Can you please tell me how to do that? I only have a little experience doing stuff in phpmyadmin (but haven't had any problems doing it).

Thanks.

[QUOTE=Paul M;1653225]I apologize for my ignorance but I would rather ask questions first before breaking anything. Do I run that on the SQL page?

And then what do I do after running that?

Thanks again.

1. Yes, run it as an SQL query.

2. Just install the mod (wait for the index to be created, which coud take a while).

I've installed the product and scanned this thread but I still can't figure out why mine will not display.

Do I need to manually add something to my modified nav bar template?

I take it you read this ?

Is there a way to block users from using this addon? I love it, but several members on my forum dont like it. It would be nice if some members could disable it via the CP.

Nope, there is no such facility.

i had this working on my tes pages but it wont work now its gone live it gives me this :

Importing Product, Please Wait...

[:]
Checking for Index

Checking User Table
Adding Column to User Table

Display Unread Posts and Reputation Comments

Installing : Version 3.7.007 ; Revision 3.14

( Replacing : Version 3.7.007 ; Revision 3.14 )

What is your question exactly ?

That it dosnt work and thats what i get when installing ?

im running 3.7.4 ..

What was displayed is correct.

"it doesnt work" isnt exactly a question, and I dont have enough information to be able to say much. Have you checked everything mentioned in the main post.

link to site if that helps

not without an admin login it doesnt. :)

This mod ROCKS! :D

Hi Paul,

A small request is it possible you can add a feature where admins can filter out threads from a particular forum for the Unread Post bit?

I'd appreciate it if you can do this sometime in the near future or if there is way already?

As it says ;

plz answer above thread

Thank you

Paul,
I love the mod and use it with my RSS feeds. Is there some code I can change in the NavBar for "New Posts" that will point it to the same seach as the Unread Posts code? I blocked the RSS forums in your mod and it works great.. but when the users click on "new posts" in the navbar, they see all the RSS posts also.

I've searched all over this thread for this answer and if I missed it.. I apologize.

Thanks
matt

You need to add &exclude=1,2,3 to the url.

Is there a variable you defined for the excluded forums that I can add to the end of the url?

I guess I'm not explaining it correctly. When someone clicks on 'New Posts" on the NavBar, I want them to use your code instead of the code thats in the NavBar template. I have commented out the OEM code and added a link with the excluded forums, and that works, but if I add a new RSS feed, then I have to edit the template again to add that forum number.

Ie: <!--ADDED BY MATT FOR NEW POSTS-->
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.thesabrehood.org/forum/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=144,145,146,161,162,1 63">New Posts</a></td>

Is there a code block I can put here to take advantage of your great mod from the NavBar location.

Thanks for all your efforts!

Use $vboptions[dupexcl]

i.e. search.php?do=getnew&exclude=$vboptions[dupexcl]

Why is this not included in the Mod? Without that it makes no sense to exclude a Forum from your Mod.

In this Way i have to edit every single Phrase with the Searchlink of your Mod.

Um, it is .......

I think you misunderstand me now.

Only the Counter is lower if i use your excluded Function in AdminCP.

I have to add to every Phrase of your Mod the exclude manually if i want the search beiing affected.

The link provided by the mod includes the exclude functionality, but I see your point.

I might be able to force the search to always exclude them - the question is, do I want to ?

Not everyone (including me) wants them always excluded.

I added a line in my navbar template so directly below this mod's line of "you have X unread posts", right underneath there is the text that says "Mark all posts as read". Users really like to see their number of unread posts, but it was confusing some of them and they were not able to find the "mark all forums read" option in the quick links menu. Now with a single click they can mark all as read, 1/4" away on the screen. I'm happy with how it is on my site now and don't need any updates to this mod, but it might be a nice option for the next rev.

If I want to translate it to swedish, where do i edit stuff?

In the product XML, phrases section - or in your ACP after you install it.

Excellent mod! Installed.

Thank you, Paul :)

You can do this with a 1-line plugin:

add it to the search_getnew_start hook:

Change the 22 to the ID of whichever forum you want excluded from the new posts search. Add more with commas if you need more than one excluded.

I just thought it might be cool to have the unread posts part (or all of it. I just use the Unread Posts) check x seconds for updates to posts. That way you can just leave the page up and people can come back and see they have new posts without reloading the page. Cyb's Forum Stats shows latest posts with ajax and its pretty cool.

As always, you can always make it optional for those that don't want to see the performance impact. Just a thought :)

Hi Paul

Again thanks for your great work. Sorry to do a bump of a request made some time ago.

But I really think that would be very useful if your hack also alert users when new posts are made in the social groups they belong to, or comments made on their blog.

I ask again apologize for the bump, and thank you very much again for your time!

Sorry, I dont use social groups or blogs, so there is little chance this will be modified.

Thanks for your answer.
What a pity, it would really be a very useful addition for those who use social groups and blogs.

Anyway thank you and hopefully someday you can include it. Thank you very much for your hard work and time!.

greetings!

Doesn't show new Reputation on navbar only shows new Unread Posts. How can i show new reputation!? please help me

Hi Paul,

I want to know how can I delete(clean) all the unread posts of all my users in my forum ??, because I know that almost all my users have a lot of unread posts, so I want to clean that and start from zero today and then every 5 days the unread posts erase it automatically.

Thank you Paul!!

Mario

You cant do that.

So all that unread post are a lot of memory (cache) in the server ???
