Topic Descriptions

I wonder if I could bother someone for a little assistance? I've been fiddling around, but I can't quite seem to hit the nail on the head!

What I'd really like to do, is have it so that the Bookmarks mod pulls up the Topic Descriptions when a description is included, and perhaps just leave it blank when one isn't there.

I can manage to create a spot for it on the table, but I'll be squared if I can get it to actually pull forth the descriptions. I'm sure the answer is simple, but I can't seem to find it.

Any assistance would be very, very appreciated!

Hello, thank you very much for sharing your mod  ;)

I like the "additional description mod " but i was thinking to use it as "Additional tags" instead. My idea is to write tags separated by spaces in the additional description field. The problems is that your description field is not searchable in the seach function. How would i add the field in the search criteria ?

I've just installed this mod and strange enough, it did not work for the Core theme, but did work in my custom themes.
I've manually added the bits that failed during the test, but it didn't change anything, it's not showing the descriptions.

I love this modification and appreciate the time it took to make it. I am using it on SMF 2.0.9 on the Coalblack theme. I regret I'm not a programmer and need a bit of help from those so generous as to offer it.

1. I'm also having the same trouble with Topic Description disappearing whenever the original poster edits their post. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to make this stick?

2. In addition, this mod keeps generating the following log error:
Quote
8: Undefined index: description
File: /home/xxxxxxxxxxx/public_html/forum/Sources/Post.php
Line: 773

Line 773 of that document simply reads:

$form_description = $row['description'];


I'll gladly supply any other information required if someone volunteers to help! Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, vbgamer45. :) I've double and triple checked that.  It's all correct. Did the snippet of code I posted tell you anything that might help me?

I have this mod installed and enabled... I do have a problem though. The description of the topic doesn't show in the topic list - though it does show in the topic itself. I am running the newest version of SMF and it says I have the most updated version of the mod. Here are screenshots of what I mean:


This is the topic in the list of topics within a board where the description should display.


The description shown within the topic.


And of course, the version of the mod installed.


Is there a reason these descriptions are not showing on the topic list description as the mod says they should be?

It's likely a problem with the theme. Did it install in your custom theme? If not, you may have to parse that section manually.

Another question, are the descriptions searchable?

Yes it installed on my custom theme, that's the one you saw the images from. The descriptions show in the topic, but not the topic lists in boards. I don't know how to parse codes manually...

And I have no idea if they are searchable.

Is it possible to add a section that is "only enable in these boards"?

also is this section SSI Friendly?

vbgamer45

Possible but currently do not have the time to do it.

Can I get an answer to this please? I would really like to fix the issue.

i tried this but got this error on my 2.0.11 system WHEN creating a New Topic:
