I use the 'profile forum' setup on my site, and the jrForum module.
Recently we were given the setting choice of reversing the order of Forum posts, so that the newest are on top, and that's what I switched to. I really like it ordered this way (especially good for mobile users) but it means there are a couple 'bumps' I need to resolve to make things smooth while having newest posts first/top.
Here is one little thing, can you advise me how to change the code here please?:
In my jrForum module templates, the email_topic_updated_message.tpl LINK takes people to (for example) page 18 of a long thread, as in this example:
---------------
A forum topic you are following has had a new post:
member: Anne Maguire
posted in: Show Us Your Pets!
- Do NOT hit "Reply" to this email. -
To see and respond to the new post,
Click this link: http://fotmd.com/forums/forum/off-topic-discussions/11944/show-us-your-pets/p=18
---------------------
Now with the forum post order reversed, page 18 contains the threads OLDEST posts, so the member has to figure out to use the pager to navigate to page 1 which is where the newest post is. This has been extremely confusing for members (and shouldn't be a two-step process for them anyway).
The problem (as I see it) is that the above emailnotification template says this:
To see and respond to the new post,
Click this link: {$forum_topic_url}The notification link is sending them to the discussion 'topic page' which now contains the OLDEST posts, not the new post they're being notified about.
Since I've reversed my forum posts to be newest-to-oldest, how do I now change this email notification link code to send people to the latest/newest post, or at least to the page with the newest posts, (or maybe simply to "page 1"?), of the forum discussion?
Thanks for any help!
