No prob, as long as we get it working :)

How can I get this to work with vbadvanced?
If a member clicks on the link from a vba page, it will send the use to mysite.com/group.php instead of mysite.com/forum/group.php

Check out the new build I just uploaded - you now can define a custom URL in AdminCP.

Very nice. Thank you.

I added this to a large site, and got many bug reports from confused members, because when I started to use this mod, all members had more notifications, than they could discover. Many groups that where not listed in bold on group.php did cause a notification by this mod. The groups also did not have any bold / unread threads.

Only after they go to each group, one by one and use the 'mark group as read' function, the notification went away.

Its still driving my members mad, though an announcement does help a lot.

This modification has really increased activity in my Social Groups! My members are posting up a storm. Where I had only a few new posts to approve a day, I now have a new one every few minutes.

This is now pretty much perfect, thanks Cellarius.

Another of those "why isn't it in the default build?" addons - of which there are several for Social Groups.

<font color="DarkOrchid">Hello,

I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong, but its not working on my board. I did everything that you said, but it still doesn't show up. Could there be something that I'm missing?</font>

Im using Inactivity/Cookie Based how can i get this to work?

From the mod description:
Since I don't put up red waring messages lightly, the answer of course is: You can't. If you want to know why, fell free to read the first post, right unter that red text.

Yeah i read that , Usually after 4 pages on a mod 99% of the things in the first post don't apply anymore :D

I installed this, and it provides only a general notification that send people to the main Social Groups page. There's no indication of which particular group caused the notification, and because of that, users have no idea of how to dismiss the notification. How frustrating!

This is going to drive our users absolutely nuts with anger, and rightly so.

Please tell me I'm missing something.

If this feature is to be useful, it must send a user directly to the social group that created the notification.

Where does it say in the mod description it would do anything else?

Then don't install it.

No, you don't.

This is not possible with the current read marking system of vB (or only with an insane cost of ressources). This mod is as it is - if you don't like it, don't install it. That easy, really.

While this add-on does greatly confuse a portion of our members, and it does notify of unread social groups, even while no groups are in bold, and thereby is not perfect, this add-on has made my once barely active groups now almost as active as my high traffic forums. In this regard its an absolute winner. Thanks.

I got nothing but complaints about this mod. We left it installed for two days and had a thread with loads of complaints about it.

I can imagine. I had the same. But thats where your staff needs to jump in and explain to your members how to deal with the notifications. Preferably with a step by step instruction with pics. After that 99% of the complaints will be solved.

It is best to add your own screenshots that are specific to your own site.

IHTH

As I said: If you of your users don't like the mod, don't install it. It works within the boundaries of the vB read marking system. If you do not like those boundaries (I don't like them either), this is the wrong place to complain.

hi dear

I installed your hack, .... in a group that I belong it is sent new discussion ... in notifications dropdown, I notice that a discussion has been sent. but with click on the notification, it isn't died!
help me!
tnx

the problem solved ..! :)

Nice idea thanks, installed but when I've send a comment or message to a group, why only show "groups.php"? I go to only groups.php why don't go original group 12-group-manowar.html ?

Explain: groups.php (showing this) - groups/25-elvis-presley.html (don't show like this)

Because that information is not available where my mod hooks in, and the cost to query it would be insane (given that it would have to be queried on every pageload and read/not read-queries are quite complex).

Ummm, well thanks again.

I would actually enjoy this if my members actually didn't have to read all of their groups in order for it to work properly. Thank got for paid technicians and coders. =D

He had me run a query to reset all the users groups to their status being read and now the mod works flawlessly!

<font color="DarkOrchid">I really need some help with this. I've done everything, but it still doesn't show the dropdown menu. I can see the notifications when I go into my CP, but I would like the dropdown menu to be there to. Could someone please tell me how I can fix it so that it does the dropdown.</font>

This mod does not show anything in your usercp. You just need to import the product file and make the required settings in your admincp. Instructions for this are in the first post, I really can't add to that - just follow them. The dropdown menu is not generated by this mod, this mod only adds to it. Does the entry for social groups show if you have, say, an unread pm?

<font color="DarkOrchid">Then do you know which mod does the dropdown notifications? Since this one only adds to it. I thought it was the actual mod for it. Sorry, I wouldn't have been buggin' if I known this wasn't the whole mod. I had been looking everywhere for that notification mod.</font>

The notifications menu is not created by an addon at all. It is standard vbulletin.

<font color="DarkOrchid">Okay. Because I looked everywhere, but when I didn't find it I thought it was an addon. Maybe I didn't look in the right places. I'll go look again. Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it.</font>

Hi also from me
I have install it and its working perfect , i was waiting for this mod for a long long time.
Thansk a lot .

I have only one question to make please.
Some users receiving notification that there is something in one of the social group they are a memmber , but when they go there there is nothing new to dead or see , but they still have the message that there is a meessage new.

Why this is happening ?

Still recieving faulse notification , please someone can help ?

Wished I've seen this earlier. Thanks Cellarius.

Great mod, thanks, working perfectly on 3.8.5. Just one question though, is there any way to make it send a PM or email for when a New Thread is started in a group they are a member of?

Nice, thanks!

Can I have this query? thanks!

Hi, great mod, very useful, but i not have understand well the up step, please can anybody make me a simple example? Thanks

Was this problem ever fixed?

Can you show us this query so that we can run this?

No. The problem lies in limited functionality in vbulletin itself. The best approach is to request functionality group notifications from vBulletin Solutions: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-10815
https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...on-vB-v.-Ning?

thanks!

I have a question. When someone posted a new discussion, the group names gets bold but when I click on "mark group read" the notification doesn't go away. it's still there (but the group is no longer bold) what am I doing wrong? thanks :)

I've had to modify this mod so that the notification properly goes away. Specifically, you need to check whether the last social group read marking time is greater than the last post in all subscribed social groups.
