1.9 Forum hack: post permanlinks / "See this post in context"

1.9 Forum hack: post permanlinks / "See this post in context"

In 1.9, how can I hack the post permalink into the forum?

mod/forum/user.php generates a permalink (See this post in context) with the following code:

$fulllink = "discussion#p$post->id\">".get_string("postincontext", "forum")."";
forum_print_post($post, $discussion, $forum, $cms[$forum->id], $course, false, false, false, $ratings, $fulllink);

 

How can I generate the permalink in posts in the forum (mod/forum/discuss.php)? I've tried cutting and pasting various parts of the above code in both discuss.php and lib.php, but have not been successful.  How can $fulllink be instantiated in the forum?

Any suggestions are greatly apprecaited.

Why not generate $fullink inside the forum_print_post function?

Also, the URL looks wrong. The %5C bit is weird. Not that the code for the permalink will be very like the code for the 'Parent post' link, just with a different post id.

Finally, not that ForumNG already has permalinks.

Hi Tim,

The forum seems to have messed up the URL in my initial post.

Thanks for the suggestion.  It pointed me in the right direction.  I've now added $fulllink to the forum_print_post function, and also had to add it to the $commands array as well.  Now the link is showing up.  Here are the steps:

1. add $fulllink to forum_print_post in lib.php:

function forum_print_post($post, $discussion, $forum, &$cm, $course, $ownpost=false, $reply=false, $link=false,
 $ratings=NULL, $footer="", $highlight="", $post_read=null, $dummyifcantsee=true, $istracked=null, $fulllink) {
...
$fulllink = "<a href=\"discuss.php?d=$post->discussion#p$post->id\">".get_string("postincontext", "forum")."</a>";
...
}


2. add $fulllink to the $commands array in lib.php:

if ($fulllink) {
 $commands[] = '<a href="'.$CFG->wwwroot.'/mod/forum/discuss.php?d='.$post->discussion.'#p'.$post->id.'">'.
 get_string('postincontext', 'forum').'</a>';
 }

One question I have is how to set permissions so that only teachers can see $fulllink.  Maybe I should read some before asking, but any pointers are appreciated.

To answer my own question, I copied in a permission that only teachers and above have as follows:

if ($fulllink and $cm->cache->caps['mod/forum:splitdiscussions'])

This will serve my purposes just fine.
