New posts and reputation comments.

[Paul M]

This modification is no longer available or supported.

The 3.6 port of this simple hack with some small changes.

This displays the number of new posts since your last visit & the number of new reputation comments since you last checked your usercp - both are displayed in the welcome panel.

Changes ;

* Fixed bug of them not showing on error pages.
* Either can be now turned off with a setting in vBulletin Options > Display New Posts and Reputation.

Notes:

If upgrading from the 3.5 version then you will need to re-do the template changes.
Versions 3.21+ do not require any manual template changes. See Post #167 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1356586)

nice, thanks.

[FleaBag]

Thanks for the update Paul. :)

[bing11]

thank you

[Paul M]

Come on people, if you use this then please remember to click on that install link. :)

[wtrk]

hey paul, it didnt work for me. no changes made to the templates. im using the default vb 3.6.0 template.

[Paul M]

What do you mean "no changes made to the templates" ?

This has template changes, if you don't make them then it's not going to work ....

[wtrk]

What do you mean "no changes made to the templates" ?

This has template changes, if you don't make them then it's not going to work ....

i see you updated the zip. the first version you uploaded only had the xml in it, no info on what template changes to make so i assumed that the plugin did it during the install process. i just dl'd the zip again and i see you have updated it with the required info.

[Paul M]

I haven't changed or re-uploaded the zip. :confused:

[Selene]

nice hack.

installed it!

[RaceJunkie]

Paul can this be used with the Count of unread posts in the welcome box you have as well? I have that one installed and would like this as well.

[Roxie]

I will try it out! Thanks Paul. :)

[Paul M]

Paul can this be used with the Count of unread posts in the welcome box you have as well? I have that one installed and would like this as well.Well apart from the fact it seems a bit odd to run both as they do similar things, there is no technical reason I can think of that you cannot.

[Roxie]

Works great.

[mat]

fyi: "display reputation" has to be enabled for members who want to view the "new reputation comments" in the userinfo box.

took me a while to figure out :)

[GoNz00]

so if my boards rep system is turned off it will only show the new posts?

i like the way yours is laid out compared to the other version on here that says Number Of Unread Posts: 0

[GoNz00]

dont work for me or my members, other hack works fine & i have reinstalled it, but your shows unread posts even when they have been read ?

[Paul M]

Correct, this is new posts, not unead posts.

Unread posts is a different mod, this was it's predecessor (from vb's 3.0 days) but is still used by many people.

[rinkrat]

Someone just asked what happened to this. Thanks for the 3.6 update. :)

[Roxie]

When trying to access the new posts link from another directory (ie. /gallery/) the link is prefixed with /gallery/. I tried to edit the profile to set the complete link (worked on 3.5) but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

[Paul M]

You would have to edit the phrases to put in full paths instead of relative ones.

[Roxie]

Wonderful! Found it thanks! :)

[Lottis]

Thanks Paul M, fore updating this hack.
But this time it wont work.
I have uploaded the product and done the templates changes.
And done the editing in CP. It wont register new posts and reputation comments. Ore it wont count the numbers, of new rwp comment ore new post.

[GoNz00]

yeh i tried saying it still showed posts AFTER they had been read, and got told it was ment to do this ?

[Lottis]

yeh i tried saying it still showed posts AFTER they had been read, and got told it was ment to do this ?
No, in the earlyer versions, it will tell you fex; There is 900 new posts and you have 4 new reputation comments.
Now it wont tell anything. Just, new posts.

[Lottis]

Gonzoo; I have uninstalled it and went back to the version fore 3.5, it works. ;)

[Paul M]

Both work fine.

[version2]

Someone want to tell me how I can get the:

"New Posts since your last visit: XXX"

BELOW the:

"You have no new reputation comments."

Or above it. I just don't like it right under the Welcome message.

[Paul M]

Just move the template edits to suit where you want them.

[version2]

It seemed that when I moved them to the bottom...below all the usual welcome stuff...nothing showed up. When I put them in where your instructions told me...they showed up. Very strange. I understand it is a very simple text edit and I am not a complete moron...so I dunno what happened.

[LILMORA4]

installed..:)

[geevest.com]

rep comment not work in mozilla firefox

[Paul M]

Yes it does.

[Paul M]

I've cleaned up the plugins slightly, and altered the phrasing so it's much more like the pre 3.6 versions.

[sabret00the]

merci :)

[wcbryant]

One issue I ran into with this is my CMPS front page is 'below' the /forum directory structure, so the phrased links were breaking, but only from that front page. For the moment, I hardcoded the full URL to the search page into the two main "new post" phrases as $vboptions[bburl]/ didn't work. Wondering if there's a better solution?

[Paul M]

use "/forum/search.php", that should work.

