Update Forum Software Updates

Can you explain that a little better? I'm reading it as you want a link to take you to the most recent post, but not the page the most recent post is on?

 

Alright. I think understand now. You want to go to the most recent post made in a thread and not the first message you haven't read yet (or just to the top of the last page of trheads).

That is already possible on the forum. To go to the most recent post:

While in the New/Recent Post tab you have to click on the date under the name of the last person to make a post:

(Note: This only works if you are logged in to the forum. Guests do not have this option for some reason.)

If you are on the main forum page you just click the link next to "Latest".

(Note: this does work for guests.)

The forum you linked above does not have any "Latest Post" near the thread title/page number for me. The only way I could get to the latest post there was so go to the same area as I posted above here. That forum software is phpBB, which doesn't include a "Latest Post" in the location:

Pretty much identical to DI minus the tiny arrow:


I have licenses for Xenforo, vB 4/5 and IPB and none of them have it either, but I'll have a look at the templates and see if adding the link would be possible.

(Unless I'm just way off base here and still not understanding what you are talking about.)

 

Code:

            <div class="secondRow">
                <div class="posterDate muted">
                    <xen:username user="$thread" title="{xen:phrase thread_starter}" /><span class="startDate">,
                    <a{xen:if {$visitor.user_id}, ' href="{xen:link threads, $thread}"'} class="faint"><xen:datetime time="$thread.post_date" title="{xen:if {$visitor.user_id}, '{xen:phrase go_to_first_message_in_thread}'}" /></a></span><xen:if is="{$showForumLink}"><span class="containerName">,
                    <a href="{xen:link forums, $thread.forum}" class="forumLink">{$thread.forum.title}</a></span></xen:if>

                    <xen:if is="{$showLastPageNumbers} AND {$thread.lastPageNumbers}">
                        <span class="itemPageNav">
                            <span>...</span>
                            <xen:foreach loop="$thread.lastPageNumbers" value="$pageNumber">
                                <a href="{xen:link threads, $thread, 'page={$pageNumber}'}">{$pageNumber}</a>
                            </xen:foreach>
                            <span>|</span>
                            <a href="{xen:link posts, $thread.lastPostInfo}" title="{xen:phrase go_to_last_message}"'}>{xen:phrase last_post}</a>
                        </span>
                    </xen:if>
                </div>

 

Thanks for logging back in and giving a thanks. It is appreciated.

 

Just finished upgrading the forum software. Running Xenforo 1.5.7 now.

Spoiler: Bug Fixes

Some of the bugs fixed in 1.5.7 include:

• The interface used by admins to update user passwords has been improved to prevent accidental changes due to autofill.
• Improved usage of cURL in the PayPal upgrade processor to ensure that requests are still successful before the TLS 1.2 transition is required.
• Remove template editor border radius due to Chrome bug with horizontal scrolling.
• Add autofocus to the full page login form.
• Prevent image BB codes from being rendered when they couldn't possibly work.
• Fix issues with the BB code <-> HTML conversion process involving lists within alignment tags.
• Improved indication when your search failed or did not run as expected due to containing censored words.
• Allow case insensitive highlighting of non-Latin characters in search results.
• Limit nesting in the HTML to BB code conversion to prevent stack overflow errors.
• Fix various issues with thread tag importing.
• Fix for template modification disabling not working correctly when imported via style XML.

Nothing major here but if you notice something not working let me know here.

Media Gallery software was also upgrade to v1.5.6.

(Instead of a new thread for every software upgrade I will just keep one running thread. Merged all the previous upgrade threads into this one.)
