Miscellaneous Hacks - Cyb - Advanced 'New Posts' (AJAX)

Info:
This hack will show how many new posts/threads have been posted in forums since 'last visit' time. "New Posts" in navbar menu will be replaced with "New Posts: x (In y Threads)" which is updated via AJAX - no page refresh. User can manually check for new posts, or you can enable auto-check which is executed in defined time interval. Optionally you can enable and configure Smart Search Menu to give users ability to search only selected forum sections. See screenshots...

I added a plugin at the search_start hook to exclude showing the RSS forums and that works fine.

$_REQUEST['exclude'] .= ',xx,xx,xx'; 


All I need now is for the search result to exclude those forums form the post and thread count.

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks...

I too would like to know how to do this, I cant seem to get it..

i follow right instruction for install hacks at navbar in instruction like in this option at vBadvanced 3.2.1 CP say :

Portal Output Global Variables

and this is its description content

If you have other hacks installed (especially to hacks located within the vBulletin navbar), it may be necessary to globalize some of the variables used in those hacks for the CMPS. You may enter a list of variables to globalize here. It is NOT necessary to add the $ mark before the variable name. Separate each variable with a carriage return (new line).

and i put for your hack : cybpoststhreadscounter to enable this mod at my navbar and doesn't work too

only appear at the navbar : New Posts: Checking... without any counters numbers or any link

also i chose and enable SSM ... its work perfectly at the forum and don't work at vBadvanced

please help me i need it work so much at my vBadvanced CMPS pages

and thanks for your help

Please i need help...

I'm getting security token errors right and left since installing this mod. I have tried all typical fixes for security token errors but continue to get them with this mod. Any help?

[michael5472]

Any chance of this not pulling in the information from my RSS Sections ?

Basically if a person makes a post then it shows new posts but if my RSS feed posts it doesnt ?

Thanks,

Mike

Is it possible to make it work on "header" template? not on navbar... because i don't use navbar for navigation on my template
