What does this mod do?

This mod adds a 'description' to topics, enabling users to specify a little more information than a subject offers. Is set per topic, and not per message.

Can I see it working?

Take a look at the forum on http://www.supermod.org - they have a copy of the mod running there. (Screenshots don't do it justice )

Hello! It's great to see you back!!!
the link was down for the test board but it sounds like
a cool mod so I'll check it out!

also if you want I'll unlink to the version of your Flags mod I did, I noticed that your sister had OKed anyone willing to pickup your mods a while back and I needed the flags mod

My sister? I'm the "sister" you're talking about, hehe.

And it's okay, you can still keep up your version of the flags mod, I'm not sure if I'm planning on updating it. Thanks for doing it in the meanwhile.

Nice mod, only one problem... when you create a new poll, there is no space provided to enter a topic description.

[Chris Cromer]

The poll question becomes the description for it.

The poll question becomes the description for it.

I noticed, I thought it was a bug. I thought it would be better to provide a description for the polls too.

You don't know haw bad that thru me off
I like this mod! I thought I was clicking a board link instead of a topic link.

Any way yes I'm...

I thought that allowing a description for polls would be providing too much information, when the existing question information would suffice?

[Norbert]

Great mod!

I think it's better, when the description is in font-size "1" and the topic is in "2".

Code Select Expand

<font size="2"><a href="' . $cgi . ';action=display;threadid=' . $mnum . '">' . $msub . '</a> ' . $new . ' ' . $pages . '</font><font size="1"><br />' . $mdesc .'</font>';

Great mod! This is something YaBB has needed, and  I also think it would be better for the topic font size to be larger. Otherwise, it can be hard to read.

[Mach8]

I'm planning on releasing an update to the mod this weekend that will add certain preferences you can turn on and off from your admin center, such as the font size, turning the feature on, etc.

Oh, and almost forgot - I'll get rid of the hard-coded text, and try and get some German / French / etc translations as well.

[Daniel D.]

IM me if you need the translations !

[Mach8]

IM me if you need the translations !

Thanks very much, I appreciate it
Whilst I've been studying German for some time, I'd probably still make some mistakes, hehe. I can't remember my mod entirely (lol) but I think there was only one word anyway - Description - but of course in the next release they'll be mod settings, so I'll definitely need you for that. Thanks.

If you need dutch version PM me or mail me

Thanks to this post on my test forum, just realised that if the description is blank then the brackets for the description will still be displayed in the thread display. This will be fixed in the next release

And thanks, I'd appreciate any translations - I'll post the new language strings a few days before the mod is released.
