vBulletin 3 Request - Last post snippet on forumdisplay

[Dr.CustUmz]

I have tried searching numerous terms, I thought there was an addon that showed a portion of the last post on forumdisplay / threadbit.

Does anyone know of anything that exists? so in the last post box it shows a snip of what the last post was.


**Just went ahead and made the plugin since I wasn't finding anything**

Hook location: threadbit_display

plugin code:

PHP Code:

$query = $db->query_first("  
        SELECT pagetext 
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post  
        WHERE post.threadid= $thread[threadid]
        AND post.visible = 1 
        ORDER BY post.dateline DESC 
        LIMIT 1");

$full = $query['pagetext'];

$snip = strlen($full) > 35 ? substr($full,0,35)."..." : $full; 

Place $snip in threadbit where desired, and change both instances of 35 to accommodate the length of characters you want to display.
