Title: [SOLVED!] Announce a reply MOD
Post by: jossanaijr on September 18, 2007, 05:34:56 PM
I would like to have the possibility to announce a reply without modifying the first thread.

you can set your profile to give you notifications of replies, also you do not need to modify the first post to announce it you can do it before you submit it :)

Well there is no option to announce in my "Additional Options..." when I reply.  Only when I'm posting a new post.

Not impossible its a nice idea. Haven't looked at it myself but shouldn't be too hard to change or adapt.

create another topic with the same/similar name so people know what the subject is
post anything in it  eg 'test post'
then announce that topic
then merge the two topics together and delete the dummy 'test post' which would be the latest post in the thread, making it look like you just announced your original topic again.
do this as many times as necessary whenever you need to announce a topic that's already been announced

you're welcome - I do this a lot to get around the problem

Post by: jossanaijr on March 08, 2008, 08:19:45 AM
Well,
I just check if it is working fine but... NO

If I create and announce a new post with the same title.
And then Merge both posts.

When the user click in the email link of announcement the message appears:

An Error Has Occurred!
The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.

Its actually a very easy hack...

Open Themes/default/Post.template.php (or your custom theme's Post.template.php file)
Code (Find) Select
</tr>', $context['can_announce'] && $context['is_first_post'] ? '

and replace with
Code (Replace) Select
</tr>', $context['can_announce'] ? '


Thats it.
