Copyright/PM's read/Join Date - ALL RESOLVED

[Lady Squid]

Forum URL: armitagearmy.proboards.com

I hope I am allowed to ask questions on 3 topics in one post...



First of all, I don't know if it's a plugin or a code edit, but in V4 we had a copyright notice automatically in each post (I did this with code in the footer I believe). Is this possible in V5?


Second, is it possible to request some way for staff to see if a member has read a PM? I know it's been discussed but don't know if it's actually been requested.


Third (added later) - I had code in V4 which let someone's join date be changed (how it appears in the miniprofile, etc) . Is that available for v5?


thanks!

Hi Lady Squid,

For the first & third questions, do you happen to have a link to where those codes can be found?

For the second one, it has been requested however since the PM system allows for multiple participants now, it'll be a bit difficult to implement. I can't say that it won't ever happen, but for the moment it seems unlikely though

Hi,

Yes it would definitely be possible to do this with a plugin in v5.

No, this is not possible and we have no plans to bring this functionality to v5 at this time.

First and third, let me look at my old H&F... be back in a minute.

Ok, for the copyright, it was by california:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* add a copyright to every user's post by california */

var copyright="©2013, <i>#username#</i>, All Rights Reserved.";

var td=document.getElementsByTagName("td");
if(location.href.match(/action=(display|search2)/)){
for(i=0;i<td.length;i++){
var tda=td.getElementsByTagName("a");
if(td.width=="20%" && td.className.match(/windowbg/)){
if(tda.length>2){
if(tda[1].name) dname = tda[2].innerHTML;
else dname = tda[1].innerHTML;
}else{
var dname = (td.innerHTML.match(/<\/a>\s?(\w+)\s?</i)) ? RegExp.$1 : 'guest';
}
}
if(td.colSpan=="3" && td.vAlign=="bottom"){
td.innerHTML=copyright.replace(/#username#/gi,dname)+td.innerHTML;
}
}
}
// -->
</script>

And the "change join dates" was by SubDevo:


<script type="text/javascript">
/* Change Join Dates for Certain Users by SubDevo */
/* Global Footer - Please leave this header intact. Do not repost. */
/* interoceandesigns.com or lsdp.proboards.com */

var uI=[]; // DO NOT TOUCH
uI["squidknox"]=["Sept 2007", "Sept 15, 2007, 1:00am"];

if(/(calendar|pm|pre)view|viewprofile|search2|display/i.test(pb_action)){
var td=document.getElementsByTagName("td"),n,x=-1,pU;
while(td[++x]){ n=td[x].innerHTML;
if(td[x].width=="20%"&&/user=(.+?)\"/i.test(n)){ pU=RegExp.$1;
if(uI[pU]){
td[x].innerHTML=n.replace(/Joined:(.+?)</,"Joined: "+uI[pU][0]+"<");
}}}} td=document.getElementsByTagName("font");
if(pb_action=="viewprofile"){
pU=location.href.split(/&user=/i)[1]; pU=(pU)?pU:pb_username;
if(uI[pU]){x=-1;
while(td[++x]){
if(td[x].innerHTML=="Date Registered:"){
td[x+1].innerHTML=uI[pU][1]; break;
}}}}
</script>

Ok, thanks for the answers on #2. I'll tell our staff.

[Lady Squid]

Actually you asked for links to the codes, not the codes themselves. I don't have the links, sorry.

[CheatAreZee]

Thanks Lady Squid! For the registration date, it looks like a plugin for that has already been created which you can find here.

For the copyright one, though I don't see anything similar that's been created just yet. Visit our Request a Plugin area and create a new thread there. In the new thread, feel free to provide that code as an example and a coder should be able to work off of it to create a compatible plugin see the suggestions below

The copyright one could be done with a layout template modification, easy. We'd just need to know where in the post it goes.

Hi,

For adding copyright to each posting - You can do this on the templates

Go Admin - Themes - Layout Templates - Thread - Post List

go to about line 31

And try adding the code below - you can change ©2013 to ©2014

<br />
<div class="copyright">©2013, <span class="italic">ADD YOUR FORUM NAME HERE</span>, All rights reserved and remain with the author $[post.created_by_user.name]©</div>

Here is a shot of the general line 31 area, can you tell me exactly where to place that code? I'm terrified of making an error!!

Yes, he sure was speedy in posting that! I just asked him to clarify exactly where to place the code.

Got that plugin all set up, thanks!