[Lottis]

Im sorry, but i have troubel with this.
It wont show how many new post.

[Paul M]

You'll have to be a bit more specific than that.

Also, have you done the template edits ?

[Lottis]

You'll have to be a bit more specific than that.

Also, have you done the template edits ?
Yes i did the templates edits.
I went back to your version 3.5 and now it works.
It only stood; Be Post; since last visit ...... blank. ;)

[wii]

Can this be modified to show in the header between calendar and seach, like this:

Calendar - New Posts (45) - Search

45 is just an example, this would be post count.

Thanks

[texasf1racer]

Thx very much, works nicely! :)

[abramelin]

installed! this is a lovely mod. thanks Paul but there is only one thing unnecessary. If the user have no comments then it always shows the "you have no reput comments" how can we disable it. I think if the system only warns the user when a new comment come is much better. because navbar is a limited area and its not good to list unnecessary phrased there.

[Paul M]

I'm happy with it as it is. :cool:

If you want to change it then you will need to edit the plugin "New Posts and Reputation (1)"

Change
$vbulletin->userinfo['rcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['no_new_reputation'],$repcount['rcount']);to
$show['rcount'] = false;

[abramelin]

ohh sorry i looked it now and it was working just likely what i want. thanks paul :)

[Paul M]

I don't understand the question. The count is already reset when you visit the usercp to read them.

[imranbaig]

Hey Paul, nice hack, Is there a way to Deduct one from some one who is giving negative reputation so that it regulates unnecessary reps?

[TheBlackPoet]

works great.. fills out that empty space with meaningful information...

thank you

[Canis Firebrand]

Nice modification.

I already had in place your unread posts one. But I wanted a notification for new reputation comments. So, I installed this one, and just made the template edit for the rep comments part.

Works like a charm.

Thanks again!

[MillerLight]

Paul,

Works great, thanks for your continued dedication.

Hmm this adds 2 queries - so not really a good idea for big boards. Too bad great idea.

[Paul M]

I always find the obsession some people have with the number of queries amusing. The number of queries is not really significant, it's what they do that matters.

[hendri]

i try in 3.6.4 and cannot work ??

why on navbar template step 2 :

find :
<if condition="$show['pmwarning']"><br /><strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>

Add below ;

<if condition="$show[rcount]"><br />$bbuserinfo[rcount]</if>

i cannot find it????

before i use for version 3.5 and it is ok

[hendri]

and nothing show up after i try to upgrade.

[Paul M]

If you haven't made the template changes then obviously it's not going to work.

The code searched for in both changes is present in the default vb navbar template. I can't take into account any changes you may already have made, or non standard navbar templates.

[hendri]

yes. i try update the templates... and it works again.

[LJR]

Thanks (already marked as installed on a previous version and now here too).

[flynnibus]

I've noticed some differences between this and your 3.5 version

the 3.5 version says 'no unread posts' this one shows '0 unread posts'

the 3.6 version hyperlink does not include the number only the 'unread posts' text is the hyperlink.

Intentional? I kinda like the 3.5 styles a bit better.

[Paul M]

Are you sure you have the right modification ? This does not display unread posts at all.

[Red Matrix]

This file has a hidden but empty folder in it, called CVS. (or was it just me?)
It works fine, though. INSTALLED

[Paul M]

Just delete the CVS folder.

Thanks for the great mods!

I always find the obsession some people have with the number of queries amusing. The number of queries is not really significant, it's what they do that matters.

You're 100% right there. 10 queries aren't necessarily worse than 1 single huge query.

Installed and working great.

By the way, how does it keep track of new posts? I'm assuming it isn't doing a large query every time but you made a table that remembers from each visit?

thanks
-vissa

[Paul M]

No, this does not add any tables (but it does add an index).

It runs a simple select on the post & reputation tables.

[Lionel]

I understand that this displays according to last visit, but is there a way to prevent it to display xx New Posts since last visit when all new posts have been read?

[Paul M]

No, this does not have any facilities related to unread posts.

[trd167]

installed and running. thanks

[flynnibus]

Do a 'mark all forums as read' at the bottom of your main page to catch up if you've just switched your read method to database. changing from cookies to database seems to leave some chaos at first. But once you 'catch up' you should be fine

i have been using this option all along

Database (automatic forum marking)


Which is accurate, but like Paul says, looks like the lastvisit cannot be bypassed unless we do a compare with database for 0 unread

[Doglet]

Well done Paul. Just installed it and two of my users have already commented. :cool:

[Mecho]

Thanks for update ...

but take a look to this pic :

[Paul M]

Oh yeah, thread version updated.

[Makc666]

Paul M
I noticed that in this mode you use:
No <strong><a href="search.php?do=getnew">New Posts</a></strong> since your last visit.

