PLEASE CLICK ON THE INSTALL BUTTON IF YOU INSTALLED THIS! THANKS!

What does this hack do?

This hack basically shows the number of new threads and posts since your last visit, in the navbar (under your nick.) Check out the attached screenshot for more information

Installation
This is a pretty simple hack to install.
Instructions are as follows:

FILE MODIFICATIONS
global.php

TEMPLATE MODIFICATIONS
navbar

PHRASES
navbar_sincelastvisit

OPEN global.php AND FIND

PHP Code:


			
    echo "End call of global.php:  $aftertime\n"; 

    echo "\n<hr />\n\n"; 

}

(NOTE: If you want old threads with new posts to count as a new thread, then skip this next step)
UNDER IT, ADD

PHP Code:


			
# SINCE YOUR LAST VISIT 

$getnewthread=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread WHERE lastpost > '".$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']."'"); 

$getnewpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post WHERE dateline > '".$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']."'");

(NOTE: If you did the step above, then skip this next step)

UNDER IT, ADD

PHP Code:


			
# SINCE YOUR LAST VISIT 

$getnewthread=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread WHERE dateline > '".$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']."'"); 

$getnewpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post WHERE dateline > '".$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']."'");

OPEN UP THE navbar TEMPLATE AND FIND

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

UNDER IT, ADD

HTML Code:

<br /><phrase 1="$getnewthread[threads]" 2="$getnewpost[posts]" />$vbphrase[navbar_sincelastvisit]</phrase>

CREATE NEW PHRASE CALLED navbar_sincelastvisit
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONTENT:

Code:

There have been {1} threads and {2} posts since your last visit!

THE HACK IS NOW INSTALLED, ENJOY!

It worked fine on RC3 for me as well, not RC4...

Strange, I'll wait until someone else can confirm this before looking into it

ogden2k · #**109** 02-08-2004, 07:29 PM

You can't try it your self...?

Well I was hoping someone could respond within a few minutes

Anyways, installed RC4, and works fine for me

so do i upgrade to RC4 and RE-install the hack or should it already be on there?

You have to re-install it when you upgrade.

Gary King · #**113** 02-10-2004, 11:16 AM

Well you shouldn't have to re-install unless you upgrade 'properly' (by NOT replacing all files) but if you did, try re-installing and hopefully it'll work

DCX · #**114** 02-11-2004, 03:51 AM

yeah, when i upgraded... i saw "There have been threads and posts since your last visit" was there but there was no numbers....

i basically was goin in like i was gonna install them again but everything was in place... even the navbar template and the phrases i added. all i did was double check everything and it was working fine again.

Logikos · #**115** 02-12-2004, 10:01 PM

/me clicks install

Logikos · #**116** 02-13-2004, 07:01 PM

Don't like the fact that the permissions don't work, thought since it was vB3 it wouldn't be like the vB2 version where it does the same thing.

/me uninstalls

GREAT Hack. Wonderfull job.

Wifey · #**118** 03-15-2004, 11:59 PM

Installed and it's working perfectly. Thanks!

Cloudrunner · #**119** 03-28-2004, 11:22 PM

Is this working on Gold anyone know?

I cleanly redid everything on me site, and have been bugged about getting this one back, but don't wanna chance it til I have confirmation that it works on Gold.

Thanks
