UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Version 7 Support Reading a Post, log in, it reverts back to that Post.

Can the UBB software be configured to do this.

Your not logged in.
Your reading a post, you decide to reply to the post that your reading, you log in, after you log in, the software reverts you back to the post that you have been reading.
Rather than to the forum list page.

Thanks,

That is a good one.
the methodology is not quite correct.
But I get it.
You read a post as a guest. Then decide to reply as a user.
Then the software rolls you over the the summary. then you need to find the post again.
I don't see any way to circumvent it with the current version!

Another revision change request?

Its possible and simple to do.

In templates/default/showflat.tpl

at line 8 and line 222, FIND:

REPLACE WITH:

done

Now, when someone who is not logged in clicks the reply button, they will be brought to a "UBB Message" page that says they dont have access to reply here, and that they need to log in. Once logged in from there, they will be brought back to that post.

Very good hack!
Will that work with quick reply also.
And what if the guest has read only access.

If you have Quick Reply turned on, the user who is not logged in, will not see the Quick Reply box.

If they only have read only access or are not logged in, they will see,



After entering their login information, they will be taken to the post reply page for the post they were just viewing.

On one install where I've made quite a few customizations, I've modified the language file to instead say,

Control Panel > Languages > Language Editor
Select language file: newreply.php
Click: GO
Modify: READ_PERM

-OR-

Just edit the file directly: languages/default/newreply.php
$ubbt_lang['READ_PERM'] = "You have read-only privileges for this forum.";

In the past,
I would log in, then after being sent to the forums list page.
I then would click the browser back button a couple times to get back to the post I was reading. Refresh that page, after refreshing it now shows I'm logged in.
I then could reply.

What do you feel the difficulty level is, to do what you described in the previous post?

Thanks for info,

the difficulty of the first thing I listed is probably a 1 on a scale of 10.

Control Panel > Templates
SELECT: showflat.tpl
CLICK: Edit Selected Template
FIND: the "FIND" code I quoted
REPLACE: the "REPLACE WITH" code I quoted
CLICK: Update

Profit!

The second thing I listed, also a 1 on a scale of 10. I've already listed the step-by-step directions in that post.

Great, I'll pass it along.
Thanks for the help
