It does not display new post or new reputation is that better? Im using the default style of vb and the newest version of 3.7...

Like I said, its running fine for me, on beta 5, default vb style - so unless one of you can give me admin access on your forum I cannot explain why you have a problem.

Where do I send the details? I think its real weird that it works on yours with 3.7.5 deafault template and that it doesnt work ours.

Goto, your admincp.. the vbulletin option..

find Thread/Forum Read Marking Type

then choose the second choice..

added this last week and it works great :)
Thanks Paul

Anyone saying that it is not working needs to take careful note of this quite clear statement ;

Note: The unread posts portion of this hack only works if you use the database thread marking system.

This is the issue with both I have investigated recently.

Thanks Paul that definately did the trick. Working great now...

This is an awesome mod. But I agree with Ottoman. Can it be added to the Your Notifications?

Maybe you need to re-read the first post, esp the blue text. ;)

i have this installed on my board talkdelaware.com and it works GREAT!

my users love it, now i just added news feeds. they want these dis-included from the new post search and the count it shows "X unread posts" in the welcome box.

i have successfully filtered out the right forums on a search by using the "&exclude=48,4,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65 ,66\" on the end of get new.

is there a way to get the "X unread post" to be filtered as well?

now it will show like "20 unread posts" and when you click the search it will return nothing as the actual search is filtered.

does that make sense?

Original New Posts and Reputation (1) Plugin:

Code:

$repcount = array();

$postcount = array();

$show['pcount'] = $vbulletin->options['npr1'];

$show['rcount'] = $vbulletin->options['npr2'];



if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])

{

        if ($show['pcount'])

        {

                $postcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("

                        SELECT COUNT(dateline) AS pcount 

                        FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post 

                        WHERE dateline > {$vbulletin->userinfo[lastvisit]}

                ");

        }

        if ($show['rcount']) 

        { 

                if ($vbulletin->userinfo['showreputation'])

                {

                        $repcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("

                                SELECT COUNT(dateline) AS rcount 

                                FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."reputation 

                                WHERE userid = {$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]} 

                                AND dateline > {$vbulletin->userinfo[lastrepcheck]}

                        ");

                }

        }



        if ($postcount['pcount'] == 0)

        {

                $vbulletin->userinfo['pcount'] = $vbphrase['npr_no_posts']; 

        }

        else

        {

                if ($postcount['pcount'] == 1)

                {

                        $vbulletin->userinfo['pcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['npr_posts'],$postcount['pcount'],$vbphrase['npr_single_post']); 

                }

                else

                {

                        $vbulletin->userinfo['pcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['npr_posts'],$postcount['pcount'],$vbphrase['npr_plural_post']);  

                }                

        }                



        if ($repcount['rcount'] == 0)

        {

                $vbulletin->userinfo['rcount'] = $vbphrase['npr_no_reputation']; 

        }

        else

        {

                if ($repcount['rcount'] == 1)

                {

                        $vbulletin->userinfo['rcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['npr_reputation'],$repcount['rcount'],$vbphrase['npr_single_comment']); 

                }

                else

                {

                        $vbulletin->userinfo['rcount'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['npr_reputation'],$repcount['rcount'],$vbphrase['npr_plural_comment']);  

                }                

        }                

}

Have a look at this bit:

Code:

        if ($show['pcount'])

        {

                $postcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("

                        SELECT COUNT(dateline) AS pcount 

                        FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post 

                        WHERE dateline > {$vbulletin->userinfo[lastvisit]}

                ");

        }

This is where you can manually tweak the query.

Code:

        if ($show['pcount'])

        {

                $postcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("

                        SELECT COUNT(dateline) AS pcount 

                        FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post 

                        WHERE dateline > {$vbulletin->userinfo[lastvisit]}

                        AND userid != 13476

                ");

        }

I added the bold text. The userid is my RSS poster bot userid. You can exclude any of the following by changing my "userid" to one on the list below and my "13476" to whatever floats your boat.

I don't recommend anyone do this unless you know what your doing!

I'm only showing you the query used and possibilities to tweak it and the only reason I'm doing that is because Paul M has stated he's not adding any features to this kick ass mod.

Here are the fields than can be played with:
postid
threadid
parentid
username
userid
title
dateline
pagetext
allowsmilie
showsignature
ipaddress
iconid
visible
attach
infraction
reportthreadid

Paul M ~ if you don't like what I've posted here, I totally understand and will delete the post. Just let me know.

please and thank you :)

Edit: Nevermind, got it working again.

Is there any way to display the New Posts reading separately from the Welcome block? I very much like it there; but I'd also like to add it to various locations on custom forum pages -- e.g. we have a 'welcome page' that displays a quotation, and where I used the old Show New Posts hack to paste in the HTML code so that the reading would show.

How can I display this hack's readout elsewhere via HTML in templates?

This works for me flawlessly, but on the vbadvanced page (homepage) it does not work. Is there anyway to fix this issue with vbadvanced?

I think this has the path option, I cant check while on holiday.

what about me paul??? ;)

took me forever but i figured it out on my own, thanks though!

Marked as Installed. :up:

Alright, check it out whenever you get back if you can. Thanks!

I have used a lot of your products on several sites over the last couple of years, you are owned one big thank you if you didn't get it already! Thank you. :D

I have a question about the unread posts. I have 3 sites I'm administering at the moment, one upgraded from 3.6.8 and unread posts works OK, the other two it was installed into new 3.7 sites, and one site doesn't shot it only for me, and the other site has the line in the welcome box but it is missing the number of posts in front of the unread posts link.

Any ideas what I should be checking to fix this issue? Thanks!

Paul, the mod itself works wonderfully, but with it installed, if I click on any user's name, rather than the user's profile, I see:

Quote:

Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/content/w/e/s/westa/html/AWM/vbtestnew/member.php(490) : eval()'d code on line 63

How can I fix this? Thanks.

Sorry, but thats an error on the member_complete hook which is not used by this mod. Your problem is elsewhere.

FYI, after 3.7 gold is released this mod will be updated with two new options.

1. Time limit on unread posts count - if a member has not visited for more than x days then a simple unread posts link will be displayed, not an actual count, this stops potential large sql queries if you have a busy forum. The option can be disabled.

2. Forum exclusion list - requested a number of times, an option will be provided to exclude forums from the unread count & display.

Where does this show paul ?

Beside the user's username or elsewhere, apoologises but I can't notice any changes

Using DB marking system :up:

There is a screenshot in the 3.6 version.

Thanks I thought that as had it installed a while back, I must have a conflict somewhere as I don't see it there,navbar was reverted when 3.7 went gold,i'll try and find cause later as way past ZZzzzz time LOL

Can't download this?

Is that a statement or a question ?

Can't wait Paul people LOVE this mod!

I see it's been released with this new option, but, I can't for the life of me find it in the UserCP anywhere?

Dont suppose there is a demo available

Oh....I see it

Quote:

Forum Exlude List
Comma separated list of forumids to be exclused from the unread count.

But this isn't like the old addon where users could choose which forums to block and not to block.
Any chance that can be added?

Its not a user option, its a forum wide option in the mods vb options.

Thank you for the update,Possible to disable this hack it for certain usergroups ?

Sorry, but that will never be added - the forum wide option is the best you will get.

/forums/
and the full www.clan...co.uk/foeums/ also didnt work ?

db is set right as well as it wused to work ok ?

Your a professional PAUL... maybe you can tell me what this means...
(im running vb 3.7 gold now)
