Version History:
* Occasionally, you may notice a link beying displayed as "-" rather than a thread title. This is normal. This simply means there is no thread which is newer (or older) than the current thread being viewed. This same functionality is in vBulletin by default.
Description:
Replaces the « Previous Thread | Next Thread » links located at the bottom of the SHOWTHREAD output with their respective thread titles. Adds 2 additional queries.
This hack functions exactly like the current links, except now users can see the actual thread titles of the next newest and next oldest thread. Someone said this could(?) help with SEO somewhere along the line. I don't claim to know enough to validate this statement. I developed the hack because it simply provided more information to the user, possibly enticing them to click with a thread title that may peak their interest.
I've also never been fond of the location of these links originally, at the bottom, so I've included an option via the AdminCP where you can opt to relocate the links to the top of the page just below the navbar (see screenshots below).
Installation:
1. Download and import the product-nextprevtitle_v2.1.xml file via the Product Manager.
2. Optionally, you may configure alternate placement via your AdminCP (vBulletin Options > Next/Previous Thread Titles)
3. ???
4. Profit
Version History:
v1.0 - Initial Release
