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

<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

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

CREATE NEW PHRASE CALLED navbar_sincelastvisit
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONTENT:

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

THE HACK IS NOW INSTALLED, ENJOY!

I would only use it with new posts AND new threads. Then it wouldn't work right.

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but both those phrases would do the exact same thing only move things around

And to Reverend, I can't really see how either way would be "gramatically correct"

My mistake

Err.. Am I just stupid or something, but what does it mean by 'Phrase'? Is it a query that has to be run or a new template? o_o

Admin CP -> Languages & Phrases -> Phrase Manager

Thanks, I should have noticed that myself >_>;;

Text has come up, but the number of threads and posts ain't there - Is there something that has to be added for RC2?

Nope these instructions are for vB 3 RC 2, you probably missed a step.

Just call it "home_sincelastvisit"
"There have been {1} threads and {2} posts since your last visit!"

Then use this in navbar:

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