"In Reply To" plugin (threaded view info for all view modes)
![]() Developer Last Online: Sep 2014 ![]() ![]() ![]() This modification is in the archives.
Description
This plugin provides identification in the postbit of which post each post is a reply to (See screenshots if clarification is needed) The original purpose of this modification was to provide missing information to linear view mode users. I got the idea from a board I visit that used to be UBB Threads, though my choice of presentation is a bit different. After several requests with my previous version, I have added this same display to hybrid and threaded view modes. The attached screenshots are probably the best explaination. Lineage This is the vb3.5/plugin version of my previous vb3.0 hack you can find here Complexity One xml import, and 4 template edits Technical This hack has been tested on vB3.5.0RC1 It adds 2 queries to showthread, and adds 1 additional query for each consecutive layer of deleted parents of posts displayed on a page. (If a displayed post is a reply to a deleted reply to an undeleted reply to a deleted reply to an undeleted post, 3 total queries are added to showthread, but if a displayed post is a reply to a deleted reply to a deleted reply to a deleted reply to an undeleted post, 5 total queries are added to showthread. If both examples are displayed in the same page, only 5 total queries are added to showthread.) Functional changes since vb3.0 version Display of additional information appears in all thread view modes Now displays in showpost.php Full template change steps included (variable details still given for customization) Support Please click the install link to the right if you install this modification. Please leave any questions about the plugin in this thread, I will answer them whenever I get the chance (probably about once a week after the first week after vb3.5.0 gold, more frequently before then).

This plugin doesn't seem to work for me. The first thing is the title of the plugin doesn't show up in the plugin manager. Second, if I click edit, nothing shows up in the edit code box and the hook location seems not to be set. I'm new to vBulletin but I think I imported the plugin correctly....I used the Download / Upload Plugins link under Plugin System in the Admin panel of 3.5RC2. I imported by browsing to the XML file on my computer and clicked the Import button in the Import Plugin Definitions XML File box.

No, you need to use the Plugin System>Manage Products page to import the plugin. Also be sure that vBulletin Options>Plugin/Hook System>Enable Plugin/Hook System is set to Yes.

On IPB, they have something like this called a "snapback"
you click it and it takes you back to the post. ![]() No members have liked this post.

I think it would be better if it said for example "in example to post #42" or if the title was a link to the post cause most users tend to leave the deafult title so it wont be much help.
Just my 2 cents ![]() No members have liked this post.

Also, the mod does add a link back to the post being replied to.

Thanks for this mod, it's really useful. I hope this is the proper place to request a small tweak for your next release.
We would like to see an additional variable to display the postcount number of the parent post. That way we could display "in response to Bob (#3)", rather than displaying the whole title of Bob's post. No members have liked this post.