And in your MOD:
Count of unread posts in the welcome box
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123886

you use:
<strong>No <a href=\"search.php?do=getnew\">Unread Posts</a></strong> since your last visit.

The difference is in symbol \ before "

If it is important than maybe we have to update this MOD?

[Terminatoronly]

thnx alot installed :D

[wii]

Can this be modified to just show the number of new posts, so I can use it in the header navigation, like this: New Posts (23) ?

[wii]

Ok, I got it working as I wanted.

I notice that if someone post something in a hidden forum, that count is still visible for everyone ? Even people who can´t see that post !?

[Paul M]

That's correct, there is no permission checking in this version.

[wii]

Is there a new version on the way ?

[Paul M]

Nope.

[wii]

Ok, would it be hard to change current version to check for permissions ?

Thanks

[Paul M]

No, I don't think it's very hard - however, this is basically a very old 3.0 mod that has been ported to 3.5 & then 3.6 simply because quite a few people use it. I no longer use it, not is it ever going to get any new features. When 3.5 came along it was basically replaced by the Unread Posts modification.

[wii]

Ok, so does the Unread Posts MOD have the permission check ?

[Paul M]

Yes.

[wii]

I will take a look.

Thanks

[technishawn]

nice. I like it... I only used the reputation part though... I am using the unread post mod so the new post modifcation is unnecessary.

[cheekymonk3y]

man, its taken me ages to find this hack & the new posts in welcome block hack....but worth the time for sure

EDIT: oh, this one does both and makes that other hack void

[Paul M]

EDIT: oh, this one does both and makes that other hack voidNot exactly - be aware of the difference - this is new posts, the other is unread posts. They are not the same thing.

[mamashid]

I may be missing something here, I cant seem to be able to find the navigation bar template to make the changes.

[mamashid]

I made the changes still not working!!

[mamashid]

anybody?

[Paul M]

You're not going to get much help unless you give details, I'm not psychic. :)

I got it working, thank you!!!

[deezelpope]

I tried to "mark as installed" AND I tried to vote, but neither would allow me to. I'll try again later. Thanks again!

[lunarmodule]

Awesome, Paul. I've looked for 4 mods I wanted to install over the last couple days and all of them are done by you! :) Top work.

Question though. I have it installed and working but I would like to only use the reputation portion and disable the "new posts" part. In the 3.5 version disabling was easy, in the plugin manager, but I don't see the same ability in this version.

Is it possible to disable the "new posts" part and leave the "new reputation comments" part active?

[lunarmodule]

Nevermind. Got it. Durrr. :/

Thanks again.

[The Notorious]

Nice hack, installed.

[ePrOmD]

i?ve installed it on vb 3.6.4 (and i?ve marked it as installed :D jeje)
but i?ve the following problem.. the new post counter. seams not to update the real state of the unread posts :S

for example...

a user post ... the counter show 1 post unread
another user post ... the counter show 2 post unread
if, i post too ............... the counter show 3 post unread? :S

if i read the 3 post.. the counter go on showing the same number : 3
if i loggout my sesion.. when i loggin again.. the counter show the real number of unread posts: 0

can U help me?? i?ll estimate a lot! tks!

[Paul M]

Please read post #91.

[ePrOmD]

OOO sorry!! :$ , and I am grateful for you for indicating myself where to find the help.

Now I ask U the following thing: it is possible to annul the new messages counter to enable a hack of unread messages counter.
Or to adapt some blocks in your hack in order that instead of new messages it could show unread messages?

Thank you very much!

[Paul M]

For unread posts you need this ;

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123886

[ePrOmD]

yes i know about that hack.. but i wanna get the new reputation report, and the unread post counter :D, but not the new posts..
it s possible to do that?

thanks paul!

[Paul M]

There is no released version that will do that.

However, if you install both, you can turn off the new posts display in this mod, so just the new reputation is displayed, and the other mod will display the unread posts.

[rjmjr69]

If I do not use the latest post part of the template mod does that affect anything? It display's properly and the site seems to work correctly.

[Paul M]

I don't quite follow what you mean. There is an option in the ACP to turn of each half of the mod, just use that, otherwise you may still be running the SQL.

[rjmjr69]

Ah that I did not notice. thank you . What I should have explained was that I did not include in the template the first part of the edit. "New Posts"
The real reason is with my custom skin and other edits. I could not find the right place to insert the code I tried everywhere and I figured its sorta redundant anyhow. That information is already displayed via other add on's hacks....
So I would be safe to assume that not installing that portion of the template edit and turning that portion off in the admcp would be ok and have no ill affects?

