How to install Unread Icons for vBulletin 5.0.1

If you wish to use the full icon overlay:
Step 1: Adding CSS
Add the following to css_additional.css

Code:

.z-unread-icon {
float: right;
margin-top: -45px;
position: relative;
right: 75px;
top: 52px;
z-index: 1;
}

Step 2: Adding Code
Find the following code in display_contenttype_conversationreply_threadview_T ext template

Code:

{vb:set postStatus, ''}

Right after this line, add on its own line

Code:

<vb:if condition="$user['lastvisit'] <= $conversation['created']"><div class="z-unread-icon"><img src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/.././images/custom/unread-whatchamajigger4.png" alt="New since your last visit" title="New since your last visit" /></div></vb:if>

If you wish to use the icon in the background of the post instead of the overlay

Step 1: Adding CSS
Add the following to css_additional.css

Code:

.z-unread-bg-icon {
background-image: url({vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/.././images/custom/unread-background-majigger.png);
background-position: top right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Step 2: Adding Code
Find the following in display_contenttype_conversationreply_threadview_T ext

Code:

<div class="list-item-body conversation-body">

Change it too

Code:

<div class="list-item-body conversation-body <vb:if condition="$user['lastvisit'] <= $conversation['created']">z-unread-bg-icon</vb:if>">

If you wish to use the ?Spartan? style

Step 1: Adding CSS
Add the following to css_additional.css

Code:

.z-unread-bg-spartan {
background-image: url({vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/.././images/custom/unread-spartan-majigger.png);
background-position: top right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Step 2: Adding the code
Find the following in display_contenttype_conversationreply_threadview_T ext

Code:

<div class="list-item-body conversation-body">

Change it too

Code:

<div class="list-item-body conversation-body <vb:if condition="$user['lastvisit'] <= $conversation['created']">z-unread-bg-spartan</vb:if>">

You need to also upload the icon you want to the images/custom folder

So will this be the solution for finding those unread posts/comments?

I hope to see it added back to the product. For the time being, this is how I'd take care of it.

Is there a hack for New Post Indicators ?

Zachery · #6 04-22-2013, 09:13 PM

Why would you need a hack?

Zachery · #7 05-12-2013, 03:05 PM

Made a small change so people on 5.0.1 will be able to use it.

Should this work in 5.0.3

Zachery · #9 07-19-2013, 05:35 PM

Should be fine, I'm working on a newer version of this, but this gets the basic across.

Crocodine · #10 11-08-2013, 12:13 PM

Couldn't make it work on 5.0.5.
