Miscellaneous Hacks - Display Unread Posts and New Reputation Comments

This modification is no longer available or supported.

Note: The unread posts portion of this hack only works if you use the database thread marking system, also, this attaches itself to certain phrases in the "welcome" box and will not work if they are not present (or are modified by other code).

FYI, the Forum Marking Choices are located in vBulletin Options ;
vBulletin Options > General Settings > Thread/Forum Read Marking Type

This displays the actual number of posts that are still considered unread by you (and will show up in a 'getnew' search). It also displays the number of new reputation comments since you last checked your usercp.

There is the option to count the unread posts since your last visit, or all posts considered unread. This setting reflects the divider in the 'getnew' search display. There is also the option to disable the unread posts display or the new reputation comments display.

There is also the option to display the New Reputation Comments counter as a Welcome Box Notification.

All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Display Unread Posts and Reputation.

Version 3.7.004 adds the following ;

A forum exclusion list - requested a number of times, an option is provided to exclude forums from the unread count & display.

A time limit on unread posts count - if a member has not visited for more than x days then a simple unread posts link will be displayed, not an actual count, this stops potential large sql queries if you have a busy forum. The option can be disabled.



To install this hack unzip the xml file and import it using the ACP Product Manager.

You need to right click on the page and view the source, that will show you the real error. TBH, it sounds like you need a new host.

Not Uninstall mysql error

[scdurwood]

the unread portion works great for me...

...the notification part not so much....

...what I get is a generic "Your notifications: ##" with a drop down arrow next to it...

...the drop down doesn't do anything on click and the link doesn't click over even though the status bar shows it pointing to the UserCP...

...is it supposed to differentiate between new PMs and rep points?

Hello,

I have vers. 3.7.005 into my vB 3.7.0 installs, it is shown to nothing in the navbar, though.
Of vB 3.6.7 ( here the old add On still worked after the update) on vB 3.7.0, the Template navbar still is not revised completely. Perhaps it is due to it?
Would be possible for me there to be the code for the unread Posts which displays these, you revise to the Template completely so that I can manually install it in the right place?

Sorry, unfortunately, English is not my language, therefore I translate this text by a tool.

Greetings Rottimom
