Do you have 'Currently Active Users Viewing This Page' turned on ? I can't see it as a guest.

This is a great hack and one that is very useful. I look forward to an update in which you can edit the phrase that is displayed.

I liked the phrasing in the 3.5.x version over the one used in 3.6.x version.

I tried to look at the mod xml file to see if I could maybe change it easily myself, but was lost as to what to actually change.

Thanks again for the great addition to the vB software.

:confused:

As far as I remember, the current version uses phrases identical to the old 3.5 version, are you sure you have 1.13 installed ?

Canis Firebrand 10-26-2006 06:10 PM

I'm using 1.13. These are the phrases that it put in place.

Code:

unread_posts          Standard Phrase          You Have <strong>{1} <a href="search.php?do=getnew">Unread Post{2}</a></strong>         
unread_posts_visit        Standard Phrase <strong>{1} <a
href="search.php?do=getnew">Unread Post{2}</a></strong> since your last visit.

What it was doing was showing the phrase like this in the welcome box. It looks like it is always using the phrase unread_posts_visit.

0 Unread posts since last visit.

or

# Unread post(s) since last visit.

I was able to actually fix it.

I downloaded the xml file again from above. Edited it and found the phrase, and added in a "You Have" so that it looked like this

Code:

unread_posts_visit          Standard Phrase          You Have <strong>{1} <a href="search.php?do=getnew">Unread Post{2}</a></strong> since your last visit.

The 3.5 version does not have the words "You have" if you use the last visit option, nor does this.

Both versions display either ;

XX Unread Posts since your last visit

or

You Have XX Unread Posts

Depending on whether you use the last visit option.

Maybe I was remembering wrong then. In either case, this is actually a very nice product.

I was just glad I was able to find the spot in the xml file to edit to change the phrasing like I thought I recalled.

If you do update it in the future and add in flexible phrasing that would be great.

But as it is, it does work very nicely.

Thanks again for the product and the replies here to not only myself, but others using this as well.

I don't understand what you mean ? - the phrase can be changed to whatever you want in the ACP phrase manager - just as any phrase can. That's a standard part of vbulletin. :smoke:

Canis Firebrand 10-26-2006 06:49 PM

That was the part I missed then. I viewed the phrase in the phrase manager, but I wasn't aware I could change it there. I'm still realitively new to vB.

Paul M 10-26-2006 07:09 PM

The you have learned something new. :)

Canis Firebrand 10-26-2006 11:15 PM

Exactly, and I thank you. :)

Though, one last question.

What exactly is the difference between the yes and no option for this setting?

Display Unread Posts Option
Set to 'yes' to use last visit date, 'no' to count all posts marked as unread.

I had it set to yes originally. Then changed my board to no. Now I'm getting reports of my members having hundreds of posts as unread. I'm not so sure I should have changed that option.

I've read that description and the one you posted in the original post for this product. I'm still a little uncertain what each choice does and which is better to use.
