Unread Posts and Reputation Comments (welcome box)

This modification is no longer available or supported.

Note: The unread posts portion of this hack only works if you use the database thread marking system.

This will display the actual number of posts that are still considered unread by you (and will show up in a 'getnew' search).

Versions 1.22+ also display the number of new reputation comments since you last checked your usercp.

There is the option to count the unread posts since your last visit, or all posts considered unread. This setting reflects the divider in the 'getnew' search display. There is also the option to disable the unread posts display or the new reputation comments display.

All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Display Unread Posts and Reputation.

To install this hack unzip the xml file and import it using the ACP Product Manager.

History:

v1.11 : First Release for vb 3.6 - various changes.
v1.12 : Updated for Version Checking.
v1.13 : Phrases Updated.
v1.14 : Dependancies updated, URL's updated.
v1.15 : Minor phrasing changes.
v1.16 : Changes to the way displayed messages are built.
v1.17 : SQL Changes to use slave.
v1.18 : Fixed broken Index creation (on install).
v1.19 : Modified slightly to exclude moderated or soft deleted posts (unless moderator).
v1.20 : Duplicate line of code removed.
v1.21 : ATCS and disable options added.
v1.22 : New reputation comments added. ATCS removed as now unnecessary.
v1.23 : Bug fixes. Added links prefix setting.
v1.24 : Fix reputation comments not being marked as read.
v1.25 : Permission check updated to include 'canviewthreads'.

Thanks for the update. I was using the 3.5 version but its nice to have the official 3.6 one.

Okay, I loaded it, it shows up in my Products, but I have nothing about unread posts in the welcome box... What have I done wrong?

Roxie

08-14-2006 01:55 AM

I have the same issue. I actually went back to see if I needed to edit any templates. O_o

nix	08-14-2006 02:08 AM

Working fine here. Just unistalled the old one and installed the new one. Didn't need to do any edits or settings.

Phaedrus

08-14-2006 02:13 AM

I didn't have an old version. This is the first version I ever loaded...

I even see the two options in my CP as it stated I would. Just nothing in the welcome box.

Phaedrus

08-14-2006 02:33 AM

I uninstalled it now. I have it to try again later, but if it isn't working there is no real reason to keep it loaded...

Phaedrus

08-14-2006 02:40 AM

Okay, I figured out why it wasn't working, have reloaded it and it is working...

In ACP -> vBulletin options -> General Settings -> Thread/Forum Read Marking type... You need to select one of the Database options or it won't work....

Can this be modified to show in the header between calendar and seach, like this:

Calendar - New Posts (45) - Search

45 is just an example, this would be post count.

Thanks

It works fine for me but I would prefer to place it below the "You last visited" string. How can it be done?

is a good mod, would be very helpful if i could get it to work...

The following dependencies were not met:

Quote:

1. This product is not compatible with version 3.6.0 Release Candidate 3 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.6.0)

Yes, upgrade to the full version of 3.6, you should not be running an RC version.

Looking forward to the new reps link. :D :D
Works great after I changed the database thread marking. I must be getting quite old because my eyes totally missed that tiny note.

Thanks!

How can we move the text to a different place? I'd prefer it under the "Private Messages: Unread/Total"

There is no option to move it.

I know there isn't......which is why I was asking how would I go about moving it to another location? obviously the code has to modified but I have no experience with product modification.

You would have to edit the plugin to disable the auto template update of the navbar, and then manually edit your navbar to put $unread where you want it.

Go into the XML-File and replace

Code:

$search_text = ' ';

with

Code:

$search_text = '\$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>';

Then replace

Code:

$unread = construct_phrase('<a href=\"search.php?do=getnew\">'.$vbphrase['unread_posts'].'</a><br />',$postcount['unread']);

with

Code:

$unread = construct_phrase('<br /><a href=\"search.php?do=getnew\">'.$vbphrase['unread_posts'].'</a><br />',$postcount['unread']);

If I understood the Code correctly it should work fine for you!

I agree, that it would be good, and so I did it and tested it for you :laugh:
Step 1: Open Paul's XML-File with Notepad
Step 2:

Search for:

Code:

$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace($search_text,$search_text.$unread,$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']);

Below add these four Lines:

Code:

$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace("\$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a>","\$vbphrase[new_posts_nav] (".$postcount['unread'].")</a>",$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']);

              $vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace("\$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a>","\$vbphrase[new_posts_nav] (".$postcount['unread'].")</a>",$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']);

              $vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace("\$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a>","\$vbphrase[todays_posts] (".$postcount['unread'].")</a>",$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']);

              $vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace("\$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a>","\$vbphrase[todays_posts] (".$postcount['unread'].")</a>",$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']);

Step 3: Re-Import the XML (allow overwrite=Yes) - Yep you're done! :cool:
And don't forget to refresh your Browser :p

Customize just the default Searchtext for proper Replacement

Find this in Paul's XML-Product-File:

Code:

$search_text = ' ';

Replace with:

Code:

$search_text = '\$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>';

Find this:

Code:

$unread = construct_phrase('<a href=\"search.php?do=getnew\">'.$vbphrase['unread_posts'].'</a><br />',$postcount['unread']);

Replace with (just to ensure to have it in the new Line):

Code:

$unread = construct_phrase('<br /><a href=\"search.php?do=getnew\">'.$vbphrase['unread_posts'].'</a><br />',$postcount['unread']);

It should normally work (untested)!
Save with Notepad - Re-Import Hack, Allow overwrite 'yes', refresh Browser :)

Set the option to 'Yes' in the settings.

This won't work, the template cache is not the same as the template itself - it is actually php code, you cannot search for vb template specific stuff like <if> and <phrase>.

Ivander

08-15-2006 07:06 PM

@Paul

Can you also add more info.Example

Number of unread Post: (already done)
new feature

- X new Post and y new Threads after your Last Visit

I changed to location of where the link shows up by putting "' at the template location I want the mod to be displayed.
then I changed the search text to:

Code:

$search_text = '';

I also properly edited the line

Code:

$unread = construct_phrase('<a href=\"search.php?do=getnew\">'.$vbphrase['unread_posts'].'</a><br />',$postcount['unread']);

to reflect the proper html requirements of the selected location.

(The above only represents an example the changes of that I did to change the location of this modifications displayed info)

I can see why the author would not be supportive of moving the location due to the rather large possibilities of HTML combinations that exist in the templates.

This mod should be part of vB. Of all the mods that I've added to the site this mod ranks up there with the journal as the most praised and its only been on the site for a day. Thanks!

That was my solution too, plus I changed it a little bit more to make it look like the "Private Messages" line!!!

Sorry, yes, wrong mod. What you want is not related to this modification and you need to start a seperate thread.
