Link to Mod (http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=263)
This modification adds the preview of the first post within a topic. The admin has the ability to choose the length of the preview within the Admin section under Posts & Topics. Please note the message preview length by default is set to 0, which renders no preview.
Package has been updated to version 1.8
Will this work on the Show unread posts since last visit (action=unread) page as well.
Thanks Works great.
Great idea! :)

Maybe this should be a core part. Great mod.
Can you make it for next relise, that user can configure how much caracters will show in preview?
Thanks again.
how many characters do show in preview? For me it looks like maybe the first line only?
Like the person above me says, it would be good to be able to increase this
Looks like it's the first 124 characters of a post.
I would like to increase this.
Any know how?
What would be the code for showing the newest post when you hover over the NEW box to the right of the thread title.
Currently it is:
echo '
<a href="', $topic['new_href'], '" id="newicon' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" border="0" /></a>';
I figured I could just add to it like this but it didn't work. What do I need to replace ['first_post] with? I also tried removing the alt= in there.
<span title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '"><a href="', $topic['new_href'], '" id="newicon' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" border="0" /></a></span>';
this works on default theme
how to make work in other theme? >:(
this smf sucks

Link to Mod (http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=263)
packaged up from the tips and tricks, this adds the preview of first message within topic
example:

Hmmm.. Doesn't appear to work with me.. Tried in both FF and IE... but got no joy.. I downloaded the latest package 0.2.5. ??? I am running SMF 1.1 RC2..I even tried turning off the phishing filter in IE and the pop up blockers in Both FF and IE but that didnt help either :(
Do I need to configure it or something?
Any news on felixibility of character # to be shown?
I have this installed on 1.1RC2, running Dilber MC theme. I have a few mods. Sometimes the message preview works, but most of the time it does not. Can anyone help? I'd like for this to work, it's a good mod. Thanks.
Open up MessageIndex.php and search for
LEFT(mf.body, 384) AS firstBody
Change 384 to a number.
Then search for
if ($smfFunc['strlen']($row['firstBody']) > 128)
$row['firstBody'] = $smfFunc['substr']($row['firstBody'], 0, 128) . '...'; and change 128 to a number.
Warning: Increasing this number decreases performance for the query. I don't recommend you do so.
What does these numbers represent? I'm asking so I can get an idea of what I should change them to. Thanks for your help too.
384 is the amount of characters that is selected from the database. 128 is the amount of characters that are displayed. You can just increase the 128 and not touch the query which is probably what you should do. Increase it to 384. I think there might also be a browser limit on alt tags. Not sure.
I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to post the -exact- changes that are made to the code in the MessageIndex.php file, so I could apply the same changes to the same MessageIndex.php file for the theme babylon? I'm asking the same question with a few other mods that work only with the default theme.
Worked without any problems on 1.1 RC3, thanks. :D
Can this be made to show pictures attached in that post ??

Just open the zip file, there should be a main file showing all the changes, search there for MessageIndex.php and it will show you the changes made.
Thank you both so much. That worked. I've just now run into the problem that the code the mod changes in the default theme isn't present in the babylon theme. So now I'm not sure what I have to add, or replace. Which I'm sure is the main problem most people have when trying to apply mods to any other theme except default.

Open up MessageIndex.php and search for
LEFT(mf.body, 384) AS firstBody
Change 384 to a number.
Then search for
if ($smfFunc['strlen']($row['firstBody']) > 128)
$row['firstBody'] = $smfFunc['substr']($row['firstBody'], 0, 128) . '...'; and change 128 to a number.
Warning: Increasing this number decreases performance for the query. I don't recommend you do so.
thanks, but I couldn't find any of that code. ???
Are the changes you posted for RC2 or RC3?
I am looking for template changes for Dilber MC on RC3..any ideas?
Thanks,

Does anyone know what to change in the Classic Theme, any version. I'm using 1.1 RC3.

Surely someone has found a way to add this to the Classic Theme. ???
I think instructions for applying any mod to a custom theme will work, won't they?

I know how to add it manually, I just don't know where to add the code in the classic theme. The way it is laid out is completely different than the default. It's not even close to the same or I could do it myself.

Thanks, Snork!! It works just as it should with no errors but I did get a couple of errors to show up in the error log while installing. It's something with the filename or path, I guess.
512: parseModification(): The filename 'Themes/classic/MessageIndex.template.php' is not a full path!

I have this installed on 1.1 RC3 and it's only working when I show unread posts, nowhere else. I'm using the Alien Nation Theme. Any ideas where to look to fix it?

It only installs for the default and now classic themes. I don't know that theme, but if a file isn't include in a custom theme then smf uses to the default theme file.

Open up MessageIndex.php and search for
LEFT(mf.body, 384) AS firstBody
Change 384 to a number.
Then search for
if ($smfFunc['strlen']($row['firstBody']) > 128)
$row['firstBody'] = $smfFunc['substr']($row['firstBody'], 0, 128) . '...'; and change 128 to a number.
Warning: Increasing this number decreases performance for the query. I don't recommend you do so.
thanks, but I couldn't find any of that code. ???
Anyone else not find this? Or am I retarded?
Are you looking in Messageindex.php (located in your sources folder) or are you looking in the template file? -- you should be in the sources folder
I think I was in the template file. I'll check the sources folder when I get back home. Thanks alot. (ps.-nice sigs. Do you make these?)

looking forward to 1.1.1 !
I am using default theme. I want to use the preview text thing you built. When I unzipped it I got two files Modification and package info. It looks as if Modification has all the code in it so I guess this is the one we suppose to use. Which template do I open up and where exactly does it go? Much appreciated
Just use the package manager in SMF.
Did that but I got a lot of red failures :(

I found this what number should I change this too or does it really matter?
That's just for changing the number of characters in the preview. No need to mess with that.
Be sure to make a backup of that file before you start editing just in case you need to go back to it.
Open your messageindex.template.php in the default folder.
Basically, you find this:
echo '
', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span>', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '</b>' : '';]]>
and replace that with this:
echo '
', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '"><span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span></span>', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '</b>' : '';
The other edits are for classic theme and for creating the hover over your recent posts page.
I'm using this for 1.1.1 but there are some errors. Sometimes the message preview appears inline, that is, the text preview is actually written beside the topic of the thread, it's not shown anymore when the mouse hovers over the title.
Anyone experiencing the same? How to solve this?

i do have an inline version, please check the mod. I would uninstall and try again with a freshly downloaded version.
Thanks snork. But I think having the preview inline clutters my board because of too many text that's why I prefer the preview on mouse over.
I hope someone can address my previous prob regarding some preview appearing as an inline text and not when the mouse hovers.

I'm having a problem which one of the SMF Support Specialists thinks might be tied to this mod.
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=147910.msg942417#msg942417
I'm running a newly upgraded 1.1.1 forum. When members use the "Show Unread Posts Since Last Visit" link, the results for topics that are Sticky display very strangely.
I have the following mods currently installed:
Mod Name Version
1. SMF 1.0.7 / 1.1 RC2 Update 1.0
2. MessagePreviewOnHover 1.4
3. SMF Staff Page 1.5.1
4. Enchanced post template 1.0.2
5. SMF Links 1.6.3
6. VisualWarning 1.31
7. Search Topic 1.01
8. Custom Profile Field Mod 3.16
9. View Only Boards 1.0
10. Ignore Boards 2.0.1
This is happening in both Firefox and IE. I am attaching a screen shot from each below.
This one has me baffled - I've tried searching here, but none of the results appear to apply to this particular issue.
Thanks for any guidance you can offer!
Exactly the same prob I had. I sent the files to snork13 so he could check but never heard from him after that.

Hi, folks!
We're using SMF 1.1 RC2, not default theme and polish language pack.
I've changed files by hand, but is not working.
Plese guys, tell me, why this mod doesn't working on myforum?
(check the attachements - I hope I mistyped something in one of this files)
TIA
Awesome. Installed in 2 seconds. works exactly as I had hoped. posted a link at tiny portal. later.
I'm running this modification and I like it! Great idea!
Like some others, I'd just want a safe way to increase the number of characters that come up. I'd like it to be maybe 350 or so.
Thanks!

try version 1.5, un-install the old version first!
PS. Also, the higher the preview characters, the slower your forum. Default is 128, but the query used 384 :P
-Snork13
Snork,
Thanks! I just uninstalled and reinstalled the modification, then upped the characters to 200.
Terrific work.
thx Snork13, great job for the good mod.. :D
Is it possible, or easy, to make this "hover effect" to follow the mouse movement (if you are over the link)? It´s not important but a cool feature. I think some javascript code that could make this possible.
My forum members love this modification!
Isn't it interesting, how sometimes a "simple" thing is what people love!
Makes me wonder, what other "simple" modifications are possible that could make a big difference?
Thanks again Snork.
The reason admin and members like this Mod...it allows you to pick and choose meaningful topics to open & saves so much time when you are browsing. As a Member Mod and Admin I love this feature.
Useless. Only works on default theme.
excellent mod. thanks for coding this.
great mod and i install easily in custom theme....
by the way, the preview message doesn't look good in firefox browser...anybody know the trick to solve it?
thanks a lot..
I had this working with RC3 and the helios theme, but the new helios theme to tie in with my upgraded 1.1.2 smf is quite different.
so if anyone has done this for the helios theme, I'd be grateful if they post it here.
Iff not, I can work it out myself at some stage and will post the change here when it works.

Just unzipped the modification file and check the xml modification for the changes. You are using a custom theme which may not have the exact code. It should be close to the same though :)

OK.
On firefox :
Test it with this: View menu --> Character encoding --> Auto-Detect --> Universal.
Part of the problem looks like a UTF-8 issue to me.
Thank you Sarge, but it's the same thing with
"View menu --> Character encoding --> Auto-Detect --> Universal."
Problem is the same in my place (firefox 2) and at work (firefox 1.5).
Try View-Character Encoding- then try several of those 6 in that list at the bottom. Mine is on UTF-8. You'll have to refresh the page after you change it.
Yes, set Auto-Detect --> Universal and then try some actual encodings. I'd start with Western (ISO-8859-1) and Unicode (UTF-8). Maybe your template specifies a different character set, for example ISO-8859-15.
May we see the URL for your forum?

Thank you so much for helping me,
but when I refresh it returns on the original encoding (occidental ISO).
But I tried all the encodings.
Anyway, I really don't think this is a character encoding problem.
You say that because of the tiny black characters representing the "enter" key,
which look like the tiny black diamond with questionmark when it's character encoding related.
I'm surprised nobody else has the same problem.
Maybe it comes from the french version of Firefox,
since my forum members have it too.
I will try with another version.
Sarge, I send you my forum address by PM since it's my old forum's next upgrade (30 000 members) and I don't wanna give the link in public before it's finished.
Thank you all.
OK, I got the link via PM. Here's how "Welcome to SMF!" in your forum looks in my Firefox 2.0.0.3 (no black squares!):
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg360.imageshack.us%2Fimg360%2F3110%2Fff2zp3.png&hash=d5d05309d96ee5953bf9597d6c6d836f46064110)
and in Internet Explorer 7.0:
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg137.imageshack.us%2Fimg137%2F8418%2Fie7hc9.png&hash=e7ae21c9df274fad930d370d51e436a9b0d0842e)
Also, here's how another topic preview looks like in FF2 and IE7:
FF2:
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg479.imageshack.us%2Fimg479%2F107%2Fmodff2ht2.png&hash=c34618ef3ae1608b30d2f7ec0952333308fe4306)
IE7:
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg295.imageshack.us%2Fimg295%2F707%2Fmodie7xm5.png&hash=5f2f59fd3b69072af467e84303ad7e11f3dc652f)
Notice how FF2 displays only a small part of the message, whereas IE7 displays all of it; also, line breaks don't display in FF2, but they show up fine in IE7.
As I told you in PM, the black squares are not my biggest problem,
even if it's connectable to the big problem :
Firefox doesn't display 384 characters as I asked in the admin panel !!!
Thanks for your interest.

you may need to install manually, it would seem another mod is conflicting with the code changes.
Love the mod, and so do the members. I have about 20 members using Babylon though, and they don't have the feature. Maybe I've missed it in a previous post, but how do I get this feature to work in Babylon?
TIA!
Mods, in general, only install themselves on the default theme.
On any other theme, you will have to manually apply the mod code.
In this case, the doce would need to be updated in the babylon theme's messageindex.template.php.

I knew I would have to do something manually... I installed flashchat, and had to make it work in Babylon. I am a novice, and after about 2 hours...I actually got it to work (complete with a button and all).
I guess I missed what, I needed to do in order to get the Mouseover to work in Babylon. I have been searching for the code to put in, and I am either blind, stupid or both!
nah, not either... just a newbie. :) (which is curable)
look at the mod files for this mod and look in the install.XML file (or something similarly named... but not the packageinfo.xml)

See... I found ALL of that, and now I just need to know what to do with it!!! I swear you guys are wizards and breeze through this with ease, but I have NO clue, and I am trying to do this on my own so that I learn what I am doing. Getting pointed down the right path is always my first step, once I am where I need to be, I can do the modifications. It took awhile with flashchat, but I was able to do it without having to post any requests for help. This is not as easy believe it or not, because it isn't really spelled out as clearly.
Use SMF Package Parser to see what changes are done by the mod:
http://sleepycode.com/index.php?action=modparser
Select "Install" and "Only Theme edits" to show changes to themes. You need to apply those changes to Babylon theme.
Keep in mind that find and replace changes might need to be adapted a bit in order to work for Babylon.

Thanks Sarge. I guess knowing how to adapt would be helpful. I think that I will keep browsing, and maybe I can find what I need to do, or else the Babylon users will just have to do without lest I screw the pooch on my forum.
Thanks again for your input Kindred and Sarge

In Themes/babylon/MessageIndex.template.php
Find:
<span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span>';
Replace with:
<span title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '"><span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span></span>';
In Themes/babylon/Recent.template.php
Find:
' . $topic['first_post']['link'] . ' <a href="' . $topic['new_href'] . '"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/new.gif" alt="' . $txt[302] . '" border="0" /></a> <span class="smalltext">' . $topic['pages'] . '</span>
Replace with:
' . '<span title="' . $topic['first_post']['preview'] . '">' . $topic['first_post']['link'] . '</span> <a href="' . $topic['new_href'] . '"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/new.gif" alt="' . $txt[302] . '" border="0" /></a> <span class="smalltext">' . $topic['pages'] . '</span>
Since Babylon doesn't have an Admin.template.php and the corresponding languages/Admin.english.php, it will use the ones from the default theme, which are already modified. ;)
Here goes nothing...
I'll let you know what happens
I'm creating an installable mod package to add Babylon changes for the original mod (which of course should be installed first), so that you won't have to modify SMF code directly.
I'll post it in a few minutes.
LOL! It shows the whole post on the front page of the board! Back to the drawing board.
OK, I created the additional mod with the changes listed above. I attached it here for you to modify as necessary. You can install it through Package Manager.
I will fix it later, though... unless someone beats me to it. :P
Sarge!!!
I could just kiss you right now for saving me hours of frustration!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Most SMF 1.1.2 mods should work on 1.1.3 without any modification.
If Package Manager refuses to install the mod because it is made for an older version, try adding
;version_emulate=1.1.2 to the Package Manager URL. The link should be something like:
http://www.yourforum.com/index.php?action=packages;version_emulate=1.1.2

okey thanks for replying.

Ok thanks. I read it, but I am somewhat of a newbie. How many lines and or files am I looking at having to edit to enable the chat program with this Theme?
I am trying to get an idea if this is easy/medium/hard to do.
Juan more question please. I added the chat mod and I also cannot see it under the Dilber MC theme. Is it the same procedure?

This is the discussion topic for the MessagePreviewOnMouseHover mod, not for a chat mod.
I have added the mod to Dilber MC and I have coded the changes into a mod package; if
snork13 allows me, I can post the mod package, which adds MessagePreviewOnMouseHover functionality to the Dilber MC theme -- only Dilber MC theme changes are installed, nothing else.

I'm using the default theme and version 1.1.3 of the SMF forum, but I get an error when I attempt to install this mod. The error is as follows:
3. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/Admin.template.php Test failed
I'm thinking maybe some other mod I've installed is causing a conflict, so here's my current list of installed mods:
1. Increase/Decrease Postbox Size 1.0
2. British English Spelling Of Centre & Colour BBCode 1.0
3. SMF 1.0.11 / 1.1.3 Update 1.1
4. YouTube BBC Tag (XHTML Compliant) 1.2
5. Spoiler Tag 0.3.2
6. Wrap Text Around Image 1.0
7. All Topics Unsubscriber 1.1
8. GoogleVideo BBCode by Yakuza 0.1
9. Enhanced Calendar 1.1
10. Spam Me Not Mod 1.02
11. Mod List Color Alternate 1.0
12. Profile Comments 1.2.1
Any ideas?
Cheers!

You will need to make the changes to that file manually.

I can't follow the instructions in the link you gave me. I can't find the <operation> tags in the XML file, and after that I just get lost. I installed the mod regardless of the error and it appears to be working. I guess it will do! hehe
Cheers.

joe123, download the supplemental mod package attached to this post and upload it to Package Manager.
Just like the supplement for Babylon, this is a supplemental mod that adds MessagePreviewOnHover to the Dilber MC theme. Of course, both MessagePreviewOn Hover and Dilber MC must be installed for this mod to work.
This mod assumes that Dilber MC is installed in Themes/dilbermc/ -- if the theme is installed elsewhere, open messagepreview_dilbermc.xml (part of this mod package) and change
dilbermc in "$boarddir/Themes/
dilbermc/MessageIndex.template.php" to the correct directory name.
Let me know if it works for you.
Update: The attached package now works on SMF 1.1.4 and 1.1.5.
Any chance to update this to work on 1.1.4? It seems to work on a forum that was upgraded from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4, but it doesn't want to install on a fresh 1.1.4 forum.

How can I adapt that to install to the Babylon, Christmas Season 1.1, YaBB Classic and the Scribbles themes all at once? Or do I have to execute it for each one? If so, how do I do that? (If I do it for each one, SMF will just overwrite the package. with the new dilbermc skin.)

As you can see, you need a supplemental mod for every theme you want. If you're unable to create mod packages, you could try asking someone to do that for you, or you can modify the themes manually.

Have you tried SMF Mod Parser (http://sleepycode.com/PackageParser/index.php)? Upload the mod there, choose your SMF version, select "Only Theme edits" and click the Send File button. The instructions are extracted from the XML but are presented in plain English.
Excellent and very easy to install and manage.
This is a great mod. I just have a question though. with regard to SEO. will this mod be NOT against google webmaster guidelines
thanks
Just afraid being banned on google SERP
Ok I changed themes to Dilber MC and tried to install the mod that Sarge had updated to work with it. I get an error message
"The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF."
I am running 1.1.4
Will someone Please help me.

Any chance you could do that mod thing for the Classic theme? It would be awesome if you could.

If anyone is having too short message previews (tooltips) in Firefox and Mozilla but normal length in Internet Explorer, you need to be aware that this is a Firefox/Mozilla bug, not a mod issue. What happens is that the text in the title attribute (used by the mod to display message previews) gets truncated. This is a known bug and is fixed in Firefox 3.0 alpha4, I believe.
A workaround in Firefox 2 is to install an add-on to fix the issue. Long Title (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1715) is such an add-on.

and are you running the default theme?
No, a modified YaBB one. Are there instructions somewhere for that? I didn't see them in the mod post or here in the comments and there's no readme file.
I can see if I can tell you what to change what version are you running
How difficult would it be to modify this package to work with tinyportal's recent posts block?
I have a problem... and I didn't realize it before because I always look at my board logged in... well, I'm using this mod Hidden for guest (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=756) and when I use it on the first post it throws all the layout of the MessageIndex.template.php, first I thought it was a template problem but then I switched to the default and the problem persisted... is there a way to parse the [logged]...[/logged] from that first post?
Thanks!

I don't know what that mod does, but I think the problem is caused by that mod. My mod doesn't change the layout, just gives a preview.
-snork13
Thanks Snork13, I think I have a "fix" for now... thanks to your mod we can decide how many letters to display in the preview... I had 500 well, I changed it to 100 and I tried to move the hidden text to later on in the post, and the problem was gone. Anyway, I'll contact the writer of the Hidden for Guest and suggest him the issue.
Thanks a lot!
Snork,
First of all, thanks for developing this mod. I want to know if the follow is possible:
What im looking for is best described in the picture below. This mod would mostly be used for forums that display galleries from the free photo hosting site, www.imagevenue.com.
How it works is that you place your cursor on the link and it gives you a few thumbnail popups of what the gallery looks like.
I've spoken to the Admin. of the site (pictured below) and asked him for some info about this mod of his. It sounds like he just paid for someone to do it for him. He didnt know much about the script. This is one nice mod and im looking for someone that can write a script for this. Im pretty certain that this script is tailored to only show www.imagevenue.com images, and that's what i would like.

Update:
I have updated this mod for SMF 2.0 Beta 3 Public. Please report any bugs to this thread. New version is 1.7
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=263
-snork13
I just installed this mod, terriffic!! thanks..
but i have a question: on ie (with the mod set at 500) i get a bunch of words in the pop up, but on ff i only get maybe a good sentence.. is this how it is supposed to work?? 8)
if you need the domain addy, i would rather pm it at this time as it isnt set up for visitors yet.. thanks!!
I tried to install the mod on Mercury-Theme, but without any result.
The changes would be made in the default theme, but in my Mercury-Theme I don´t have all the files, there are only the following files:
BoardIndex.template
Display.template
index
index.template
theme_info
Themes.template
make the changes in the files your theme DOES have.
Hello,
I really like this modification, but when I try to install it in 2.0 beta 3.1, I get this message:
"The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF."

It's not updated for 2.0

In reply #175, snork13 wrote, "I have updated this mod for SMF 2.0. "

ok... it's not updated for smf 2.0 beta 3.1
When do you anticipate being able to include compatibility with 1.1.5?

It's a Firefox bug. Read reply #161 in this topic for an explanation and a possible solution.

snork13 will probably update the mod, but meanwhile you can try adding
;version_emulate=1.1.4 to the Package Manager URL. The link should be something like:
http://www.yourforum.com/index.php?action=packages;version_emulate=1.1.4
Then try to install the mod.
Tried it, and it installs successfully, however, mod does not work. also, in the admin, i get this:
Are you using English-utf8 or another language? If so, add these:
$txt['hoverLength_desc'] = 'Length of the message preview on hover';
$txt['hoverCharacters'] = 'characters';
at the bottom of Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php or Themes/default/languages/Admin.<your_language>.php, but before the ?> tag.

Excellent, thanks... That solved the problem in admin (Have plenty of this kind of problem with other mods.. drives me insane).
Unfortunately, I still have no preview on mouse over...
any ideas? what other info do you need from me?
btw, you asked if i was using english-utf8 or another language... I'm using english-utf8. do i have any alternatives? particularly ones that would aviod this exact issue with other mods...?
use english

will that help in preventing mods from installing incorrectly (on the admin section)? I want to try and avoid having blank options all over the show...
I have set the forum to english. actually have no idea why is was on utf8 to begin with. what is the difference? what is utf8?

Also read the UTF-8 Readme (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=865).
1) Did you install SMF via Fantastico or some other third-party software? Nothing wrong with it (Fantastico has permission to do that), but there could be some differences in the way SMF is set up, including UTF-8 support.
2) In SMF Admin > Forum Maintenance, do you see "Convert the database and data to UTF-8" or do you see "Convert HTML entities to UTF-8 characters"?
1. Installed by Fantastico, yes.
2. I see:
QuoteConvert HTML-entities to UTF-8 characters
but I have never used it because i was unsure what it does.

I am trying to install this mod manually on the Aero79 theme (smf 1.1.5). The XML file is telling me to make changes in Recent.template.php which doesnt exist on this particular theme.
What now?
did you run the automatic install?
Normally, for mods: run the auto-install (this will install it into the sources and default theme., then do manual installation on any file which failed the auto-install test or any files in alternate themes.
If a template files does not exist in a theme, then the system uses the default theme version of that file.
Interesting. Thank you.
Could u help me install this on Kelo-lt?
I can get the mod installed through the methods in this topic on an SMF 1.1.5 forum, however I still cannot get the mod to work. Are there any suggestions? I've checked through the various files needed to be changed, and they appear to be in place, however there is no functionality.
Thank-you in advance.
Manuelbat, does the mod functionality appear when using the default theme (SMF Default Theme - Core)?
It doesn't appear to. In a moment, I'll try disabling the other hover mods I have to see if they're interfering with it. Addendum: Disabled BoardHoverMod, the preview still didn't work. Might there have been something I overlooked?
can you make this one compatible with smf 1.1.5! Please! I really need this one!
Thanks!
We would like to seen a update on this mod for 1.1.5 , As when you upgrade to the new mod , now puts this mod incompatiable to use .
Yes, PLEASE make this compatible with 1.1.5!!!! It's the most requested feature on my board!
I used this mod in my dilber mc, smf 1.1.5 and works great.
Quote from: fangweile on June 20, 2008, 01:04:44 AM
I used this mod in my dilber mc, smf 1.1.5 and works great.
HOW did you get it to work??? It works fine in the default theme but I use dilber mc as well and I've just spent the last hour doing everything suggested here and going over and over the code I can't get it to work! HELP!
Ok it works on Show unread posts since last visit and Show new replies to your posts but not if you just go into the forum and hover over a topic. Very strange and very frustrating!
Make sure the you added and modified the required codes in your dilber mc files.
MessageIndex.template.php
I did...the code it said to replace didn't exist though and when I just added it I got errors. *sigh*
as with any theme other than the default.... you may have to tweak the code to fit into your own theme correctly.
I've had my message board a week, I'm not exactly a genius at code (although I'm not totally inept either). How do I know WHICH code to tweak...and tweak it HOW? Like I said...it's working on the Show unread posts since last visit and Show new replies to your posts just not if you go into the topic on the board.
And do I use the code for 1.1.4?
The error I got said something about a string...
you can't just randomly paste code in and expect it to work.
The Show unread posts since last visit and Show new replies to your posts works because those files are using the default theme versions.... your messageindex.template.php has been altered (and hence redefined) in your theme... so the default installation doesn't work.
When you paste code, you have to make sure that the code closes strings, conditionals, etc correctly....
Well I excpect the instructions and suggested code to work. I've successfully installed 15+ other mods while altering code for the theme I'm using so it's not like I'm totally clueless.
So the instructions for MessageIndex.template.php say to find this code:
echo ' ', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], (!$context['can_approve_posts'] && !$topic['approved'] ? ' <em>(' . $txt['awaiting_approval'] . ')</em>' : ''), '</span>', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '</b>' : '';
Which doesn't exist in my file - and to replace it with this code:
echo ' ', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '"><span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], (!$context['can_approve_posts'] && !$topic['approved'] ? ' <em>(' . $txt['awaiting_approval'] . ')</em>' : ''), '</span></span>', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '</b>' : '';
Well where the heck do I put this code??? I've tried placing it in several different places only to get errors like this one...
Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the /Themes/dilbermc/MessageIndex.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.
You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.
syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'
So is the code wrong or am I putting it in the wrong place or both or what?! >:(
You will simply insert this code:
Find:
'<span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span>'
Replace with:
'<span title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '"><span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">'
Hope it works
Here is my dilbermc messageindex.template.php modified files looks like:
if (!empty($settings['seperate_sticky_lock']))
echo '
' , $topic['is_locked'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/quick_lock.gif" align="right" alt="" id="lockicon' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '" style="margin: 0;" />' : '' , '
' , $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/show_sticky.gif" align="right" alt="" id="stickyicon' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '" style="margin: 0;" />' : '';
echo '
', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '"><span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span></span>', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '</b>' : '';

To those that are looking to install this mod into the Dilber MC theme: Please use the SEARCH button.
I created a supplemental mod package for this some time ago. I just updated it for SMF 1.1.5:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=69184.msg1247777#msg1247777
It's up to snork13 (the author of the MessagePreviewOnMouseOver mod) to update his mod for the latest SMF versions, but it works on SMF 1.1.5 without modification. Before installing this mod, open Package Manager with ;version_emulate=1.1.4 at the end of the URL:
http://www.yoursite.com/forum/index.php?action=packages;version_emulate=1.1.4
This will fool Package Manager into "thinking" that the SMF version is 1.1.4 (the latest supported by the mod) and it will accept the mod package. (Ignore the SMF update notification.) After the mod is installed, add ;version_emulate=1.1.5 (or whatever your SMF version is) to the Package Manager URL.
Please search this topic and the forum before asking questions!
i have smf1.1.5 and tp 1.0.5 beta, I have uploaded this mod and it was successful but for the life of me I cant find it to make it work
any suggestions please? (default theme as I am a little silly to start using on other theme, I may end up breaking my forum again ;) )

Hi
For what are the images good, and why need i to install this oO. (It's unlogical to me, because they are not used by the mod).
So here is a german Translation for this small and nice mod ;).

Has anybody altered this mod to show the text of the last post in a topic, rather than the text of the first post?
I suspect this might be more useful in some circumstances?

This doesn't have anything to do with which post is shown. This mod is to show the contents of a message when you hover over its link in the message index.
Hmmm - not sure i've explained it very well then - I know what it does, i have it installed and it's a great mod :)
But what i mean is: when you hover over the topic title you get the first x characters of the topic, i.e. the first text of the first post.
On some occasions it would be more useful to show the first text of the last post, not the first post.
There used to be a mod for phpBB which gave you the option of choosing first/last which is why I ask how hard it would be to do.

If i look through the code it should be possible because smf store also the last post in the array, but it will not work everywhere where the mod insert this ;). It depend on the time of the author to insert this into the mod *g*.

Ah thanks - if SMF stores the last post it should be possible without too much modification. It'd be good to have this as an option from the admin panel - I need to return to programming and have a go :)

Did you try changing where it says first_post to last_post? I haven't tested it but it'd be worth a try.
For those who want to install this mod on SMF 1.1.5 and don't want to use the version emulation trick (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=69184.msg1587425#msg1587425), follow this procedure:
1. Download the mod package from the Mod Site (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=263) onto your computer.
2. Extract the contents of the .zip package onto a new (empty) directory.
3. Open
package-info.xml in a text editor.
4. Replace this:
<install for="1.1.4">
with this:
<install for="1.1.4, 1.1.5">
Also replace this:
<uninstall for="1.1.4">
with:
<uninstall for="1.1.4, 1.1.5">
This enables the mod to get installed on either SMF 1.1.4 or 1.1.5.
5. Save your modified package-info.xml with the same name.
6. Either:
- update the .zip package you download with your modified copy of package-info.xml, or
- create a new .zip package (archive) that contains all the original files and directories, but with your modified copy of package-info.xml instead of the original.
Be sure to use the "Normal" compression method (if your compression program has such an option) when updating or creating the package!
7. Upload this new package to Package Manager from SMF Admin > Packages > Download Packages tab > "Package to upload".

