Demeter Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 On 3.2.3 it doesn't add section entitled (Pav32) Topic Description in Hooks and causes a database error :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyF Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I tested it before approval (on 3.2.3) , there was an issue if mysql was running in strict mode which I've already informed the author about but I did not note any other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavulon87 Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 There is no more 'description' field in 'topics' table and I forget to change manual. Option to change max. lenght of description is located in Forums tab on Topics, Posts and Polls section. File updated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mousie Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hey! Does this add the topic description to the New Content display as well? We've already got a mod that puts the topic description back in, but doesn't put it there... hoping this one does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavulon87 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 In the New Content is a little space, so I do not know where to put the description. You could try to find a good location. Goto ACP -> Look & Feel -> Manage Skin Sets & Templates > Manage Templates > Your Skin and open Search -> asForumTopics bit. Find topic title: <h4><a href='{parse url="showtopic={$data['tid']}<if test="isNewPostTR:|:$this->request['do']=='new_posts' OR $this->request['do']=='active'">&view=getnewpost<else /><if test="resultIsPostTR:|:$data['pid'] AND $data['pid'] != $data['topic_firstpost']">&view=findpost&p={$data['pid']}</if></if>&hl={$data['cleanSearchTerm']}&fromsearch=1" seotitle="{$data['title_seo']}" template="showtopic" base="public"}' title='{$this->lang->words['view_result']}'>{$data['_shortTitle']}</a></h4>[/CODE] and add somewhere topic description: {$data['description']} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demeter Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Thanx! Now it works fine on test board :smile: But I am going to upgrade my main board from 3.1.4 to 3.2.3.. So, will the old topic descriptions be handled by this hook ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavulon87 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 That's why it was created, to handle existing descriptions ;) IPB update does not remove descriptions, but if you install this hook and remove it, all descriptions could be removed(because of added field not existing in 3.2).

Pavulon87 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Try installing a new version. This should be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
americanwx Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 The only issue I have is that when I go into the full editor mode, the description field is blank. If you save without editing, the description is unchanged, however it would be convenient to have a default input of the current description when in full editor mode just as the topic title is done. I am using IPB v. 3.2.3 with your latest hook (1.0.2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavulon87 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Try to download file one more time and reimport hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connorhawke Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 This is a highly requested past feature and it's great that you brought it back, but it would be much better if it was a simple install and didn't require manual skin edits.

TCWT Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 A very much needed hook. Thanks a lot. I better remember not to delete this mod, the risk of losing all descriptions. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genestoy Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I just installed this on my test board after upgrading it from 3.1.4 to 3.2.3 and it does not show any "Topic Descriptions" that were there before the upgrade? It does however show any new ones added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavulon87 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Did you installed it only once or maybe removed and installed again? Is the field "description" available(and filled) in the table "topics" after the upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genestoy Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hi, Yes it was only installed just once and the field "description" is showing on the editor page but is blank on all topics, weird I just checked again and now the descriptions are there!

theblackelk Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Thank you. This was much needed and the removed descriptions almost swayed me away from upgrading from 3.1.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearvision Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Was just looking at upgrading and found out they took away topic descriptions.... major problem for us. Hopefully this will work, but I'm really pissed this feature was taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmacleo Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 the database tables are still there after upgrading to 3.2x, so installing this then reads them. I didn't have many (on test board) but mine were pulled correctly. live board was a fresh 3.2 install so can't really say for sure there would be no issues.

pietro.curti Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hello, I've installed Topic Description v.1.0.0 on my IPB 3.2.3. and it works good. 1- I've only imported the hook file (Step1 of the installation)... just now I see Step2 (ACP Setup) and Step3 (Skin edits) in the installation guide. I have to do these steps? Now it seems work properly... 2- With this hook enabled I have problems with IP.Board.Mobile Skin... exactly if I try to click on "modify" or "Quote" button in each post that function doesn't work. How can I fix it? Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavulon87 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 1. Hook should not works in the standard IPB skin without editing, but if work, you don't have to do anything. 2. I don't see "modify" or "quote" buttons in Mobile skin. There is only "reply" button. Could you show me screenshots of that problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
