Notice:
This tip has been in some way ported over to be a modification package located on the SMF modsite. Please note, the mod package may not do the exact same function and may not even use any of the code originally written for the tip, but should still hold the same basic functionality of the tip posted here. With the mod package for this tip, you can now let the SMF package manager make the code changes for you without you having to look at the code and edit it manually.

For documentation on using the SMF package manager, view this document.

To download the modification package, [please click here].




In MessageIndex.template.php find:

', $topic['first_post']['link'];

Replace:

<span title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span>';

You must have 1.0 RC1 or higher to do this.

Sigh, I seem to be bad with applying mods these days...

But, the good thing first: It does tool tips, and I've wanted this feature for a long time, so thanks!

The only thing is, they don't start from the beginning of a post, it swallows letters/ words/ the first post, is that intentional or did I do something wrong?? Oh, and also they show html entities in between.   

Here's a link to check for yourselves:

I have the same problem. The beginning of it isn't displayed.

What I noticed is that it will display the start of the second line. So when there is just one line it will display fine but when there are more then one it seems to show the start of the second line.

Bloody.... grr... find, MessageIndex.php:

$row['firstBody'] = substr($row['firstBody'], 128) . '...';
$row['lastBody'] = strip_tags(strtr(doUBBC($row['lastBody'], $row['lastSmileys']), array('<br />' => '&#10;')));
if (strlen($row['lastBody']) > 128)
$row['lastBody'] = substr($row['lastBody'], 128) . '...';


Replace:

$row['firstBody'] = substr($row['firstBody'], 0, 128) . '...';
$row['lastBody'] = strip_tags(strtr(doUBBC($row['lastBody'], $row['lastSmileys']), array('<br />' => '&#10;')));
if (strlen($row['lastBody']) > 128)
$row['lastBody'] = substr($row['lastBody'], 0, 128) . '...';


Will be resolved in the next release.

I'm using RC1 and I couldn't find that code in MessageIndex.php???

[Unknown]

It's not in RC1.  I never said this would work properly/well in RC1.

No, I just edited the file with EditPlus...I found the first part (the $topic change) no problem, it's the second part (the $row) that I can't even find in MessageIndex.php

A.M.A

It is two lines below this:
// Limit them to 128 characters - do this FIRST because it's a lot of wasted censoring otherwise.

And in combination with the bold (sticky) / italics (locked) mods, the line would look like this:

                        <span style="', $topic['is_sticky'] ? 'font-weight: bold;' : '', $topic['is_locked'] ? 'font-style: italic;' : '', '" title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '">
                                ', $topic['is_sticky'] ? 'Sticky: ' : ($topic['is_locked'] ? 'Locked: ' : ''), ' ', $topic['first_post']['link'], '
                        </span>';

I wish I had thought about that when someone asked me to do this. I did it by adding the title to the first post link in MessageIndex.php. Works just as well either way though.

#19
I have applied this change but nothing happened. I have also tried to find

', $topic['first_post']['link'];

but the most relevant string I found was

$started = $topic['first_post']['member']['id'] == $ID_MEMBER;

I am using SMF 1.0, default template
