Topic: [TIP/TRICK] Redirect To Announcement On Login

[[SiNaN]]

Question: How do I redirect the member on login to the last created topic in my announcement board, if he didn't read it yet?
Original Topic: -

../Sources/LogInOut.php

Find:

Code: [Select]

// Just log you back out if it's in maintenance mode and you AREN'T an admin.
if (empty($maintenance) || allowedTo('admin_forum'))
Replace:

Code: [Select]

// The board to look for.
$board = 1453;

// Get the last topic.
$request = db_query("
SELECT ID_TOPIC
FROM {$db_prefix}topics
WHERE ID_BOARD = $board
ORDER BY ID_TOPIC DESC
LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
list ($topic) = mysql_fetch_row($request);
mysql_free_result($request);

// Check if he read that topic.
$request = db_query("
SELECT ID_TOPIC
FROM {$db_prefix}log_topics
WHERE ID_TOPIC = $topic
AND ID_MEMBER = $ID_MEMBER
LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
list ($read) = mysql_fetch_row($request);
mysql_free_result($request);

// Just log you back out if it's in maintenance mode and you AREN'T an admin.
if((empty($maintenance) || allowedTo('admin_forum')) && empty($read))
redirectexit('topic=' . $topic . '.0');
elseif ((empty($maintenance) || allowedTo('admin_forum')) && !empty($read))
1453 should be change as the ID of the announcement board.

Wow, thank you so much,
But will this work on my forum??? I am using SMF 115

Yes, it only works on 1.1.5. Just change the $board with your announcement board ID.

Hi.
Will this trick work on 1.1.6? and can the redirect be to any board I choose?
Thanks as always.

[[SiNaN]]

Yes, it will work with 1.1.6. Just change the 1453 number as the ID of the board in the codes.

Try changing this:

Code: [Select]

// The board to look for.
$board = 1453;

// Get the last topic.
$request = db_query("
SELECT ID_TOPIC
FROM {$db_prefix}topics
WHERE ID_BOARD = $board
ORDER BY ID_TOPIC DESC
LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
list ($topic) = mysql_fetch_row($request);
mysql_free_result($request);
with this:

Code: [Select]

// The board to look for.
$board = 1453;

global $modSettings;

// Get the last topic
       $sql = $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
SELECT ID_TOPIC
                            FROM {$db_prefix}topics
                            WHERE ID_BOARD = $board
                            ORDER BY ID_TOPIC DESC
                            LIMIT 1",__FILE__, __LINE__);
                     $topic = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($sql);
         $smcFunc['db_free_result']($sql);
);
and tomorrow morning i'll check the other one if i can...
