Return To mod Beta 1.2 YaBB2
--------------------------------------------------------

This mod allows a user to decide where to return to after posting to a thread.  A drop-down selection box is placed underneath the "Disable Smilies" check box on the post page.  The user may select to return to the current thread (defualt YaBB style, Display.pl), to the current Board (MessageIndex.pl), or the forum start (BoardIndex.pl).

New in this addition, the user may select a default "return to" place in their profile options, that when posting will automatically be selected, but also could be changed.


Comments
---------------
- Two mod files are included, 1) Just the normal one and 2) one that includes a patch for the Reverse Post Order mod
- If you plan to use this and Reverse Post Order mod, install Reverse Post Order first then install this one with the patch
- I saw something like this on another kind of message board


Installation & Update
---------------------
1.  Unistall previous version
2.  Mod the files
3.  Upload the modded files and the language file to the correct directories


Compatability
--------------
YaBB 2 only


History
---------------
v1.0 - Initial Release
v1.1 - Added the ability for a user to select which 'return to' area would be selected in the drop down menu as default in their profile options.  Also, removed workaround for 'new' marker with actual fix and extended this to new threads also.

Heißt wohin, nicht wo 


The mod sounds cool, but im sure it would just confuse my members  Anyway Thanks 

Well, I will personally use it all the time.  I can't tell you how many times I post something, but do not want to go back to the thread but to all the threads.  This is a click saver  8).

Thanks for the translations guys.  The next version will include it, yes there will be a next version from me.

Yeah, I'm going to update this this weekend with a new feature.  There is a minor thing that is just not good.

But for now do this to get rid of this hasty placed code.

• Remove the mod
• Go into the mod editor
• Goto the mod action tab
• Highlight <edit file> Sources/MessageIndex.pl and hit Delete action
• Goto the section that edits Profile.pl
• Goto the 3rd step, its a search and replace
• In the lower right hand box, the one with the text that will replace that found in the right upper box place the following on a new line right above ### Return To mod end ### (just place your cursor behind the }}, hit enter once, then tab)
  
  Code

  

  &dumplog($mnum,$date); 
  
  

• Hit save
• close and add the mod

THis only needs to be done on the 3rd action only.  It should now look like this

	### Return To mod ###
	if ($rts == 3) {$yySetLocation = qq~$scripturl~;}
	elsif ($rts == 2) {$yySetLocation = qq~$scripturl?board=$currentboard~;}
	else{if (${$uid.$username}{'reverse_posts'} eq "on" && $threadclass ne 'announcement') {
			if($currentboard eq $annboard) {
				$yySetLocation = qq~$scripturl?virboard=$currentboard;num=$thread~;
			}
			else {
				$yySetLocation = qq~$scripturl?num=$thread~;
			}
		}}
	&dumplog($mnum,$date);
	### Return To mod end### 

Just in case you were wondering, in the original code, after you would post and went somewhere else, YaBB did not record that the user was there and made the last post.  So after the jump, you would get a new icon by the thread name.  I got around this, in an inproper way, by bypassing the new icon in MessageIndex.pl (bad move).

Anyway, as I said, having the original mod won't hurt if you just want to wait around for the new version.

updated...see initial post

Black screen.....that's not good.  This is really weird since I haven't coded for a black screen....and the Minimum time thing, I'll check that out too.

Keep checking this thread, I may need some more feedback from you.

What is your Minimum time between two postings from the same IP (in seconds) setting at? 

This mod shouldn't trigger this because it is a simple redirect.  After, the post has been written to the file, you are marked as to haven visited the thread (a YaBBB default sub) and then redirected to your next destination.

I looked in to it more and it only seems to do this when you have the Return To set at Current Thread.

The Current Board and the Form Start drop down work ok.. Its just the one that keeps you on the current topic.


I tested this with and with out using the quick reply. Same thing happens using it and not using it.