Thank you for a great addition

[glorify]

Used the New posts portion ;)

[Aimee1969]

thanks....my members were requesting the rep comments be displayed so they didn't have to keep checking. Good mod!!

[antiher0]

just what i was looking for :)

[mmmender]

Problem........

My welcome box already has a hack, it currently looks like this:

Welcome, mmmender.
223 Unread Posts since your last visit.
You last visited: Yesterday at 7:07 AM
Private Messages: Unread 9, Total 124.

I was unable to do step 2 of your instructions......


Step 2.

In the Navbar template ;

Find ;

<if condition="$show['pmwarning']"><br /><strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>

Add below ;

<if condition="$show[rcount]"><br />$bbuserinfo[rcount]</if>


Because where it tells me to find......

In the Navbar template ;

Find ;

<if condition="$show['pmwarning']"><br /><strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>
This part does not exist in my navbar template.

All I really want anyway is the display new rep comments to appear in the welcome box, I can live without the new posts part of the hack.

Can you provide any assistance please? This really is the hack I've been waiting for and would love to get it working!

Thanks in advance,

Leesa

(btw, running 3.6.5)

[Paul M]

If that isn't there then you must have something similar. Without access to your template there really isn't much I can tell you.

[mmmender]

[Zerovb]

Thanks Paul Great Mod As Usual

[Paul M]

How about I give you access to my admincp? Check your PM's for details.You are not using 3.6 templates, your navbar still seems to be a 3.5 version so you will need to look for the following ;

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

Installed this but gave it a bit of a diffrent wording. It now reads:
Welcome, Adam.
You last visited: Today at 10:00 AM

[steve71]

I was wondering..anyway to modify this hack so it ONLY notify's when a new rep comment is given? I don't necessarily need the "new posts" and PM features.

There is no released version that will do that.

However, if you install both, you can turn off the new posts display in this mod, so just the new reputation is displayed, and the other mod will display the unread posts.

OK..where is this mod listed in admin cp? Under what title?

Please read the main post ;

* Either can be now turned off with a setting in vbulletin options > general settings.

[marlena]

OK i feel like i'm asking a stupid question here, but if there are no new reputation comments how do you get to the screen that displays all your past rep comments?

[SBlueman]

it should be in the first page of your user control panel.

BTW....does anyone know what needs to be done to have the links work on the vBadvanced portal home page? And can someone explain it in layman's terms to me? I am new to vBulletin and am still learning the ropes. I saw someone mentioned it on page 2 of this thread but I honestly did not understand the solution......sorry for being so ignorant.

Great Mod, thanks Paul :)

[aranthorn]

Everyone keeps asking if they can exclude forums, well, that's a different table in vBulletin. What I did is remove a user. I my case this is an RSS bot. So here's what I did.
Original New Posts and Reputation (1) Plugin:
$repcount = array();
$postcount = array();
$show['pcount'] = $vbulletin->options['npr1'];
$show['rcount'] = $vbulletin->options['npr2'];

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
if ($show['pcount'])
{
$postcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("
SELECT COUNT(dateline) AS pcount
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post
WHERE dateline > {$vbulletin->userinfo[lastvisit]}
");
}
if ($show['rcount'])
{
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['showreputation'])
{
$repcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("
SELECT COUNT(dateline) AS rcount
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."reputation
WHERE userid = {$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]}
AND dateline > {$vbulletin->userinfo[lastrepcheck]}
");
}
}

if ($postcount['pcount'] == 0)
{
$vbulletin->userinfo['pcount'] = $vbphrase['npr_no_posts'];
}
else
{
if ($postcount['pcount'] == 1)
{
$vbulletin->userinfo['pcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['npr_posts'],$postcount['pcount'],$vbphrase['npr_single_post']);
}
else
{
$vbulletin->userinfo['pcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['npr_posts'],$postcount['pcount'],$vbphrase['npr_plural_post']);
}
}

if ($repcount['rcount'] == 0)
{
$vbulletin->userinfo['rcount'] = $vbphrase['npr_no_reputation'];
}
else
{
if ($repcount['rcount'] == 1)
{
$vbulletin->userinfo['rcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['npr_reputation'],$repcount['rcount'],$vbphrase['npr_single_comment']);
}
else
{
$vbulletin->userinfo['rcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['npr_reputation'],$repcount['rcount'],$vbphrase['npr_plural_comment']);
}
}
}

Have a look at this bit:
if ($show['pcount'])
{
$postcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("
SELECT COUNT(dateline) AS pcount
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post
WHERE dateline > {$vbulletin->userinfo[lastvisit]}
");
}

This is where you can manually tweak the query.
if ($show['pcount'])
{
$postcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("
SELECT COUNT(dateline) AS pcount
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post
WHERE dateline > {$vbulletin->userinfo[lastvisit]}
AND userid != 13476
");
}
I added the bold text. The userid is my RSS poster bot userid. You can exclude any of the following by changing my "userid" to one on the list below and my "13476" to whatever floats your boat.

