Added....nice.

Thanks guys for the modifications you do! Definitely helps to spice things up a bit.

How does this differ from this mod of yours?

(apart from the version number )

Awesome! Good work

Ah - I closed the other one.
I didn't realize that I'd posted this for 6.3 - BUT it was written from an early beta and the instructions no longer worked. I think some of the "last post" information was added to the queries since i wrote it.
And it never worked on expanded view.

I should have updated the old one - I guess we can delete it - as this one will work on 6.3 finished release.

The old one worked fine on 6.3

No it never worked right for expanded view. It showed the preview for the main post and not the individual posts.

I had to dig much deeper into the show_replies function to get that to work right.

Have you still got the directions somewhere for the old one, as the thread has gone, so I can un-install it - thanks.

Josh - in postlist.php

$postrow[$z]['Subject'] = $Subject;
$postrow[$z]['Username'] = $Username;

appears twice.

In the show_replies function near the top - although it doesn't matter - you'll be adding the body into both sections where it sets up the array.

Don't have the old one anymore. Old steps will remain the same - this version just adds additional steps into the "show replies" function near the top - as the old version didn't work in expanded mode - this now has the additional steps to make that work.

Updated for 6.4
