Improved Thread Preview 1.0
Mod Version: 1.00, by TCattitude (Coder/Designer) TCattitude is offline
Developer Last Online: Jan 2013 I like it Show Printable Version Email this Page

This modification is in the archives.
vB Version: 3.0.8 Rating: (4 votes - 3.75 average) Installs: 7
Released: 27 Jun 2005 Last Update: Never Downloads: 22
Not Supported Template Edits Code Changes  

¿What this do?
vBulletin already have a thread preview. But only works fine
with IE, and: i don't use IE.
Mozilla Firefox (gecko engine) shows only some characters for
the preview, and not the limit that you put on admincp in
"Length of Thread Preview Text" inside of Forum Display
Options.

So, this DHTML replace the actual thread preview for a
working one in FF1+ (and netscape) IE5+ and Opr7+

See and example jpg attached to the zip file.
The colors and font size are automatic set direct from the
style of your board. The lenght of the preview (in
characters) are controlled from the same setting of the old
threads preview inside the AdminCP.

good effort but I would like to point out that this will actually BLOAT your forumdisplay...
  1. bandwidth will definately increase (will only hurt if you have many hits to forumdisplay)
  2. browser rendering time will increase (extra html code will slow the rendering of forumdisplay on client side)

If it needs instructions, there's room for improvement.
Give users what they actually want, not what they say they want. And whatever you do, don't give them new features just because your competitors have them!

every day we learn something new

my intentions wasn't to put the hack down ... but to make you aware of the issues

the hack could still be used on sites that do not have high traffic

omg you just steal works from others, what a shame on you.

Could you tell us what did you change to those JS files? I could tell you every single change made to them.

oooh well...

Was that really necessary? Couldn't you have just PM'd TC?

I like this Thread Preview better than the standard one... aside from the bandwidth and rendering time concerns.