I don't recommend anyone do this unless you know what your doing!

I'm only showing you the query used and possibilities to tweak it and the only reason I'm doing that is because Paul M has stated he's not adding any features to this kick ass mod.

Here are the fields than can be played with:
postid
threadid
parentid
username
userid
title
dateline
pagetext
allowsmilie
showsignature
ipaddress
iconid
visible
attach
infraction
reportthreadid


Paul M ~ if you don't like what I've posted here, I totally understand and will delete the post. Just let me know.

[Paul M]

I have nothing against people posting ways to customise it, I just won't add anything to the default mod (or support any customisations). :)

[Veronica Vain]

Hi I know this will probably sound dumb but I'm new to programming and hacks, I was looking through my ftp and I can't send to find the file Navbar template. Can some one point me to where that would be?

[Ba$im]

[Paul M]

[adom7]

hi, Paul
Great mod and installed.
But i got a problem.
While I was installing it on admincp, i got a 500 internal server error. The page can not displayed. And then, i repaired the database through my server cp. After the page displayed for a while then a minute later it shows blank page.
I guess, there are some changes on forum/ files.
I am a newbie so i am not good at like these functions.
Could you write the files which I have to reupload on my forum?
Last backup 08.16.2007, so i dont want to lose last 2 days.

Best wishes,
Ahmet

[Paul M]

There are no changes to files for this modification.

[Mecho]

is there anyway that i can remove a section in new posts stats ???

thanks

[Paul M]

I don't understand your question.

[Mecho]

I don't understand your question.

i want to remove the new posts of a certain section from the NEW POSTS list ... how can i do that ?

thanks

[Ba$im]

thank u so much Paul

[Paul M]

i want to remove the new posts of a certain section from the NEW POSTS list ... how can i do that ?

If you're asking how to exclude certain forums from this mods new post count then you can't, there is no such facility.

[SliceofLife]

Thank you. I love this! Excellent instructions too. Good work :D

[KimmiKat]

One issue that cropped up is the new comments are not showing for some reason. I checked the settings, but zilch!

[yoyoyoyo]

Everyone keeps asking if they can exclude forums, well, that's a different table in vBulletin. What I did is remove a user. I my case this is an RSS bot. So here's what I did.
Original New Posts and Reputation (1) Plugin:
$repcount = array();
$postcount = array();
$show['pcount'] = $vbulletin->options['npr1'];
$show['rcount'] = $vbulletin->options['npr2'];

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
if ($show['pcount'])
{
$postcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("
SELECT COUNT(dateline) AS pcount
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post
WHERE dateline > {$vbulletin->userinfo[lastvisit]}
");
}
if ($show['rcount'])
{
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['showreputation'])
{
$repcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("
SELECT COUNT(dateline) AS rcount
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."reputation
WHERE userid = {$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]}
AND dateline > {$vbulletin->userinfo[lastrepcheck]}
");
}
}

if ($postcount['pcount'] == 0)
{
$vbulletin->userinfo['pcount'] = $vbphrase['npr_no_posts'];
}
else
{
if ($postcount['pcount'] == 1)
{
$vbulletin->userinfo['pcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['npr_posts'],$postcount['pcount'],$vbphrase['npr_single_post']);
}
else
{
$vbulletin->userinfo['pcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['npr_posts'],$postcount['pcount'],$vbphrase['npr_plural_post']);
}
}

if ($repcount['rcount'] == 0)
{
$vbulletin->userinfo['rcount'] = $vbphrase['npr_no_reputation'];
}
else
{
if ($repcount['rcount'] == 1)
{
$vbulletin->userinfo['rcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['npr_reputation'],$repcount['rcount'],$vbphrase['npr_single_comment']);
}
else
{
$vbulletin->userinfo['rcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['npr_reputation'],$repcount['rcount'],$vbphrase['npr_plural_comment']);
}
}
}Have a look at this bit:
if ($show['pcount'])
{
$postcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("
SELECT COUNT(dateline) AS pcount
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post
WHERE dateline > {$vbulletin->userinfo[lastvisit]}
");
}This is where you can manually tweak the query.
if ($show['pcount'])
{
$postcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("
SELECT COUNT(dateline) AS pcount
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post
WHERE dateline > {$vbulletin->userinfo[lastvisit]}
AND userid != 13476
");
}I added the bold text. The userid is my RSS poster bot userid. You can exclude any of the following by changing my "userid" to one on the list below and my "13476" to whatever floats your boat.aranthorn -Thanks, but this is not working completely for me. In addition you need to edit the search.php link in the navbar.

