View Full Version : Miscellaneous Hacks - Display Unread Posts and New Reputation Comments
Paul M
11-27-2008, 10:00 PM
As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.
Note: The unread posts portion of this hack only works if you use the database thread marking system, also, this attaches itself to certain phrases in the "welcome" box and will not work if they are not present (or are modified by other code).
FYI, the Forum Marking Choices are located in vBulletin Options ;
vBulletin Options > General Settings > Thread/Forum Read Marking Type
The Read Marking options were removed from vB 3.8.11, it defaults to database marking.
** For vBulletin 3.8.11 you will need to use the Unread-posts-3811.zip **
This displays the actual number of posts that are still considered unread by you (and will show up in a 'getnew' search). It also displays the number of new reputation comments since you last checked your usercp.
There is the option to count the unread posts since your last visit, or all posts considered unread. This setting reflects the divider in the 'getnew' search display. There is also the option to disable the unread posts display or the new reputation comments display.
There is also the option to display the New Reputation Comments counter as a Welcome Box Notification.
All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Display Unread Posts and Reputation.
Version 3.8.001 adds support for forums excluded if you have the "Get New/Get Daily Opt Out Modification" installed (by Andreas).
Version 3.8.004 adds support for forums excluded if you have the "Selective Forum Filter Modification" installed (by Psionic Vision).
To install this hack unzip the xml file and import it using the ACP Product Manager.
History:
v3.8.001 : Initial vb 3.8 Release.
v3.8.002 : Fix forum exclusion bugs.
v3.8.003 : Fix spelling and phrase bug.
v3.8.004 : Added support for Psionic Visions Selective Forum Filter.
v3.8.005 : Updated version for vBulletin 3.8.11 (only).

Does this show total unread post or unread posts since your last visit?

Either.

Thanks for the update Paul... quick question though. I suspect the "Unread Posts" link uses a relative link, and not a fully qualified link. And on my vbAdvanced page it links to http://scienceofmuscle.com/search.php?do=getnew and not http://scienceofmuscle.com/forum/search.php?do=getnew
Is there a place I can change this?

Quick question for ya Paul
I have this set to display on every page (in the navbar area)
Is this a bad idea? I was wondering what impact this would have on server performance if it's displayed one every page. (I assume it runs a query for EVERY page visited?)
Paul M
01-15-2009, 04:45 PM
Are you sure you have posted in the correct thread ? - this mod runs on every page by default, there is no option to prevent it (as it wouldnt make sense).
Deimos
01-15-2009, 05:19 PM
Oh! My bad
I was under the impression it only showed on the main page, heh

The database thread marking system is a setting in vbulletin options.
Unless you have modified your navbar template, you dont need to worry about the rest.

Where exactly was unread posts was supposed to be displayed ? I've checked usercp and could see no difference at all and I did have unread posts the moment I checked that.
FYI, the Forum Marking Choices are located in vBulletin Options ;
vBulletin Options > General Settings > Thread/Forum Read Marking Type
Yes, this is set correctly.
Any tips ?

Hey Paul, I use this along with Get New/Get Daily Opt Out Modification and the numbers don't match. It's most obvious when this tells me I have one new post, and click on the link takes me to the new post page which says there are no new posts.
Not sure what the deal is - I will look into it - but wanted to let you know it does not appear to integrate properly with Get New/Get Daily Opt Out Modification as stands.

The error gives a clue as to the difference - argument 4 has been removed.
The phrase this applys to for most people is "dup_posts".

You're are right Paul, "dub_posts" is exactly the phrase related to this error.

Just an update about this. It's easier to solve than it looks.
Just go to AdminCP < Language and Phrases < Get Uptaded Phrases
You'll see 4 phrases related to this mod on this list.
All phrases like: "dup_posts" "dup_noposts" and so on.
You don't actually need to translate everything again. Just locate on those phrases "/search.php?do=getnew" and you will see there is a argument after it like {4}, just delete it.
But it's not the only phrase in this situation the others on the list you'll have to do the same, just different arguments.

