MyBB Hacks

• move template modification code from _install function to _activate - this allows an admin to re-perform the template edits after they install a new theme, by deactivating and re-activating the plugin (rather than forcing an uninstall, or requiring manual template edits)
• workaround for an editpost bug in earlier MyBB 1.4.x versions
• fix bug with handling array of filters (thanks to RateU)
• fix bug with multiple values and textbox/textarea inputs; it didn't work before, now it will assume that commas (textboxes) or newlines (textareas) are delimeters (regardless of what the display delimiter is) - it's probably not the nicest solution, which might be changed in a later version.  Note, I'm assuming no-one has relied on this feature (haven't seen it being used anywhere) so I'm not going to bother trying to fix it in the upgrader.
• add ability to use text mask filter (for custom thread fields) to capture patterns, similar to how custom MyCodes operate; surround the capture pattern with brackets, and use {VALUE$1}, {VALUE$2} etc in display (item) format or unviewable value
• add $filters_set variable for forumdisplay, for displaying which thread filters have been set.  It is an array, and you specify something like {$filters_set['my_thread_field']['value']} in templates to display the value of the filter "my_thread_field".  "value" can be replaced with a number of different things:
  • urlarg: URL parameter, eg 'filtertf_my_thread_field=label_a'
  • urlarga: URL parameter with preceeding ampersand, eg '&filtertf_my_thread_field=label_a'
  • urlargq: URL parameter with preceeding question mark, eg '?filtertf_my_thread_field=label_a'
  • forminput: hidden form input parameter, eg '<input type="hidden" name="filtertf_my_thread_field" value="label_a" />'
  • selected: for selecting in listboxes - is set to ' selected="selected"' for selected value (eg {$filters_set['my_thread_field']['selected']['labela']} is set if the filter is "labela")
  • checked: for selecting in checkboxes - as above, but set to ' checked="checked"'
  • hiddencss: puts hidden CSS if set - is set to 'display: none;' if filter is set, or '' otherwise
  • visiblecss: opposite of the above - set to 'display: none;' if filter is NOT set, or '' otherwise
    
  Note that for "value", if an array of filters is used, the values will be comma separated.  There's also two special entries defined:
  • {$filters_set['__all'][...]} can be used to grab URL/form parameters for all filtered thread fields (does not include inline search)
  • {$filters_set['__search'][...]} can be used for inline search filtering; the "..." can be replaced with any of the above values
    

<div style="{$filters_set['thread_prefix']['visiblecss']}">
Filtering by thread prefix: {$filters_set['thread_prefix']['value']}
</div>

Filter threads by status:
<form action="{$forumurl}" method="post">
<select name="filtertf_status">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="resolved"{$filters_set['status']['selected']['resolved']}>Resolved</option>
<option value="open"{$filters_set['status']['selected']['open']}>Open</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" class="button" value="Filter" />
</form>

Test

Yeah, I need to make it "extreme" to view the difference.
7. Edit the My Forum to Show first post on every showthread page = Yes.

8. Open the thread.
I can see the difference. My first postbit contains "Test" word only. So, the postbit_first works for me.

Or am I misunderstanding ?
