There are 5 new settings under Admin -> Configuration -> Modification Settings.  They are:
o Show last post from previous page
o Dim last post from previous page by
o Undim the post by hovering the cursor over it?

Yet another feature that should be included as a stock forum option...

Congratulations

I took a few minutes to realize the change and how it works, really good change :-) bravo for the effort but I have one question to give the translation the "dim" and investigare :-P


Regards!

I originally posted this in the mod request thread then thought it might be better here.


Cool beans on the approved mod!

I should have been more specific in my suggestion about image links. While what you did works fine and I'm happy to have it as is, I was thinking this:

[url=url of first image]Image 1[/url]

[url=url of first image]Image 2[/url]

[url=url of first image]Image 3[/url]

etc.

Uploaded v1.2 - March 31th, 2016
o Added support for SMF 2.0.x's Core template.
o Added support for SMF 2.1 Beta 2.
o Changed remove picture code to create numbered URL links instead of changing image IMGs into URLs.



@Steve: Your request has been implemented in version 1.2.  Thank you for explaining precisely what you wanted!

[url=url of first image]Image 2[/url]
[url=url of first image]Image 3[/url]

I hope you meant:
[url=url of SECOND image]Image 2[/url]
[url=url of THIRD image]Image 3[/url]

[Steve]

I hope you meant:
[url=url of SECOND image]Image 2[/url]
[url=url of THIRD image]Image 3[/url]

Oopsie! Yep, that's what I meant of course. Thanks so much Dougie.

[Steve]

Unfortunately, there's an issue when there is more than one image. I put two images in the last post of a page and the first post of the next page gave me this:

Second image test: [img]url of image][ Image 1 ]

Oh, regular expressions give me the worst headaches....  It worked for one image, and I assumed it would work for more than one.  I'll look into the issue....

[Steve]

Thank ya.

The activated this option in the profile:

The post is shown in the wrong place.

I've fixed this particular bug report in version 1.4!  Thank you for reporting it!

[Steve]

Works a treat now. Can't thank you enough!

[aegersz]

occasionally the original post on the previous page ALSO gets greyed out also when I set the dimming on.

[dougiefresh]

I'll look into it.

[dougiefresh]

@aegersz:  I apologize for the latest of my reply.  Things got rather hectic in my life.....

Regarding your bug report, I can't see where the code might be producing the bug report you provided....  Can you be more specific on the circumstances where it happens?  Maybe even a admin credentials (via PM) and a link?

[aegersz]

no worries ... try
https://forum.drugs-and-users.org/index.php/topic,3779.msg40971.html#msg40971
I appreciate your pursuit of perfection. 

[Steve]

Does one need an account to look at that link or did you pm creds to him?

[aegersz]

do you mind registering?

I will remove you afterwards if you wish.

or shall I copy it to a public area ? I'd rather not but it's your call.

[dougiefresh]

@aegersz:  PM sent.  Still can't duplicate the bug report....

@Steve:  Yeah, one needs an account in order to view the topic linked to.

[aegersz]

you are an administrator for a while, dougie

[dougiefresh]

@aegersz:  PM Sent.  I've looked around your forum and I don't see anything that sticks out as a problem.  Can you attach your Sources/Display.php and Themes/Default/Display.template.php files so that maybe I can see what is going on with them?  Thanks!  (I'm going to bed now)

[aegersz]

sorry about the delay but they are now attached. Thanks for taking the time.

Uploaded v1.5 - July 28th, 2017
o Added support for SMF 2.1 Beta 3.
o Removed support for SMF 2.1 Beta 1 and 2.
o Moved one section of code ahead by a few lines.
o Capped max dimming to 90% opacity, as opposed to 100% in previous versions.



@aegersz:  I still can't see any obvious reason for the bug report....  I made a few changes which MAY solve the issue, but it is impossible for me to know since I can't duplicate it, nor can I figure out the why your bug report happens....  Let me know if this update fixes the issue.  Thanks for the report!

[Steve]

There's a problem Dougie. When I go into a board and click on a 'new' indicator for any thread that has new responses, I'm taken to the top of the last page instead of the new posts.

I reinstalled v1.4 and it works correctly.

[dougiefresh]

Removed version 1.5 and reupped version 1.4 as the downloadable mod version....  (Sigh)

[aegersz]

another clue for you, it never happens on the first page (no dimming on the first post of the second page either) and always happens afterwards.

shall i still try your latest version ?

[aegersz]

solved. this is now working. i have no idea why but i since went to 2.0.14 and upgraded a bunch of your mods.

[dougiefresh]

Good to hear.....

[dougiefresh]

I don't know when Dougie was last here but any chance of an update?

[GL700Wing]

I don't know when Dougie was last here but any chance of an update?

He hasn't posted anything since mid 2019 (or responded to messages I've sent him since then about his mods I'm a co-author of) so someone might have to create a new mod with this feature ...

And as you're a good mod writer ...
