Mini Mods - Subscribed Threads in Notifications

As seen on www.pentaxforums.com/forums/ , I'm bringing you a handy mod that adds the number of new subscribed threads to the notifications area, as well as a link to subscription.php. This means that whenever someone replies to one of your subscribed threads, you don't have to check your user cp or your e-mail inbox- just click on the notification! Notifications can also be reset via the User CP (memcached version only*).

This mod is provided free of charge, but I ask that the copyright and contact information be retained within the SOURCE. There are no visible copyrights for this mod. Furthermore, I ask that you do not re-use this code without my permission.

Non-Memcached Version:
Time to install: <1 minute (upload 1 product file)
Current Version: 1.1.0
Queries: 1 per pageload for logged in users
Templates: 0
New Phrases: 1
Compatibility: vB 3.7.x-4.x

Enjoy and don't forget to mark this as installed if you decide to use it! Limited support will be offered to those who click install.

Note to owners of large forums: I also offer a version of this mod that does not add any global queries and instead utilizes memcached. I can install this premium version on your site for an hourly charge, assuming your server already has memcached installed. Send me a PM for details.

Install memcached on your server (pecl install memcached via SSH), or use the non-memcached version of this hack.

Maybe a good idea do the same (fix the missing phrase bug) in the memcached version

Okay I went ahead and changed my thread/forum read marking type from cookie to database and installed the NOMEMCACHED product on my forum and it's working fine.

Only one issue. There aren't notifications for email subscriptions. I mean, members only get notifications of threads subscriptions made with the option "without email notification".

I've updated the phrase. Also, I'm pretty sure it'll work for all kinds of notifications, as they're all stored in the same database table.

Tried to install nonmemcached version:

Fatal error: Class 'Memcache' not found in /home/user/public_html/forum/global.php(400) : eval()'d code on line 255

@grey_goose: double check that you have downloaded the NOMEMCACHE.xml version.

@MoMan: unfortunately it appears that it isn't working for all kind of subscriptions. As I already said, this isn't displaying notifications for subscriptions made with email notification but with no email notification it's working fine. I'm talking about the NOMEMCACHE.xml version.

Thank you,
Jonathan

Any update regarding this matter? Thanks.

It does work for all types of threads- have a look at what the query does. It doesn't discriminate by subscription type.

[jscieza]

I'm not a programmer so I don't understand queries but I'll be more than happy if you can perform a quick review of the code of the NOMEMCACHED version to see if there is something wrong.

Thanks.

Something strange is happening.

I have some thread subscriptions and I'm getting the notifications without any problem (except for the one mentioned here) but after marking all forums read the notification is still present! Please take a look at these screenshots for further reference:

I remember it was working fine (without this issue) but now this strange behavior is driving me crazy

Any idea?