More exactly, first_post needs to be replaced with last_post
only in $topic['first_post']['preview'].
In other words, replace:
$topic['first_post']['preview']
with:
$topic['last_post']['preview']
You have to do this in MessageIndex.template.php and Recent.template.php, of course after the mod is installed.
For SMF 1.1.5, you can also do these changes in the mod package itself; follow the instructions in my previous post, but modify
modification_1.xml, not package-info.xml.
Thanks for that explanation :)
I Installed on 1.1.5, Black45 theme - Not a single problem, after modifying the package-info.xml as posted above.
Great Mod!!
The Chief
There is no option to uninstall the mod. Only to delete it. Is it normal?
I have deleted the files but the mod hasn't been uninstalled. How can i uninstall it manually?
(deleting the files has nothing at all to do with the installation of the mod, as you discovered... the mod makes changes in the forum files....)
You will have to go into the code and manually undo the changes made by the mod...
Go to the mod download page and view the manual install instructions and then reverse them

Great! Nice Mod! I to installed on 1.15 and everything is in tip top shape! Thanks!
Absolutely SPLENDID mod, and worked PERFECTLY THE FIRST TIME with Sarge's advice on editing the XML file, since I'm running 1.1.5. Checked it in default SMF Theme, and it's great. No ticks, no hiccups, NOTHING! :)
Any suggestions on what files to alter to get it to work with my theme...Aa New Damage?
I'm gonna scour this thread again and see if I can't find something. I'm new to modding the code or doing anything other than slapping on a new theme now and then.
GREAT mod!
Tried to install on 2.0...
"The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF"

How do you do that?
I downloaded the package, opened up the archive file with Winzip, WinRAR, etc, opened the package-info.xml file.
Find:
<install for="1.1.4">
Replace with:
<install for="1.1.4, 1.1.6">
Find:
<uninstall for="1.1.4">
Replace with:
<uninstall for="1.1.4, 1.1.6">
Save the package-info-xml file and make sure the archive is updated with this new copy.
Then upload and install that package as you normally would.
*note: I have nothing to do with this mod, and only know a wee bit about this stuff... so if something about this mod actually breaks 1.1.6, it's not my fault. lol I did install it on our 1.1.6 forum and so far it's working great.
Ok, great. Thanks.
would you please update this for version 1.1.6 ?
First,sorry for my bad english. Snork13 can you reform this mod and integrate this css http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/imagetooltip.htm# in mod. I need something like this: when i cross over the topic i would like to show me a thumbnail of the first picture in that topic.
Bump for updating for 1.1.7. I really like this mod. Simple, but very useful.
Thx ! Works like a charm on 1.1.7 8)
i cannot find this code in the "Classic" Theme.
echo '
', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span>', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '</b>' : '';
It should be in the messageindex.template.php.... can you help please..
I apologize if this has been discussed prior to my posting, but I thought maybe this could be a different situation.
I just installed this mod onto my forum, and it worked the first few times I hovered over topics, but then it stopped working. It no longer will show the text when hovering.
Any ideas regarding what could be happening here?
[edit]
Alright, so I have been noticing that the mod is working on occasion. Sometimes it will show the hover text, but more so it doesn't. I'm not sure what the problem is.. since it does work on occasion. It seems to be that the only time that the hover text appears is in the all unread topics page, but not in the regular sections of the forum.
Also, I'm using 1.1.7
Great mod!

If this is the 1.x version then this might help. I have an old classic theme that I don't use anymore that I
believe I added this mod to. This is the section that would have been altered. Compare it to yours and see if it helps.

I have the Look But No Read mod installed with a selection of boards guests are able to see topics but not able to read them. With this mod installed, they are still able to hover over the title and see the preview members see. Is there any easy way to make it where only members are able to see the preview? I've tried a few different things but so far I've had no luck.
<td class="windowbg" valign="middle" width="42%">
<span title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span> ', $topic['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged'] ? '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic['id'] .

@unrelenting
Great thanks to you, thats the code which was to be added in the place where you have shown. I just did it and it works perfectly. Thank you again.
how can we put the horizontal line between the topic and msg? also in different background for each other?
Anybody can make msg preview on mouse over like PHPFusion one.

There is a topic section at the top and the bottom there is a preview content.
how do i install these on other themes? thanks
qubbah,
you would have to experiment with the CSS
Jazelle,
You will have to manually edit the other themes' messageindex.template.php
Nice Mod! Thanks

If anyone is having too short message previews (tooltips) in Firefox and Mozilla but normal length in Internet Explorer, you need to be aware that this is a Firefox/Mozilla bug, not a mod issue. What happens is that the text in the title attribute (used by the mod to display message previews) gets truncated. This is a known bug and is fixed in Firefox 3.0 alpha4, I believe.
A workaround in Firefox 2 is to install an add-on to fix the issue. Long Title (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1715) is such an add-on.
I have firefox 3.0.5 and it's works the same way firefox 2.0.0.16, how can I solved this ?
I have a sugestion for a next version that this works also on table of recent posts :P
I have a little problem, the preview shows the BBC tags and i'm using the registered links mod, so guests can see links in the preview what is not a good thing...
Anyone with a solution?
not really... it's a case of conflicting mods...
I suppose you could check permissions before displaying the mouseover preview.
Don't appear the "..." here, somebody can help me?
A mistake in the past and the mod is not appearing in the packages of the admin section, but it works! Do you think that i will have a problem if i upgrade my forum to smf 2.0 RC1?
in an major upgrade, ALL mods must be re-applied because all forum files are replaced.
So it is not necessary to uninstall them first, right?
nope
hmmm so i will have a problem if i don't unintall it. Any ideas how can i solve it?
nope, in this case was agreeing with you... it is NOT necesarry to uninstall mods during a major upgrade.
thank you very much
Works like a charm. Thanks!
I installed with package manager and no errors. I change to default and things work great, but when I use my theme DB_Theme, I get nothing. this is the code line I have been trying edit, but to no avail. Please let me know what I am doing wrong...
<td class="windowbg' , !empty($settings['seperate_sticky_lock']) && $topic['is_sticky'] ? '3' : '' , '" valign="middle" ', (!empty($topic['quick_mod']['remove']) ? 'id="topic_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '" onmouseout="mouse_on_div = 0;" onmouseover="mouse_on_div = 1;" ondblclick="modify_topic(\'' . $topic['id'] . '\', \'' . $topic['first_post']['id'] .

I am using 1.1.8
Thanks
Still no luck....
can you attach the file please, so i can take a look
Here is my message file, let me know if you need my board file for my theme....

Hello all!?
I liked this one so much, I was installing it after moving my forum.
Unfortunately it returns an error on installing:
Duplicate entry 'hover_length' for key 'PRIMARY'
Bestand: ...r\forum\Packages\temp\addMessagePreview_settings.php

I made a fresh install of smf2.0rc1, imported the database and installed the following packages before this one:
1. Aeva ~ Auto-Embed Video & Audio
2. Attachments In Message
3. Enhanced PM Warning Message
Please advice me on what to do?

you need to remove the entry from the database, you didn't uninstall the mod correctly.
Thank you for that rapid response! I installed a fresh SMF, and then imported the database.. I indeed forgot to uninstall the mods!

can you be more specific? I guess I need to do something in php? That's not my 'piece of cake' if you know what I mean?

I did some playing around and it works great on both themes....
Hi snork13 & thanks for this mod. Just what some of my members have been asking for. Did the full package install, but had to do a manual for the recent.template.php because I had previously modified that line of code to move the new.gif to the front of the line. Works great in both of my themes.
However just one little problem. The variable size text window works just fine in the main topic display (I have it set to 256), but is stuck on 128 for the recent displays. Is this standard op or did I miss something when I edited the recent template?

OK cool, thought I'd missed something. Good mod & thanks for doing it.
I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this.... I am running 2.0 RC1, this mod installs without an error, but doesn't work. firebug shows no errors, I'm not really sure what to look for.
I do have a number of modifications installed on the forums though. What should I look for to see if this is trying to work or what?
I have the forums wrapped up in Joomla, I've tried them unwrapped, same thing... nothing. I have set the preview length to 128, 256 and now it's at 384, but still nothing. In the console for firebug I don't even see an event of any kind being triggered on mouseover, should I?

are you using the default theme?
yea.... that was it, sry for the noobish question. I changed :
$settings['message_index_preview'] = true;
in my modified index.template.php and it's fine now. I have only a few files, 99% of them are pulling from default, I forgot about that one :)
Thanks
Fantastic addition to the forum.
Hello -
Cool mod - works exactly as I want it to, with only one problem - it does not work in Firefox, which most of the users on my site use. Okay, scratch that, as I was just checking all the rest of the browsers (Opera, Safari, Chrome) none of them work. So I went back to IE, and now it is not working anymore either, but I have made no changes. That is weird though, because I KNOW what it was working in IE only. Anybody have any ideas as to why? And yes, I have the character count set to like 384 or something like that.
Mike
EDIT: Wait a moment...is this theme specific? I am using a different theme than default. I didn't even think of that (duh!) I will look to see what I can find.
this would have to be applied separately to any theme with its own copy of messageIndex.template.php
Yeah, I am checking out the xml files for manual mod now, unless there is an easier way.
Mike
Okay, not sure what I am missing here, or it it will even work with my theme. I am currently using DilberMC for my forums theme - in the xml file of the mod it asks me to replace some code in the $themedir/Recent.template.php. My theme does not have this file. Does this mean that that theme defaults to another Recent.template.php file somewhere else? Or will it not work in this theme?
I also do not have a couple of the others as well in my theme folder. I also do not have the line $settings['message_index_preview'] = false;
IN my index.template.php either (which is listed in the modification_2.xml of the mod. <<--EDIT I must be more tired than I thought. I just looked at the package info and realize this is for the beta version (2.0) of SMF.
But still the first part of my message is true!
EDIT: :D I SWEAR I am not drunk (or crazy) even though I have been having a conversation with myself here - adding that one line in the MessageIndex.template.php solved the problem for the DilberMX theme.
Mike

I have no plans for this feature. You are welcome to give it a whirl though.
-snork13
Very nice mod thanks. ;D
Works fine for me 2.0 RC1 with custom theme.
Downloaded package installed no errors then changed in my custom theme Index.template.php
$settings['message_index_preview'] = false;
to
$settings['message_index_preview'] = true;
How do I make it so anywhere in the topic title box I put the cursor it makes it show up?
Right now you have to directly put it on the topic title. Kinda going for the idea like boardhover mod does to make it able so you can click anywhere in the box to enter the topic.
Maybe also another tip is that it does this also when you put the cursor on the last post as well not just the subject like it is setup to do.
Is There Anyway I Can Integrate this so when search results come Up I can preview them also? Thanks A Bunch
I'm running SMF 1.1.9 and I wanted to update from the older version 1.0.5 to 1.0.7. I manually uninstalled the older version and when I tried to apply the mod I get this error:
"The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF."
What should I do?
open the package-info.xml (extract the zip file to see this file) open it with notepad or a like program. Where it says "Install for =" and "Unistall for =" change to "1.1.9" (from w/e the current number is there probably 1.1.8 )
Yay! It works now thanks!!!
Learnt something new. :)
Just wondering does this mod allows preview on the recent posts in the forum's Info Center? I noticed it works for me only in the topics listing.
either use the emulate 1.1.8 command or add 1.1.9 into the install.xml file inside the mod package

Snork,
How can I get it to work like the 'board hover" mod works? Like if I place my mouse anywhere in the area (the square) of the title, not just directly on the name? Prac the same exact ways the board hover mod works just it shows the preview message.

Ok thanks
work good in my 1.1.9
i change 1.1.8 to 1.1.9 in install.xml but no wgetting this messageAn Error Has Occurred!
The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted. can someone help me
looks like your archive program is using an improper format. What are you using to re-zip the xml file into the archive?
i am using winzip11 to unzip the file
yup... that would be the problem... for some reason, the smf unzip parser does not like winzip files.
ALZip is good ... try that

Extract the zip file open the package-info in a notepad ++ or similar. Then change the install for and uninstall for to 2.0 RC1-1. Save Rezip with the same zip file name upload and enjoy.
Not got the hang of notepad++ yet.
The mouseover function only works when you are hovering on a post within a sub forum but doesn't work on yourwebforum/index.php?action=unread;all;start=0
Is there a fix for this?
I'm using SMF 1.1.9
you would have to edit recent.template.php the same way that messageindex.template.php was edited... the mod only targets the messages in the boards, not in the recent posts.
Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
I upgraded to 2.0RC1-1 and installed this mod, yet i dont see the setting in the Post and Topcs section in the admin...
This mod says it's compatible with 2.0....!?!
Hello? Is there not anyone using this on 2.0?
thanks by this mod but this is posible whit mouse over? what is the necesary code?
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg177.imagevenue.com%2Floc491%2Fth_06318_untitled_122_491lo.JPG&hash=36a4726a6f5263d6951cb365b74b70055eae092e) (http://img177.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc491&image=06318_untitled_122_491lo.JPG)
it might be possible, but it would require a significant amount of coding different from this mod. This mod just pulls up the first bit of message content, nothing with images
thanks for your reply Kindred, perhaps it would be good if someone made a mod that would allow that option, because like me, many of us would be helpful. :)
personally, I don't see the use for it. :P
However, I suggest you make a post over in the mods wanted board. :)
everything seems okay including my own admin language file
"Length of the message preview on hover:" is also set to 228 :) but it is not still working? do i need any action such as enabling it?

works for me on smf 2.0RC1.2

Kindred.
I have got this mod installed yet despite checking all the files manual edits ( it installed with no errors) I am unable to use this on the forum.
Is there something missing?
are you using a custom theme with it's own copy of boardindex.template.php?

you will need to edit index.template.php and possibly messageindex.template.php if your custom theme uses those files.
-snork13
Having the same prob as The Listener. There's nowhere in my admin to adjust the settings although I've edited index.template.php already.
I would double check each file that was edited against the modification xml.
-snork13
wait... there is no admin interface for this... is there?
No admin interface.

Sorry Kindred I was having a blonde moment last night.
I shoulda said what I did in a different mods topic entirely.
yes, there is under post settings
Length of the message preview on hover
0 to disable
OOPs
Are you saying I had another blonde moment or is it my old age catching up again?
ah... you are right, under post settings, there IS a field.... I never even bothered to configure that. lol

How to change code or whatever to get instant preview? To not wait 5 seconds.. when i go over some thread to Instantly preview text.. ??
show instantly for me on your site
Is it just me, or does the MessagePreviewOnMouseOver not work with 2.0. I've updated to the latest version of this mod, and have set my characters-to-preview to 25 characters. But nothing shows up
This works on 2.0 for me but with RC2 it can be kind of confusing. Some themes use Core as the base and some use Curve as the base so this update mod needs to be run on those themes as well as the current one you are using.
Can i make a suggestion to the mod creator?
Changing the lines in addMessagePreview_settings.php from
// adds the column to themessage table
$smcFunc['db_query']('', "INSERT INTO {$db_prefix}settings
(`variable`, `value`) VALUES ('hover_length','0')");
to
// adds the column to themessage table
$smcFunc['db_query']('', "INSERT IGNORE INTO {$db_prefix}settings
(`variable`, `value`) VALUES ('hover_length','0')");
The first line fails if "hover_length" already exists in the database.

If you remove the mod correctly via the package manager, it will remove the row from the table. You can also run it from your browser to remove the table. ignoring something that should be removed make a messy database. which is why i don't use the ignore. if i change the variable name(which I have done in passed versions) you would never get the old variable removed

hello,
this is a really great mod! grats!! I was wondering can you change the background color and or make it curve? Also if there is a pic in the topic how can you get it to show the pic too.
Thank you very much!

the mod does not allow either. i have no plans in the future to add this.
That's unfortunate. :( Great mod but does not go well with the new curve them in it's current state.

I just looked at your forum. Your about hacking sites and stuff. Nice community. Sry I just had to say it.

1.1.11 support?
it should work just fine on 1.1.11
Got this error
Duplicate entry 'hover_length' for key 1

Line: 31
running 2.0 rc2
I simply cannot get this mod to work. I'm running a test site on www.donstalk.net/messageboard
The site I'm running is using SMF 2.0RC2, using the Core Theme (with changes to the CSS to suit my site). I haven't installed any mods, so this was the very first additional mod that I tried. I get no errors when installing the mod. But there is no new options within the "Posts and Topics" section of my admin, and moving my mouse over any posts produces no preview.
Any ideas?
Okay, managed to get it installed by CHMODing my Sources folder to 777 then reinstalling the mod.
Now I can't get anything to display. I've altered the preview characters to 20 characters, but nothing appears. Any help?
Is this similar to NiceTooltips mod?

the error is caused because you didn't remove the old mod correctly before installing. you can run dropsettings from the modification folder once unzipped.
I just installed it on a SMF 2.0 RC2 forum. It said mod installed successfully and there were no errors in the error log but it doesn't work. I tried it in Firefox and IE 7 but no dice. ??? ???

