New Reputation Comments (and Posts) Since Your Last Visit.
 

The 3.5 port of this simple hack;

This displays the number of new posts since your last visit & the number of new reputation comments since you last checked your usercp - both are displayed in the welcome panel - either can be turned off by de-activating the relevant plugin.


History:

v3.01 : Initial vb3.5 release.
v3.02 : Updated install code.
v3.03 : Minor changes, no update necessary.

Woohoo!

Why thank you. :)

This is a great addition!

Screenshot is not enlargeable?

Doh ! - Fixed - it's copied from the 3.0.7 thread, but I uploaded the thumbnail instead of the full picture ..... :dunce:

Nice hack, I just installed it :)

will give it a go, sounds like a great navbar addition

can not see it at Navbar

Huh ?

i cant find that code that needs to be replaces in the navbar template in 3.5 RC3, can you help point me to where to add it so it will work? thanks!

Hmm, yes, they have changed $session[sessionurl] to $session[sessionurl_q] in it. Instructions updated.

i still cant find that code in the navbar.

I suggest you PM me a copy of your navbar template then.

Thanks :D

/me installs

3.5 Gold:

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1146
error desc: Table 'xxxxxxxx_co_uk_-_forum.post' doesn't exist

Hm.....

I would guess you use a table prefix, you will need to add that to the table names in the query(s). It's a minor irritation that will cease to be a problem when I convert this to a "product".

Quite right, should have thought of that. Thank you. This line:

ALTER TABLE user ADD lastrepcheck INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL ;

is pulling an error about syntax, presumably it's an SQL version thing. I'm running 4.0.20. I won't bother you for help again, that's just an FYI for future releases should you need it.

I can't see anything wrong with that for any version of mySQL.

Does this hack add an extra query on forumhome or other places?

Naturally - it would be impossible otherwise.

Am kinda a newbie so I dont understand Step 1 in the installation.
Where do you go and what do you do ?
some help please!

. o O (I really must upgrade this .....)

My suggestion is to wait a few days until I change this from a plugin to a product, the database steps will then be performed automatically. :)

This displays on my forum pages, but not on my vbAdvanced page(s). It runs the same code block in navbar. Ideas?

This has now been converted to a Product.

Sorry, I don't know anything about vbAdvanced.

there is some error it gives me db error when I have installed the plugin :(

Well some clue as to what might help ......

I installed and performed the required template edit and I don't see anything.

Have you edited all your custom navbar templates ? Is your plugin system active ?

Anyway to get this to show on vBadvanced CMPS? :ermm:

Roxie is a hottie.

Oh and nice hack paulM...

Hm. Product installation went fine but the Unread posts total only goes up. It never goes down when you've read any of the new posts. Could this be something to do with the fact that I installed the plugin version, removed it and then installed the product?

This hack does not display unread posts, it is a count of new posts, it won't go down when you read them. You are, perhaps, confusing it with my unread posts hack ?

No, I was just phrasing it badly. I mean that I arrive, view the posts, leave again, come back and it still says the same number of posts are unread. The total goes up with each new post, but neither reading them nor leaving makes the total go down. Just keeps going up.

I've just worked out what it is anyway. If you have 'Remember Me' checked then it doesn't count you as having visited/revisited until you log out and log back in again.

Correct, that's default vb behaviour. You can also clear it by clicking on the "Mark Forums Read" in Quicklinks.

Paul M any way to get this to work with vBadvanced CMPS v2.0

I'm sure someone can. I would try their support forums. I don't use cmps.

Is there a way to exclude ceratin forums from showing up in the post count for this?

Not without re-writing the SQL, why do you want to exclude some forums ?
