xThreads + ThreadLog

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 04:35:32 -0500

Hello my loves,

I am in need of some help, please ;-;

As you all know, I updated my threadlog to use this version (zinabat fork)

When I was using the old version, Omar was kind enough to help make it work with xThreads. This is the code that was provided here. Unfortunately, those pieces to find no longer exist, and I can't find anything similar to them, either.

Does anyone have any ideas? :o

<3

Find:

PHP Code:
$query = $db->simple_select("threads", "tid,fid,subject,dateline,replies,lastpost,lastposter,lastposteruid,prefix,closed", "visible = 1". $tids . $forum_select ." ORDER BY `tid` DESC LIMIT ". $start .", ". $per_page); 

Replace:

PHP Code:
        $threadfield_cache = xthreads_gettfcache();

        $xt_fields = '';

        if(!empty($threadfield_cache))
        {
            $fids = empty($fids) ? false : array_map('intval', explode(',', $fids));
            $all_fids = empty($fids);
            $xt_fields = '';
            foreach($threadfield_cache as $k => &$v) {
                $available = (!$v['forums']) || $all_fids;
                if(!$available)
                    foreach(explode(',', $v['forums']) as $fid) {
                        if(isset($fids[$fid])) {
                            $available = true;
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                if($available)
                    $xt_fields .= ', tfd.`'.$v['field'].'` AS `xthreads_'.$v['field'].'`';
            }
        }

    $query = $db->simple_select("threads t LEFT JOIN {$db->table_prefix}threadfields_data tfd ON (tfd.tid=t.tid) LEFT JOIN {$db->table_prefix}users lu ON (lu.uid=t.lastposteruid)", "t.*{$xt_fields},lu.uid AS lastposter_uid,lu.usergroup AS lastposter_usergroup,lu.displaygroup AS lastposter_displaygroup", "t.visible=1". str_replace('tid', 't.tid', $tids) . str_replace('fid', 't.fid', $forum_select ) , array('limit' => $per_page, 'limit_start' => $start, 'order_by' => 't.tid', 'order_dir' => 'desc'));

    $xt_tids = '';
    !$threadfield_cache || $xt_tids = '0,'.$topics; 

find

PHP Code:
$page_total++; 

Add after

PHP Code:
        $threadfields = array();

        if(!empty($threadfield_cache)) {
            xthreads_set_threadforum_urlvars('thread', $thread['tid']);
            xthreads_set_threadforum_urlvars('forum', $thread['fid']);

            foreach($threadfield_cache as $k => &$v) {
                if($v['forums'] && strpos(','.$v['forums'].',', ','.$thread['fid'].',') === false)
                    continue;

                xthreads_get_xta_cache($v, $xt_tids);

                $threadfields[$k] =& $thread['xthreads_'.$k];
                xthreads_sanitize_disp($threadfields[$k], $v, ($thread['username'] !== '' ? $thread['username'] : $thread['threadusername']));
            }
        } 

then use {$threadfields['key']} array in the threadlog_row template.

userCP doesn't save after changing template

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 05:08:58 -0500

Heeeeeeeey

SO I'm breaking something, but fuck if I know what LOL.

I changed my usercp template from Code A (default) to Code B (a very basic div table that is responsive) buuuut it doesn't save any input changes when the div code is being used? I cannot figure out why???

I've put the proper code back for now, but I really want to use the customised not-a-stupid-table one XD

Default Code

Code:





{$mybb->settings['bbname']} - {$lang->edit_profile}

{$headerinclude}{$recentthread_headerinclude}





{$header}








{$usercpnav}






{$errors}











{$lang->edit_profile}






{$lang->profile_required}






{$requiredfields}


{$lang->change_email_notice}










{$lang->profile_optional}

















{$website}


{$lang->birthday}





















{$lang->birthdayprivacy}














{$customfields}

    

    


    

    

        CSS Options


        


            [content]

    

Use custom CSS?


    {$GLOBALS['xtpf_inp']['fid7']}

                

        


    





{$customtitle}

{$contactfields}

{$awaysection}






















{$footer}

Div Tables (I even left out the xthread style change lmao and it still doesn't work ;-;

Code:





{$mybb->settings['bbname']} - {$lang->edit_profile}

{$headerinclude}{$recentthread_headerinclude}





{$header}









    

        

            Title


            


                

                    {$usercpnav}

                    {$errors}

        


    




    

    

        

            {$lang->edit_profile}


            


                

{$lang->profile_required}

{$lang->change_email_notice}

{$requiredfields}





{$lang->profile_optional}



{$lang->birthday}













{$lang->birthdayprivacy}











{$customtitle}

{$contactfields}

{$awaysection}








{$customfields}



















        


    










{$footer}

Thaaaaaaanks in advance, because I'm confused as all hell XD

Looking for a custom responsive skin

Sat, 07 Jun 2025 13:28:22 -0500

Ello!

