When posts are sorted in DESC order, after posting a topic, the forum redirects to the last page

I have changed stuff so the last post is always on top of the first page.
Can i anchor the redirecting to the first post instead off the last?

Let me make myself clear on this....

I have changed the forum orders to ASC instead of DESC and the problem that i have is that when a user posts a message, the forum goes to the last page instead of the first page.
I know it's an anchorthing, so team please let me know if it is possibble to change the page redirects.

i'm confused.. have you changed post order or forum order?

The forum order looks like this:

Suppose there are 4 pages filled with posts.
The last post is now on top off page 1 ASC instead off page 4 DESC
When someone replies on the last post wich is on page 1 and pushes the submit button, the forum shows page 4 instead off page 1 where the last post is at that moment.

This is redirect algorithm. You need to change also bb_pthread. When header("location"...) goes to page=-1, it goes to the last page. You need to set location's page to 0.

I cannot seem to find this in bb_func_pthread

Is it somewhere near this anchor:

$totalPosts = (integer) DB_query(6,0);
$vmax = (integer) $viewmaxreplys;
$anchor = $totalPosts;
if ($anchor>$vmax) { $anchor = $totalPosts-((floor($totalPosts/$vmax))*$vmax); if ($anchor==0) $anchor=$vmax;}
}
?>

Sorry... you'll find it in index.php
Look for page=$page

Got it ;)

The best forum i ever had is mini_bb !!
keep up the good work.....

I have got the same problem and I can´t find header("location"...) in index.php . Can anybody help?

Look up for:

header("Location

in index.php and you'll find if($action=='pthread') { above this code. This is a place of redirection.

Nothing changed here for about 2 years :)

I found this:

if($action=='pthread') {
if (!isset($errorMSG)) {
if(isset($anchor)) $anchor='#msg'.$anchor; else $anchor='';
if(file_exists($pathToFiles.'bb_plugins2.php')) require_once($pathToFiles.'bb_plugins2.php');
if(isset($metaLocation)) {
$meta_relocate="{$main_url}/{$indexphp}action=vthread&forum=$forum&top ic=$topic&page=$page{$ancho

r}"; echo ParseTpl(makeUp($metaLocation)); exit; } else { if(isset($mod_rewrite) and

$mod_rewrite) $furl=$forum.'_'.$topic.'_'.$page.'.html'.$anchor; else

$furl="{$indexphp}action=vthread&forum=$forum&topic=$topic&page=$page{ $anchor}";
header("Location: {$main_url}/{$furl}"); exit; }
}

But I still don´t know what to change there

In general, what are you trying to achieve? Why do you need to change something there? If you are not experienced PHP coder, we are not the right people to teach you.

I´ve changed the posts order so the newest posts are on the first page, but when I add new post it redirects me to the last page instead of the first one.

Ok, so in the code above, you need to replace $page to '0' everywhere you can find it.

Thanks very much! It works now!