To do this, in the plugin xml look for this code:

<phrases>
<phrasetype name="GLOBAL" fieldname="global">

[Kamakazy]

When I click on a link on my portal page it trying to go to http://gridironfans.com/search.php?do=getnew and not http://gridironfans.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew

i am facing the same issue, any suggestions?

[TRABZONLUKAPLAN]

Thank you. Nice hack...

[seyfihoca]

thanks for the hack. is there a way to see the "last 12 hours' messages"?

[Paul M]

Not with this, no.

[Kamakazy]

Paul M, anyway to fix this on vBadvanced CMPS v2.2.1 (vB 3.6)

plz check my site http://www.englishsabla.com for an example...

it seems to be missing the /forum directory on the front page...

[Mafialife Chris]

I installed the hack and followed your instructions to the letter. I found the sections of code in the navbar, I added the code from the instructions, the XML file loaded no problem...but I'm not getting the display. Any ideas what it could be?

[Paul M]

Version 3.21

The need for manual template edits has now been removed.

If upgrading from a previous version you should remove the two lines below from your navbar template.

<if condition="$show[pcount]">$bbuserinfo[pcount]<br /></if>

<if condition="$show[rcount]"><br />$bbuserinfo[rcount]</if>


(Leaving these in the template should not do any harm, but they are now unnecessary).

[Paul M]

I installed the hack and followed your instructions to the letter. I found the sections of code in the navbar, I added the code from the instructions, the XML file loaded no problem...but I'm not getting the display. Any ideas what it could be?

No idea, but I've been working on removing the template edits for this today and the upgrade is now available. I suggest you update first.

[Mafialife Chris]

I'm trying to install the new version, but i get this error:

"Sorry, no XML was passed into this function and the $path variable empty"

There's no URL info, so i can't do it through add, only import

[Mrdby]

The requested URL /forum/\"search.php was not found on this server. when i clicked unread post

[Mrdby]

<a href="http://************.net/forum/%5C%22search.php?do=getnew%5C%22" target="_blank">http://************.net/forum/%5C%22...?do=getnew\%22</a>

[bxbigt]

kinda worked but didnt work went back to the old one with temp edits i dont like the new posts addon just the new rep addon dont worry still clicked installed.

[Paul M]

The requested URL /forum/\"search.php was not found on this server. when i clicked unread post

I think you have posted in the wrong thread ?

That error with the broken phrase is fixed (in the unread posts release).

[Paul M]

Version 3.22 has been uploaded, which includes the setting to prefix the links when using things like CMPS.

[deezelpope]

Thanks for the update, Paul!:)

same thing happened to me :(

[rayphua]

Strange, when I click on the Unread Posts at the welcome box, it shows me a drop down User Control Panel. Please advice, thanks!!

[Paul M]

No idea, something odd about your style maybe.

[rayphua]

No idea, something odd about your style maybe.

Should I be looking into the navbar template for errors? or any other locations i should look into?

[Paul M]

A link to your site and a test login would be more useful.

[Aclikyano]

Updated from 3.18 (overwrite it) and......

You have 1 New reputation comment.

When you click on that, it takes u to a blank page with the url: http://www.mysite.com/forums/%5BARG:3%20UNDEFINED%5Dusercp.php

when hovering over the rep link it shows this url @ the bottom of the browser:
http://www.mysite.com/forums/[ARG:3 UNDEFINED]usercp.php

ALSO... instead of no new rep comments showing like in 3.18, this time nothing at all shows. only when you have new rep comments does that little text stat show in the navbar

[shokmuzik.com]

When user A has rights to access forum XY makes a post in forum XY, user B without rights to access forum gets alerted too. I think its confusing for user B when he sees 1000's of new post but has no access to them. How can I prevent this?

[Paul M]

You can't in this mod.

The unread posts version does that though.

[rinkrat]

When I click on the new reputation link it opens the Private Messages dropdown. Is there some way I can revert to the previous version of this that worked correctly?

[Paul M]

What exactly is the "Private Messages Dropdown" ?

[mamashid]

its not showing up what did i do! i installed for it to say good morning evenign etc, and since then its not showing up the post and reps

[Paul M]

You mean you have altered it ?

[Kamakazy]

i installed version 3.22 but my CMPS is still missing the /forum check here www.englishsabla.com

and i seem to be missing the new reputation comment line

[Paul M]

Without a test login there is nothing to check, you cannot see this mod as a guest.

You will only see the new reputation line if you actually receive some (and have reputation display enabled).

[Kamakazy]

okay, i sent you the log in details...

i also checked with the rep and it seems to work once i get a new rep... lovely...

but i am left with the CMPS issue, where can i edit the prefix for the missing /forum?

