Sequential thread links

[Vintum]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows of the possibility, or even an existing modification that allows the linking of threads within a subforum in a specific order. Maybe the order they were posted in.

Good example: http://i.imgur.com/2ocOlVW.png?1
Perfect example: http://i.imgur.com/GtmQygc.png?1

Or, if anyone knows what kind of html code I'd have to paste in each thread, I think that could work too.

(I forget, vbulletin does allow the option to have only an admin be able to post html in a thread, right?)

Thanks.

Login to your admincp and go to Settings > Options > Thread Display Options (showthread) - then scroll down to find... "Full Next / Prev Links" tick "yes" and then save at the bottom.

Try this plugin for "forumdisplay_query"

$sqlsortfield  = "thread.threadid";
$sqlsortorder = "ASC"; // or "DESC", whichever way you want
$sqlsortfield2 = "";

This will override any previously defined values. Thread id's are in the order of posting time. See forumdisplay.php, line 944

Thanks. That helps with displaying the titles.

This seems like it would affect every thread within the whole forum. Is it possible to make this work only in selected forums/subforums?

if ( in_array( $forum['forumid'], array( 2, 5, 9, 17) ) )
{
        $sqlsortfield  = "thread.threadid";
        $sqlsortorder = "ASC"; // or "DESC", whichever way you want
        $sqlsortfield2 = "";
}
