Miscellaneous Hacks - New posts and reputation comments.

This modification is no longer available or supported.

The 3.6 port of this simple hack with some small changes.

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.

Changes ;

* Fixed bug of them not showing on error pages.
* Either can be now turned off with a setting in vBulletin Options > Display New Posts and Reputation.

Notes:

If upgrading from the 3.5 version then you will need to re-do the template changes.
Versions 3.21+ do not require any manual template changes. See Post #167

thanks....my members were requesting the rep comments be displayed so they didn't have to keep checking. Good mod!!

just what i was looking for

[mmmender]

Problem........

My welcome box already has a hack, it currently looks like this:

Welcome, mmmender.
223 Unread Posts since your last visit.
You last visited: Yesterday at 7:07 AM
Private Messages: Unread 9, Total 124.

I was unable to do step 2 of your instructions......

Step 2.

In the Navbar template ;

Find ;

<if condition="$show['pmwarning']"><br /><strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>

Add below ;

<if condition="$show[rcount]"><br />$bbuserinfo[rcount]</if>

Because where it tells me to find......

In the Navbar template ;

Find ;

<if condition="$show['pmwarning']"><br /><strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>

This part does not exist in my navbar template.

All I really want anyway is the display new rep comments to appear in the welcome box, I can live without the new posts part of the hack.

Can you provide any assistance please? This really is the hack I've been waiting for and would love to get it working!

Thanks in advance,

Leesa

(btw, running 3.6.5)

If that isn't there then you must have something similar. Without access to your template there really isn't much I can tell you.

How about I give you access to my admincp? Check your PM's for details.

I would really appreciate the help!

You are not using 3.6 templates, your navbar still seems to be a 3.5 version so you will need to look for the following ;

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

Installed this but gave it a bit of a diffrent wording. It now reads:

Welcome, Adam.
You last visited: Today at 10:00 AM
Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 129.
New Rep Comments: 2

I took out the new posts because I have that located somewhere else on the front page.

Great mod, thanks.
