"Open whole/in thread" by default (General)

by bers, Sunday, September 07, 2014, 16:02 (3490 days ago)

Hi,
I am a user (not an admin, unfortunately) of my little forum in two communities, and I like it a lot. But what I am missing is an option to open everything in "thread view" by default - having to make an extra effort to open the thread view from a post (index.php?id=xyz) or having to hit this tiny little "Open whole thread" (index.php?mode=index) is quite annoying, especially on mobile devices. Or did I miss an option somewhere?

Thanks!

Hello

I am a user (not an admin, unfortunately) of my little forum in two communities, and I like it a lot. But what I am missing is an option to open everything in "thread view" by default - having to make an extra effort to open the thread view from a post (index.php?id=xyz) or having to hit this tiny little "Open whole thread" (index.php?mode=index) is quite annoying, especially on mobile devices. Or did I miss an option somewhere?

In the version 1.x there was the option to allow the user to choose his preferred view. This function seems to be gone from version 2.x.

I will check the source code today or tomorrow and will report again about the conclusions.

Tschö, Auge

Thanks!

What I found in the admin/language code of 1.7.6 is this:

$lang_add['standard'] =                       "Default view";
$lang_add['standard_d'] =                     "Which view should be used as default?";
$lang_add['standard_thread'] =                "Thread view";
$lang_add['standard_board'] =                 "Board view";
$lang_add['standard_mix'] =                   "Mix view";

I don't know if that's what I was looking for. However:

Oh! OH! I just found out that if I display the forum in FORUM-TABLE view, then a thread or post is always opened in POST-THREAD view. When displaying a forum in FORUM-THREAD view, it always opens a single post only.

This will take some getting used to the FORUM-TABLE view (instead of FORUM-THREAD view) on a forum's page, but it solves my issue with opening a post in thread view by default.

Ok, so you are talking about mlfs version 1.x branch. Here we are at the version 2.3. Yes, in version 1.x you can define your preferred view as a registered user.

Oh! OH! I just found out that if I display the forum in FORUM-TABLE view, then a thread or post is always opened in POST-THREAD view. When displaying a forum in FORUM-THREAD view, it always opens a single post only.

Yes, that's intended (in both branches).

Tschö, Auge
