Miscellaneous Hacks - Unread Posts and Reputation Comments (welcome box)

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.

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

Versions 1.22+ also display 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.

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

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

No idea, but i would guess that another modification is interfering with this one.

Hi PaulM,

I have a slight issue, and hopefully I can properly describe in a way that will allow you to reproduce it (if possible).

I've been using your script for some time now, and all has been functioning great. Well, I decide one day to enable the Reputations function, and again, all seemed fine except for one unique situation.

- When displaying the forum index, all is fine and works as it should
- When displaying the VBAdvanced CMPS page, the "New Reputations Comments Link" will not, for example, point to www.vbulletin.com/forum/usercp.php? , but rather points to www.vbulletin.com/usercp.php?

I've reads all of the comments in this thread but I couldn't find a solution to my issue.

These are the actions I've taken to in an attempt to fix the problem:
- All dup_ phrases are set to "default"
- Latest version of your script is "installed"
- Ensure the "usercp.php" has been added to the "Navbar Replacements" in the CMPS VBAdvanced Global Options
- The "Links Prefix Path" has been added in the ACP and set to "/forum/"

Like I say, all the other links point to the correct "/forum/" path, except for the "New Reputations Comments Link". Any help would be appreciated.

You need to set the "Links Prefix Path" option provided in this mods options.

As I stated above, I already set the "Links Prefix Path" Option, and it still does not point to the correct path.

Then you have either set it wrong, or customised your phrases sometime in the past, in which case you need to revert them.

Let us know the new variable to do that, please. The $unread isn't working anymore in vBa CMPS.

[frosch68]