After some debating, I've decided to post a request for a custom skin to see if any people were taking commissions. Unfortunately while I do know how to code and mostly just code snippets for fun, my time is real limited as a final year student right now, and I'll be starting an intership real soon too, so I will have even less time to figure out the beast that is mybb.

I have some mockups and an idea of what I'd like in terms of looks for the site, so feel free to shoot me a dm over on discord at revenantdivision and we can discuss further!

Inserting mycode buttons into the text editor?

Mon, 19 May 2025 15:46:43 -0500

So.

It's basically what the title says. I'd asked in the discord a few days ago, but I continue to be stumped with this, so I was wondering if anyone here could explain it to me like I'm 5. The mycodes have been made and are functional; it's just a matter of getting them to display on the editor here.

Creating a theme. Where the heck to put the html?

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 10:16:00 -0500

Basically what the title says.

I'm familiar with html and css, but I'm kind of stumped as to where you're supposed to place the html code in the templates? I've been following this post by Widow.

Do you just... place your, say, header html into the header templates? And then your index in the index ones, etc? Or...?

Issues with threadlog plugin

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 15:30:55 -0600

I've tried all (to my knowledge) different versions of the threadlog plugin. From Autumn's to Cat's modified version as well as Zina's. The first two just appear broken while the last one gives me an internal SQL error.

I'd like to use Zina's threadlog (reordering + thread descriptions is very handy to keep track of things). Do you guys have any solutions for this? As far as I know the threadlog is in use on Canis Major at the moment?

Help with Shinka plugins?

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 20:29:15 -0600

I'd like to install some of Shinka's plugins. Namely the News, Moon Phase and Weather ones.

I got weather to install and appear in plugins and I went ahead and inputed the OpenWeatherMap API key, the zip code and the country code, but I'm kind of... unsure how to proceed? Or to really install the other two.

So:

1. Where is what placed in the root?
2. Do I need to do anything else after placing everything in their respective directories?

account switcher troubles; dropdown menu

Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:16:29 -0600

how would i go about making the account switcher dropdown menu match the style and function of the dropdown menu you see in the header?

i'd be looking to later copy it to make more dropdowns...

link to my website, even though i loathe to share it....

Stats Page

Sat, 30 Nov 2024 15:29:25 -0600

I am looking to build out a large site stats page. I haven't really been able to find anything that offers this in the way that I am hoping.

I want to show things like the sum of sex, gender, trades, masters/sub-masters of each trade, etc. In theory, I know it is somehow linking the fid of each of those items but beyond that... not sure how to get them to display properly.

What is the best way to go about this? Has anyone done this on their site so I can see how it works when done?

Thank you!

Toggling between light and dark theme

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 19:01:54 -0600

I recently came across a jcink site that allows you to toggle back and forth between a light and dark skin without having to change the skin. I also found it on a MyBB site but I am not really sure how to find where it came from or how to make it work. Is it something that is easy or would it require a full change of coding to get in place? This would be soooo helpful to have!

Thank you!

header_welcomeblock; arranging text elements [noob]

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 16:15:00 -0600

so,

i am working to slowly morph the default theme into something resembling php themes of the 00s. this is how my header_welcomeblock_member currently looks;

and this is the inspiration for how i'd like it to look ;

i want to;

change font to Times New Roman ( but post contents and forums descriptions should still use the default one ) ,
remove the icons,
remove the "Welcome back" text but keep the currently logged in username,
move the Enhanced Account Switcher dropdown menu,
remove the "last visited" text,
move the User CP, Mod CP and Admin CP elements,
remove the Search bar and replace it with the PMs link,

then, below that;

on the right, have the Search redirect button, View New Posts, View Today's Posts and another redirect link ( later, i'll figure out how to list threads with no replies made in specific forums ).

essentially, this is my vision ( although i'll eventually change the colors );

this is how my header_welcomeblock_member template looks;

Code:



    ( {$lang->welcome_back} | {$lang->welcome_logout} )





    

        

             {$usercplink}

            {$modcplink}

            {$admincplink} 

        


        

            {$buddylink}

            {$searchlink}

            {$pmslink}{$as_header}

any and all advice is appreciated! even if you can only advise me on one of the things listed, i'll be grateful for it, as i have no experience with mybb.