[Paul M]

vBulletin Options > Display New Posts and Reputation.

[Kamakazy]

aaah, great...

your a gem... thanks...

[Paul M]

Version 3.23

Since it's been asked about a number of times, I have updated the New Posts count to exclude forums that a member does not have permission to view (similar to the Unread Posts modification).

[deezelpope]

Oh dear!:( Everything was running great, then I updated and now I'm getting this:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.4:Invalid SQL: SELECT COUNT(post.dateline) AS pcount FROM post AS post FORCE INDEX (dateline) INNER JOIN thread AS thread USING (threadid) WHERE dateline > 1192722160 AND thread.forumid IN (03,59,5,44,52,7,14,54,53,49,47,48,55,43,32,41,31, 42,6,56,57,58,8,15,16,17,26,9,18,20,50,46,19,10,40 ,22,21,12,34,35,13,36,37,38);MySQL Error : Column 'dateline' in where clause is ambiguous

[Canis Firebrand]

I can't recall if I or someone else asked this before.

Can this and the Display Unread Posts add-on be used together?

The reason I ask and what my users want would be satisfied if they can.

Currently, I use the Display Unread Posts one to have it display any unread posts since their last visit. Other uses want a total count of all unread posts, not just since their last visit. Since there isn't an option to let them choose which way to have the product display, I thought of adding this one as well.

Then, I could set the Display New Posts addon to show all posts since their last login. Then use the Unread Posts addon to display the count of all unread posts.

As long as both addons would display the code, would there be any clashes in the two running at the same time? Would both addons display the code?

I'd like to have it read something like

You have 5 New Posts since your last visit and 20 unread posts total.

I know I'd have to edit the phrasing myself to fix, but aside from that, would what I am looking to be achieve be possible with these two add-ons installed?

[Paul M]

Hmm, odd that I don't get that, but it's easily fixed, just re-download and install.

[Paul M]

Can this and the Display Unread Posts add-on be used together?


I bit of an odd thing to do, but you can run them both together if you want, you should disable the reputation section of one of them, otherwise that will run twice.

[deezelpope]

Hmm, odd that I don't get that, but it's easily fixed, just re-download and install.
Oh, I know, isn't it? Alrighty, I'll try it. Kinda freaked out again and shaking...*sigh*

I did the overwrite with the 3.23...seems ok now. Thank you, Paul.

[subnet_rx]

This seems to now make auto template edits and negates the manual old template edits. Can this be turned back on? I don't display the new posts and rep at the top of the info box, I display them at the bottom.

[SBlueman]

I have a bit of a problem....

I modified my site some and got rid of the usual vbulletin section where you'd normally see this. I added a login menu at the top of the site and when people are logged in they would see all this information. Now the new posts information is showing up underneath the Welcome, [username] section and the reputation part of this mod is not showing up at all. This is my code:

<table width="880" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" background="http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/3619/cellpic13702babzk1.png">

Is there anything I can do to keep this on my site? Or do I have to give it up because it won't work with my custom setup?

[Paul M]

You seem to have old template edits in there, mixed with something you've made up yourself. The latest version does not require template edits as it attaches itself to the welcome_x phrase and either the private_messages_nav or last_visited_x_at_y phrase.

[The Notorious]

Ok I got a quick question in the old version with the template mod I could remove the "New Posts since your last visit." and only keep the how many reps part?

[Paul M]

That's a statement, not a question ;)

Also, all 3.6 versions have had settings to simply turn off either the new posts or reputation part.

[The Notorious]

That's a statement, not a question ;)

Also, all 3.6 versions have had settings to simply turn off either the new posts or reputation part.

Ok so how I turn "New Posts since your last visit" off?

So what am I missing from my custom code so I can see reputation comments?

[Paul M]

Either the private_messages_nav or last_visited_x_at_y phrase, I would guess the former.

[SBlueman]

I am embarrassed to say....but I don't know what to do after reading your post.

[birdie]

Installed it and it works fine, BUT got one problem. I have vBCredits installed and it is now dropped down into navbar (its a custom job and designer is not available until the new year). See attached image (I have renamed vBCredits as CPD Points). Any idea how I can fix this? I will also ask over at vBCredits site.

Sorry but I can't help with individual customisations, your template code is missing part of the default vb code that this requires.

[Paul M]

I've been asked if I intend to port this to 3.7 - the answer is no - it has always been the intention to replace this version (new posts) with the unread posts (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123886) mod, and only that version will be ported to 3.7.

[Rageem]

I need it for 3.7 , can you upgrade it? :o

[Paul M]

See post #213.

[Carlsta]

Can you make it work for 3.6.8

Nevermind Read Above!

