Do you have database thread marking turned on.

Kewl, works exactily how you say Paul

*installed*

Paul,

Thanks for another great hack. :)

If I may just comment on a more philosophical point, while I understand this might cut off a lot of questions, I believe leaving the positioning of the hack results up to the final admin is a better idea than integrating everything in the xml. Just my humble opinion. And thanks again. :)

Thanks Paul, just what I was looking for. Installed.

I have replaced all search.php with

http://www.localracechat.com/forums/search.php? in the navbar. and still can't get my portal to point to it. where exactly did you make this edit?

He edited the plugin code.

Oh, ok thanks

Working now..

where is the setting in the ACP?

Read Pauls post again..

Just moved from DCForum to vB 3.5.2, should have done it a long time ago. Great collection of hacks, and just installed this one. Thanks.

I'm partial to the inactivity/cookie based system but I really like the "posts since last visit" number. I used to have the same thing in phpbb and my members loved. Is there a way to just get that number and nothing else? I don't need the more accurate marking system and what not, I just want to put the number up there.

Just logged into our forum and the welcome box showed 62 unread messages, but 'New Posts' only came up with 40. Why the difference?

Bob

What "new posts" ?

You will see from the attached that it shows 30 Unread Posts. But after clicking 'New Posts' on the menu bar there are only 21. Or are unread and new posts different?

Bob

Are you sure that's 21 posts in your result, and not 21 threads ?.

Also, which of these settings do you have ?

Display unread posts option is set to 'No'.

Posts or threads? This is confusing, as the welcome box shows 30 unread *posts* and clicking on the 'New Posts' link shows 21, presumably *posts*.

Bob

No, 21 would normally be the number of threads listed.

Is it possible to make it work with : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91025
??

Are you going to ask the same question in all my threads ?

Not on purpose, I had both as favorites (since those plugins are similiar) and I thought I have not saved correctly since I couldn't find my post anymore ...

I deleted the other one ..

Works fine. Although I had to go through a couple of pages of peoples replies to get all the proper info.

But thanks. I love these hacks.

Paul, great hack, as usual. And this has nothing to do with your work, but I'll ask anyway. In that same "Get New" box that this adds to, I have that doesn't update, or, do anything for that matter.

Can't find the template that describes that. Any suggestions?
Thanks
rich

I assume that's some other hack you have installed, the instructions for that hack should tell you. :)

What template is this that we're dealing with? I have to get into it, so that the html direct works outside the forum (in my vbadvanced)
Thanks!
rich

What exactly is the difference between the Inactivity/Cookies Based, Database (no automatic forum marking), and Database (automatic forum marking)?

and which one would be best to enable for this hack?

Hi Paul

All is OK

But only in forum

I have installade Photopost, and when I move to /forum/photopost this hack dont work for me :disappointed:

Sorry, but since Photopost is a 3rd party application there is nothing I can do about that.

Cool, thanks.

wow.. i didn't even know about the db-based newposts until i came across this hack! very cool.

ugh... would like to use, but i'm trying to reduce processor activity and don't use the database marking system.

Nice addon Thanks worked perfect even with my custom templates

I need to change the code on this, to "hardwire it", because it won't link to the new posts area when I'm in certain pages (ie, in some of my vbadvanced pages, which, by default, include my header. (eg: http://www.russbo.org/index.php?page=staff& )

I've looked in navbar, and header, but I can't find where you coded this.

rich

EDIT: fixed it. Found it in the plug ins, and just modified the call to search.php

Yeah, just change the href in the code. :)

if your other hack works fine, is there any reason to run this one instead?

That rather depends on what the "other one" is :)

this was actually just answered...

AdminCP > Plugin System > Plugin Manager > Display Unread Posts > Edit:

Find (2x):

Replace with:

^^ if your forum dir isn't /forum, make sure you change that to whatever it is...

This one shows unread posts (only), the other one shows new posts (read or unread) and also new reputation comments. It's up to you which you want, there is no reason to change unless you (a) want unread posts and (b) don't want new rep comments.