Hello,
I am having a problem with this product on a vB 3.8.1 forum.
The problem started after I upgraded the site from around 3.7.0 to 3.8.1.
I uninstalled the old version of this product and installed this version.
When going the control panel (usercp.php) I get this MySQL error:
MySQL Error : Unknown column 'lastrepcheck' in 'field list'
If I disable this product the error goes away.
If I disable reputation the error still appears.
If I revert the USERCP template and reinstall this product I still get the error.
Is this problem related to the XML not installing correctly?
Is there a different problem such as a bitfield file from an older version of this product sitting on the server?
Any thoughts on how to correct this and get the product working would be appreciated.
Thank you,
-Raymond

I have the issue with the link taking me to this: mysite.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew[ARG:2%20UNDEFINED].
I read about something with the dup_posts phrase, but I don't see anything wrong with it... this is what it is: You Have <strong>{1} <a href="{3}search.php?do=getnew">Unread {2}</a></strong>
What else could be the problem?

The message does look similar though... the "UNDEFINED" is triggering something for me. Let me do some searching.
Ahha - I knew I'd seen it somewhere before: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1740690&postcount=4241 - something about languages.
ARG4 undefined means : you haven't imported the last english language file !

hambil
03-09-2009, 09:48 AM
%20 is an html encoded space. So, ignore it. What you are seeing is [ARG:2 UNDEFINED], which means it can't find the phrase it is trying to use for argument 2. My guess is, there is a problem with your language(s).
Paul M
03-09-2009, 10:17 AM
Argument 2 of that phrase is another phrase that is part of this product - the only possible way you could get it is if vbulletin didnt import the phrases properly, or you have somehow deleted the phrase - uninstalling and re-installing might fix that, otherwise, still no idea.
Dennis B
03-10-2009, 12:13 AM
I'm also getting [ARG:4 UNDEFINED] here, using another language as default...
Dennis B

And here's why...
The "old" phrase used to be
You Have <strong>{1} <a href="{3}search.php?do=getnew{4}">Unread {2}</a></strong>
And the new phrase lacks the {4}.

The "{x}" behind the "getnew" is probably not longer needed.
I just deleted it and now it works perfekt. :D

Hey Paul,
Thanks for this mod. However I'm running into a slight issue which I just discovered today.
After I've logged into my site, I see where my site seems to think I have 1 or more unread postings, so I click on the link to show unread posts since I last longed in. When the page reloads, I get a white page and it acts as though it can't find the Cascading Style sheet settings. Under what would normally be the navbar, it says "No Users Matched Your Query".
I've already uninstalled the last few addons thinking they may be causing it but no luck.
I had your 3.7 version of this mod installed and it was doing the same thing so I just upgraded to the 3.8 version; however, still no luck.
Any thoughts?

Hi Paul, just to ask, how would I make it so that from my vBAdvanced portal wouldn't result in a 404 when the 'new posts' is clicked?
IE:
The forum is at mysite.com/forum and the vBAdvanced is at mysite.com and when someone clicks the 'new posts' button from the portal, it's looking for mysite.com/search.php when the correct path would be mysite.com/forum/search.php
So, What template\phrase do I need to edit for this to change to go to the correct place?

See the "Maximum Cutoff Limit" setting in the options ;
Sets the maximum number of days that posts will be counted for, if the cutoff exceeds this then just an unread posts link will be displayed. This can save running large sql queries if members have not visited in a long time. Set to zero to disable this feature.

There seems to be some sorta conflict between Photopost vBGallery and this mod. With this mod enabled, my users can no longer use the Prev and Next image button/links within Photopost vBGallery. They keep getting this message, "No Image specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator". I disabled all my hook by placing the following code at the top of the vBulletin config.php file; define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
I confirmed that the issue was with one of my installed mods, so I systematically disabled one mod at a time until I found out that this mod is causing the Prev / Next image links to break.
Any ideas?

