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.

Thanks for the response, Paul. Now I just have to figure out how to do this.

There is a support forum for it in the premuim section, that's probably the best place to ask. I don't run that arcade so I can't really say.

Yeah, I know.

so where do I change the code in the plugin and navbar to show only a counter next to New Posts?

Thanks a lot

CPMS problem.

ON the link for new posts under CPMS it doesnt have correct link.

CPMS home page looks like this

http://www.mysite.com/search.php?do=getnew

Under my forums its correct

http://www.mysite.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew

So if people click on new posts on welcome bar from CPMS main page get a 404 error.

Sorry, I don't support CMPS, I would suggest you ask in thier forums.

In /arcade/functions/functions.php.

Find:

  function do_output($output_array)

In the list of functions that follows:

global $header, $vbphrase, $vboptions,

Almost at the end of the long line, immediately before the semicolon ( add:

, $rcount, $pcount

That should work.

Hmmm. I run vBAdvanced and it worked ok on there so this has me a bit baffled.

A rather dirty workaround might be to edit the plugin code. Find this line:

$pcount = "<a href='search.php?do=getnew'><b>" . $pcount . "</b></a> ".$vbphrase['since_last_visit'];
}

and actually hard code the full URL in like this:

$pcount = "<a href='http://www.allbuffs.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew'><b>" . $pcount . "</b></a> ".$vbphrase['since_last_visit'];
}

I don't know if that will work as I haven't tried it. Make a text copy of the original plugin code first so you can easily restore it without reinstalling.

I am sure there is a cleaner fix than this though. I think yours fails because your portal is actually at your root domain whereas mine simply redirects from the root domain to /forum/cmps_index.php.
