Are there any screenshots, or a demo somewhere?

[ascaland]

Thanks for reminding me! Pictures have been added to the mod page.

Thanks, much appreciated! Looks nice and interesting... I think I'll give it a go

Wow! Cool thing! I Wish automatic hot links generation, by post count.

Is there a version for smf 2.0.2?

[1Chope]

Project Evolution do you mind making the mode compatible with 2.X.X version please

Sorry, I don't have the time to update it to the latest 2.0 version. But anyone else has my permission to modify it for 2.0 and release it as their own.

[1Chope]

Ok, I will take a look at the codes when I have free time, maybe I can modify it for 2.X.X version

[Gryzor]

That would be really nice

I accidently found a problem with this modification.

I went to remove a topic while in the message index, and I get this error:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 2
File: /***/Sources/RemoveTopic.php
Line: 290

This corresponds to this line:

Code Select Expand

WHERE id_topic $condition", __FILE__, __LINE__);

Strangely, it still deletes the topic, but it redirects to the error page. On the contrary, I do not experience this problem when deleting a topic while in topic view.

Found the solution

Find:

Code Select Expand

db_query("
DELETE FROM {$db_prefix}log_notify
WHERE ID_TOPIC $condition", __FILE__, __LINE__);

Add before:

Code Select Expand

// Delete hot link
db_query("DELETE FROM {$db_prefix}hot_forum_links
        WHERE id_topic $condition", __FILE__, __LINE__);

You got the error when you were trying to remove the topic? Very odd because I can't reproduce this on a test forum.

Can you describe the steps in detail for me, please?

I couldn't either on my test forum; could only be an anomaly in my forum since it is heavily modified.

I found another mistake on a fresh SMF install.

All other language strings work, except for this one
