Reverse Thread Summary

[Peter]

Someone asked for this in another board, thought I may as well post it here.

Goto Admin > Themes > Layout Templates

Select the "Posting Page" template, and click on the "Thread Summary" tab.

At the bottom, paste this in...

<script>

jQuery.fn.reverse = [].reverse;

$(".container.posts.summary table.list tr").reverse().each(function(){
$(this).appendTo($(this).parent());
});

</script>

I like the idea of it being reversed, but I never look at a thread summary anyway, or ok, i do but very rarely.
I always usually quote people so have the info right there in front of me

Good and useful either way though

Same here, never really look at it, and if I do it's like once in a blue moon

Thanks Peter I think I may have been one of the ones who asked for this at some point. Very useful

I'll add this to the index when I do my next trawl. Really need to organise that thing, too. >_>

First of all, thanks Peter

... a question: it seems it works perfectly with 1-page-threads but with >1-page-threads is seems to be working only 'quoting', and not 'replying'...

is that issue only mine or someone else noticed it ?!

Just tested it myself with a 1 page thread, and an 11 page thread, replying and quoting, no issues at all.

What browser and OS?

Any custom template changes to those areas where the summary displays?

[user07]

Thank you for answering, Peter
well, no changes in "Thread Summary" but maybe I'd have to look somewhere else...

[Peter]

It's a very simple script, all my tests appear to work fine. Not sure what to suggest

Link me to your forum so I can see if there is anything I can spot.

[user07]

Ok, so, I really have no idea about the reason but the issue was probably because of my relocated Reply button...
(also, it wasn't true that this script wasn't working, it worked but ONLY and ALWAYS for the first page of each thread... sorry I didn't explain correctly )
Anyway, I am using this code here: support.proboards.com/post/5162858/thread (REPLY Button Relocation)

Changing this (Structure > Layout Templates > Thread > Post List):

<a class="button" href="/post/new/$[post.thread_id]" role="button">Reply</a>

with this:

<a role="button" href="/post/new/$[post.thread_id]" class="button reply-button ">Reply</a>

made your script working, Peter

(but Reply button wasn't working anymore for posts found via 'Recent' link
so I've tried with this:

{if !$[viewing_recent_posts]}
<a role="button" href="/post/new/$[post.thread_id]" class="button reply-button ">Reply</a>{/if}
{if $[viewing_recent_posts]}
<a class="button" href="/post/new/$[post.thread_id]" role="button">Reply</a>{/if}

and now it seems that everything is fine enough: 'Reply' clicked in in-thread-posts links to a reply page with a reversed summary; 'Reply' clicked in recent-posts links to a reply page with a reversed summary of the first thread's page, but that doesn't matter much... )

Same happened on mine with Reply relocation, so disabled it, cause not sure what you did to fix it user07

Peter , sorry to bother you again... but is there a way to modify this script so that it can work with also the messages'summary (conversations/PM)?

Try this code instead of the other...

<script>

jQuery.fn.reverse = [].reverse;

$(".container.posts.summary table.list tr, .container.messages.summary table.list tr").reverse().each(function(){
$(this).appendTo($(this).parent());
});

</script>

[user07]

Peter thank you very much

it didn't change anything but this
<script>

jQuery.fn.reverse = [].reverse;

$(".container.messages.summary table.list tr").reverse().each(function(){
$(this).appendTo($(this).parent());
});

</script>
in Conversation Summary's template worked
Thanks again!
