Individual Post Subjects

[Brian]

Download

Uses 1 Post Key

Brings back the option to specify a subject for each individual post on the forum. If no subject is specified the post will default to "Re: (Thread Subject)" where the text in italics will be the thread's current subject.




How to use

When creating a new post you can specify a different subject than the thread's default subject. If you want to change the subject after submitting the post, simply click on the pencil icon next to the subject on the Edit Post page, type your subject, and click the save link.




Templates

If you want to place the subject somewhere other than the default location in the post for your theme you can go to your post list template and insert this code wherever you want the subject to go instead.

Themes > Layout Templates > Thread > Post List

<span class="p-subject"></span>

Hi, I've just installed this but it is NOT letting me save my edited titles in each post.

Can you provide a link to the forum you're experiencing this on?

I've figured it out now Brian. Thanks anyway! x

Is it possible to only have this option on one board?

[Brian]

Not without changing the plugin itself. Sorry.

[jajabad]

Oh okay, thanks!

I assumed that the last post subject of the thread would be shown as last thread in the boards list on first screen of the forum. This is a wrong assumption that I did, is not it?

Nope. It works just like it did in the previous version of ProBoards where the subject is only shown in the post itself.

Hi, this plugin fills one of the gaps in Proboards. So, I hope we can have it perfectly running.

Having installed the plugin, people have realized that one cannot navigate to the third page by clicking the navigation buttons in Recent Posts page and the expected subject lines do not appear, either.

Before I am suggested, I have already disabled it and the problem ceased.

Do you have a link to the forum in question?

[tek]

Yes, please here.

I found the problem and have fixed it on your end.

I've also submitted a new version of the plugin to the library that includes the same fix.

[tek]

Thanks for the quick response, and the fix on our end.

Hey. tek

I was looking at this plugin to see how keys worked with posts when I seen it has a rather obvious security issue. You're using JS to escape the < and > tags when entering the post titles, which cause an issue, but if a user uses the console so they insert the tags into the key themselves then they will be read and inserted into the document. You should assume that all data on the server is considered unsafe and escape it when reading, not when inserting.

I did learn how to use keys though
