UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications [6.4] UBB.Topic Index

Name: UBB.Topic Index

Description: Adds an index of the posts for that page of the thread

Original Author: Rodster

Credits: Brett and AllenAyres (updates and bugfixes)

Link: Text File

Demo: https://ubbdev.com/test/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=001941

Requirement: UBB™ 6.4

Notes: Easy to install, this needs further refinement on the output to get the most out of it. It works in 6.4 and 6.5, should work in 6.3, tho support is only for current versions.

Don't you mean an index of posts? o.O

umm.. what he said

Is there a version of this for 6.2.1? I tried to download the one from here and it just popped a bunch of porn sites up.

Thanks,

this is not a ubbnews mod, did you check out the demo link above? Check the database for a ubbnews mod that might work for you

It's great to finally see this working... Thanks Allen

welcome, the last little bit took some pestering of the better devs here

Love this mod, Allen & Brett!

I installed it on my 6.5.0 Beta 1 test board.

glad you like it The output can probably be dressed up a bit more with perl wizardry, but I am no wizard

Allen,

I just noticed something about the index; the heading says, "Posts in this thread" ... but the reality is that it's just posts on THAT page.

Does that make sense?

I also have a mod who uses a Mac, and she said this for how the index appears on her computer:

I don't have access to a Mac, so I don't know how to describe it beyond that.

yeah, I should update the file for that

I don't think making the box 'more horizontal' is doable I think it would confuse users more to have the links out of sync with how the thread displays. It's possible the Mac doesn't support the auto-frame that shows up once the number of threads outstrip the height of the box. Which is the way it was done originally (no css'd i-frame). It would do the same on older NS browsers.

Allen,

Right now, the text color for the heading is the color for the text inside the message; if this is dark and the background on the heading is dark, this makes it pretty difficult to read (plus, it knocks things out of color coding ...

Could you (or someone else ) show me how to change that text color so that it fits with the chosen background color?

Thanks!

ack, my brain isn't understanding what you are asking You got a screen shot or link of what it looks like? I'll assist you with it

Here you go, Allen.



The black on blue is too dark

Allen,

I finally figured it out.

I replaced this

I went searching for this to see if anyone updated it for UBB.classic 6.7.0, and I just saw this version.

So I pulled out my multihack file I used for the 6.5.0 board, and I saw that I just had to change one piece of instruction (just what was searched for, not the actual code itself) ...

Anyway, I like having this modification, so I did an updated text file of it ... with all credit for the mod working correctly to Allen and Brett ... if something goes wrong, blame me!

Here's the text file --> page index

Here's an example of what the mod does --> Example of Page Index

thanks sue hunttalk.com used this for their upgrade to 6.7 a while back... they were the original inspiration for the 6.4 version
