Global Threads for VB4
Version: 2.02, by BirdOPrey5 (Senior Member) BirdOPrey5 is offline
Developer Last Online: Aug 2023 Show Printable Version Email this Page

Category: Forum Display Enhancements - Version: 4.x.x Rating:
Released: 01-30-2011 Last Update: 02-01-2011 Installs: 113
Auto-Templates
Is in Beta Stage  
No support by the author.

This mod is based off a VB 3.6 mod by randominity here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=129626
He gave me permission to further develop this mod.

This mod allows you to display "global threads" in your forums. Global Threads are threads that show up in every forum (or forums you specify) as opposed to just a single forum.

This is perfect for important site news, forum wide polls, and anything worthwhile to be displayed forum wide.

New Version: 2.02 - Fixed a conflict with the "Thread Links" mod.
New Version: 2.01 - 1 Bug Fix, +1 Extra Option (Choose to display above or below sticky divider if you have one.)

I know you could make an announcement but people ignore announcements, and you can't reply to them like threads. These are real threads and if you don't take away permission people can reply to it like any other thread. Replies in any forum show up in all forums.

Same thread in multiple forums: (VB3 Version)
http://www.juot.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=48
http://www.juot.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=43
http://www.juot.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=20
(It's under the sticky threads.)

This mod requires a little work on your side- you must first create a "global forum." I suggest calling it "Global Forum" and in the forum manager when creating it, choose to "Set Active" set to "No" so it won't show up in your forum lists but will be accessible directly by you to post new threads in.

I have greatly increased the number of options over the original mod and believe I have implemented all the good suggestions ever made for the original mod.

This version won't work on any vBulletin version less than 4.0.0.

I have marked this as BETA as there is 1 unresolved minor bug- it has been a bug since this mod came out but no one seems to have noticed or cared. When showing global threads the small arrow indicating if you had posts in the global thread won't snow.

See screenshots for a Global Thread example. The Global Thread globe icon is optional.

Full instructions in zip file.

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.

Note: See post #95 for info on how to fix this mod for VB 4.1.7.

See post #126 for an updated threadbit_global template for VB Versions 4.1.10 and above.

Note- I have released a new and better global thread mod and will no longer be supporting this version.

Any known issues in 4.1.4?
I just finally got it installed on 4.1.4 and it's working as expected- looks fine. Not sure what's up with first new post, will look into it- but the guy who posted the screenshot where it has lost all formatting- I don't know what the problem was for him but in general it works fine in 4.1.4.

Does it go to the last post now?

Edit: saw you're working on that, I thought you meant something else at first.

I'm gonna love this when that one bug's fixed.

Do new replies go into moderation on Global threads?

It will follow whatever moderation rules you set for your Global Thread forum.

I forgot about that, it's not happening now.

Have you noticed that it doesn't show view and replies counts in the forums the thread is in?

Hi Joe, after upgrading to 4.1.5 whenever I attempt to go into my one global thread I get this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3508075 bytes) in /home/thebull/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php(7139) : eval()'d code on line 73

Going into my other global thread works fine. So this really baffles my mind. Thanks.

That doesn't look like an error from this mod- if you want to confirm disable the mod and refresh the page, if the error still occurs it's not the mod.

This error usually happens why disk-space is low on your mysql server. How big was the thread?

If possible, please modify the code such that we can specify different several global forums for different forum.

I need to have threads of a subforum to be mirrored in another subforum. Same for several other subforums.

thanks
