[CDB] Post Numbers

Post by kasimi »

Extension Name: Post Numbers (requires at least phpBB 3.1.4-RC1)

Author: kasimi

Description: Adds post numbers (#1, #2, #3 etc.) either at the top of each post after the mini image, or in the post subject. Takes effect in viewtopic, reply and MCP topic review. Can also display post IDs instead. Allows the administrator to enable Copy to Clipboard when clicking on the post number.

The idea of this extension is based on the 3.0 MOD Post number in viewtopic.

Screenshots:

I am impressed so far but there are some issues.
  • Soft deleted posts are included in the numbering - as a minimum there needs to be an option to exclude them. Not all Admins will want members to know that posts have been soft deleted.
  • Order by Author does not work.
  • Order by Subject does not work.
  • If an option for previous days other than all days is selected then only the posts that are displayed are numbered. Not all users will necessarily have the same option set and if anyone is referring to a post by number then that number needs to be the same for all users.

Thanks for your post.
  • 1) An option for this is already included in the ACP settings, see screenshot in first post.
  • 2 & 3) This extension only works for users who have set their Display topics ordering by to Post time. If a user has selected a different option, post numbers are not displayed. As you pointed out, different users can have different settings and since this extension calculates the numbers on the fly, it can't know the correct numbers for posts being displayed in an order other than post time.
  • 4) I didn't even know this setting existed. :) I will look into it.

That is the main problem with calculating on the fly

Just installed and when I try to activate it returns this error.


Something went wrong during the request and an exception was thrown. The changes made before the error occurred were reversed to the best of our abilities, but you should check the board for errors.

The migration "\kasimi\postnumbers\migrations\v1_0_0" is not fulfillable, missing migration "\phpbb\db\migration\data\v31x\v314rc1".

Return to the extension list
Any ideas?

Thanks.

Yes your right I had tried it on the 3.1.3 install rather than the 3.1.4-RC1 install, my bad THANKS for pointing this out, now its installed on the correct build it works perfectly only thing I could see wrong is the font for the number presented needs to be bigger or at the very least needs to be bold .

Thanks for the great mod.
