On/Off Boutons on sub Forums

[Corbu]

hello,

I made this request one week ago and nobody send me a response : Thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38362)

So, I'm searching to made it myself...
But I do not understand how is it made ... How vbuelltin know if there is a new message and how he made to change on.gif by off.gif ? Is there a template for this ?

Thanks for your help

the code itself is in a PHP file, don't know right now, but when I get home, I'll look it up ;)

here's a block of code that I found for you:


// do light bulb
if ($bbuserinfo['lastvisitdate']=='Never') {
$forum['onoff']='on';
} else {
if (isset($bbforumview[$forum['forumid']]) and $bbforumview[$forum['forumid']]>$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']) {
$userlastvisit=$bbforumview[$forum['forumid']];
} else {
$userlastvisit=$bbuserinfo['lastvisit'];
}
if ($userlastvisit<$forum['lastpost']) {
$forum['onoff']='on';
} else {
$forum['onoff']='off';
}
}

if ((!$forumperms['canpostnew'] and $showlocks) or $forum['allowposting']==0) {
$forum['onoff'].='lock';
}


that can be found in index.php of the main dir.

this one can also be found in the same file:


if ($newpm['messages']==0) {
$lightbulb='off';
} else {
$lightbulb='on';
}


that's all I found for now, I'll look it up some more, but that should be it ;)
