The date and time are already on the next line, why would you want them twice ?

Works fine, but it sent the server load through the roof so I had to remove it

You must have fun with getnew/getdaily searches then, since it's basically the same.

Works like a Charm Tanks

What is the Portal Output Global Variables for this hack, It give me a error page on the CMPS.

I have one question, where do I need to edit to change the info in Sapnish?

You will need to edit the actual plugin, unless you want to wait for the phrased version (Probably later this week, I'm slowly going though my hacks).

Paul - how can I change this so my RSS forums aren't included in the search for new posts for this plugin? I have the opt out extension installed for new posts and "get daily" searches, but it would be nice if I could opt them out of this one as well.

You would have to edit the code (or turn off the search permission for that forum).

I turned the search engine permission off for those forums through the forum manager but it hasn't affected the new post count in the welcome panel.

Can you offer some guidance on how I would edit the code to exclude those forums? I'm guessing it's a conditional statement with the forum ids but I don't know how to construct it or where to place it.

ok what have I done wrong? lol it show's how many new posts twice.

Did you actually go into forum permissions screens, it's not the search indexing option in the normal forum edit screen.

When I have the time, I'm rather busy atm.

Yes, the opt out option is working fine but just not with the number of posts showing up in the welcome panel.

Okay. :)

I did try to add an exclude line with the forum numbers after each of the search commands in your plugin, but that didn't change the number of posts being counted.

I still don't think you are altering the correct thing, as it does affect the count.

ACP > Forums & Moderators > Forum Permissions

Find the forum in question, and edit the permissions for each usergroup, setting "Can Search Forums" to 'No'.

You are correct sir. I knew I had changed a setting through that screen, but it was a different option. I've switched it to No and it is working now. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

can someone help me on make this PlugIn work together with [https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91025]this[/url] extension? So users only see how many new postings are in the forums they are really interested in?T

Regards,

Tobi

I have them working together fine. Just install both and make sure you have the settings in the forum permissions area set correctly.

Hi,

yep, I also have them working site by site, but I always get "3 new postings since your last visit", even if these postings are within a forum which I do not want to show at "New Post"!

Regards,

Tobi

Hi Paul.
One minor problem I have. The plug works GREAT (the best I've installed!) but when a member clicks on the "new threads" it also displays threads that are in a locked/private forum. Everyone is clicking the thread and getting a "no permission" error. I believe it has potential to cause some friction in the forum

I've seen a similar plug, where you specify which forums are displayed by order number. Is this possible with your plugin?

No, it's not.

This does not do anything special when you click the link - it simply calls the standard vbulletin new posts' search "/search.php?do=getnew" - the same as clicking the 'New Posts' link on the Navbar, so how did you handle this problem before ?

oops i got it

Thanks for getting the issue I asked about fixed in the latest vB version :) I would have reported it myself if I thought they would fix it. +1 rep to vB I guess.

Awesome. Works like a charm. Good stuff!

Having said that, I'm finding it a touch erratic. Sometimes it works as it should now, sometimes it's still counting your own posts as unread. Can anyone confirm this on 3.5.1?

happend to me on 3.5 and still on 3.5.1

would be nice if this could be fixed ???

It was supposed to have been in this version:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs3...1518&status=20

I'm sure Paul would follow it up since he filed the original bug report.

I would have preferred to be able to place the count of unread posts where we wanted in the navbar box much easier. I ended up having to made aload of edits to the search text bit to make it replace the correct area that i wanted!

They only agreed to "fix" it for new threads, not new posts to existing threads.

I don't see you would need to make "aload of edits". If you want to place it somewhere custom, just put a comment in the template at the location you want ( like <!-- unread posts here --> ) and change the search to look for that comment. Simple really. :)

So if I understand this correctly, if we want it to show up from our forumhome template, then we would change this line of code:

to this?

...and then add "<!-- unread posts here -->" in the forumhome template where we want it to show up? Is that correct Paul?

Does it matter which one we have it set to "Database (no automatic forum marking)" or "Database (automatic forum marking)"?

It makes no difference to the working of this hack, either will do.

I installed in my board, 3.5.1, nothing showed.

Tried both settings of yes and no in the ACP, nothing. :(

Do you have a customized style?!
