New Reputation comments & Posts since last visit.

This modification is no longer available or supported.

A simple little mod - 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. See the screenshot.

Okay, for all those out there who haven't done the search yet, to add a global variable to vBa CMPS:

AdminCP -> vBa CMPS -> Default Settings -> Main Options -> Portal Output Global Variables

Add the variable without the leading $ to that box.

Thanks Paul.

I seem to have a bug. The "New Posts" count keeps going up and up, and as users read threads/posts, it never goes down.

Suggestions?

It is not an indicator of posts read. It is the number of new posts since their "last visited" date. It won't change unless this changes (i.e. they log out, mark all forums read, or timeout).

Ahh. Okay.

will it work with the latest version?

This is great, I only use the new reputation and it really is a good feature, on one site I noticed that when new reputation is received, as well as the new reputation received in the welcome box there is a green square as well, is this possible with your hack?

[Mark.B]

Yes.

[nicker]

so, are you going to tell us how?

[Mark.B]

Yes, as long as you're actually running 3.0.X.

[nicker]

I am running 3.6.4, will it work with this?
