link directory...can someone make this?

[RocketFoot]

Thanks!  And yes, you may use mine as an example!  I'd be honored!  

I'm also having a similar problem with the article Gallery...I'll make a post there.

RateU, once the user submits the link he will redirected to the site he posted, is possible to make the user be redirected to the links directory section instead and ONLY redirects the user to the site he posted if he clicks the thread?
Also.. If the user clicks the thread name would be possible to add the thread inside it? Like just the description and the button to redirect to the site?

You need a plugin attached to this post:

I think this is the "easiest" way:

1. Rename xtld_postbit to xtld_postbit_first. Remove the entire code there. Copy paste the postbit template code to this template.
2. Create xtld_postbit_first_classic template. Copy paste the postbit_classic template code to this new template.
3. For both of the templates above (xtld_postbit_first and xtld_postbit_first_classic), put this code before {$post['message']} variable:
   
   HTML Code

   <div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="{$GLOBALS['threadfields']['xtldwww']}" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.iwebtool2.com/img/?r={$mybb->settings['bburl']}/&amp;domain={$GLOBALS['threadfields']['xtldwww']}" alt="{$post['subject']}" title="Go to {$post['subject']}" /></a> <br />{$GLOBALS['threadfields']['xtlddesc']} </div>

   Modify it as your need.

4. Remove xtld_showthread template, Redirect Delay custom thread fields, Back custom thread fields. And remove {$GLOBALS['threadfields']['xtldback']} variable and target="_blank" in xtld_forumdisplay_thread template. I think you don't need the redirection. Because when you click the thread name / thread link, you will see the showthread and postbit. User can click the URL from there. I think you don't need the edit link in forumdisplay thread too, because you can edit the thread like a normal thread. And I think you don't need the Back "link", because there is no redirection for this method.
5. Set the Force Postbit Layout setting in Edit Forum page to Don't force layout.
   

You can modify your xtld_postbit_first and xtld_postbit_first_classic as your need. And maybe you can set the Show first post on every showthread page setting to Yes (in Edit Forum page) if you want the first post to be displayed in every page in the showthread.
I hope that can help.

Thank you RateU. I'll just edit the template to fit my needs and that's it. Thank you.

Is it possible to limit the description for like...50 chars in the xtld_forumdisplay_thread?

Thank you.

Set maximum length for the field?

[Skiilz]

I'm going to create one field for "Brief Description:" limited to 155 chars and another one "Site Description:" without chars limited. Then edit the templates with the new variables Thank you Zing for the suggestion.

Hey RateU, is possible to add another line to the code bellow that will show how many links are in the forums automatically?

HTML Code

<div style="text-align: center;" class="smalltext"> Link Directory<br /> Powered By <a href="http://mybbhacks.zingaburga.com">XThreads</a> - <a href="http://mybbhacks.zingaburga.com">MyBB Hacks</a> We have a total of XX links in our Link Directory. </div>
