Version: 1.0.0 Beta, by Andreas Andreas is offline

Category: Miscellaneous Hacks - Version: 4.1.0 Rating:
Released: 10-24-2010 Last Update: 12-25-2010 Installs: 103
Additional Files Is in Beta Stage  
No support by the author.

This Add-on changes the behaviour of the What's New tab to include new content from all available configured content types (Blogs Entries, Articles, Social Group Messages, etc.) instead of only new forum posts.

As an added bonus, it also does also show an indicator for content that was not updated since your last visit but is still unread.

Attention
This Add-on is kinda resource intensive, you might not want to use it on a large/busy forum!

History
1.0.0 Beta 3
Removed useless code and navbar link "New Content".

To my knowledge, those settings were turned on (when I had this enabled)

My forum users now report that they see that "nothig new" message, when there are unread messages, you're right, something's wrong. Though even when I mark everyting as read, I can see unread blog entries with this mod, as admin, never get the "nothing new" message. Maybe a permissions issue? Couldn't find settings on that.

Is there a simple way for me to get rid of the What's New? tab altogether?

Thanks for any feedback ....

Regards,
Doug

Un-installed

Was a good idea, but does not seem to be fully working.

Also I'm optimizing my community for a quicker load.

It used to work and in the last couple of days mine started behaving that way as well.
I can see the new posts if I click on the 'New Posts' in the subnavbar area after clicking on What's New, but What's New is not providing any results.

Great mod have it installed. Just one small thing when it shows a members birthday it will just show the members name at the top of the list. It could be a bit confusing as it does not indicate what that members name is listed for, maybe a heading "Today's Birthdays" or something

I can not belive that vBulletin still only shows forum posts in whats new. Maby they forgot that they also impleamented blogs, cms, groups and visitormessages...

Anyway thanks for creating this, its better to have the increased server load that having a community experience that feels broken and imcomplete.
