Great mod

Can you offer suggestion on how to get it to work with VBAcmps ?
http://www.vbadvanced.com/products.p...roductinfo&p=4

The link shows up in the cmps but the link doesnt work since its in a different folder

Thanks in advance

Edit the unread posts phrase and change the link from search.php?do=getnew to /forumpath/search.php?do=getnew

You rock !!

I knew it would be easy - just didnt know where to look

THANKS
Doug

Thanks for this great hack PaulM!

I was using this hack and it stopped working.

It seems that it's not compatible with Plugin Based Template Cache:

After the template cache was installed your hack stopped working :(

I'll be posting to the template cache thread about this problem too.

Thanks for your help!

Hey Paul, I know your talented, is there a slim possibility to get this mod to work with this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...nicer+greeting

In a nutshell instead of saying:

this other mod combined with this mod would show this(depending on the time of day):

In the plugin, change

to
and it should work.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

Didn't work, it reverted back to the standard greeting:

Assuming you had edited your navbar as per the other hacks instructions then I can't see why it wouldn't. There is nothing else I can tell you.

ah, I just changed the plugin, I leftout the NB edit. Will try again.

It works and thank you!

Paul, how can i exclude certains forums to be inspected for the count?

Thanks.

There is no such feature in this.

Thanks for the hack!

Just in case anyone wants to know (and sorry, if it's already been mentioned):
I also had the Text visible only in the default template. Inserting $unread in the other template (Kirsch) worked, but the URL to search.php contained backslashes. My first attempt to simply remove the backslashes from the phrases broke the default template. So I added a variable $unreadss in the product's xml-File ($unreadss = stripslashes($unread);) at around line 97 and can now insert $unreadss in the Kirsch-Template... works fine! :-)

You can exclude any forum this way. You need to edit these phrases

dup_no_posts
dup_no_posts_visit
dup_posts
dup_posts_visit

add this after do=getnew
where 1,2,3,4 are the ID's of the forums you want to exclude. This is how mine looksPaul is quite right in stating he is not going to include this as an option, as vB should have done that when they brought RSS Feeds out. There should have been the facility in ACP to exclude selected forums. This has been a nightmare for many who have used the RSS system. Hopefully it will be included in the next update. :rolleyes:

There's a significant update. That's for the better so that users don't go crazy trying to find posts that they can't see.

Thanks for the continuing updates and for providing a well-polished hack.

simply the best

Did not work with 3.6.4

Works fine with any 3.6 version.

Nice! Thanks so much! :) Works beautifully with 3.6.4

Is there anyway to exclude 1 forum from the count at all, maybe a little piece of code I can add?

I need it to stop displaying new posts for just 1 forum.
Cheers

Is there one similar to this that counts and displays x # for new threads with zero replies since last visit ?
I thought this was the one but it doesnt look like it, is it another of yours Paul ?

I'm guessing you mean the code we run on Cable Forum - that is not publicly available anywhere.

Love this hack, thank you so much. ;)

Trying to remove the <br /> in this so I don't have 4 lines in the welcome box, but when I do that it breaks the mod. Any idea why or how to remove that without it causing problems?

You can't, it's part of the text the template replacement looks for. It would look pretty stupid without anyway.

No way around that? I'd prefer to put the <br /> somewhere else.

Nope, not unless you want to start re-writing part of it.

Well, that's a shame. By removing a simple<br />, it also breaks the mod. :down:

Is it possible for this to not show posts from a certain subscription only forum? Thanks

Great little hack and I thank you for it as like it..:)

Just wondering with the edit for it not showing certain forum numbers, which works for me no worries, but am curious if that also not shows up as Unread Posts at the top or did it just show for me cause I am admin anyways?

Great hack.. thankyou :)

Hey PAUL - Great hack = Thanx
Question: JPiC is run from http://JPiCForum.info and doesn't have a forum path.
Anyway idea on how to work with vBAdvanced? Hope this doesn't sound too stupid LOL

Jacquii.

This hack would be awesome if we could move it around freely in the WB instead of it being bound or located by a statement. Any chance it could be done as a variable?

Agree 100%. While on the subject, it's redundant to have the unread posts as a link and new posts link in the navbar.

There are no plans to change anything in this mod.

over the past few days the new post link says there is 10 posts unread even tho they have all been read my members are saying the same thing for about 30 posts it was working fine the past few weeks I havent installed any other hacks since this one please help thanks

There is nothing I can tell you without admin/sql access to your forum.

OK - I'm pretty sure this modification should be seen on vBadvanced portal page. I can't see it!?!? Any ideas?

Thanx in advance,

Jacquii.

I think you would need to ask the vba team about that, I don't use it.