Hi there...
Well, After I upgraded my forum version from 3.7 to 3.8, I've got problems with this feature. It wasn't showing the forum page properly.
Now I have installed the newest version of this hack for 3.8 VB release but I still have problem.
Namely, when I click the '#number unread posts/comments' I'm redirected to URL: http://myforum.org/forum/search.php?do=getnew[ARG:4%20UNDEFINED] - and it shows blank page.
So, I think I've missed something or... Can you please help me.
Thank you in Advance!

Where can I modify the link that clicking "Unread Posts" takes you to, as when I am in my vBAdvanced Links Direcotry, the target of this link is http://www.adminaddict.com/directory/search.php?do=getnew instead of directory being replaced with forum.
Paul M
05-23-2009, 09:42 PM
Set the "Links Prefix Path" .
EagleNick
05-24-2009, 09:53 PM
This doesn't resolve my issue.
With the Links Prefix Path left blank, here is the scenario:
When viewing the forum, the Unread Posts link takes you to: http://www.adminaddict.com/forum/search.php?do=getnew - which is exactly what it should be.
When viewing the directory, the Unread Posts link takes you to: http://www.adminaddict.com/directory/search.php?do=getnew - which is not a valid URL.
I'm assuming the reason is because the Unread Posts link is coded as <a href="search.php?do=getnew"> rather than <a href="BBURL/search.php?do=getnew">. So I'd like to know how to fix this.
Thanks.

Paul, it would not kill you to answer just a little more.
EagleNick, if your forum is installed in folder named forum, try to write in field Links Prefix Path: /forum/
Paul M
05-25-2009, 09:18 AM
The option description says it all.
Links Prefix Path
The path that will prefix search.php or usercp.php in the links, if you use a CMS then you may need to set this to something like /pathtoforum/ - otherwise just leave this blank.
As far as I can see from the reply he didnt even look or try it.

is it possible to put the number of unread posts per forum in the forumhomedisplay area kind of like how UBB Threads works?
basically put each line or each forum would have a the total number of threads then the new unread threads would be in ( number_of_unread_threads ) and then the posts line like in ( number_of_unread_posts) next to the number of posts total
can you do that with your mod?
like getnew x and some code for the forum or whatever?
Paul M
06-05-2009, 08:12 AM
No, thats not possible with this mod.
kevcj
06-15-2009, 04:38 PM
Wonderful modification, thank you Paul.
I do have one question though - Setting the cut off date to less then 10 days makes the number of unread post disappear. All it says is "Display Unread Posts". Am I missing something?
Paul M
06-15-2009, 09:11 PM
At a guess, you are using the "Count All Posts Marked as Unread" option, and your "Database Read Marking Limit" is 10 days - the "cutoff" must always be higher than the DRML in the Display All mode.

Paul,
I'm not sure if my question is in the right place, but I have this mod of yours as well as the Extended Rep Checks. I specifically like this mod for the UnRead Posts. My question is about the Reputation part now.
I have set it such that giving + rep. requires a comment. Is it possible to NOT display WHOM it came from? Of course admins could see from ACP, but I'm referring to the UserCP.
Thanks in advance.
Paul M

Hi Paul, thx alot for the mod, been using it for a while :)
I've came across a problem lately, since I installed VBAdvanced adding a front page. The links on front page won't work, they link to a wrong address.
Main Page: www.gamingcraft.net
Forums: www.gamingcraft.net/forum
Clicking New Posts on Main Page, trys to redirect to http://www.gamingcraft.net/search.php?do=getnew (Without the /forum included).
Is there a way I can edit it to forcefully include /forum?
(Same for new reputation).

Do you think it's possible to have an option so that we can set the forums we want to be included?
It would be useful if we only want a few forums to be included instead of the exclude option.

As Paul mentioned above, you can "use the links path setting in the mods options."
Go to: vBulletin Options>Display Unread Posts and Reputation. In Links Prefix Path, put something like: "http://www.yousite.com/forums/" since search.php is in there.

