I'm fairly certain it was intentional, @drmike. If offers/sales threads could be bumped back up to the top, providers could easily circumvent the "once every X days" rule simply by commenting in their own threads.

I haven't thought about that. +1

drmike · December 2011

Well then how about a new posts option then?

We have providers already bumping their own threads even with the current setup.

Just hard to find all of the new threads and discussions.

How about
1. Thread bumped up when thread starter reply own thread after 14 days, otherwise it stay there.
2. Thread bumped up when other user reply on the thread.

It's back! The good ol' v2...

This is going to sound silly and I don;t know if it's an option but for whomever is coming in, being able to do up a (for example) @buyvm mention and have it show up in @Francisco queue would be a huge plus.

@drmike, only if we can say your name and see the name of your company too.

You start to be annoying, @Naruto

No, I mean it would be easier to reference the name of the company and have the person representing that company get the notice.

I'll make this happen for you. Watch me.

@LowEndAdmin, please go into /applications/conversations/models/class.conversationmessagemodel.php

Find line 266. You will see the following:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

     foreach ($NotifyUserIDs as $NotifyUserID) {
        if ($Session->UserID == $NotifyUserID)
           continue; // don't notify self.

        // Notify the users of the new message.
        $ActivityID = $ActivityModel->Add(
           $Session->UserID,
           'ConversationMessage',
           '',
           $NotifyUserID,
           '',
           "/messages/{$ConversationID}#{$MessageID}",
           FALSE
        );

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Change it to this:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

     foreach ($NotifyUserIDs as $NotifyUserID) {
        if ($Session->UserID == $NotifyUserID)
           continue; // don't notify self.

        //Start Naruto's Edit
        //Francisco's userid is 12.
        //buyvm is not a user, register it, replace ### with it's userid.
        if ($NotifyUserID == '###') {
           $NotifyUserID = '12';
        }
        //End Naruto's Edit

        // Notify the users of the new message.
        $ActivityID = $ActivityModel->Add(
           $Session->UserID,
           'ConversationMessage',
           '',
           $NotifyUserID,
           '',
           "/messages/{$ConversationID}#{$MessageID}",
           FALSE
        );

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You're welcome. I used Window's Grep and looked up "activity" in a /vanilla/ folder I unzipped. Dat easy.

That seems excessive code wise, maybe there's a way to have alias/notifications of sorts?

Granted, it'd need something quirky, or block a user named 'buyvm' from signing up.

I could code that too, @Francisco. LEA would have to be willing to:

1) Add the field 'alias' to his user tables.

2) Add in modifications that use the string instead of the UserID, but check if that string has a UserID via an added set of MySQL queries I could throw in there. If the string has a UserID, notify the user as usual.

If it does not have a UserID, check the 'alias' fields for the string with a different set of MySQL queries. Upon a match it grabs the user's ID and notifies them as usual.

We could also edit the account settings pages to include a field called "Alias:" with an input area that submits the alias string to the field using another MySQL query.

Those two simple steps. I could setup a test vanilla forum and get it working 100% then submit the changes to him if he'd like me to. He could even try it out on mine first.

@LowEndAdmin please make it so we can change our avatars without signing up for gravatar. Like this.

Aldryic · January 24

Y'know, the guy did say that one of the reasons he was stepping out was from lack of time. Bombarding him with projects and change requests on the eve of his final bow is kindof a dick move =\

Naruto · January 24

I'll show you a dick move.

And this was not just for them. Just saying in general. Say for like Hostigation as well.

That's why I said for the new admin.
