Does this need to be updated for 5.2?

With Thomas' help, this works for 5.2.

How will it behave with 3 view options rather than 2?

it simply knows only the two current ones.

A simple tweak to make it multi-lingual - in your templates you can now use:

{IF SWITCHURL}{LANG->switch_view}•{/IF}

(Or without the • - I'm using it on the read pages.)

English, Dutch and Dutch informal included.

That is not really true. The module has quite some code that is used to remember the user's setting for the view mode in the database. Removing the check for being logged in will not make this work like intended. There is no user 0 in the database to store the data for. At best it would become a shared setting for all users with user ID 0, but that's not the case.

To remember the setting for anonymous users, one should use another storing mechanism like cookies to remember the view setting.

to let everyone know, this module can be easily hacked to allow non logged in users to change the view as well because the anonymous user is a user as well and has a user ID of 0
all you have to do is remove the check to see if the user is logged in and the module will work for both logged in and non logged in users

it would really help if there was a way for this module to work without the user being logged in, has anyone gotten it working that way or gotten a hold of the person who did?

ok, I found the problem, there is a template read.tpl for the flat view and another template read_threads.tlp for the threaded view.

thanks

depends on where you added the button for this.
probably you only added this to one template but not the one for the other view.

Hello,

That sounds exactly as what I need! Could you please post your module here?

rewrited you mod
flat [forums.vl.ru]

tree [forums.vl.ru]

-> not logged (not registered) guests can switch tree/flat, setting saved in cookies.

usually readers more than writers ;)

sounds like a corrupt link. check the way you built in the link.

strange mistake after changing template layout

pat — Sun, 05 Sep 2004 14:58:04 -0500

Hi,

after messing around with the layout of my templates I lost the functionality of this mod.

I can only switch once (from normal to threaded) now and are trapped with threaded somehow - no getting back to normal.

Any idea what that's all about?

thanx
pat

Re: Module for switching the read-/list-view

Thomas Seifert — Tue, 06 Jul 2004 06:06:12 -0500

yeah it switches the user-setting so it can only work for logged-on users.

Re: Module for switching the read-/list-view

hkbb — Tue, 06 Jul 2004 06:03:27 -0500

I got it working flawlessly. But seems it only work for a logged-on user? The link doesn't show up after the user logged-off.

Re: Module for switching the read-/list-view

Thomas Seifert — Mon, 05 Jul 2004 10:00:25 -0500

sounds like you are not using the one from my last post.
that was fixed there.

Re: Module for switching the read-/list-view

ferd — Mon, 05 Jul 2004 09:28:28 -0500

Useful feature. However whenever I RELOAD the page, it flips between threaded and non-threaded that's not desired. Can it be fixed? Thanks.

Re: not working

Thomas Seifert — Sun, 04 Jul 2004 12:27:08 -0500

It IS already compressed with the foldername.
you just have to give the decompressor the right switch to use the foldername as given in zip-archive.

attached is a new version with some more reliable url-generation. previously a reload of the page switched the view also.

Re: Module for switching the read-/list-view - Now working

pat — Sun, 04 Jul 2004 12:02:05 -0500

Hi,

I've got it working now. What was the mistake? Well, I named the folder where the mod-files go into something different than "viewswitch" but it has to be named exactly like that for the mod to work. So, Thomas I suggest, that you include the folder into your zip-file to avoid confusion in the future.

Thank you again, for the mod it's exactly what I was desperatly trying to write in an earlier attempt. With no success of course.

thanx
pat

Hi Thomas,

I don't remember the exact phrase of the Error message but it said something about a a thing being not defined in common.php somewhere around line 300 if you want I could try to switch back to 5.0.6 to tell you more.

And yes, I enabled it in the admin and put the link in header.php as you suggested.

thanx
pat

Re: not working

Thomas Seifert — Sun, 04 Jul 2004 03:06:43 -0500

what error-message?
how did you include it?
did you enable it in the admin and put the link in the template?

not working

pat — Sat, 03 Jul 2004 15:27:19 -0500

Hi Thomas,

thank you for the mod. First I tried it with 5.0.6 Beta but got an error-message, then tried with latest CVS but nothing - not even an Error ;-)

What's wrong?

thanx

Module for switching the read-/list-view

Thomas Seifert — Fri, 02 Jul 2004 02:44:33 -0500

I've made a simple module which allows to switch the view (threaded / flat) on the list and/or read-page.

It switches the user-setting for showing flat/threaded list/read so it will remain set for all forums once used.

After you enabled the module you've got the new var SWITCHURL available in the templates which you can use to switch the view.
Just add this link somewhere in your templates.
I.e. I've put this in header.tpl:
{if SWITCHURL}
switch view
{/if}

Have fun with it!
