Try this hack,might be help.

Paul M, thank you for this plugin. One of my members brought up an issue that an incon that shows "Forum Contains New Posts" are still there after reading the unread posts. Do you know how to solve this issue?

Looks like I have the same question as what is being discussed. I have used the unread posts product for a while now and it works great. I installed Selective Forum Filter today at the request of my members. If my members go to unread posts the posts they don't want to see are not displayed in the listing, which is good, but they are still counted in the X unread posts number. If you can't see it, is it possible to have it not counted? If nothing is done they'll end up with a huge number of unread posts that they can't see. I'm wondering Is this is a reasonable request for this mod to not count what will not be displayed?

Is there a creative way for my users to get around this?

Publicly joinable groups that have no permissions to the forum?

Thank you for your time.

Thank you, this is awesome.

Hi,

I struggled for a bit about whether this was a bug because vBulletin's behaviour didn't seem correct to me, but regardless according to this, a bug it be.


A usergroup is permitted to view a forum and thread content in that forum but is not permitted to view other's threads. When a thread they are not permitted to view has a new post, the new posts indicator lights up and your modification declares that the user has 1 new post.

That new post does not display in a get new search, as they have no permission to view it so from that user's perspective the count is not correct (and nor is the statusicon, it seems to me). Tested on a stock forum, latest version.

Ta!

That's quite possible, I'm pretty sure no permission checks were changed when this was ported from 3.5, but I believe new thread permissions were added to 3.6, so this won't take them into account.

I'll make a note to fix it, but given that it will affect very few people and I'm quite busy (with a long todo list), it will probably be a while.

I don't know how popular or if it is even something that would be fairly easy to code in.

The two options you have to display the unread posts.

What would it take to make the choice be selectable per user in their UserCP? The master option would be chosen in the same way, and if they didn't choose their own, that is how they would see the unread count.

But, if they did choose the method in their UserCP options, they could see it the other way.

I hope that makes sense.

Yes, it would be possible, but since no one has ever mentioned it, there doesn't seem to be a great need for such a feature, which means it's unlikely it will ever get added, I would need to be very short of things to do. :)

I think we are all talking about the same thing but not to each other?

I have many Paul M products, and i like to keep my members happy.

Would a donation in appreciation of all the work from those asking for the update help to prioritize and get this issue resolved?

-Raymond :D

This is very nice Paul, thanks! It's untested, but regarding counting posts in forums where a member has doesn't have permission to "Can View Other's Threads"...

i think all that needs to be done is adding a conditional to the query which checks $xfperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canviewothers']

Like following:
and adding $xpostuserid_list as a variable conditional for within the WHERE clause of the query

**Installed**
on 3.6.7 and working fine on all skins.
Couldn't get it to work at first then double checked to see if it was actually enabled (which it wasn't) so if you find this happens to you... check that first :)

*sigh* I would love to use this if I could put it somewhere other than the navbar template. :(

Great mod!

You don't have to put it in the navbar, the options are there to auto-modify a different template, or you could even manually add it somewhere.

What PAUL said - and perhaps you should take notice that what you hear about navbar template ain't always gold.

Jacquii.

Thanks Paul, I discovered that after I opened the file. I was just going by the screenshot. :)




Not sure what you mean by that, Jacquii, but being a vB designer, I'm well acquainted with the navbar template.

My point was that the forum that I want to use this mod on would require that it be placed in another template. :)

This shows on the default style, but will not show on my modified style.

The login name and PM's etc... are showing on the left of the style instead of the standard right.

Can someone please tell me how to edit the correct template to allow this to show.

Thanks.

Gad an issue when browsing the private.php, I see the hack sometimes 2-4 times. See screenshot.

Sometimes ?

You obviously have some customisation that is affecting it on that page, if you work out under what conditions it happens, it might give you a clue as to what causes it.

works great, thanks

OK, I love this hack...

Now, can it do this:

I recently changed my forum to be about one specific sporst team to many different teams. Some users of the original forum would like to see new posts only in forums and sub-frums that they select, or not see a count from threads they don't care about.

Before I go in and monkey around with the code, is something like this a) doable and b) something you may consider for a future release?

Here's my forum so that you see what I mean. It used to be only for our soccer team, Rochester Raging Rhinos, but now encompasses all of our local teams.

Thanks!

There is no such functionality in this, nor am I considering it atm.

Perhaps when vb3.7 comes out (requiring a new release) I may think about it then.

Ok, INSTALLED.... :)

However, it doesn't show up?

I have my thread marking set as:

Inactivity/Cookie Based
Database (no automatic forum marking) <------
Database (automatic forum marking)

The mod is turned ON....

Running v3.6.7pl1

Any ideas?

Thanks

Badger

Edit: Never mind ... :) For some reason, I had to go into the Manage Products area after the IMPORT and install and ENABLE the mod. I never had to do that before. It's now on-line and functioning fine. Thanks Paul... very nice ... as usual ... :up:

Thanks.

Would you mind, then, if I looked into modifying your code?

You're right, for some reason the default is set to disabled, not sure why that is, I'll update the zip file shortly. Thanks.

You are free to edit it on your forum as much as you like, you just cannot release any modified version. :)

Zip updated to be enabled when installed.

thanks installed :)

v1.21 : ATCS and disable options added.

Dumb question,what ATCS ?

The system used to automatically add the hacks output to a template.

It dosent work for me and i dosent understand what i should write in the

Are you using a custom style ?

Now it works. But is it possible to have it like all new post will show always
Now it is that if you have read one thread it dissapear from the text.

Hope you understand what i mean

What is the diffrent to use the diffrent database
( ) Inaktivitet/Cookie-based
( ) Database (iNo automatisk forum-mark)
(X) Database (automatisk forum-mark)

Where do i set this to No.
If i put it to NO in the Display Unread Posts it dosent show at all

The modification itself has a section in your vb options.

Witch are.

I dont realy understand your text, can you explain it better.

:o

There is a set of settings for this mod (in it's own section) in your vbulletin options, that is where you will find the option you are looking for.

I see you address the ignored users, but what about ignored threads? I still see unread posts counts from ignored threads. I use database marking.

Thanks

There is no such thing as ignored threads in default vbulletin.

Right. You are correct. I have the ignore threads mod. Any chances it works with this? I understand they are two different mods.

Nope, it's unlikely to work with such a modification.

BTW, there is no code that takes account of ignored users either.

Hi,
I installed it, and, as I'm using a modified style I added $unread in my navbar and desactivated the automatic installation
But nothing happens, I don't see anything.

I'm using 3.6.8

Do you have database threadmarking turned on ............
