UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support Different Topic Titles on Forum Listing Page

How can I make it so the topic name on the forums listing page actually shows the real topic name and not the topic a user has entered into their post within the thread? a lot of users are finding this confusing, then later annoying.

Not currently possible without modification. Tis the nature currently of a threaded message board.

Make the subject box hidden in the reply form.

Change this:

<input type="text" name="Subject" maxlength="{$config['subjectlength']}" class="formboxes" size="60" value="$Subject" /><br />


To:


<input type="hidden" name="Subject" maxlength="{$config['subjectlength']}" class="formboxes" size="60" value="$Subject" /><br />


This way they cannot change it.

If you go that route, you also need to address the addpost preview page and prohibit it being changed there as well, but only if it's a reply.

Depending on how strict you want to be about it, you might also need to do the same to the editpost.tmpl <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