Well that's really wierd! I even tried Chrome but still no dice. Just so everyone knows, I do understand what it's supposed to do, in fact I have had older versions installed in some of my forums and they worked fine. When I hover over a topic on this one, nothing happens.
Maybe a couple more people could try it and see if it's working for them?

ok, i didn't try that one. try clearing your file cache in smf. if that dones't work un zip the mod and look at the modification file to see if all the changes were made.

OK I assume you were looking at my http://catfished.com/forum which is still version 1.1.11 and I installed the mod a long time ago so it's probably a very old version.
I cleared the file cache in SMF but it had no effect. I installed your mod in two more test forums (SMF 2.0 RC2) and although it installed successfully in both of them, it doesn't work with any of them.
I'm not knowledgeable about figuring out what file changes should have been made so I'm not going there.
I don't want to offend you but I think you need to check your latest version of this mod for an error. It shouldn't not work in three different forums consecutively. I'll just uninstall and delete all three instances of the mod on the appropriate forums and wait until you get it resolved.
Just tested it out again and work on the first try on a new install. check the setting in he admin-> posts and topics-> ...
if it set to zero then it's disabled.
Length of the message preview on hover
0 to disable

OK snork13, that was it, now it works fine, thank you very much.
On the older version for 1.11 there is no "Length of the message preview on hover" option in posts & topics so I guess it defaults to around 150 characters and works fine right out of the box.
Also, evidently on new installs in 2.0 RC2, it defaults to 0 so it doesn't work right out of the box. At least that's what it did for me on three fresh installs in 2.0 RC2.
Anyway, thanks again for straightening it out. You certainly do go the extra mile to support your mods.(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcatfished.com%2Frock.gif&hash=9aad35be045d617d191e288f9a542d1060843e47)

no worries, i set it to zero as default. so it's off until the admin turns on.
how can I get this to work on my Extreme15 theme. It works fine in my default theme but not on the Extreme 15.
Thanks.
you would have to manually apply the mod changes to your custom theme's template files.
I tried install it on .11 but give me an error telling me that is not supported on my version...
Any idea?

looks like you installed twice.
I have install the old version. I remove the file package on ftp. Then I cannot uninstall. I upload the new package and now I only can Install or List files or Remove the package.
The package should check if exist the key and update the table and don't insert again the same key on the table.
most mods assume that the admin will not install twice and hence do not check... actually, I can think of onel 4mods that do it.

if uninstalled correctly via the package manager it will delete the key, you can do it manually if you unzip the package and place the remove file in your forum root and then call if from a browser. it will delete the key
so, check if the key exist is so difficult or only a lazy work?
The justification "because other plugins dont check" it is offensive for me.
the justification is : Mod authors assume that and admin knows how to admin his own system and knows that 99% of the time, you must uninstall a mod before installing the update (it's mentioned several thousand times)
if an admin chooses to violate standard procedure, I fail to see how the mod authors can be called lazy or held accountable?
Come on, on Wordpress or other system, when you try to install the same plugin it show a conflict o try to fix the conflict.
Before I have the version 1.6, the filename on my server was MessagePreviewOnHover.zip
Then I download the file for version 1.7, with same name MessagePreviewOnHover.zip
CONFLICT!
Do you want a plugin system user-friendly? Then make some small changes for easy use and common problems.
When I upgrade RC 2 to RC 3, all the plugins obsolete because it dont have the string version new on the plugin package. Same with other versions of SMF.
That problem is common. I upgrade, then I cant uninstall the plugin (because it lost the "uninstall option"), then, I upload the new file, and I cannot install the plugin yet.
user-friendly?
I am not saying that we could not improve the system... I am merely saying that the system, which has been in place like this since smf 1.0, is what it is at the moment... and is not likely to change until SMF 2.1 or 3.0

That would be a NICE feature. If you improve the plugin system for SMF 2.1 you get many users of easy way. I cannot wait for see it ;)
The system as it stands cannot actually deal with this, in fact it is required not to deal with it properly given how it handles mod authors who add upgrade instructions in the package itself.

I have maybe a silly question, ...
I am using SMF 1.1.11 (patched from 1.1.8 up) and have installed the MessagePreviewOnHover.zip (1.1.7) and I cannot seem to find the settings for the mod in "Posts and Topics" ... or anywhere else for that matter.
Also, all my files in the languages dir are utf8 so Admin.english.php is actually Admin.english-utf8.php so the install gives error that there is no Admin.english.php file so i copied the utf8 version applied the mod and copied back?
Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

did you install other mods? or themes, or changes to the default theme?
I uploaded a fresh "theme" folder from the Large upgrade package because I made a mistake while editing the index.css stylesheet.
These mods were installed around the time it stopped working: TeamPage, Menu order, Ultimate profile and post ratings.
When I try to uninstall the MessagePreview mod I get two failed tests:
Quote1. Execute Modification .Themes/default/index.template.php Test failed
1. Replace .Themes/default/index.template.php Test failed
right... so if you uploaded a fresh copy of the theme files, then you removed all of the mods which depended on those files.

right... so if you uploaded a fresh copy of the theme files, then you removed all of the mods which depended on those files.
I've reinstalled fresh copies of all mods afterward, including the message preview one.
how did you re-install?
Quote from: Kindred on April 21, 2010, 07:53:37 PM
how did you re-install?
With the package manager in the SMF Admin CP. I had it working....I've even uninstall all mods and installed only this one and it still doesn't want to work.
Is it best to install mods via FTP?
yes, because of how you did it, you will probably have to manually reinstall most, if not all, mods
Didn't work. Should I do them all like that or was it just the one mod that I needed to do because the rest work fine.
Still having issues with this. I'm getting errors when I try to uninstall now.
my suggestion is to reload fresh files for ALL of the forum files. each of the themes and the Sources directories.
that will give you a clean slate and you can restart with the mods.

Okay, it doesn't work for me for threads with New Posts in a non default theme. It works fine on Threads I've read, and it works fine in the Default theme. I've manually added the changes for MessageIndex.Template and Recent.template files, but there is no Admin.english file in the theme I use. Could that be part of my problem?
I'm a little confused because it works on some of the threads. We use an animated Gif for our "New Post" indicator ... could that have anything to do with it? Doesn't seem likely.

thanks for this great mod!
perfectly working on RC3!
I can't get this mod working on SMF 2.0 RC3.
Hello!
This version work in RC2 ?
It should work.
The modifications made by addMessagePreview_settings.php use the same structure in RC2 and RC3 ?
Thanks :)
When I try and install this on RC3 I get this
Duplicate entry 'hover_length' for key 'PRIMARY'
File: /home/tt/public_html/Packages/temp/addMessagePreview_settings.php
Line: 31

Anyone ?
you get that on the installation or after the installation?
It runs through the installation without finding any error and once it ends I get that and when I look nothing has been installed
looks like the installation is actually failing on the db edits. Check your DB for the field hover_length...
if it's alreayd there, you can edit the installation db file to remove the db edits
When you say check the DB do you actually meant in MySQL Database . I did have the mod installed before I upgraded from RC2 to RC3 if this helps
yup... I believe that you probably already have the db edits done, so the db edits in the mod are failing (before any code changes are done). Remove the instructions in the mod for the db edit file and it should work
Ok thanks
unzip the package and upload dropmessagepreview to the root of your forum, run it from browser. delete file and it will remove the entry, or you can delete it through phpmyadmin. it happen when the mods not un-installed correctly, normally through upgrades.

How exactly would I go about doing that? I have the same exact error and problem.
remove the db edit php file from the xml file
is this mod good for SEO?
does not matter for seo.
We look forward to compliance with RC 4
updated to rc4. tested. if you didn't uninstall correctly you will need to remove the value from the database using the file attached to this post. place it in the root of your forum folder and run from a browser :)

Hello
my forum is set up such that guests can see threads' topics, but not read the topics themselves. I'm interested by this mod but I was wondering if anyone knows if it means guests could read the thread preview or not. I would guess yes?

