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.

I've installed this and the repuation portion doesn't seem to work. Even if I have new rep comments, it still says I don't have any.

Any reason this might be?

I was wondering..anyway to modify this hack so it ONLY notify's when a new rep comment is given? I don't necessarily need the "new posts" and PM features.

However, if you install both, you can turn off the new posts display in this mod, so just the new reputation is displayed, and the other mod will display the unread posts.

OK..where is this mod listed in admin cp? Under what title?

Please read the main post ;

* Either can be now turned off with a setting in vbulletin options > general settings.

Hi, the mod works great for me, but there seems to be a blank line in my personal info area, please see attached pic. How would I edit out the blank space and tighten things up ? Thank you !

I would guess you have a stray '<br />' in there somewhere.

I'll give a look see, thanks !

I didn't find anything out of line, see code :

<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
		<div class="smallfont">
		<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />
<if condition="$show[pcount]">$bbuserinfo[pcount]<br /></if>
			<phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>
			<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>	
		<br />$rcount
			<if condition="$show['pmwarning']"><br /><strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>
<if condition="$show[rcount]"><br />$bbuserinfo[rcount]</if>
		</div>
		</td>

did I make an error somewhere ? I was pretty careful with my editing.
