[6.4 - 6.5 - 6.6 - 6.7] [beta] Quick Transition

Modification Name: Quick Transition

Author(s): Brett

Description: I don't know why i thought of this now, but i always thought it was useful. I forgot how the old author 'joetan2004' created it, as the link is down. link to old topic

This hack will get rid of all transition pages, and quickly load the next page.

Instructions / Other Info:

Code

in public_common.pl

# find 

$goto =~ s/;/&/g;

# add under

print qq~<html><script language="Javascript">n<!--nwindow.location = '$goto';n--></script></html>~; return 1;

hey thx.

i installed it but i am not really sure what does it make ? nothing changed to me ?!

you mean the screen after posting "sit tight... bla bla"? it's still there for me

Sorry about that, should have tested it first

Well, it should work now.

Yeah, the "sit tight " screen would be gone.

well uhm.... my result now is this:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/ubb/ on this server.

Darn, well can you try this?

Code

change
window.location = '$goto';

to this in the added code
window.location = unescape('$_[0]');

now it worked if i add the

Code

print qq~<html><script language="Javascript">n<!--nwindow.location = '$goto';n--></script></html>~; exit(0);

after the "goto...." and not after the "cut..."

thx. !

edit: i modified it a bit and it looks nicer like this:

Code

 	print qq~<html><table border="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="100%" id="table1" cellpadding="0" 

height="100%"><tr><td><p align="center"><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Hold on while we take you back to your 

post.....</font></b></td></tr></table><script language="Javascript">n<!--nwindow.location = '$goto';n--></script></html>~; 

exit(0);

uhm well.... it seems like the forum summary page is not updated anymore with the last post time and date.

the public forum summary is okay but not the forum summary page with all the thread listings...

is this a possible bug ? or did I broke sth. else

?

, yeah, the exit part is what is messing it up, bc after the transition it is supposed to clear the cache. you gotta replace the 'exit(0);' with 'return 1;'

ok, ehehe, don't worry

i tested it out and it seems to work now

let's see what else i can find

according to some of the 56K users on my boards, it's amazingly better

cool, thanks brett

Very very nice, I modifide Stamoulis's code just a bit to:

Code

print qq~<html><body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFFFFF"><table border="0" 

style="border-collapse: collapse" width="100%" id="table1" cellpadding="0" height="100%"><tr><td><p align="center"><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Hold on while we take you back to your post...</font></b></td></tr></table><script language="Javascript">n<!--nwindow.location = '$goto';n--></script></body></html>~; return 1;

Found something fun, when you're browsing topics with next/previous and you reach the end of the line, it's quite entertaining when you have it say "Please hold while we bring you back to your post"... Cas each time they click next/previous instead of seeing "There are no newer posts" they keep seeing "Please hold while we take you back to your post" lol...

WARNING: The pause between forwards is intentional to allow the server to catch up with itself. Installing this hack may cause unusual side effects and will cause a performance impact.
