Is there a mod for Ikonboard-style topic headlines?

[Anguz]

I really meant no offense to you or Anguz...

oh, you didn't offend me, I was worried that I offended you because I didn't understand your code

[old dan]

No problem here either. It's just that as sad as it may be appearences can be important. And you're young, you're not a child.

anyway, the message line thing interests me. ikonboard doesn't. I don't know how they do it but I came up with something that may be totally different. There are no changes to the db and only a couple of changes to messageindex. What it does is display the first line of the post underneath the message title (actually the first 40 characters). So here's the code, if anyone finds it useful great, if not oh well. I will be using it on my new board.

find this

Code Select Expand


      // Begin printing the message index for current board.
      while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
      {
         if ($row['ID_POLL'] != '-1' && $modSettings['pollMode'] == 0)
            continue;
         $lastposter = $row['posterName'];
         $lastPosterID = $row['ID_MEMBER'];
         $mdate = $row['posterTime'];
         $mname = $row['mname'];
         $mid = $row['mid'];
         $msub = $row['msub'];
         $micon=$row['micon'];
         $mnum = $row['ID_TOPIC'];
         $mreplies = $row['numReplies'];
         $mstate = $row['locked'];
         $views = $row['numViews'];
         $isSticky = $row['isSticky'];
         $pollID = $row['ID_POLL'];
         $topicEditedTime = $row['posterTime'];
         $name1 = $row['posterDisplayName'];
         $name2 = $row['firstPosterDisplayName'];


and add after

Code Select Expand


$lastmsgid = $row['ID_LAST_MSG'];
$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT body FROM messages WHERE ID_MSG = '$lastmsgid';") or database_error(__FILE__, __LINE__);
$getline = mysql_fetch_assoc($result2);
$msgbody = $getline['body'];
$subjectline = substr($msgbody, 0, 40);


Next find this

         echo '
            <tr>
               <td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" align="center" width="6%" bgcolor="' . $color['windowbg2'] . '">
                  <img src="' . $imagesdir . '/' . $threadclass . '.gif" alt="" /></td>

Hehe...

So this shows the first 40 chars of the last post in the thread underneath the subject?  Not a bad idea....

Simpler than mine too, heh.
