place of the semi-colon if the search is for unanswered threads.

Installation overview:
Files to edit: (1)
--search.php
Templates to edit: (6)
--search_results
--forumdisplay
--forumhome
--forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
--forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
--navbar

New to installing hacks first one actually. Is this compatible with VB 3.0.7 As I have looked for

// check our results and decide what to do
switch ($highScore)
{

in search.php and do not see it anywhere.

Your link provides nice information but this hack really does something else:

But maybe it's a temporary solution.

I can't understand. SO MANY CODERS, and nobody can (of will) make such a hack?

The link ice9 provided works great! Nothing 'temporary' about it. You simply make a button and add the search url to it and then it will tell you which posts have been unanswered. The only thing it can't do, that I'm aware of, is to exclude certain forums. Other then that it's the same as the hack

I for one really appreciate ices link

Re-read the link I've posted. Any search that can be performed via the search function can be hard-coded with a link. Feel free to check out the site in my profile to see how it's done -- excluding forums is certainly possible. Actually, it's done by specifically including certain forums, with the forumchoice variable.

1. I only want to do it for one forum.
2. It makes a seperate page with the results, leaving the originale forum alone. I want to push the trheads up.
3. How could I ever made a button in one single forum?

ice9 · #80 04-24-2005, 08:14 PM

You can use the forumchoice option to limit your searches to certain forum(s). Not sure what you mean by #2 and #3.

Will this be ported for 3.5?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
