|
|
My very first mod, ever.
I'm not sure if anyone else has already come up with this. I've searched all over the 'net for it, and I can't seem to find it anywhere else, so I'm posting it here first. 
This mod is based on the same principle that A2K uses to link to the last post on index.php. This mod will do the same thing for Simple Subforums 1.0.2 (by pentapenguin) on viewforum.php.
If this is not an original mod, someone please tell me.
| Code: | ##############################################################
## MOD Title: Link to posts by date on Simple Subforums
## MOD Author: FoxyLoxy http://www.foxymods-phpbb.com
## MOD Description: Fixes the last post display on Simple Subforums to link to
## the last post instead of the last post author's profile.
## MOD Version: 1.0.0
##
## Installation Level: (Easy)
## Installation Time: 1 Minute
## Files To Edit: viewforum.php
## Included Files: n/a

That's a nifty add on. I know about that little patch and actually have it on a test forum. what would be really sweet, if this does actually help to make the link more "interesting" to Search engines, is to have it work with Today-Yesterday Relative Time MOD. Example of what it does to the time is on the 4th post of that link.
:edit:
I took the Mouse hover over post MOD and did it so that the first "x" characters of the last post hovers over the date link . the MOD was developed to show the alt over the Topic title made in viewforum.php.
But Instead of adding
| Code: | | class="topictitle">{topicrow.TOPIC_TITLE} |
in viewforum_body.tpl
I added it in viewforum.php . I took out the tittle= attribute and moved it...
find
| Code: | | 'View_latest_post'] . '">' |
and added the title to where you can fit in html.
| Code: | | 'View_latest_post'] . '" title={topicrow.LAST_POST_RESULT}>' |
There is extra stuff in there that needs to come out, I know, but I can not figure how to get rid of it without messing it up.
So I have ...
$last_post_time = '<a href="' . append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_POST_URL . '=' . $topic_rowset[$i]['topic_last_post_id']) . '#' . $topic_rowset[$i]['topic_last_post_id'] . '""' . $lang['View_latest_post'] . '"title={topicrow.LAST_POST_RESULT}>' . create_date($board_config['default_dateformat'], $topic_rowset[$i]['post_time'], $board_config['board_timezone']) . '</a>';
:edit: edit to add that I had to take out title= because other wise with Fire Fox I was getting {topicrow.LAST_POST_RESULT} in the preview and it looked ugly.
I have it showing the latest post thanks to this little fix
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=1805270#p1805270
But probably better to show the first post's content...
So it needs some cleaning. We should have a phpbb-seo.com version with these ideas . This forum has something similar. |

YES, I agree! Alternatively, I would also like to figure out how to get topic titles to display on the simple subforums. Not as bot friendly, but more user friendly for sure. The supreme mod would be to figure out how to make all that configurable through the ACP. To be able to link via date or topic title per forum, whichever you choose. |
