Remove Posting Redirection (like vB3)

Hack: Remove posting redirection.

By: Anime-loo

Current Version:
Pre Release: [high]1.2pr 1[/high]
Stable: [high]1.1[/high]

[high]What dose this do?[/high]

This hack will removed the redirection pages that apper after posting a reply/thread. Insted of seeing a "Thanks for posting, we are now sending you to..." message before a user is sent to their post, they are sent directly to it. On 56k ive noticed a big improvement in speed.

[high]Latest news:[/high]

12 - 26 - 2003:

Version 1.2 pre release 1 released, this version answers the request(s) of many that are using this hack. That is no redirection screens after editing a post or deleting it.

If you are using 1.1 you can upgrade to 1.2pr 1 via the second attachment in this post. At this time there is no install file for 1.2 pr 1, install 1.1 then upgrade.

[high]Modification info:[/high]

5 ([high]8 for 1.2 pr 1[/high]) file edits
(files: newreply.php, newthread.php, poll.php, editpost.php ([high]1.2 pr 1 only[/high]))

great hack....only one problem i encountered....

this hack code interferes with Xenon's Prevent Double Posting hack found Here

any help? if needed, i'll post my code up:P

[Brad]

Xenon's Prevent Double Posting hack fix:

----------------------------
Open newreply.php
----------------------------

Find:

PHP Code:

if ($visible) {
            $goto = "showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=" . $lastpost['postid'] . "#post" . $lastpost['postid'];
              } else {
            $goto = "forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$threadinfo[forumid]";
              }
              eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_postthanks")."\",\"$goto\");");
              exit;     
      } 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

if ($visible) {
            $goto = "showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&goto=lastpost&threadid=$threadid";
              } else {
            $goto = "forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$threadinfo[forumid]";
              }
              @header ("Location: $goto");
              exit;     
      } 


// Dev note - if user has double posted he had the last post in thread anyway. Showthread link was changed because of this.

will this affect the way vbulletin performs? Why would the developers add the posting redirection if it wasn't required somehow? plz let me know cuz i'd like to install this

Glad to hear it works!


Just tried installing it but my code is much different...

your code says to find:

[code]// redirect
if ($prevpost[visible]) {
$goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";
} else {
$goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forumid";
}
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_p ostthanks")."\",\"$goto\");");[/quote]

But My code looks like this:

// redirect
      if ($visible) {
        $goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";
      } else {
        $goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$threadinfo[forumid]";
      }
      if ($closeopen) {
        if (!ismoderator($threadinfo[forumid],'canopenclose')) {
          $permissions=getpermissions($threadinfo[forumid]);
          if (!$permissions[canview] or !$permissions[canopenclose]) {
            show_nopermission();
          } else {
            $firstpostinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid FROM post WHERE threadid='$threadid' ORDER BY dateline LIMIT 1");
            if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=$firstpostinfo[userid]) {
              show_nopermission();
            }
          }
        }

        updateuserforum($threadinfo[forumid]);

        if ($threadinfo[open]) {
          $threadinfo[open]=0;
          $action='closed';
        } else {
          $threadinfo[open]=1;
          $action='opened';
        }

        $threadinfo[notes]="Thread $action by $bbuserinfo[username] on ".vbdate($dateformat." ".$timeformat,time()).". $threadinfo[notes]";
        $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET open=$threadinfo[open],notes='".addslashes($threadinfo[notes])."' WHERE threadid='$threadid'");

        eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_openclose")."\",\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid\");");

I haven't done any mods that I can think of that would change the code in this area..?

[Brad]

Looks like you installed the open/close checkbox option for mods and admins.

At any rate the code block you gave me is incomplete so I cant give you a fix. Link me to the hack you have installed (so I can add it to the issues list and make a fix) or give me the compleate block (from // redirect to where redirect_postthanks is evaled) and ill provide you with a fix.

[MindTrix]

**claps hands** amazing :> I h8 that loading page (cause i got 56k) so sometimes ur starin at it for agessss.

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu

**clicks install loadsss of times **

[gwhooooey]

You wouldn't have to edit anything else if you're using quick reply would you?

[Brad]

Nope, the hack works perfectly with the quick reply box.

[MetaRidley]

I'm having problems, both newreply and newthread are giving parse errors. Maybe it's related to that missing semicolon?
Edit: Figured it out.

[Alien]

Excellent job, it works perfectly for me!

I look forward to your editpost modification!
