Ah great, no need to worry any longer past that stage.

Hello,

You can do it yourself.

The description is wrapped in a block with class (topics list page) or ID (topic view page) nbTopicDescription

Can you explain a little more or steps I should to do? I am not coder.

Download version 1.0.2 and click on "Upload new version" on ACP to update the plugin

Hi there

Thanks for this plugin - been using it successfully for a while.

Just wanted to know if there are there likely to be any problems with 4.3.1. (currently on 4.2.9)?

I had a failed upgrade where all the topic links failed after the upgrade so had to roll back - I am now trying to eliminate possible causes.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

 

Just wanted to know if there are there likely to be any problems with 4.3.1. (currently on 4.2.9)?

I haven't problems.

@newbie LAC For some reason the descriptions have disappeared from mine. However, they are still in the database.

I upgraded from 4.2.8 to 4.3.3

I'm 99% certain they were still there after the upgrade. However, I also updated the plugin to the latest version I found in the marketplace and I'm not sure I checked after doing that.

Any ideas as to what I can do? Can I try installing a previous version over the latest I have? (I've still got a copy of the previous one)

Hello,

Have you enable Designer's mode? I can look into that if you give me credentials

No, no designer mode. PM sent.

Good Day,

I installed this plugin today and we're loving having the topic description!

I was wondering if it is possible to change the field's title? If so, where and how would I do that? I am very low-tech, only marginally computer and code savvy so give me the Village Idiot version of the steps and instructions.

I would like to change the field title from Description to Characters.

Thank you for the plugin and for your help,

Yes

Hello @newbie LAC

The description is a new field / attribute ??? Or is the text that is added to a theme that is previewed as a description?

Hello,

New field like topic title.

@newbie LAC Will this be updated for 4.5 as it has potential for different sites for this to continue forward?

I just upgraded to the new 1.03 version on 4.5.  The old version was working after I got to 4.5.  The 1.03 version seems to be running something(s) very intensive on the forum page showing all topics.  Getting very slow responses to the point of timing out sometimes.  Disabled the plugin and things are back to normal.

I know for 4.5 you had to split off data from the standard tables to your own.  Not sure if somehow reading those is causing the issue as even reading a page worth of topic descriptions with queries should not slow down that much.

Thank you for the report. I'll look into this.

@newbie LAC Is there any way to add a clickable link?  In my old forum we had a topic description and the ability to add a link next to it?  Any way to do this?  Thank you.

What's the link? Is this link on the topic?
