Adding a hook into a specific member block tab?

[findingpeace]

I made a plugin that lets members view their recent "Thanks" in a member profile block tab.

Works great, except that this plugin also empties the "Thanks" notification whenever it is called. Problem is, the hook is in member_complete, which loads any time the member profile is loaded.

So if I have 3 "Thanks", and then click my profile (NOT the Thank Tab), it empties them. Even though I never viewed my recent Thanks tab.

How can I set these queries only to run from that specific tab?

Thanks!

Then I would guess you have something in your code that is doing this. Make sure you only have lines in your code that you know what they are doing.

Thanks Lynne! In this case, I actually do want the code to clear the notifications. So that's working as expected... But I want the clear only to happen when someone goes to the URL member.php?2012-findingpeace&tab=thanks - not all other parts of member.php, which is what member_complete seems to do

Then the code to erase the notifications need to be within a condition that will only run if $_GET['tab'] is equal to thanks. (And that isn't going to be too easy since the tabs are 'changed' via ajax.)

Thanks you! I actually don't need the clear to happen on ajax switches - only when the direct tab URL is accessed, like this:

member.php?2012-findingpeace&tab=thanks

Would that possibly be easier to code?

Then you would want to put a condition around that part of your code (the clear notices part) to only happen when $_GET['tab'] is equal to thanks.

You are the best!!!! That did the trick, thank you :)
