VBulletin HACK
----Show topic size and open new Window on Forum index page
Author: gogosoft
"Show topic Size"
Reason: 1.1. This feature is not available in version 4, and some users use it as a reference for viewing the topic.
Pros: Just add a few lines of code to it.
Cons: Because each time a forum index page is displayed, all of the topics on the page need to be sized, which can have a number of effects on the server.
Self-Assessment: This is a small function, dispensable, practical or not a matter of opinion.
Steps:
⒈ Open forumdisplay.php, find "
if ($announcement = $DB _site->query_first ("Select Announcementid,userid,startdate,title from Announcement WHERE startdate<= $datenow and enddate>= $datenow and (forumid= $forumid OR forumid=-1) ORDER by StartDate DESC LIMIT 1 ")) {
", add in later"
Hack Thread Size
$size = 0;
$announcements = $DB _site->query ("Select Pagetext from announcement WHERE startdate<= $datenow and enddate>=$ Datenow and (forumid= $forumid OR forumid=-1) ");
while ($announce = $DB _site->fetch_array ($announcements)) $size +=strlen ($announce [Pagetext]);
$size =iif ($size >1024,number_format ($size/1024,1). " K ", $size);
End Hack Thread Size
", find"
while ($thread = $DB _site->fetch_array ($threads)) {
", add in later"
Hack Thread Size
$size = 0;
$posts = $DB _site->query ("Select Pagetext from Post WHERE threadid=". $thread [ThreadID]);
while ($post = $DB _site->fetch_array ($posts)) $size +=strlen ($post [Pagetext]);
$size =iif ($size >1024,number_format ($size/1024,1). " K ", $size);
End Hack Thread Size

"Open new Window"
Why: This is useful for browsing a frequently updated forum where users can easily open up a lot of different topics.
Pros: Very simple, just need to change the template to achieve-it seems to be not too hack. :)
Cons: You can only open a new window on the first page of the topic, and the other pages, or hold down shift.
Step: Edit the template, Control Panel, open Forumdisplaybit, find "
$gotonew $threadtitle
", in the back or in front of the $gotonew ($gotonew is the" new post "icon), add"
"And, of course, you have to prepare a small icon for this connection to open a new window and upload it to the images directory. Complete!
