I had tried a version suggested by someone else instead of my own and well, all it did was send the load average up by about 10 times what it was.

This version inserts the last title into the forum database when it is updating the last post name and time. There is no difference in loading time as everything is called normally by vBulletin.

This works on 2.0.x and 2.2.x

Thanks to floren for the latest update.

hmm this one shouldn't muck it up as it relies on the updateforumcount function, so if you move or delete threads it gets the last thread and updates its value, its the main editing in /admin/functions.php which allows this to do so.
And one query per page view it alot and puts alot of extra server load.

@PPN

I installed the hack as you described in the txt-file. The problem now is that I have an Admin&MOD-Forum eg. and i dont want the normal user to see the last title in these forum.

How can I do this?

THX for help

Make that forum private.

Scott MacVicar · #**125** 03-13-2002, 09:06 PM

in your vBulletin Options select hide private forums.

bigmo · #**126** 03-14-2002, 06:05 AM

the problem is that useres who are not registred can see the forums but can not access those. When I turn on the "hide private forum" option then those useres can´t see any forum, and that´s bad.

The optimal solution for me would be the following:

All forums are visible, but the lasttitle is only displayed at forums the user can access and view. Forums the user dont have the premission to access (eg Admin-Fourm) are visible but the user dont see the lasttitle...

Is it possible to configure it so...???

The code i adjusted sorted this cause it checks if the user has permission to view the forum and if they don't have it then it is hidden. Though this could be changed to check if they are allowed to view other threads or any other sort of permission for a forum. Will show the changes when i get home.

Oh THX that would be fine...

umm.. i installed this hack and now my post and thread counts are acting screwy. When i reply to a thread, the thread count goes to 0 or something along that line.

http://planetplastica.com/forums/index.php - see for yourself.

psychopathic · #**130** 03-17-2002, 03:07 AM

the support on this forum is simply stunning.

Scott MacVicar · #**131** 03-17-2002, 08:52 AM

NO need to bump the topic after a couple of hourse, some of us actually do things outside of vBulletin. Try updating forum info within the Update Counters part of the admin panel.

If this doesn't work then you have made an error while applying it to /admin/functions.php

psychopathic · #**132** 03-17-2002, 12:31 PM

i just figured that i'd get SOMETHING after 10 hours of waiting, but alas, i got nothing.

Thanks for the response PPN. Right now my vB is offline, but the ftp seems to still work.. strange, anyway, i had previously updated everything in attempt to fix it, and just now i re-modified functions.php and i'll let you know how it turns out when my site comes back online. thanks.

above that add the following

PHP Code:

$forum['lasttitle']=unhtmlspecialchars($forum['lasttitle']);

if the length is over 30, remove everything after 28 characters and add two dots to the end.

Hope this helps, instruction file now updated.

Doesn't seem to work for Opera... Any ideas?

within index.php and forumdisplay.php look for the follow lines which you added.

PHP Code:

if (strlen($forum['lasttitle']) > 30) { $forum['lasttitle'] = substr($forum['lasttitle'], 0, 28); $forum['lasttitle'] .= '..'; }

above that add the following

PHP Code:

$forum['lasttitle']=unhtmlspecialchars($forum['lasttitle']);

this should solve the problem with the characters not being converted.

Also the decision on length is made by the top code a quick explanation is, if the length is over 30, remove everything after 28 characters and add two dots to the end.

Hope this helps, instruction file now updated.

This does not seem to work for Opera - any ideas?

(The text limiting I mean - Opera users get a big long line of text...)

you can change

PHP Code:


			
$trueperm['canview'] = $forumperms['canview'];

change the $forumperms['canview']; to whatever sort of permission you want.

such as
canview, canpostnew, canviewothers, canreplyothers, canreplyown
