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.

*bump*
??
I really would like to get this working.... can anyone help me?
(see www.glcoti.com welcome box, test account: testert, passw:123test)

[edit]
I take it the reputation thing should be in here??

<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
		<div class="smallfont">
			<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />
			<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="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]<br />$usermoods
</phrase></if>
			<if condition="$show['pmwarning']"><br /><strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>
		</div>
		</td>

I might be overlooking it, but i dont see it.
What should i put in there??

The reputation message attaches itself to the private_messages_nav phrase. I would guess that the modification you are using to alter your Private Messages Display (to create the dropdown list) is breaking it.

[GuaRRand]

Could i get you crazy enough to check (and fix) it?
*puppyeyes...which will not work since i'm no blond big breasted girl*

[Paul M]

Sorry, I have no idea what the mod even is, and I dont have the free time anyway.

[GuaRRand]

See... if i had been that blind big breasted chic, you would be beside my desk right now! :P

[kingmotox]

nice i like it. great for moderating as well

[Thomas P]

Great hack, is there any way to influence the placement of the "new posts" line?

I'd prefer to have it after the PM line in the welcome box.

[kingmotox]

how about new threads as well

[Thomas P]

Got it, by changing the "New Posts and Reputation (1)" plugin.
