Remove Posting Redirection (like vB3)

Hack: Remove posting redirection.

By: Anime-loo

Current Version:
Pre Release: [high]1.2pr 1[/high]
Stable: [high]1.1[/high]

[high]What dose this do?[/high]

This hack will removed the redirection pages that apper after posting a reply/thread. Insted of seeing a "Thanks for posting, we are now sending you to..." message before a user is sent to their post, they are sent directly to it. On 56k ive noticed a big improvement in speed.

12 - 26 - 2003:

Version 1.2 pre release 1 released, this version answers the request(s) of many that are using this hack. That is no redirection screens after editing a post or deleting it.

If you are using 1.1 you can upgrade to 1.2pr 1 via the second attachment in this post. At this time there is no install file for 1.2 pr 1, install 1.1 then upgrade.

same question...

[Brad]

Why would the developers add the posting redirection if it wasn't required somehow?

Mostly to let the user know whats going on, and to pass some important info to the url.

I found a way of getting the url without the extra pageload (redirection).

I have it running on my board and the members are loving it. The only change im seeing in performance is a big speed up on the users end when it comes to posting.

glad to see you got this working. I think I'm going to check it out

[Kurayami]

Interesting... I'm definitely giving this a try! *Whaps Install*

[Erwin]

I use a different version, but nice work getting the URL variable to be passed.

vB3 doesn't have redirection pages either. It's not needed. I haven't had them for over a year with no problems.

[Brad]

Thanks Erwin, ive been trying to do this for awhile and never found a 'working' hack for it. If you dont mind can you pm me a link to your forums, i know its a private url you dont give out but ive been wanting to see it for ages cause it sounds like youve done alot of work there .

Lovely!!!!!

/me licks install!!

[Areku]

Uh oh

I think I never hacked the redirection stuff, but I only got these in vb 2.2.0:

// redirect
if ($prevpost[visible]) {
$goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";
} else {
$goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forumid";
}
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_p ostthanks")."\",\"$goto\");");

AND

// redirect
if ($visible && !$returntowhere) {
$goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";
} else {
if ($returntowhere=="forumhome") {
$goto="index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]";
} elseif ($returntowhere=="thread") {
$goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";
} else {
$goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$threadinfo[forumid]";
}
}
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_p ostthanks")."\",\"$goto\");");

1st is fine but second does not match...

ideas?