I've recently changed my forum read marking type to "Database (no automatic forum marking)". However now it tells me I have way too many new posts since my last visit and only goes back to zero if I log out and back in. Help?

[Paul M]

Not sure what you mean by "way too many posts", but this mod does not care what marking system you use as its not relevant. All it uses is your last visit date.

[kiFF]

Well, I meant right now it tells me there are 23 new posts. It just keeps going higher and higher. It'd reach 100 if I never logged off and back in. I'm just thinking it should count small periods of inactivity as "your last visit". For example, right now I've responded to all posts and haven't posted anything new in the last 15 minutes. Though it still tells me there are 23 new posts.

[Paul M]

Sounds like its working perfectly to me.

As time passes the number of new posts is obviously going to go up as more people post - how could the number possibly go down ? (posts don't magically disappear).

How many you have responded to is completely irrelevant to this modification, this is new posts, not unread posts. The fact you have made no new posts does not matter either - other people have, it counts everyones.

Your last visit date is clearly displayed in the welcome box and only changes if you logout, or your session expires. That's standard vb functionality.

On my forum, the link for New Posts is correct: http://www.scumedit.net/forum/search.php?do=getnew

But on my portal page, the link for New Posts is incorrect:
http://www.scumedit.net/search.php?do=getnew

Any suggestions?

[Paul M]

Set the links prefix in the mod options.

Quality/Clean hack...and great support from Paul.

Nominated.

[GuaRRand]

no workies for me.
i received a few rep points but it didnt show any "New unread rep comment" notification.

I do have another product that edits the way PM's are shown etc... maybe that has somethign to do with it?

p.s. the Unread posts part DOES work.

[buurman]

Great!! love youre modules m8!! keep finding more and more of them!! thx!!

[Paul M]

Quite possibly.

[GuaRRand]

i got the "mood" thing implemented...and that seems to be right where the "unread reputation comments" should be.
Any chance i can change the location/positioning of where it should be?

[Skitty]

Hello, is there any way for me to modify this so it only displays new reputation comments ? I'd like to be able to remove the new posts display.

Thank you !

[Skitty]

Oops, never mind :)

I had wanted to exclude certain forums from the new post search, I was able to modify the "getnew" link in the xml. (exclude=1,2 etc.)

[droid101]

I read the thread and I'm having trouble figuring out what template/phrase I need to edit.

The "1 NEW Reputation comment" shows up fine, and from my forums works fine, but if on my Homepage (I have CMPS), it doesn't stick the /forums/usercp.php in there, just /usercp.php

What Phrase/Template do I need to edit, and what do I need to change? I found the private_messages_nav one and last_visited_x_at_y, but I don't know what to change in either of them. Any tips?

*bump*
??
I really would like to get this working.... can anyone help me?
(see www.glcoti.com welcome box, test account: testert, passw:123test)

[edit]
I take it the reputation thing should be in here??
<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
<div class="smallfont">
<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />
<phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>
<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]<br />$usermoods
</phrase></if>
<if condition="$show['pmwarning']"><br /><strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>
</div>
</td>
I might be overlooking it, but i dont see it.
What should i put in there??

[Paul M]

The reputation message attaches itself to the private_messages_nav phrase. I would guess that the modification you are using to alter your Private Messages Display (to create the dropdown list) is breaking it.

[GuaRRand]

Could i get you crazy enough to check (and fix) it?
*puppyeyes...which will not work since i'm no blond big breasted girl*

[Paul M]

Sorry, I have no idea what the mod even is, and I dont have the free time anyway.

[GuaRRand]

See... if i had been that blind big breasted chic, you would be beside my desk right now! :P

[kingmotox]

nice i like it. great for moderating as well

[Thomas P]

Great hack, is there any way to influence the placement of the "new posts" line?

I'd prefer to have it after the PM line in the welcome box.

[kingmotox]

how about new threads as well

[Thomas P]

Got it, by changing the "New Posts and Reputation (1)" plugin.

[hydn]

thanks

[hydn]

hmmm...

[alexchairman]

100%Working
Nice posting thankyou.

Keep on sharing.......

[JustAskJulie]

I have tried both versions of this and neither of them have worked. nothing is added to the welcome box.

[Mrdby]

3.7.0 final release?

[Paul M]

When Im ready yes.

[Mrdby]

When Im ready yes.

lol thanks paul

[mgurain]

It doesn't seem to work with 3.7 Gold

[Paul M]

Yes it does, it works fine (as long as you download and use the 3.7 version of course, this is the 3.6 forum. :)

[Greenwoodi]

Hello, Paul! updating of a plug-in for 3.7 is planned? It is ready to pay for updating. Very necessary hack.

Thanks!
