New Posts on Forumtitle-Link
 

Hello Hackers!
This little Hack allows you to show "new Posts" directly on the Forumtitle of the Forumhome. So if you want you can remove your ON/OFF Icon (like i did). ;) Screenshot in the next Post (the black Forum is read "no new Posts", the green Forum is unread "new Posts").


Files to edit: 1 (index.php)
Templates to edit: 2 (forumhome_forumbit_level1_post, forumhome_forumbit_level1_post)
Templates to add: 0
Replacements to add: 1

Time to Install: max. 5 min

Note: If you want the same thing on your Forumdisplay,
do the same changes to the forumdisplay.php, and the forumdisplay_forumbit_level1_post
and forumdisplay_forumbit_level2_post-Templates.

Have fun and please klick, lick or kick Install

Screenshot: :)

I still don't follow. Can you do a bigger screenshot? ;)

@ Boofo, it marks unread forums on the forumtitle-Link. The black Forum is read (no new Posts), the green Forum is unread (new Posts).

Does it still do the link color on mouseover? ;)

I understand now...

Good idea.. I'll try it now..

Yes, on read Forums is the Linkcolor (and Hovercolor by Mouseover), and on unread Forums is the marking color. :)

nice idea, but alot of my members are new to VB so they may get confused,

I like it, Kriek, but the instructions for forumdisplay templates has got to be wrong. I am assuming the replacement is the same for forumhome as it is for forumdisplay?

Nice idea.
