The product-unreadthreadsmarker.xml is 0 bytes in the zip file.

[Andreas]

Strange. I've reuploaded the ZIP and checked the the XML is not empty, should be okay now.

[Boofo]

It is fine now. Thanks.

[LuisManson]

Hi, nice idea!

just one question:
2) Modify your Templates according to templateedits-unreadthreadsmarker.txt if you do not use TMS.

whats TMS? do i need to do those edits?

[Ramsesx]

If you don't know what it is you need to do those edits.

Will this work on 4.0.6 mate??

[djbaxter]

Will this work on 4.0.6 mate??

More than likely, yes. It works on 4.07.

[Andreas]

Will this work on 4.0.6 mate??
Not sure about the template edit, but the plugin code should work with all 4.0.X-Versions.

[BadgerDog]

Installed .. thanks ... :)

Seems to work fine in 4.04pl1 as well ... :up:

dont seem to have that in my Template search_threadbit

You do, it is just slightly different (because you are using a different version?):

<li class="imodselector threadbit {vb:if !$thread['del_username'], $thread['statusstring']}" id="thread_{vb:raw thread.realthreadid}">

[Mr Peabody]

Great mod that basically adds a function in that should never been removed.
Thanks :)

Thats the top of my search_threadbit template now...still not showing owt:eek: Think i may need to give in on this one

[Mr Peabody]

I'm using 4.0.8 and firefox and its working fine.

[Andreas]

try in opera, it works in opera but buggy in firefox
Then you are most likely doing smth. wrong as it works just fine with Firefox and 4.0.8 for me.

[Boofo]

Or he doesn't have any threads that will trigger it after all the testing.

[Andreas]

... which would imply that he is doing smth. wrong (=not having new threads while testing) ;)

[Boofo]

True, but it was more for notifying him where else to look, I guess, instead of blaming the mod.

I have yet to see one of your mods not work as it was intended to. ;)

[RWerksman]

What can I change to make it stand out a bit more? I'm thinking of using the CSS tag for how the sticky threads appear in the search results, but I'm not certain what line to change and what to. :(

[★Slap]

Not working with vBulletin 4.0.8

[Boofo]

Not working with vBulletin 4.0.8
Others have it working on 4.0.8 fine.

[stained]

Thanks for this one. Working perfectly in 4.0.8 for me too. It didn't work straight away but a quick logout and login later it was working perfectly.

[Andreas]

Not working with vBulletin 4.0.8
Negative, it has been developed on 4.0.8 and works just fine with that version :)

[Alfa1]

Its quite bizarre that this is not included in vb by default. Thanks Andreas.
Tagged for future use.

[Gargi]

Hi! Is there a way to make a hack what is sorting the what's new result in forum oder? Also the possibility to show more than 20 hits a page would be nice :)

[zackw]

Does this only work when logged out?

I have 4.0.7 and I thought it wasn't working until I logged out and noticed that it does show up. When I log in, it never shows up.

Was this supposed to work only logged out? What I'm looking for is when a user logs in, it tells them both new stuff since last log in (not just since last "visit"), as well as posts with unread stuff irregardless of last log in or visit.

Thoughts?

[thunderclap82]

Why does it say to use TMS when TMS isn't listed as being compatible with 4.0.x?

[zackw]

Any ideas on this? The only time I can even get the "The threads below have not been updated since your last visit" message is when I'm logged out, OR when I mark all forums read and then click the button to view past messages for the last 24 hours.

Again, my understanding is that this plugin is for when a person is logged in and clicks "What's New", it should show the "new" posts since last login, with the list of "The threads below..." message under that.

What's going on?

[Tin Soldier]

Is this necessary in 4.1.1 and does it work?

[BlueCheri]

Very useful, will try.

[Kuya]

Installed on 4.1.2 and after modding the template "search_threadbit" on my main template, it does not work yet??

Think I will leave it overnight and see if more threads and passing time makes a difference, but are there known issues with 4.1.2?:confused:

Thanks

[hugh_]

I'm seeing the two problems with version 4.1.3...

With "Count All Posts Marked as Unread" set links to search results are broken such as:

search.php?do=getnew[ARG:2%20UNDEFINED]

The above works with "Use last visit date".

I'm also seeing what appears to be the message being repeated:

"You Have 5 Unread
You have %1$s unread %2$s"

And the second link doesn't work such as:

%3$ssearch.php?do=getnew%4$s

/%3$ssearch.php?do=getnew%4$s

[hugh_]

Fixed.

[Boofo]

You might want to post the fix for anyone else who runs into this.

[hugh_]

Go to Languages and Phases. Find Updated Phrases with the words Unread and delete the translated / changed versions...

[Boofo]

I have not had any of the issues you reported when I upgraded to 4.1.3. I just thought it would be nice for those that might have issues to have the fix available.

[Kuya]

Works fine now:)

[AusPhotography]

4.1.3 all good here as well!

[wildheart]

Does this only work when logged out?

I have 4.0.7 and I thought it wasn't working until I logged out and noticed that it does show up. When I log in, it never shows up.


Exactly the same with me. I locked out and picked up several threads that I havent seen, so it is not a question of nothing updated while I was locked in.

I installed it several days ago and there is still no change when I am locked in.

Running 4.1.4

[FReeSTER]

this is NOT showing up on my forum 4.1.3

[wildheart]

It only works under Quick Links - today's posts. It did not change New Posts.

[Andreas]

Does this only work when logged out?
No. But it does require database read marking (as did vB 3.8), if you use cookie based read marking it will not work as tehre will never be unread threads that had their last post befor your last visit.

[AusPhotography]

This product is not required from 4.1.8 onwards (it's been added to vB)

See: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-3973 Approved on staging for 4.1.8
