Show Thread Enhancements - Find My Posts In A Thread

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.


What Does This Hack Do?[hr]Silver[/hr]
It is a update of my v3.8.x hack available here, designed to work with vBulletin v4.0.x.

This is a hack that adds an extra option on the Search this Thread drop down list on the first post of a thread (along with all the other thread tools) which allows your members to search for their own posts within a thread they have posted in, just like here at vb.org.

As an added bonus (thanks to Michelle for the idea), unlike the version here at vb.org, you have the option to check if a user has posts in the thread they are in and not display the link to users who do not have posts (why show the link if there will be no search results?). Please note, if this option is enabled for a usergroup, it will add 1 query when a user from that usergroup is viewing a thread.

There are no file or template changes at all, and is fully phrased.

DEMO: Click on the Search this Thread or Search this Mod drop down list and select Find My Posts in any thread you have posted in to see it in action.


vBulletin Version Compatibility[hr]Silver[/hr]
This hack can be used with vBulletin versions 4.0.0 - 4.2.0.

For the v3.8.x version of this hack, which will also work with v3.7.x and v3.6.x - check here.

Good works.

But could you explain this point, because I didn't understand.

In the Usergroup Manager edit the usergroup(s) you want:

* To see the link (disabled by default for all usergroups).
* To check to see if they have posts in that thread (disabled by default for all usergroups).

Thanks.

Same problem.

For some reason it's no longer hooking ..
I just added it to the template..
only thing is that all user group have access to it..

no big dea,l why have a addon if all can't benefit from it

in the showthread template
I added this

PHP Code:

 <div class="advancedsearchlink"><a href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=finduser&amp;search_type=1&amp;searchthreadid={vb:raw threadid}&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post&amp;userid={vb:raw bbuserinfo.userid}&amp;showposts=1">{vb:rawphrase ms_find_my_posts}</a><br /> 


above this

PHP Code:

<a href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}search_type=1&amp;searchthreadid={vb:raw thread.threadid}&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase advanced_search}</a></div> 


so it looks like this

PHP Code:

 <div class="advancedsearchlink"><a href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=finduser&amp;search_type=1&amp;searchthreadid={vb:raw threadid}&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post&amp;userid={vb:raw bbuserinfo.userid}&amp;showposts=1">{vb:rawphrase ms_find_my_posts}</a><br /><a href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}search_type=1&amp;searchthreadid={vb:raw thread.threadid}&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase advanced_search}</a></div>
