Creating your own relevant replacements in vBulletin

[ArnyVee]

If you guys are trying to do the $threadinfo['preview'] thing, all you have to do is follow this article....

description for meta and bookmarksite on showthread - vBulletin.org Forum and this post ..... vBulletin.org Forum - View Single Post - How to use "$thread[preview]" in meta description

....and it'll add the threadpreview into the meta and then you can use the same $threadinfo['preview'] and add it to your showthread like this....

How is this done on AA? First few words of post showing in....

....hope that helps!

How much does $threadinfo['preview'] give you from the thread, I mean how many words or characters?

Thank you Arny!

I believe it was about 150 characters or so. You can check it here: Magic Kingdom Disney Forum

First 25 words from a thread, I believe, the product is on my list of things to release.

Its a pretty good idea releasing this as a product, I can imagine plenty of people without vbseo using it!

[ArnyVee]

Yes, if described properly and you state all of the benefits of it, then folks will add it as a mod.

Is someone able to explain what exactly is a "relevant replacements"? This sounds interesting, and I looked at Nick's site, but since I don't know what I am looking for, I am confused?

if you go to my site, let's say, this thread: http://explosivegfx.com/forum/woah-check-out-t827.html

You'll see my product in action, I still have to fix up the code, but basically what it does is add this box:



with the first "x" words from the thread, in this case, it's the first 150 characters, I'm currently looking at the plugin to see if I can allow it to post a set defined number.

In my Additional CSS Definitions,I have added this code to it,

/* ***** H1 Tags ***** */
h1.myh1 {font-family: Arial; font-size: 20px;
color: #26546F; font-weight: bold;}

h2.myh2 {font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;
color: #26546F; font-weight: bold;}

It is quite different than what is posted here,
and I dont think I have done an edit to my navbar,

Should this code work?

[Mikey]

Errm, "h1.myh1", doesn't that indicate a class? So you'd have to <h1 class="myh1"> ? I've not seen classes assigned to the H tags, so I dunno if that'd work?

I think it's better to either do a div#myh1 and do that as "<div id="myh1"> $threadinfo['preview']</div>", or if you want to style all the H1's and H2's on your site, just do it like you have, but remove the "myh1", so

h1 {
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 20px; 
color: #26546F; 
font-weight: bold;
}

Hello Mikey,

I am really not to good with code and I found this edit/mod on a vb skin website.

I do have vbseo,

So if you help me with any suggestions about whether I should remove this code and start again would be a great help.

Ryan

It goes to show that you should not trust everything you see on vb sites
