DLWebmaestro Member Registered: 08/08/00 Posts: 1753 Loc: California, MD	You're saying that the option to add a topic notice is there, but that's not how you have the code, correct?<br /><br />Also, should I change 'BodyART' to 'Body' since I'm not using articles? _________________________ Webmaster Drumlines.org Drumlines.org UBBThreads

id242_dup1 Member Registered: 05/23/03 Posts: 159	if you are not using articles, just replace "$postrow[$i]['Body'] = ($Body);" with the two larger code snippets i've written above <br /> <br />both code snippets are different... the first one handles TOPICS and the second one does REPLIES <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Check - "if (!$btopic)" to see the main difference ( ! = NOT.... meaning, NOT TOPIC... aka, is REPLY) <br /> <br />Sorry, Im sure you deal with ALOT of kids on your site and need to explain things in detail - please do not mistake my detail as talking down to you, because it is in no way is that my intention - I too deal with alot of people on my site that requier detailed answers - so It just comes naturaly for me to try to cover all the details in one reply <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

DLWebmaestro Member Registered: 08/08/00 Posts: 1753 Loc: California, MD	Here's some better code for the reply notice <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br /> Code: <br />$postrow[$i]['Body'] = "...To view this comment/reply, please <a href=\"{$config['phpurl']}/newuser.php\" /><U>Register</U></a> for a new account.<BR> Or if you already have an account with us, <a href=\"{$config['phpurl']}/login.php\" /><U>Login</U></a> now.</B>"; _________________________ Webmaster Drumlines.org Drumlines.org UBBThreads

DLWebmaestro Member Registered: 08/08/00 Posts: 1753 Loc: California, MD	And no offense taken. Details are good. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I have put this up on my site for now so you can check it out if you want. Some people might prefer that there only be one reply that states there are X amount of replies to this post...to read them...bla bla bla. Of course, this probably requires some difficult coding. _________________________ Webmaster Drumlines.org Drumlines.org UBBThreads

id242_dup1 Member Registered: 05/23/03 Posts: 159	the code for "NUMBER OF REPLIES" can be ripped from the SHOWFLAT.php - and stuck into the first bit of code that was posted above.

I have added the ability to have it do this for select forums. Just replace A, B, and/or C with the keywords for the forums that you want to limit. You can use as many or as little as you like. Or, if you want to list the forums that you want it to NOT limit, replace == with !=.... I think. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />

Code:

 <br />   if ((!$btopic) &amp;&amp; (($Board == 'A') || ($Board == 'B') || $Board == 'C'))) { <br />		if ( ($user['U_Status'] == "Administrator") || ($user['U_Status'] == "Moderator") || ($user['U_Status'] == "Users") ) { <br />		// Show Entire Message <br />			$postrow[$i]['Body'] = ($Body); <br />		// Replace replies with 'Please Register/Login' text <br />			} else { <br />					$postrow[$i]['Body'] = "To view this comment/reply, please &lt;a href=\"{$config['phpurl']}/newuser.php\" /&gt;&lt;U&gt;Register&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for a new account.&lt;BR&gt; Or if you already have an account with us, &lt;a href=\"{$config['phpurl']}/login.php\" /&gt;&lt;U&gt;Login&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/a&gt; now.&lt;/B&gt;"; <br />			} <br />	} else { <br />	$postrow[$i]['Body'] = ($Body); <br />   } <br />

id242_dup1 Member Registered: 05/23/03 Posts: 159	You could even take things a step further and add the following to your "Config Settings" box at the bottom of the administrator's page...<br /> Code: $config['articleboards'] = 'ubb15,ubb16,ubb17,ubb18,ubb19,ubb10,feat1,'; <br /><br />and then include "$Board == stristr(",{$config['articleboards']},", ",$Board,") instead of listing each board in the file - rather than having the edit the file each time you add new boards, just add the boards to your admin config options page<br /><br />(my usage of "stristr" should be correct - if not, I think that "SUBST($config['articleboards'])" might also do the trick - i might be getting EXCEL and PHP commands mixed???)

DLWebmaestro Member Registered: 08/08/00 Posts: 1753 Loc: California, MD	There may be a slight misspelling in the mod code. My user group is 'User', not 'Users'. I am pretty sure this is the default. I was getting PMs left and right from users saying they were getting the register posts. _________________________ Webmaster Drumlines.org Drumlines.org UBBThreads

[/] <br /> <br />intresting.... because I got the exact same response from my users for the past few hours, as you had - but I looked in my DB and thought this was correct (I guess I should have looked at the actual code, rather than whats displayed in the DB <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> .... this looks like a confusing bug from infopop in the 6.2x version of threads?) <br /> <br />Good find! - I just switched "Users" to "User" and things work like how they should!

JoshPet I type Like navaho Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 11330 Loc: Charlotte, NC	yes - U_Groups and User U_Status are entirely different things. The status is used for access to admin/moderator only stuff... and groups are used for forum access.... read/write permissions and such. _________________________ Joshua Pettit www.JoshuaPettit.com My abilities are for hire.

And I definately see your confusion there. But you have tackled and accomplished something cool.

Deejay_dup1 Journeyman Registered: 08/25/02 Posts: 106	Just wondering if you have had time to write this up as a official mod??? I am VERY interested in getting this going on my site... I have tons of guest users, that I wish would register.<br /><br />I tried to read through this thread, but seems a lot of hacking, and its a bit rough to follow.<br /><br />Can we get a step by step mod done up? That would be awesome. You are right in your first post... There are a lot of users who would like this mod! Its exactly what I was looking for.
