What's New - Reloaded
 

This Add-on changes the behaviour of the What's New tab to include new content from all available configured content types (Blogs Entries, Articles, Social Group Messages, etc.) instead of only new forum posts.

As an added bonus, it also does also show an indicator for content that was not updated since your last visit but is still unread.

Attention
This Add-on is kinda resource intensive, you might not want to use it on a large/busy forum!

History
1.0.0 Beta 3
Removed useless code and navbar link "New Content".

Tagged! I was looking for this for a long time.

A good option would be the same functions but for today's posts instead of new posts.

(btw there is a typo on the description: bones)

This looks very promising, tagged for later.

Hi Andreas,

thanks for this mod, it's a big deal. But it seems the "New Content" link doesn't work correctly (using vB 4.0.6). I'm sure, I have a new thread in my board, but this search link shows the standard vB error message.

A problem which I have solved is that I have no What's New button. But I have installed the my_threads & my_posts mod, so I put the search link of the What's New button into this menu:

Attachment 123092

It's the first item in the menu. To do this, find in the "myposts_navbar_link"-template (make sure you have the "My Threads & My Posts" installed):

Add under it:
Change the phrase "Neue Inhalte" to whatever you like.

Again, thanks a lot.

Best regards

L.R.

tagged and thanks;

installed but appears not to be working in 4.0.8

Mod is working fine in 4.0.8 , but also confirm "new content" link does not work after this. Give you the standard message:

If you click this small link. Most users seem to click the larger tab (What's New), so this isn't really to much of a problem (right now).

That link shouldn't be there at all, it originates from the very first version of this Add-on when there was no What's New tab.
Will be removed in next release.

Glad I could be of some help & I look forward to the next release. :)

killed my forum when I installed, uninstalled then removed 'packages' via ftp

A bit more detailed information about your forum and how exactly it was "killed" would be useful ;)
