However, the problem is that the following menu items tapes our the forum out of the frame.
Admin | Main Index | Search | My Home | Who's Online | FAQ | Logout | User List | Mark all read
Is there a "target=_parent" reference somewhere in the code, and where can I find this, so that the above menu will just click on, without coming out of the frame.
You can adjust the menu bar links in 2 template files... ubbt_registerednav.tmpl and ubbt_unregisterednav.tmpl
You'll note a $target variable there in the links... which is defined in the ubbt.inc.php file so that when you are in the admin section (using frames) it gets set to target top.
You could play with hardcoding them in the templates... or in the ubbt.inc.php file.... look for:
Look for the place that it says <pre> $target=""; </pre> and you might try changing it to: <pre> $target="target=\"_parent\""; </pre> and see if that helps you. That should still allow it to function correctly in the admin screens. Backup those files before you tweak them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
The Threads colum can be removed from the ubbthreads.tmpl file... I think you'll need to remove or comment out this: <pre> <td align="center" width="9%"> {$ubbt_lang['THREAD_TEXT']} </td> </pre> as well as: <pre> <td align="center" class"threadtotal" nowrap="nowrap"> {$forum[$c][$f]['Threads']} {$forum[$c][$f]['showthreads']} </td> </pre> Again... untested.... so backup the template first.
And you can also remove the member total from the ubbthreads.tmpl file too...
That should do it for you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Power to the templates. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
Many thanks for the feedback as we get used to the new system...
Another question is:
Within each message, the Graemlins now are Not showing. Is there some different way of classification that we have to enable images to show within each post?
For example,
Hi 90%Attitude, Yes, we agree about the colour! We couldn't find a nice purply-template that would match our colours, so we're "slowly" going through the coding.
Thanks for your patience and feedback! ::
It shows the thumbsup code, but no graemlin? Tried taking code from original ubb classic?
Is there some way to increase the length of time for showing "Who's Online" -- e.g., 30 minutes, 45 minutes?
In the admin area, editing the Graemlins is not as easy as in classic -- seem to have to go through each graemlin instead of being able to select multiple and edit in a list.
I missed a question. JC has posted instructions here on increasing the Who's Online time limit. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

As per teaching your members how to customize the "look" (number of posts per page etc..) you may wish to post this document for them on your site. It's a how to/guide to customizing the 'look' of the site.
You need to login/register at thtreadsdev to see it, but then feel free to copy/paste to your own site. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="">quote:</font><hr /><font size="" face="">Originally posted by J.C.: 1) replace $target with target="name" (replace name with whatever your frame uses.)
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="" face="">Thanks for your help!
Just wanted to double check, as not sure what this means ... "replace with whatever your frame uses" -- my frame doesn't use anything, other than to put http://www.dancescape.com//ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat= on the right side of the frame (our regular menu is on the left side)
If you are running your site within frames.... then you'd put the name of the frame that you want the link to open in.
The target variable is set to *top* when you go into the admin section (which uses frames) so that when you click a menubar link...rather than opening in it's current frame (which would load it in the little tiny part at the top of the screen) it gets set to target="_top" which causes it to "break out" of the frames and use the whole screen again.
Running threads inside of a frame is pretty tricky. Frames aren't good practice these days anyway. Some browsers behave funny, and search engines don't like framed pages.
Good luck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
Based on the instructions above, target="http://www.dancescape.tv/content/interact.asp", where http://www.dancescape.tv/content/interact.asp is the frame which I wish the "Who's On" link to remain inside
******************** For anyone interested... as Josh mentioned, in the ubbt.inc.php file, searched for all occurrences for $target=""; (only 2) and replaced as follows...
Next challenge ... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
MOVING THREADS: In ubb classic, when logged in as Administrator, it was possible to move threads using a simple link/button option.
However, can't find this feature in UBB threads? For each topic/thread, can't find the move. How do we do this?
The other is "Active Threads" -- currently there is the Past 24 hours, Past 48 hours, Past 7 days, etc. -- but is there some way to have the most popular thread titles appear, and not just posts?
Thanks so much for all the help and everyone's patience!
Here is another question -- if we don't want emails to show (so that members can only private message each other), how do we deactivate? In ubb classic, was able to do that but can't seem to find this in threads, which would have thought would be in the Config Settings/User settings area.

Hello, Could you please clarify and provide more directions -- how do we use the Query?
Thanks!

As Dave_L said, in Threads there are 2 email fields when a user edits their profile.
"Administrative purposes" is only seen by Admins and used by the system to mail lost passwords etc....
"Displayed on Posts" is actually the email that's displayed in thir profile that regular users can see.
Users can renter the "email displayed on posts" in their profile.
So anyone who wants to display it, can do so simply by adding the email address into their profile. If they don't want to display it, they simply don't fill it in. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
For the "Last post" column at www.dancescape.com/mydancefriends -- how do we increase the number of characters so that the post subject header displays more fully ... e.g., for each header, seems to truncate differently -- there is a lot of column space in the "Last Post".
There's probably not an easy way to increase the number of characters shown. That would be some hacking in the ubbthreads.php script. More likely a question for www.threadsdev.com if modifing your code doesn't bother you... it probably could be done.
As per "posts deleted by" Well... you can't really.
In threads.... because there is also a "threaded mode" instead of just a "flat" mode (like Classic) you can't take a post out of the middle IF IT HAS REPLIES without "breaking" the thread. So if there a No Replies to the post...then it will delete without a trace. If it has replies it will have to leave a placeholder. If you are deleting more than one post.. the trick is to start with the oldest...so that you are always deleting a post that doesn't have any replies to it. (If you click "threaded" at the top, it's a little easier to tell what posts have replies by the way it's indented).
Again, if you don't mind modifing your code... I wrote a modification for a client which allows you to delete without leaving a trace...I posted it at www.threadsdev.com. I think it's called "delete without traces". What it does, it reassignes replies made to the post you are deleting to another post. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
Our users are trying to find the option to deactivate the Ratings -- can't seem to find anywhere in their Edit/Profile (My Home) area. Went through our own administration area and couldn't seem to find.
Is there some way for users to deactivate their Ratings from showing in ubb-threads?
There's an option in Admin -> Config settings (or maybe Threme settings) to turn off User ratings. Turning off thread ratings requires editing some templates.
its easy to do and there is no need to enter the admin menu. Simply click on EDIT on a thread you want to move and on the bottom you can see different options and also a MOVE THREAD buttin <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
On threadsdev.com there is also a MASS MOVE Hack available which can be used to move massed of threads to another forum. Its easy to implement and I hope it will be standart in one of the next releases

Is there a way to choose NOT to see a forum in my bookmarked (recent posts) view? I have this nightmarish vision of singles posts cluttering the screen. Just the sample listings now are annoying, once you get past the novelty stage. How can I do that? I looked through My Home and didn't find that option in the display section.
They could add the forums they want to view to their favorites...then view only their favorite forums on the main index.... but that's about all I can think of. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
