Threaded Forum Views (Version 2.0)
This Modification is based on Threaded Forum Views (Version 1.8) for vBulletin 3.0.
Version 2.0 should function the same as the previous version. If you notice any quirks or problems please post them here. I took a couple different approaches in outlining the Modifications from the original as well.
-----
Threaded Forum Views will allow the user to display an individual forum or search results in a fully threaded manner. To enable this support the user selects Enable from the new Threaded Forum Views section within Edit Options in the User CP. In addition to the Enable/Disable setting the user may also select Compact or Expanded modes as well as the number of characters to be displayed in the thread/post titles.
Features:
Functionality controlled via the Users CP.
Supports 2 display modes. Single line or Dual line.
Supports variable title lengths.
Works with the display of forums and search results.
Indicates which posts have been read and which are new.
Indicates which posts have attachments.
Handles Sticky posts - limits the thread to the opening post.
Displayed results may be sorted using the existing tools provided by forumdisplay.php
Tested with vBulletin 3.5.1
Caveats:
Some of the Administrator functions (such as thread maintenance on deleted threads) are not available while in this mode. While doing administrative tasks the Admin should disable Threaded Forum Views.
Feedback & Support:
If you have any problems or questions please post them here.
Miscellaneous:
Line numbers have been added, which correspond 'approximatly' to where an item can be found. Line Numbers are based upon previous editions, so the line number listed in step 2, will be based upon the idea that step 1 has already been compleeted. Do Note these are approximate line numbers to help find certaion locations within the code, don't blindly use them for insertions.
To update existing users it is necessary to manually run an UPDATE query. I used
UPDATE userfield SET field5='Enable',field6='Compact',field7='30' where field5='';
to set the default values.
Also, a new field has been added to the search parameters. Because of this it is neccessary to erase the existing cached searches. This can be done using the following query
delete from search;
Instructions for making the necessary modifications to the files and templates are attached as are the 5 new graphics in the ZIP file.
