Can u do "New Posts: x (In y Threads)" per forum? like they do in UBB Threads?

we just changed over and our members do u like the fact that they can go to the forum home and see all the unread posts and threads per line and if no unread posts or threads then they keep moving on.

is that possible?

any code for that? like adding a forum ID or something to the query?

cyb, first, thanks for a great product. :)

i have a few of your mods on the board i help run but this one is creating something a bit odd. when a person clicks on the XX in XX threads portion, they're getting a peculiar search timeout message. it gives the default vB message for search, but then it says they can perform a search again not in the default 30 seconds, but in very large number, like 1600 seconds. it's happened to a few people, but i haven't been able to replicate this. some are using FF and others IE.

also, a couple of people have had to re-log in after clicking the "new posts" portion. again, i haven't been able to replicate this, so i'm not sure what might be causing it.

any help you could provide would be apprecaited. :)

I dont see the "new post in " tab ....

what am I doing wrong

this mod is causing undue load on my server -- like from 1.10,0.60,0.50 to 5,6,6; mysql is returning slow queries like no ones business; i maybe run 20-30 concurrent users.

Any ideas on how to improve the speed of the queries this thing is performing? Is there an index that can be added?

otherwise, great mod. Thanks.

Ok that explains what I was seeing. I've uninstalled for now, I look forward to the next version!

Edit Done it lolol!!!

Great mod mate thanks :)

hello,
great plugin, but i have a problem with it. I installed it w/o any problem,seemed fine at begining,but then i realised that even if i read the post,the number wont go down :)

It does not count new posts although there are

I am using VBSEO and this works fine.


Only it used to show a list of "unread" threads... even if there were no "new" threads. Now it doesn't. But in Smart Search Menu "New Posts In" -> "View all new post" - show unread thread.

Can you Cyb add that feature some time :)

Not working for me, never shows any new posts. :confused:

Is this possible to have this mod, underneath the time? We currently have one their, be nice to have an ajax one instead because we dont use a navbar(flash header)

Unfortunately, it also does not function with me. In spite of new contributions it always indicates zero, all the same what I change in the settings. vB 3.8.2.

ditto.. nothin at all showing for me.. maybe theres a prob with my style?

Can no one fix the issue with it just saying 0 all the time?

vBulletin® Version 3.8.4

does not work with my style. but works ok in default style.
vb,3.8.4

mine on vb 3 8 4 always has 0 posts.... is yours the same?

Can someone tell me what's smart search?

what's smart search?

So, great mod, but can't leave it on as when the forums are off (for maintenance or something) it will copy ALL of the "offline" message and paste it over the top nav bar...

Can you please fix this? If it is not template specific....?

I'm adding this to a custom theme and would like to add it in the header template like in the picture below.

Could anyone please tell me what code to add to the header and I'll get the rest sorted.

Thanks :)

not sure because this works with a phrase that's in a template and replaces it

so i'm not sure how you would do that..

I all ready have a new posts button in my forums. Just wondering why i would want this one?

because it will add (# of threads and # post) next to it look at the screenshots?

You can see my problem from the attached pic, I cant see the text on the drop down menu. Its there but in white font against a white background.

Do you plan on doing any updates for this Cyb?

Check out how i've implemented it on my forum. Its a VERY VERY integral 'seen always' part.

I've noticed that it will timeout after awhile just 'stuck' on checking for new posts. Any ideas?

For anyone looking to download the old working version:

Is there any way to get this to not list the RSS feed posts and new posts?

I would like to Move New Posts links (New Posts and Menu) to a different location.

What URL should I be copying from the navbar. newposts.php?search=

Thanks!

Anyone know how I can Exclude RSS posts from the post count.

I added a plugin at the search_start hook to exclude showing the RSS forums and that works fine.

All I need now is for the search result to exclude those forums form the post and thread count.

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks...

Yeah, that's the only problem I have :( It would be nice if we don't have do mark forums as read to have 0.

Installed but disable for now. Can't wait for the new version... :)

Installed this mod but it doesn't show any new post when I log in as another user after making some posts...

Is there a way to make this show new posts in Social Groups?

Thanks, had to install this 3.7 version on my 3.8.4 board to get it working. Would love to see the 3.8.4 bugs get solved though as I like the extra settings it allows.

Installed, but now I'm beginning to wonder if I'll have a logic conflict for members.

We run with our setting as:

Database (automatic forum marking) - this option is the same as a previous option, but forums are automatically marked as read when the last new thread is read.

Will this mod be compatible with our settings?

Thanks .. :)

Different questions ...

I notice when a user selects SSM as an option and turns it ON, there's an additional "New Posts In" drop down box that appears on the Navbar. It works great, except if someone selects any forum where there's no new posts, it uses the search page to look for any, as below...

http://www.xxx.com/search.php

The problem is that when it doesn't find any new posts, it gives the standard vBulletin message:

"Sorry, there are no new threads to view.
You may search for threads updated during the previous 24 hours, here."

Unfortunately, that page changes the Navbar and the user no longer sees the"New Posts In"drop down box on it, however the "New Posts (1)" button from this mod is still there?

Where do we get this mod to add to the Navbar "New Posts In" drop down box so that it appears when the search turns up nothing, of course only optionally if this component of the mod is active (or the entire mode itself)?


Second ...

I notice that forums that are hidden (ie: moderator forum) appears in the "New Posts In" drop down list, if it's forum number is added to the SSM field. Having said that, if a user clicks on it, the "permissions" function prevents the user from seeing the contents, but why does it appear in the first place? Shouldn't hidden forums be "hidden" if a member has no Usergroup permissions to see them?

Thanks .. :)

got some problem with this new version...
count for new post remains 0 ever. :(

I hope this hack upgrade to run on vb4. I love this hack and my users also!

After installing it, it tried and failed to find new posts at all :(

too bad as the plug in really looks good :( uninstalled.
Also if the forum is closed, the plug in creates a double page of what the "we are closed" html content has.

IS NOT WORKING.
It´s always says that i have 0 new messages all the time.
And when i post a new one, still said "0 new messages.
I have Vbulletin 3.8.2

What happend with this hack Cyb??? I use a lot your hacks!! you are a great coder!! I will wait a new release and desinstall the 2.4. Thanks in advance for your work.
