For the script of the Last Posts here

? i don't quite understand what you need.....

Ok, the Latest Post hack that you can put on any page, i just have mine set to show the latest subject lines. I want also to put a little image on the side that shows wether the post is new from the last ones youve read. so in this picture below

http://clanthc.virtualave.net/latestposts.gif

This would show theyve all been read, if the "v" was white it would show they were new. Im just not sure of the code to add in this script to check the last messages youve read.

i see what you are saying... i just dont know where to get the piece of code.:stupid:

Neo	10-31-2001 07:46 PM

heres that main code for it

Quote:

// do light bulb
if ($bbuserinfo['lastvisitdate']=='Never') {
$forum['onoff']='on';
} else {
if ($bbuserinfo['lastvisit']<$forum['lastpost']) {
$forum['onoff']='on';
} else {
$forum['onoff']='off';
}
}

if ((!$forumperms['canpostnew'] and $showlocks) or $forum['allowposting']==0) {
$forum['onoff'].='lock';
}

// prepare template vars
if (!$showforumdescription) {
$forum['description']='';
}

Neo	10-31-2001 07:51 PM

and where would be a piece of code that goes in the templates for it

Quote:

but as for anything eles i am not to sure

Christy

10-31-2001 08:04 PM

Ok, this is the main part i needed

Code:



// do light bulb 

if ($bbuserinfo['lastvisitdate']=='Never') { 

$forum['onoff']='on'; 

} else { 

if ($bbuserinfo['lastvisit']<$forum['lastpost']) { 

$forum['onoff']='on'; 

} else { 

$forum['onoff']='off'; 

} 

}

Now wouldnt this be something else like thread instead of forum, since i want to see if the thread has been updated, not the forum

Code:

$forum['lastpost'])

Also shoudnt

Code:

$bbuserinfo

Have to be recognized as something

Im not a wiz at this, so thanks for going through it with me

Neo	10-31-2001 08:58 PM

try it as it is and if it does not work just give a post and i will try and figure it out

Christy

10-31-2001 09:14 PM

Yeah, i did do it and it just showed the black v pic(off.gif) wether theres new posts or not

Neo	10-31-2001 10:05 PM

ok give me a little bit since it is halloween here, i think i may take a break from coding...

Christy

10-31-2001 10:20 PM

No prob..appreciate the help

MrLister

11-01-2001 12:48 AM

so did you get it to work? do you still need help?

Christy

11-01-2001 01:09 AM

Still need help =/

I know its probably simple, but im not good enough with this code to know :confused:

MrLister

11-01-2001 01:23 AM

ok i got enough time now to help you out as much as you need... ok so run by me once again what it is that you need... do you want it so that if hte post is newer then the users last visit? if yes then post the query code here and i'll edit it for you so that it shows up right..

Christy

11-01-2001 01:32 AM

Only code I have is the Last Post script, and the code neo posted for me, not exactly sure what ya want me to post

But your exactly right on what i want, so in the pic i posted on page 1, the icon will be a white v showing theres been a new post or reply in a thread since last visit

MrLister

11-01-2001 01:51 AM

ok yup. just post the code from the hack... the hack that you dl has a file in it.. post that

ohh great now VB goes and changes the code on me in 2.2.0:rolleyes:

MrLister

11-01-2001 02:05 AM

i don't quite understand..... the code already does make it on or off.

if user is unregistered all are on

if user is registered and last visited 2 days ago it will light up all the ones after those 2 days and light off for all before that.

Christy

11-01-2001 02:12 AM

Nope, it stays off even if your logged out

heres my questions from earlier

Ok, this is the main part i needed

Code:



// do light bulb 

if ($bbuserinfo['lastvisitdate']=='Never') { 

$forum['onoff']='on'; 

} else { 

if ($bbuserinfo['lastvisit']<$forum['lastpost']) { 

$forum['onoff']='on'; 

} else { 

$forum['onoff']='off'; 

} 

}

Now wouldnt this be something else like thread instead of forum, since i want to see if the thread has been updated, not the forum

Code:

$forum['lastpost'])

Also shoudnt

Code:

$bbuserinfo

i understand what you're talking about but it's a beginner mistake. $forum is not an actual forum, it's a array (name for a query).

also

Quote:

Also shoudnt

Code:

$bbuserinfo

$bbuserinfo is defined in global.php and can be used in any file. $bbuserinfo stands for your own info.. so if you put down $bbuserinfo[userid] it will show your userid or $bbuserinfo[username] is your username and $bbuserinfo[posts] is the amount of polls you have. basicaly you can do $bbuserinfo[something] anywhere and that "something" is any column from the user table.

I hope this helps you out a bit.

Christy

11-01-2001 02:51 AM

Ok, that helps me alot, I tested it by doing

Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['username']=='Lt.Christy') { 

$forum['onoff']='on';

and it worked, the images where the on.,gif

so now ain thing is, what do i use to have it check latest thread instead of

Code:

$forum['lastpost'])

MrLister

11-01-2001 03:47 AM

go find a query that uses forums and then check your results

Christy

11-01-2001 03:53 AM

Wouldnt this work

Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['lastvisit'] < $fd) { 

$forum['onoff']='on'; 

} else { 

$forum['onoff']='off'; 

}

Because of this

Code:

$fd = date($fdt,$threads[lastpost]);

it doesnt seem to work, does it not work how i have it?

MrLister

11-01-2001 04:11 AM

i'm really sleepy... here i'll tell you what... tomorrow i'll rewrite the whole thing into a neater script using arrays and simplify it down and get it to work.

Christy

11-01-2001 04:14 AM

Wow, really appreciate it..my bedtime too

thanks again!

Christy

11-02-2001 10:01 PM

Hey Lister, come up with anything?

Christy

11-04-2001 02:14 AM

Welp, I finaly did i tonight, here is end code I added

Code:

        if (($threads['forumid'] == "6" || $threads['forumid'] == "9") && ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] <= "4")) {

        echo("<img src=\"$urlimg/off.gif\">&nbsp&nbsp-Private-</nobr></td>\n");



} else {



if ($bbuserinfo['lastvisit'] < $threads['lastpost']) {

        echo("<img src=\"$urlimg/on.gif\">&nbsp&nbsp<a href=\"$url/showthread.php?threadid=$threads[threadid]&goto=newpost\" style=\"color: $lc;\" title=\"$threads[title]\">$title</a></nobr></td>\n");

} else { 

        echo("<img src=\"$urlimg/off.gif\">&nbsp&nbsp<a href=\"$url/showthread.php?threadid=$threads[threadid]&goto=newpost\" style=\"color: $lc;\" title=\"$threads[title]\">$title</a></nobr></td>\n");