Hello again,
I have installed this mod yesterday and it worked great.
Today I noticed that it doesn't work and I check and found that in the Admin -> Posts & Topics the "Length of the Message Preview on Hover" it's gone. It's not there.
I have uninstalled the mod and installed it again but the "Length of the Message Preview on Hover" it's not showing under Posts & Topics.
I'm using the smf v.1.1.12 with the default theme.
Any idea?
Thank you?
now it's back again! arghh!! darn! ???
Sorry guys!
desperately want this mod, any way to make it work with 1.1.13?
Is it compatible with RC5?

The mod is not good for seo, even though we can control the character count there is little chance for keyword inclusion in the link titles.
Also long title attributes are not recommended for a better seo.
i tried the mod with a character count 35, but The link title attributes i got were not complete & it contained very little number of keywords.
The mod is very good if it can be enabled only for members when logged in.

not sure i follow u. if you use the
[b]bold [/b] it filters out the bbc and just preview a
bold
Hmm once I increased the preview length to 256 it seems to be fine. But as I was experimenting with much smaller lengths I was seeing BB code in the preview.
So maybe only a bug for very short preview lengths, but probably lengths too short for anyone to practically use so maybe not a serious bug. :)
it is going to be a "bug" in any case for which the BBC is cut off mid-tag...

So you're saying if the preview length ends mid-tag, that's what triggers it? Seems a bug that's easily fixed by simply stripping our BBC
prior to trimming it down, versus after.

does that theme even have a recent template. i thought it fell back on the default file? which the package manager will change.
-snork13
When I tried to install it It gave me an error for the two code placements in "./Themes/BacknBlack/Recent.template.php". Which led me to the manual install. I just cant get it right.
The file I attached is from the "./Themes/BacknBlack/" directory.
I checked the theme contents and it includes a Recent.template.php.
Thanks for the help!
that template is missing the the first post id, not sure why. i don't know theme. Can u link me to the theme?

i'm guessing you upgraded without uninstalling the mod....
so unzip the package and put the drop_settings files @ the root of your forum and then run it from a browser.
or use phpmyadmin to drop the setting from your database
-snork
Yes that worked (running the drop settings file), thanks :)
Like you said I must have forgot to uninstall this mod before a forum upgrade at some time.
I installed the package and it works fine in the SMF Core Theme. However I use a different default theme and I cant get it to work. I Cant find the lines that I need to edit in the
- MessageIndex.template.php
- Recent.template.php
- Admin.template.php (there is none in current template)
I have attached the current themes files. Any help please!?
Template is [Classic YaBB SE Theme]
Does this not work in Chrome. I tested it in IE9 and Firefox and other Mozilla browsers it works fine. But nothing shows in Chrome?
Mine fails to install because of the same errors with the recent.template. Thats in the Core theme
I manually searched the file couldn't find the lines that needed changing

The reason why you're getting that error is because you already have 'hover_length' table in your database.
To fix this you will need phpmyadmin access.
Click on SQL tab
Type the following in
DELETE FROM {$db_prefix}settings
WHERE variable = 'hover_length'
The
{$db_prefix} needs to be changed according to your
Admin > Configuration > Server Settings > Database and Paths locate
Database Tables PrefixBy default it's
SMF_So in my case i will need to run the sql:
DELETE FROM SMF_settings
WHERE variable = 'hover_length'
Normally if the mod was to be uninstalled it will run the above via a dropMessagePreview_settings.php file ;) but I understand that you have upgraded.
I hope this works for you. ;)
Or you can extract your mod to a folder anywhere
normally I use the desktopUse FTP and upload dropMessagePreview_settings.php to your forum root folder, where Attachments, Packages, Source, Themes folders are ;)
Now point your browser to http://your_domain.com/dropMessagePreview_settings.php
That should work, if you don't have phpmyadmin access or don't want to do it manually :)
Don't forget to delete the dropMessagePreview_settings.php file after running it ;)

yes
this is a great mod. thanks
one little thing, how to change the look of the preview box? I tried to see in parse there is not operation to add anything to index.css
also I noticed that the installation suppose to perform the following
QuoteMove the included directory "images" to "./Themes/default".
yet the installation package does not have the image folder, which gives an error at time of installation. other than that everything is great.
thanks
Mod için çok teşekkür ederim.
Recalibrated to SMF 2.0.1. Turkish settings are added.

well, it would seem that you already had this mod installed at some point... and the db entry is already present. So, you'll have to remove that from the install code - or manually install the mod
I had a previous version installed and after upgrading to 1.1.16 it is no longer working - I uninstalled and tried to install the new version but it indicates:

Ah I didn't know about that mod as I use 2.0.2
Sorry for the confusion.
;D No Problem - Either way it did NOT properly Install- Never saw that mod before! The Admin Pages did not show and I did a Manual Parse and it was all correct? I checked Default Theme to - No Luck
If I can get this working - then I should be able to get the Preview working - In Theory!
Sorry I don't use the mod so no idea.
Great Mod!
Got it to work on a fresh 2.0.2 install with 3 themes.
THANK YOU!!!
Worked in 2.0 but in 2.0.2 I get
"The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF."
Repeated numerous times, same result.
Then I noticed when I try to read the manual instructions for 2.0.2 I get this;

Tried that, installation failed with

Besides, I would rather that the mod is updated. 2.0.2 has been out a while and sevaral other people are having issues.
does this mod still work? i installed as 2.0 but updated my forum to the latest SMF 1.1.19 / 2.0.6 Update.
the mod installed successfully but no hover over works.
any feedback?

good catch. i see it installed in the default theme only :o that's what i get for working too many hours.
i'm using the ClearSky theme. should i just copy over the MessageIndex.php file?
no, probably not.
The reason there is a separate file with that name in your custom theme is because that is a file designed specifically for the custom theme...
So, you should do a manual parse of the mod (link on the mod download page) and manually make the changes to your custom theme file(s)
.. or just uninstall then reinstall the mod, remembering to tick the box(es) for your custom theme during (re)installation.

I love this mod on my 1.1.x board. But I upgraded with a fresh install to a 2.0.6 board. I finally got the mod to install, but there is no preview of the posts. I did change the setting for the number of characters to display, so that isn't the issue. Any ideas?
Still works great on 2.0.8 with a manual install, thanks for the mod! :)
Also, if anyone was wondering the same, you add the addMessagePreview_settings.php file to your theme folder. (The parser doesn't say where to put it).
Any simple way to add "..." to the ending of the message when it is cut off?
Can this be made to work with SMF 2.0.10? I tried installing it using Package Manager and got: "The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF."
Thanks,
Kerry

The mod works fine, but how can I be able to view the images?
I do not believe that images are loaded into the preview
I emulated 2.0 to install this on 2.0.14. However, I cannot get it to work, even after changing character count.
All it did to my forum is increase the font size on my admin pages (ouch, my eyes) and I'm left with this snippet at the top of the page: "$txt['hover_length'] = 'Length of the message preview on hover'; $txt['hover_characters'] = 'characters';"
If anybody can figure out how to fix this, it'll be forever appreciated. Everyone wants this feature on my forum!
The mod failed to install correctly.

Thank you for your help.
The theme I am currently using as a default doesn't have that file. Is this something I can/should add?
All language files are in the default tgeme
Looking at the file, it appears that the ?> is already at the end. Is there something else I need to be checking, or something I'm missing?
Quote$txt['footerads_text'] = '(paste Adsense code)';
$txt['toppostads_enable'] = 'Enable AdSense at the top of a thread';
$txt['toppostads_text'] = '(paste Adsense code)';
$txt['ad_text'] = 'Advertisement</br>';
?>
Is there another one further up?
Searched the file and I only see the ?> at the bottom.
Edit: Aha. I fixed it in the Admin.english.php. It was not at the end. Thank you both for your help!
I bet it's in 2 places then

Yes, though it's showing a preview of first message in message index, not really sure if that's what you're looking for.

if this is the case I will show you only the poster photo (image inserted in the first line of the test)
How can the font sioze of the preview get changed?
