Support for forums in send-to-friend

Hey, this is my first hack, so if I'm doing anything wrong, please let me know.

This hack was requested by theflow.

Instructions:


A demo can be found on our forums:
http://forum.t-cove.com/
Just goto a forum.

Please feedback!!!

Doesn't work for me. If I go to one of your Forums and press the "email this page to someone" link at the bottom, I get a "No thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster" message.

Likewise.

Same here. Thanks for trying, Firefly...

I went to: http://forum.t-cove.com/forumdisplay.php?&forumid=21

Clicked "Email This Page to Someone!" (bottom of page)

and got error message:
http://forum.t-cove.com/sendtofriend.php?&threadid=

fyi, here's my 7-30-01 "How do I..." thread on this same subject:

Don't give up just yet.
It worked for me on my test forum, but I think I forgot something...

I'll work on it.

[Admin]

Ok, I fixed it.
Re-do steps 2 and 3.

Go here for a demo.

That's the ticket... ****in' A it works great. I just emailed myself and checked it... sure enough, returned me to the threadlist page! Good job! Tomorrow I will find out how to do it... I am crashing right now....

Good work. However, you don't use the vB colors in the template.

[Admin]

Thanks!

The problem with the colors was that when I wrote { firstaltcolor } the system replaced it with the actualy color for these forums. But I fixed it. Thanks for that too.

Firefly, I have not yet upgraded from 2.01 to 2.03. But will be doing so shortly. Nevertheless, when I asked a friend to implement your great hack for me, she said:

he references changing a file called online.php which is nowhere to be found on theflow website - could this be a file that was created in a newer release of vbulletin? I can't find that snippet of code in any files that we have.

Can you supply a tweek to your code based on the 2.01 release, or is that too difficult since you are not running it anymore?

[Admin]

If you do not use v2.0.2 or higher, you will not have online.php.
But the changes done to online.php are very very minor, and have absolutely no influence on the sent-to-friend functionality. You can safely install this hack, and skip step 2.

EDIT:
Just so you understand. The changes in online.php are done to make it so that when a user is on the new page, it won't show a "Unknown location" message, but a "Sending a page to friend" message. Since you don't use online.php, there's no need in this.

What does this hack do?

[Admin]

LuBi:
Know that link, "Email This Page to Someone!" at the bottom of every thread?
Well this hack lets you also add this link to the bottom of every forum, to send the forum page to someone else.

Thanks, great hack.
