UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Version 7 Support Give users option to enable/disable topic preview?

Is there a way I can give users the ability to enable or disable topic preview in their edit profile page?

yah, with a small modification

1. add a custom field ( there are 5 available )
2. modify scripts/postlist.inc.php to check that field and show / not shop tooltip

This is a far as I've gotten:


But it's not working correctly...

I have gotten the option to appear in My Stuff/Edit Profile, but could you tell me how to modify the postlist.inc.php to refer to that custom function tooltip, so it actually works?

1. You don't need to modify a template at all.
2. Just go into Registration settings / Registration screen and set the Custom field prompt ( example picture below )



I set it to hide and that really just HIDES it only @ registration, but because I fill it in, then it will always now show when they edit their PROFILE.

Then the only modification to do is in scripts/postlist.inc.php

On line 43 ( approx ), add the extra field to the list of fields to retrieve for each user:

"user_fields" => "t2.USER_TOPIC_VIEW_TYPE, t2.USER_TOPICS_PER_PAGE, t2.USER_POSTS_PER_TOPIC,USER_EXTRA_FIELD_1",

Then around line 837 you will see:

change that to this:

this will allow the user to edit their profile and put 1 to enable the tooltip or 0 to not have it.

Then you make the board to always show it by default, but allow users to turn it off in their profile

You're tha man. Thank you very much!!! Or as we say here locally, "Salamat Po"

No problemo

I posted a more detailed explanation over on my blog Clicky Poo for anyone interested
