    - Your forum version must be phpBB2.


    Editing the viewtopic_body template

    Go to Administration Panel > Display > Templates > General and open the template entitled viewtopic_body.

    Locate this part of the template, which is displaying the message title and the date / time which it was posted :
    Code:
    <td><span class="postdetails"><img src="{postrow.displayed.MINI_POST_IMG}" alt="{postrow.displayed.L_MINI_POST_ALT}" title="{postrow.displayed.L_MINI_POST_ALT}" border="0" />{L_POST_SUBJECT}: {postrow.displayed.POST_SUBJECT}   <img src="{postrow.displayed.MINI_TIME_IMG}" alt="" border="0" />{postrow.displayed.POST_DATE}</span></td>


    1. If you want to display the permalink in the message title :
    phpBB2 : Display the permalink of messages Captur29

    Replace the part above with :
    Code:
    <td><span class="postdetails"><img src="{postrow.displayed.MINI_POST_IMG}" alt="{postrow.displayed.L_MINI_POST_ALT}" title="{postrow.displayed.L_MINI_POST_ALT}" border="0" />{L_POST_SUBJECT}: <a href="#{postrow.displayed.U_POST_ID}">{postrow.displayed.POST_SUBJECT}</a>   <img src="{postrow.displayed.MINI_TIME_IMG}" alt="" border="0" />{postrow.displayed.POST_DATE}</span></td>


    2. If you want to display the permalink of the message in a separate link :
    phpBB2 : Display the permalink of messages Captur30

    Replace the part above with :
    Code:
    <td><span class="postdetails"><img src="{postrow.displayed.MINI_POST_IMG}" alt="{postrow.displayed.L_MINI_POST_ALT}" title="{postrow.displayed.L_MINI_POST_ALT}" border="0" />(<a href="#{postrow.displayed.U_POST_ID}">#</a>) {L_POST_SUBJECT}: {postrow.displayed.POST_SUBJECT}   <img src="{postrow.displayed.MINI_TIME_IMG}" alt="" border="0" />{postrow.displayed.POST_DATE}</span></td>

    Do not forget to save your changes, and publish the template by clicking the green plus "Add". Wink


    Explanation

    The purpose of our modification is simple : To make a link of the message ID and location to which it refers. This is what's commonly referred to as an Anchor. In the template, {postrow.displayed.U_POST_ID} is the message ID ; so it is inserted into the link :
    Code:
    <a href="#{postrow.displayed.U_POST_ID}">…</a>

    This allows us to know and use the exact URL of a specific message.
