Miscellaneous Hacks - Display Unread Posts

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This displays the actual number of posts that are still considered unread by you (and will show up in a 'getnew' search).

There is also an option to put back the members last visit date, which was removed in vb4. There is the choice to count the unread posts since your last visit, or all posts considered unread. This setting reflects where the divider in the 'getnew' search display used to be (apparently its no longer displayed).

There is also the option to disable the unread posts display or the new reputation comments display. New Reputation Comments are shown in the Notifications section.

This modifications settings are located in vBulletin Options > Display Unread Posts[/COLOR].

The unread posts functionality requires that database thread marking is active.
Please be aware that installing this will enable that system (with automatic forum marking).
Forum marking choices are located in vBulletin Options > General Settings > Thread/Forum Read Marking Type

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

vBulletin 4 does not do that.

Hi

What ever i do i have this o the table.

If the language is in English , there is no problem. When i turn this to greek it looks like on the picture.

How can i correct this. Iam using 4.0.8

[Paul M]

You appear to have old customised greek phrases which need to be deleted and re-translated.

Exeellent , corrected , Thanks Paul

LOL, this one survived 4.0.8, unlike many.

Paul, this works great!

One issue with another mod that I was wondering if you could help with.

The Selective Forum Filter mod, which is obviously shown as only a 3.8 version.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=215001

There is a xml file to get it to work w/4.1
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....6&postcount=88

One of the steps in that is to edit each search.php and add an exclude parm to the url. Works great for the base VB stuff but not with your mod.

Someone did post they got theirs working:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....0&postcount=91

But, doesn't look like it is working, you use a phrase within the plug in and I'm not sure how to modify that to work correctly.

I know that isn't your mod and possibly not the solution you'd provide but can you shed light on how the phrase/plug in should be changed to get yours to work?

If you don't feel like spending time on this I understand.
Thanks

As the description says ;

This version does not currently support forums excluded if you have the "Get New/Get Daily Opt Out Modification" (by Andreas) or the "Selective Forum Filter Modification" (by Psionic Vision) - as no vb4 versions of these modifications currently exist.

Granted thats a year old now, and I havent checked if vb4 versions now exist. If they do, I'll look at adding the support back in (sometime in early 2011). Until then try what Trek posted, it looks reasonable, but i havenet actually checked it will work.

Thank you sir, Trek's mod looks good but doesn't address the phrases so that's the only part that doesn't work and the part that is displayed on the screen.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Phrases ? Not really sure what you mean.
