Topic Icons

[Quozzo]

I have seen your replies, I've just not had the time to look into it yet.

[RichardInTN]

O.k. not trying to rush you. Just wanted make sure you knew that I had replied.

[RichardInTN]

On second thought, don't worry about it. I found a better plugin for what I wanted anyway (I was actually looking for a plugin that would let members replace the 6 default images to the left of the thread titles).


*not that there was anything wrong with yours. I just hadn't come across the one I really needed until a few minutes ago

[toetapping]

I have a problem with this plugin and Ulises recommended to come here.

My problem is here support.proboards.com/thread/615431/typing-changed-on-certain-theme

Hope you can help and thank you.

Guests don't have access to the board you linked in the other thread.

The topic links have been changed by what appears to be a template MOD named Make topic links go to newest post as seen in the below photo. You can remove the MOD or modify the MOD so it adds at minimum a thread-link class back to the link thus making it identifiable as a thread link.

[toetapping]

I don't know much about coding so could you please tell me where to find that page.  All I want to do is remove it. I really like the plug in but it is messing so many other things up.

[Chris]

toetapping  ,I'm not at all familiar with that MOD but I'm going to guess you'll find it in your

-Admin Panel
Structures
Layout Templates
Board => Thread List Tab.

You should be able to identify where it starts (if it is indeed in there) by the line <!-- Make topic links go to newest post -->. You'll need to paste the contents of that entire template here so we can see how that theme author decided to reconstruct the link then further instructions can be given geared specifically to that construct.

You could also contact the theme author of that theme, assuming it is a pre-made,  and in addition to getting help from them for that theme you might inform them that removing classes isn't really a good idea and really serves no purpose other than making codes not work properly.

Here it is Chris.

I have also sent Quozzo a p.m. to take a look.

[Chris]

toetapping , thanks but that looks like the contents of the BOARD tab, what I need the the contents of the THREAD LIST tab, sorry if that wasn't clear.




It would also help if you got the entire content so after you make it so you get that blinking text carat waiting for you to type something into the template use either CTRL + A or right click and choose the "Select all" option to ensure you get all the text then copy and paste

[toetapping]

Sorry Chris that I did it wrong.

[Chris]

That's a fine job toetapping , in that tab the two lines I wanted to see are there

<!-- Make topic links go to newest post -->
<span class="link target"><a href="/threads/recent/$[thread.id]">$[thread.subject]</a> <br /></span>

So to get any code, such as this plugin, that is looking for a thread link to work we'll need to add back the class identifying it as a thread link in that second line that replaces the thread link (the red part is what is being added)

<span class="link target"><a class="$[thread.link.class]" href="/threads/recent/$[thread.id]">$[thread.subject]</a> <br /></span>

Make sure you leave a space before and after the red part to avoid interfering with other attributes or the tag name. ETA: be sure to save your changes.
That should once again get that topic link recognizable as a topic link by codes.

[toetapping]

Chris. I found the part but I am not confident to do it myself. Could you please just show the finished product what it should look like and I can just copy and past. It would really be appreciated.

The final "{/if}" in your last copy and paste attempt was left off so it is imperative that you copy the entire contents (see my last post for a tried and true method to do that). Codes are finicky that way, you can't just leave off a tiny piece and still expect it to work as intended.

Since this is an already modified template on that particular theme, the RESET TO DEFAULT button would reset it to default not to the way the theme author wanted it so as a safety net you could copy the contents of the template (this time making sure you get everything -- see my previous post for a tried and true method to do that) and paste it into a word processor or send as a PM to yourself so you have a record of how it currently is, that way if you make a mistake you can use the backup to restore.

[Quozzo]

In the Advanced tab of the Thread Icons plugin, you could add a comma and include the .link a at the end of the Icon Parser String and see if that works.

.thread-recent-link, .thread-link, .title-bar h1, .nav-tree-branch, .link a
