Facebook App Modification

by sivaganeshk 12 Nov 2012

Here are few modifications I made to vBulletin Facebook App. Hope it helps other users .

Important : Please backup all the files before making any changes.

Feature 1: Last Thread information on Forum Home

Default :

New Look :

Code changes :

1. Open Forums.php

2. Find the code
Code:

Code:

 <?php echo timedisplay($forum['lastpostinfo']['lastposttime']); ?><br/>

3. Replace with

Code:

Code:

<?php  // SG Change 1 ?>
<a  href="<?php echo "https://apps.facebook.com/appname/category_item.php?category=Forum_Threads_".$forum['forumid']."&id=".$forum['lastpostinfo']['lastthreadid']."&goto=newpost"; ?>"><?php echo substr($forum['lastpostinfo']['lastthread'],0,40); ?></a> <br />

replace appname with your facebook app .

P.S: 41 characters of the thread title will be visible. Having more and more characters will look ugly.

Feature 2 : Post "Users reply" in facebook wall instead of Posted a reply on APP NAME

Default :

New Look :

1. Open editor.php

2. Find the code

Code:

Code:

public function wall($title, $message) {
        $opt = array();
        $opt['message'] = $this->wallMessage();
        $opt['link'] = FACEBOOK_CANVAS_URL . $this->redirect; 
        $opt['name'] = ThreadInfo::get($this->thread_id)->getName();
        $opt['caption'] = '';
        $opt['description'] = '';
        $this->send_to_wall($opt);
    }

replace with

Code:

Code:

public function wall($title, $message) {
        $opt = array();
        $opt['message'] = $message;
        $opt['link'] = FACEBOOK_CANVAS_URL . $this->redirect; 
        $opt['name'] = ThreadInfo::get($this->thread_id)->getName();
        $opt['caption'] = '';
        $opt['description'] = $message ;
        $this->send_to_wall($opt);
    }

Feature 3 : View the current thread on Forum Site

1. Open category_item.php

2. Find
Code:

Code:

public function renderItem($category, $id, $page) {
        echo CategoryContentItem::get($category, $id, $page)->getHtml();
    return time() + 3;
    }

3. Replace with

Code:

Code:

public function renderItem($category, $id, $page) {
        echo CategoryContentItem::get($category, $id, $page)->getHtml();
    $threadShowThread =  CategoryContentItem::getRedirect($category, $id, $page);
    echo "<center><b><a href=\"http://collegers.net/{$threadShowThread}\"> View this article on Forum</a><br/> <br/>Similar Threads </b></center><br/>";
        return time() + 3;
    }

Don't forget to change FORUM URL.
