Last / Next Thread Name in thread view

Showing in thread view the last thread name and next thread name instead of "last thread" and "next thread".

Advantage:
-I know before whether the thread is interesting for me.
-The link to the thread isn't shown, if there is not any next or last thread.
-Additional information possible (for example thread starter, views etc.).

Disadvantage:
- The previous thread isn't the previous thread any more, if somebody writes into this in the meantime :nervous:

See the screenshot for more informations.

Ups. Have forgotten the code

Search in showthread.php for:

if ($goto=="nextnewest") {
  $thread = verifyid("thread",$threadid,1,1);
  if ($getnextnewest=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT threadid
            FROM thread
            WHERE forumid='$thread[forumid]'
              AND lastpost>'$thread[lastpost]'
              AND visible=1
              AND open<>10
            ORDER BY lastpost LIMIT 1")) {
    $threadid=$getnextnewest[threadid];
    unset ($thread);
  } else {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nonextnewest")."\");");
  }
}

if ($goto=="nextoldest") {
  $thread = verifyid("thread",$threadid,1,1);
	if ($getnextoldest=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT threadid
			FROM thread
			WHERE forumid='$thread[forumid]'
				AND lastpost<'$thread[lastpost]'
				AND visible=1
				AND open<>10
			ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT 1")) {
		$threadid=$getnextoldest[threadid];
    unset ($thread);
	} else {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nonextoldest")."\");");
	}
}

and replace with:

if ($nextthread=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT threadid,title,views,replycount,postusername FROM thread WHERE forumid='$thread[forumid]' AND lastpost>'$thread[lastpost]' AND visible=1 AND open<>10 ORDER BY lastpost LIMIT 1")) {$nextthr=$nextthread[title]; if(strlen($nextthr)>45) $nextthr=substr($nextthr,0,42)."...";}
if ($lastthread=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT threadid,title,views,replycount,postusername FROM thread WHERE forumid='$thread[forumid]' AND lastpost<'$thread[lastpost]' AND visible=1 AND open<>10 ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT 1")) {$lastthr=$lastthread[title]; if(strlen($lastthr)>45) $lastthr=substr($lastthr,0,42)."...";}
$nextlastthread="<table><tr>".iif($lastthr!="","<td align='right'><smallfont><a href='showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$lastthread[threadid]'><b>&laquo; Previous Thread</b><br>$lastthr<br>$lastthread[views] Views, $lastthread[replycount] Replys, Starter: $lastthread[postusername]</a></smallfont></td>","")."<td>&nbsp;</td>".iif($nextthr!="","<td><smallfont><a href='showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$nextthread[threadid]'><b>Next Thread &raquo;</b><br>$nextthr<br>$nextthread[views] Views, $nextthread[replycount] Replys,  Starter: $lastthread[postusername]</a></smallfont></td>","")."</tr></table>"

search in template showthread for:

<smallfont>
	<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/prev.gif" alt="" border="0">
	<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextoldest">Last Thread</a>
	&nbsp;
	<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextnewest">Next Thread</a>
	<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/next.gif" alt="" border="0">
	</smallfont>

and replace with:

$nextlastthread

i was sure you want to post the code in the next post
A tip for the next version:
Don't make the Design hardcoded as you made here, would be better if you can set own designs in a template

[bad_madman]

Hmm. Right. Thx for the tip. I always make this to my Hacks actually, too

Nice

I will probably only use the title of the thread though, that extra information seems to make it look cluttered.

[BigJohnson]

Can someone make it so it uses a template instead of being so hard coded because i have different styles and I have different pics for each style for the next and previous buttons. Thanks. That would really really help.

i'm not the creator of it, and i think he'll do it more comfortable hisself, but you can do this:

replace

PHP Code:

$nextlastthread="<table><tr>".iif($lastthr!="","<td align='right'><smallfont><a href='showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$lastthread[threadid]'><b>? Previous Thread</b><br>$lastthr<br>$lastthread[views] Views, $lastthread[replycount] Replys, Starter: $lastthread[postusername]</a></smallfont></td>","")."<td> </td>".iif($nextthr!="","<td><smallfont><a href='showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$nextthread[threadid]'><b>Next Thread ?</b><br>$nextthr<br>$nextthread[views] Views, $nextthread[replycount] Replys,  Starter: $lastthread[postusername]</a></smallfont></td>","")."</tr></table>" 


with this:

PHP Code:

eval("\$nextlastthread = \"".gettemplate("nextlastthread")."\";"); 


then create the template nextlastthread and put in the infos you want , like $lastthread[postusername] or whatever

[padblaz]