Thanks for releasing a useful mod, Paul. :)
I'm curious if there's a way the script can look for "<!-- unread posts -->" instead of (where highlighted in red):
$vbphrase['welcome_x_link_y'] .= '</strong><br />'.$unread.'<strong>'; // 3.7 Onwards Phrase
When I replace the red with "<!-- unread posts -->" it gave me a parse error. :o As a resolve I either removed $unread (in blue) or removed the red (shown below):
'</strong><br />'.$unread.'<strong>'; // 3.7 Onwards Phrase
"<!-- PEMDATA38: {$data_dup['title']} : Version = {$data_dup['version']} : Revision = {$data_dup['cvs']} -->";
The mod seems to work when either edit was applied. Is that ok or is there a more efficient way of doing it?
Paul M
08-04-2009, 01:13 PM
Sorry, Im not following what your trying to do (or why ?).
FYI, It doesnt look for anything, it appends itself to the relevant phrase.
Freesteyelz
08-04-2009, 07:46 PM
FYI, It doesnt look for anything, it appends itself to the relevant phrase.
In your previous version there was a section in vB Options to specify the area which Unread Post codes would attach to using ATCS (Automatic Template Changes System). I wanted to do that with this version since my navbar is modified.
I've successfully moved $unread so the mod will display where I want it to (and not after last visited phrase) by commenting out those lines of codes. I was just wondering if by commenting out those lines of codes (below) would harm vB or the codes in any way:
// $vbphrase['welcome_x'] .= '</strong><br />'.$unread.'<strong>'; // 3.6 Phrase
// $vbphrase['welcome_x_link_y'] .= '</strong><br />'.$unread.'<strong>'; // 3.7 Onwards Phrase
// $vbphrase['last_visited_x_at_y'] .= "<!-- PEMDATA38: {$data_dup['title']} : Version = {$data_dup['version']} : Revision = {$data_dup['cvs']} -->";

I have to make sure that all links in my header drop down menu began with a '/' or else when clicking on them from the links section would have them wrong e.g. ./links/help and /links/mail
I have them all fixed except with the 'unread post' links. It is giving me http://www.paintballer.ie/links/search.php?do=getnew
Is this a phrase fix or a template..... I think all I need to do is add a '/' some where.

Paul,
I scoured your thread all the way back to page 4. I probably still missed it if someone else asked it. Sorry if this might not make sense, but how about a UserCp control such that users may choose to Turn off the Display X Unread Posts at the upper right? Then their post/thread marking defaults to vB settings, which is vBulletin Options > General Settings > Thread/Forum Read Marking Type
.
Reasoning for this question, I think, is that I have set the mods cutoff to be 7 days and the vB setting to like 12 days. This still results in quite a few Unread for a user and I was just thinking of relieving them for a user's activity that is sparse.
Our board is by far not big, but even a couple days and ppl have like 100 unread.
If someone has a good mitigation to this, then please do share it. Whether it be using the provided setting options of Paul's mod or other.
Thanks in advance.

Been using this product for many moons...
Today, I stumbled upon an error, hence I don't know how long it has existed.
I happened to roll my mouse over the "Unread Posts" link (of which there were none) in the welcome box and noticed the following error message on my browser status line:
http://www.usfcralliance.org/forums/search.php?do=getnew[ARG:2 UNDEFINED]
If I click the Unread Posts link I get a white page and "Done" message in the status bar.
This forum is using several of Cyb's products, ry215's sidebar column, and this product. The only other customizations I've made are in the header, footer, navbar, and (one within ry215's sidebar product).
I was using the prior release 3.8.003. So I upgraded to current release this AM, reverted the navbar template, based on a warning in the instructions, and the error is still occuring.
I'm running vb 3.8.3. I get the error in all of my styles, including the Default style.
Any ideas?
BTW, the "New Posts" link in the navbar is working.

