Warn of New Topic in Thread Before Submitting

[pentapenguin]

Hello.
This small MOD will add a warning if someone has posted a new message while you are posting yours.
If someone has, a warning will appear so you can see their post first before submitting yours.
It's very handy if you have a busy site.

Note: the instructions are for Aphrodite. If you need help for other styles, just say.

Code: Select all

[mikecp421]

can you tell me how to do this with Morpheus? and what area of the config I need to mod? Thanks

[PostBot]

Same way as for Aphrodite, but instead of templates/ca_aphrodite/xs/xs_topic.tpl edit templates/Morpheus/viewtopic_body.tpl

May I ask, where is the original MOD? Very interesting to see (I made one MOD with same functionality).

[PostBot]

Original idea is from phpBB 3.

[kukacomone]

Cool, i install it now.

[DooBDee]

what i love about most things / mods with phpbbstyles is that you only have to edit the theme skins. Ie - you dont have to edit actual phpBB files.

[phpBBHomer]

thnx for the mod buddy. but i cant find this {S_HIDDEN_FIELDS} in viewtopic.tpl

[DooBDee]

Greetings,

This variable is in :

templates/ca_aphrodite/xs/xs_topic.tpl

not the file you mentioned

[phpBBHomer]

hi again

yeah i know but see what ca told:

[quote user="CyberAlien" post="28867"]Same way as for Aphrodite, but instead of templates/ca_aphrodite/xs/xs_topic.tpl edit templates/Morpheus/viewtopic_body.tpl[/quote]

thats why i thought that it will be also in igloo template.

[pentapenguin]

The xs/xs_topic.tpl file is for the quick reply box.
It's in a separate file in Aphrodite but is part of viewtopic_body.tpl in Morpheus.

[phpBBHomer]

hm k thnx
then it will not working for me because m not using this style

[pentapenguin]

No, the code will work with any style.
Since your template doesn't have quick reply, you don't need to mess with that file then.
Just edit the other 3 files.

[mwx]

how u do this is morpheusx?

[UseLess]

Greetings,

Follow the instructions above, but where it states;

Code: Select all

# 
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------ 
#

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#

templates/MorpheusX/viewtopic_body.tpl
