very very nice mod

There is no need to remove them as users cannot search forums they have no access to and this mod uses the search function. It won't tell users about posts they can't see.

Great hack, thanks! Is it possible to exclude certain forums? I've got a whole lot of RSS feeds that drive the unread posts number through the ceiling. Alternatively, is it possible to specifiy which forums to track for unread posts? I think that would be a great feature...

An excludes feature is on my list of things too look into at some point.

Installed, have database option enabled but still nothing shows up in the Welcome block.

First special thanks goes to Paul Marsden for his mods specially this mod that im using for about an year on my major forum n my members luv this mod

i've about 70k threads, 700k posts n 140k members with 2k avg onlines in my forum but from some weeks ago my forum loads increases n when i analyze mysql queries i found that this query by this mod is killin my forum
Query uses INDEX but sometimes specially at forum peak it takes more than 2-5 sec which makes me turn it off :(

is there any optimize method for this mod Paul or with this huge posts its impossible ?

I'm guessing that its probably members returning after quite some time that are doing this, so the posts being counted is quite high. It was a problem I hit a long time ago, and actually wrote a time limit into the code on our forum (we use a totally custom version of this, not released anywhere). If I think about it I'll see if I can incorporate that into the 3.7 version at some point. I'm afraid it will not get added to the 3.6 version as I never support more than one active version, and by the time I do this, that will be the 3.7 version.

Thanks for answer,
Cant wait for 3.7.0 Gold

thanks

No idea, but i would guess that another modification is interfering with this one.

Hi PaulM,

I have a slight issue, and hopefully I can properly describe in a way that will allow you to reproduce it (if possible).

I've been using your script for some time now, and all has been functioning great. Well, I decide one day to enable the Reputations function, and again, all seemed fine except for one unique situation.

- When displaying the forum index, all is fine and works as it should :D
- When displaying the VBAdvanced CMPS page, the "New Reputations Comments Link" will not, for example, point to www.vbulletin.com/forum/usercp.php? , but rather points to www.vbulletin.com/usercp.php?

I've reads all of the comments in this thread but I couldn't find a solution to my issue.

These are the actions I've taken to in an attempt to fix the problem:
- All dup_ phrases are set to "default"
- Latest version of your script is "installed"
- Ensure the "usercp.php" has been added to the "Navbar Replacements" in the CMPS VBAdvanced Global Options
- The "Links Prefix Path" has been added in the ACP and set to "/forum/"

Like I say, all the other links point to the correct "/forum/" path, except for the "New Reputations Comments Link". Any help would be appreciated. :)

You need to set the "Links Prefix Path" option provided in this mods options.

As I stated above, I already set the "Links Prefix Path" Option, and it still does not point to the correct path.

Then you have either set it wrong, or customised your phrases sometime in the past, in which case you need to revert them.

Once again

Let us know the new variable to do that, please. The $unread isn't working anymore in vBa CMPS. :(

in my forum it is the - $postcount[unread] - it seems to work fine

Waiting patiencely for a 3.7 version ..

The 3.7 version was released ages ago, just look in my profile.

THank you sir . I missed that ..

This one still works. :D

I haven't upgraded to 3.7 just yet (should be within the next week or two), so in the meantime this helps my members. Thanks!

Oh, and for those that haven't read (or don't want to read) through these posts, you need to make sure that your settings are correct by going to...

ACP > vBulletin Options > General Settings > Thread/Forum Read Marking Type

....and make sure that the "Thread/Forum Read Marking Type" option is clicked on "Database (no automatic forum marking)"

Thank You Paul. Another great hack. :)

Paul,

Do you think you will be able to get this for 3.8? My members love it!

Thanks in advance,

SuperDave71

Does it works for 3.8? :(
