Template System Variable Requests

[eaststandboy]

Hello

When i post links or tag members, they appear like normal text. I went to the advanced theme editor and made it underlined. This did it to every link on the forum, even thread titles.

How can i change JUST the links that users post in messages?

Thanks

I've been doing a poor job watching this thread

I updated the index above to include a number of old requests. Not sure if devs have been grabbing from here or not, but if you could check the index and make edits as need be, that would be great!

there is already these,
$[total_members_online_24]
$[total_staff_online_24]
$[total_guests_online_24]

can we have a Variable where it supplies a TOTAL Users Online In The Last 24 Hours? (adding total members/staff/guests together)
for example It could be $[total_users_online_24]

This would definitely be very nice to have =D

Apologies for posting in the wrong place.

$[user_groups_href]

Essentially, I have a post-registration page that greets the new user and offers to signup for applicable groups they may like, etc. The only issue is that there is not a direct URL the groups page and you have to get to it via your own profile>groups link(i.e., http://forum-url/user/1/groups). I even tried to rig up an HTML href using <a href="$[current_user]/groups">See groups</a> to no avail (<-- had a feeling that wouldn't work but was worth the try).

I also tried to simply copy/paste the syntax data from the groups layout template which did yield the columns below but it said you're not a member of any groups (via the else if statement in the query).

This Member's Groups Leaders Members Status

So either a URL directly (dynamically) to the user's groups URL or a group alt URL would be wonderful!

Thanks,

Andrew

thanks wormopolis i already came up with that idea but i wanted to put it in a {if} statement too for user"s"

Total User{if}<script>document.write(""+ ($[total_staff_online] + $[total_members_online] + $[total_guests_online]))</script> !=1}s{/if} Online.

this obviously doesn't work as the javascript outputs dynamic data not html. if you know another way please throw it at me!!!

[Wormopolis]

<script>var tmp=($[total_staff_online] + $[total_members_online] + $[total_guests_online]); document.write("Total User" + (tmp!=1 ? "s" : "") + ": "+tmp )</script>

I'm stealing this by the way, and shall use on my next pre-made theme. Will of course credit when I have done it

[Wormopolis]

have at it

thank you!!!!

Thanks for your patience, everyone.

I'll list all the new variables I added in bold:

• $[post.thread] Thread -> Post List $[post]: Add href, title, content, etc, rather than just link to thread. - You now have access to the entire thread object. If you use $[post.thread] it will still return the HTML for the link as it did before, but you can also do things like $[post.thread.id] or $[post.thread.views].
  
• $[current_user.is_pbplus] User -> is_pbplus
  
• $[forum.is_adfree] Forum -> is_adfree
  
• $[thread.board] Board -> Display Name (in thread list template) - You now have access to the entire board object, so you not only get board.id and board.display_name, you'll also get board.moderator and all the other good stuff.
• $[total] Total Number of results on search page
  
• $[current_user.theme] - skin.id and skin.name for current_user - Renamed to reflect the new V5 name for skins. In addition to theme.id and theme.name, you also get theme.css (which won't really do anything for you, but the data is there regardless), theme.description, theme.disabled, and theme.default.
  
• $[total_online] and $[total_online_24] - Total # Users online
  

One of the requests, $[user_groups_href], turns out to be unneeded. Vu1canF0rce, you can accomplish this with this code:

<a href="$[current_user.href]/groups">Click here to see your groups</a>

Have fun with the new variables, everyone. Show us what sorts of cool layouts you can do with them!

Unfortunately, we won't be able to implement the request for 'Read Count in thread list and thread pages'. If I understand your request, you want to get the number of views that each individual post has. However, this isn't information that we track.

Have fun with the new variables, everyone. Show us what sorts of cool layouts you can do with them!

Awesome thank you.

You're welcome! I forgot to mention, I'll post again once the new variables go live.

Have all of the above already been added? Because I can't get the total results for search to work
Just shows as blank. I can't even see it in the variable list either.