Hiring a coder; what to expect?

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 04:15:08 -0600

after months of mucking around with my site i've realized that i simply do not have neither the attention span nor memory recall to successfully build a site as i envision it.

i'll be looking to hire someone to do it for me, at some point down the line, but first i'd like to hear from the more experienced - what to expect when hiring a coder, what are the usual prices, what are the red and green flags, where to find experienced or at least willing coders, and all the others tips you could think of (cannot overemphasize how little i know of these things!) ...

if any additional info is needed, this is how i'd like my forums to eventually look (ofc, adapted to mybb, and with cosmetic differences), although mobile responsive and with account switcher integration.

for profiles, i'd like them to look like this, but ofc matching the aesthetic of the forums.

i thank anyone who replies!

lmao all the Warnings from xThreads. Plz help

Sat, 19 Oct 2024 10:24:08 -0500

I don't even know what I did, you guys XD

But I do know this.

1. I made the changes in this post

2. It works fine... in so far as the names populate, and they link and send alerts when posting is posted.

3. HOWEVER... It brings up ALL these lovely errors: Just load up the page lmao

4. I have all this set up on my other site (Blood Ties) and it doesn't spit out these errors sooooo... IDK?

5. I am using xThreads to edit all the IC forums, but I turned it off on that board (and the category) to check and it didn't change anything?

6. This thread is even ANGRIER and I don't understand Linky

7. If I remove the from the Participant input thingy and save it, every thread ever is happy again. So I know its something wrong with that specifically XD

8. It's probably this in particular:

Code:

9. It is probably worth noting that MentionMe doesn't seem to work in the 'Post New Thread' or the full 'New Reply' pages - only in the Quick Reply and the Participants boxes. This is not the case on my other site (it works everywhere, there)

Its almost 230am I am going to bed. But um... Help please?

Portal Latest Posts + xThreads Prefixes

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 10:53:28 -0500

Hey, look its me again xD

Okay, so I followed the tutorial posted 9 million years ago to make the Portal's latest Posts show up in my sidebar (linky) and it works perfectly.

My question, now, is how do I go about it using the {$GLOBALS['threadfields']['prefixes']} so it shows my xThread prefixes, instead of using the myBB prefix system? I like the xThreads because you can choose more than one prefix to fit the thread, whereas before I had to have 9 million Prefix options to cover everything in various combinations using the built in prefixes.

From what I can determine poking around the xThread site, the prefixes should show up on the Portal templates... but they're not? I figure I'm doing something wrong somewhere lol.

https://pern.second-pass.net/rp/portal.php -- you can see the portal itself, and then the threads are in the menu on the left.
https://pern.second-pass.net/rp/showthread.php?tid=5518 - this thread has a few random Prefixes attributed to it (note that they don't relate to the thread content lol; the thread is SFW)

portal_latestthreads_thread template

Code:

{$thread['subject']}


{$lang->latest_threads_lastpost} by {$lastposterlink}


Thread Contains: {$GLOBALS['threadfields']['prefixes']} 


{$lastpostdate}

Cheers loves. I'm off to bed XD

Broke Inline Moderation w/ xThreads?

Tue, 01 Oct 2024 12:16:09 -0500

Hey, so firstly its 3am so I probably made a dumb mistake somewhere and this is an easy fix... or its 3am so I really screwed it up lmao.

Okay, so -- I am using xThreads to make the forum pretty, and that all works. But I need to be able to move threads from A to B without actually going in and editing each one to move them... But when I tried to make the inline shit work, it told me to go jump xD

This is the forum looking.
Note that to the left under 'Mark this forum read' should eb the 'Select All' thing but it won't show up.
If I remove the {$inlinemod} from the threadlist template, I can check a check-box. When it is present, I cannot. But there isn't much point in selecting a box, when I can't do anything with it lmao.

My code templates are thus; Please let me know if you need more? You can see the specific area of the forum here.

1. I dont know why its saying 'Listed by characters:' because that is weird.
2. The Monthly Events board uses the exact same code (minus the edits I've been fussing with to get selections happening) but is all weird and not sitting properly and my 3am brain cannot figure out what I messed up there, so if you can tell, that'd be awesome, but I'm not entirely sure its visible to guests lmao

I am going to get some sleep now x.x
