NOTICE: This is for vBulletin v3.6 ONLY. You can find a v3.5 compatible version here.

*** Confirmed working on ALL vBulletin 3.6.x versions! ***


Keywords: FORUMDISPLAY, search, results, collapse, AJAX, collapsable, first, last, unread, post

Description:
Allows you to expand/collapse the first, last or first unread post of a thread from FORUMDISPLAY and search results without the need to load the entire thread.

Details:
Upon perusing the wonderful deals over at slickdeals.net, I noticed this nifty feature which caught my eye. I found it quite useful as most people have a bad habit of not being very descriptive with their thread titles. This little trick made my browsing experience much more enjoyable, so naturally I had to borrow [read: shamelessly rip] the idea.

Please note that no additional queries are added, unless using the 'First Unread Post' option. Otherwise, the only queries performed are the same as those when a thread is normally viewed.

The magic behind this modification is performed by jQuery: The Write Less, Do More, JavaScript Library.


Usage:
Simply click the expand icon [+] in front of the thread title to expand, and the collapse icon [-] to collapse. Rocket science, eh?


Installation:
  1. Download and unzip the ajax_first_post.zip archive.
  2. Upload necessary files to their respective locations. (Attention custom style users! Be sure to upload the images to your custom image directory.)
  3. Import the product-ajax_first_post.xml via the Product Manager.
  4. Make any desired configuration changes via AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Collapsable First Post using AJAX
  5. ???
  6. Profit!

Notes:
All template modifications are made automatically. They attach to pretty common text locations, so modified styles shouldn't* be a problem.

However, for those who wish (or need) to perform the edits manually, you can find that information here.

Which edits needs to be made so that the function only shows up for certain usergroups? I would like to limit it to moderators at first.

I had to disable this plugin, because I had a php error when trying to access the usercp :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function fetch_coventry() in /my/server/path/forums/www/usercp.php(503) : eval()'d code on line 21
Everything was workng fine yesterday, I didn't edit/change a file for a week.

Have upgraded to 3.7RC3 and it no longer works. It displays the plus icon but clicking it just makes the image disappear and does not open the preview. I have tried both the manual and auto template edits. This was working for me prior to the RC3 release

toucan42, I visted the site in the URL you sent me via PM and the modification appears to be working fine. The post preview opens and closes without issue. The only issue I see is you haven't copied ajaxsmall.gif to your custom images directory (cb/buttons).

Mangus,
Any news on whether you are working on an update to this hack? I was hoping you would implement my previous suggestion of adding the same functionality to the vB default blue arrow for "last post". Love the hack...just wish I could do the same type of preview on the last post in addition to the first/first unread.
thanks,
KF