You have customised (translated) one of the phrases at sometime in the past, you need to delete (or update) the custom version.

Hi Paul,
Sorry to bug you again, but I can't find any phrases that I?ve modified which would affect this product. Are their any phrases I should be looking at in particular?
I know the mod works and always has. Just as a cross check, I reinstalled 3.8.3 into my localhost, loaded this mod, and it works fine!
EDIT: Another thing I noticed is that the mod works IF there are New Posts.
Nita
EDIT: Problem solved. There were indeed modified phrases. I thought uninstalling the product and reinstalling would have gotten rid of them. Apparently that's not the case. :o
Hey Paul,
I've been using this mod since you released it for 3.8. It's working great. I've also been using the Selective Forum Filter mod as well, but had it disabled. I read in this thread that your latest version uses that mod's forums exclusions.
I've updated to your latest version (The Selective Forum Filter mod hasn't been updated since release), so I have the latest versions of each.
The problem I'm having is the exclusions don't seem to be working. I can verify that the forums are excluded (as they don't show up at all), but when new posts are made, they are still added to the unread counter and are visible when clicking the unread posts link.
It's entirely possible I'm doing something wrong, so please let me know. vB 3.8 BTW.
Nevermind, I have it working.
After echoing out the excluded forums variable to make sure it was populated, I realized my mistake.
I had selected a category to be excluded, thinking it would exclude all of the sub forums under it. So of course, I'd see all of the posts as unread, it was a category. Once I selected all of the forums under it, things were excluded as expected.
Thanks again and sorry about that!

Hi Paul M
Having a little trouble. I have installed this and love it. However this Unread link does not work when the user visits the Gallery. I am running PhotoPhost Gallery in another directory outside of /forum/ so when a user clicks 'unread posts' while in the gallery it tried to load
/gallery/search.php?do=getnew
how can i edit the mod so it always uses /forum/search.php?do=getnew
?
Thanks

By default, does this plugin show on every forum page? (main page, forum view, thread view etc?)
I've used this plugin for ages (And love it btw) but I can't remember whether it's supposed to show only on the main page.

I have a notification showing on the Your Notifications link. When I click the link or the drop down arrow nothing happens. Help! What should I do to get this functioning? I look forward to your response.
There is nothing you should have to do. If your notifications are broken then you probably have a faulty style or something. Try it on the default vb style.

Work out what is different on the one that doesnt work. Code does not randomly decide not to work, so something is not the same.
I am away for a week in a few hours so wont see any reply until I return.

Unless you have modified your navbar template, you dont need to worry about the rest.
hello. i have searched through this thread but can't seem to find a clear answer to this dilemma. i have a slightly modified navbar so the simple install does not display the link to unread posts and reputations. what do i need to add to the navbar template or what else would i need to do to enable this to display properly in the navbar?
i look forward to your response and getting this working on my forum ASAP!

The unread posts message is appended to the Welcome, XXXX. message, if you are not displaying that phrase, then you will not get the unread message.

If you set this up yourself with user profile fields and template conditionals then yes, you could do it. Its not something I will ever add tho.

Or can it be separated to only have reputation comments notification?

That means you have an old translation of one of mod phrases - you need to locate and delete (or update) it [it could be one of several, all start with dup_ ].

Hello Paul,
First of all I'm very sorry for the off topic but I have just read (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2049429&postcount=1990) that I can use your hack to get notifications when I receive one or more "post thank you(s)" and I'd like to know if that's true. If this isn't true then may I ask you if there is any chance to see something like this in your first post in the near future? "Version 3.8.005 adds support for the "Post Thank You Modification" (by Abe1)." :D
Thank you,

This is a silly question, probably.
Clicking on a reputation notification takes me to usercp.php. There is no section mentioning reputation there. Does that require another mod, or have I somehow disabled the display?

Is it possible to not display 'Unread posts' ?

Apparently so. I have it on the profile page, though. What template is the destination URL on, so that I can edit it to point at the profile instead?
