New posts and reputation comments. · **Released**: 08-13-2006

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.

Notes:

If upgrading from the 3.5 version then you will need to re-do the template changes.
Versions 3.21+ do not require any manual template changes. See Post #167

Paul can this be used with the Count of unread posts in the welcome box you have as well? I have that one installed and would like this as well.

I will try it out! Thanks Paul.

Well apart from the fact it seems a bit odd to run both as they do similar things, there is no technical reason I can think of that you cannot.

Works great.

fyi: "display reputation" has to be enabled for members who want to view the "new reputation comments" in the userinfo box.

took me a while to figure out

GoNz00 · #17 08-16-2006, 09:35 AM

so if my boards rep system is turned off it will only show the new posts?

i like the way yours is laid out compared to the other version on here that says Number Of Unread Posts: 0

GoNz00 · #18 08-16-2006, 11:21 AM

dont work for me or my members, other hack works fine & i have reinstalled it, but your shows unread posts even when they have been read ?

Paul M · #19 08-16-2006, 05:01 PM

Correct, this is new posts, not unead posts.

Unread posts is a different mod, this was it's predecessor (from vb's 3.0 days) but is still used by many people.

Someone just asked what happened to this. Thanks for the 3.6 update.

When trying to access the new posts link from another directory (ie. /gallery/) the link is prefixed with /gallery/. I tried to edit the profile to set the complete link (worked on 3.5) but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?
