I got it working for my custom theme, as far as I can tell it's working fine.

here is what I did...

Go to your Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Cybernetec Templates > cyb_advancednewposts.

Copy everything in the cyb_advancednewposts template and paste it in your nav menu.

Hope that helps!

just installed thanks :up:

Great job !
I was looking for this for ages ...
Installed and give highest mark.
For the moment number of new posts is not decreasing while you read posts. It only shows the first number. I have replaced all phrases with New since I do not have place on my navbar for long text . Will find later a solution.

Just notice if you have scripts disabled for the site you see only the first time New message in : link
It works like normal link new posts.
After this link is dissapear and it will show only the first one (New posts)

It happen users dont know how to enable scripts.
(tested only on Firefox)

I dont think is usefull to have 2 links for more or les the same thing (maybe is better to move the numbers in the drop down menu) Keep in mind also the no script issue...

Will love also usergrup permision on it :D

In rest life saver since it was asked on my forum for ages ...
Many thanks and great job!

This hack is just SUPER!!! :cool:

I have used it since 3.5.x and I still use it! :up:

:p Well, but there is this new idea that I had and that I need to apply to my forum:

I need to have this Mod working, but with the exception of two sub-forums, for example, 'sales' and 'new members'. :D

How could the exception be applied to this Mod? :confused: I mean, I want the Mod to keep working on my New Posts Button, but I don't want it to show the New Messages posts on sections "X" and "Y". :erm:

Does anyone knows how to do it? :confused:

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! :up: :up:

Option to exclude forums may be added in next version.

$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

$ad_location[ad_header_end]

It adds to navbar automatically. To add it to header, put:

Code:

$cyb_anp

after:

Code:

$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>

For those with vbAdvanced having trouble with this appearing correctly in your homepage navbar, here is the edit I found to fix it. Replacing the relative url with an absolute (full) url corrects this linking error.

Open the cyb_advancednewposts template found under Cybernetic Templates.
Find instances of:

Code:

<a href="search.php?do=getnew

Replace with

Code:

<a href="http://YOURDOMAIN.com/forum/search.php?do=getnew

I replaced all 3 instances of the relative url with an absolute. Not sure all 3 were necessary but it worked for me.

v2.2 - Jan 14. 2009.
-New: New post check is now done via AJAX - no page refresh ;-)
-New: Auto-check for new posts every x seconds
-Ability to set order of items in Smart Search Menu
-Minor bugs fixed

To upgrade:
-Import XML, allow overwrite
-Check settings, update if needed
-Translate new phrases if needed

man thought i would try this again and the number still doesnt decrease. ..i am willing to donate money to cyber to get this corrected.

Installed (on a 3.8 version forum), and seems to work fine.

Thanks for your work on this.

vB 3.7.3 patch 1 and last upgrade change not reliable numbers with 0 (after upgrade). It is verifying and still founding 0 posts. No exceptions.
I have logged with another account and is the same. FF and IE7 same thing.
I take this post/chance to thank you allot for this mod. Great stuff. :)

Installed and it's great, except it does not decrease new post count.

It counts new posts from your last visit. Mark forums as read (update 'last visit' time) to mark these post as read.

I am having the same problem...so you are saying that in only tracks from last visit so until we leave and then come back, it will not "zero" out?...unless you click on mark all read...

Thanks

With mine the new count post is showing 0 every time. It is checking but with no success. :(
I have reverted to 2.2 and it works fine. I didn't get the 2.3 version.

Still buggy, also went back to an older version. :(

I installed it but also mine is not working, Always appears 0 New Posts, please help!!!

Is there a version that is working fine with 3.7.X ???

I actually have version 2.1 installed with vBulletin 3.8.2 and it seems to work just fine. I have not upgraded to later releases because of all the problem comments in this thread.

However, we now have lots of entries on our nav bar and are using the mod to divide the nav bar into two segments. Most of our users seem to prefer the Smart Menu variant of the New Posts and rarely use the New posts: n (in n threads) piece. Is there some reasonable way to turn off the left hand piece and still keep the Smart Search Menu? I do not have the automatic update turned on.

With both variants turned on this hack takes up a lot of room on the nav bar.

Thank you for this AddOn.

I took the V 2.0 for 3.6 in vB 3.8.1 and it works fine. V 2.4 looks fine, but let the Serverload explode. Same with 2.0, but not the same Serverload.....

Some Ideas for optimization ?

Please help us Cyb to have this awesome working perfectly in the forums, update it!!

Thanx!!

Mario

another great cyb hack.....

has anyone tried the vba code posted a few posts back and had success?

works a treat thanks...

Only thing i ask... i edited header... button now massive... how can i reduce size..

Cheers

I have an RSS poster and would like to exclude that one forum from the results. Is there a way to do that with this mod.

I have the 2.1 version installed on a 3.7.* board and I see someone requested it before and a remark that it may be added to a future release but I didn't see that in the new release notes.

Thanks for your help.

For anyone looking to download the working old version:
