Anyone who installed the 2.0.3 version of this try these instructions on 2.2 yet?

Does this work on 2.2? I believe in the title it says it does but has anyone tried it?

I haven't upgraded my 2.0.3 version to 2.2 yet. I weighed the new features with what I currently had including hacks (including ethank's previous Mark Forum Read hack) and decided that there wasn't enough in the new version to warrant my upgrading.
With some time and experience using vB boards at version 2.2, I am convinced that the cookie implementation of Mark Forum read that they have included is not the least bit reliable. I have several times come back to a 2.2 vB board and found that what I had previously marked as read, is no longer displayed as read, but as new. I have also seen instances where forums I had not marked as read had suddenly become so. Currently, I am very pleased with ethank's previous hack for 2.0.3, with a small adjustment that I made to it to send users back to the index after using a Mark forum Read link. I have downloaded a copy of this hack, but have not installed it due to my satisfaction with how 2.0.3 is working for me. I reviewed this hack, and liked the way that child forums could be marked as well, but the icon implementation of it seems like it may be a little complicated and confusing for my varying in age members who are most familiar with using ezboard style bulletin boards. If the day does come that I decide to upgrade my forums to 2.2, I will in fact install this hack, because of my own issues with the unreliability of the cookie version of ?Mark Forum Read?, and the reliability I have found in ethank?s database version. I just wanted to add my two cents and support for what ethank has provided vBulletin users. |

Hack looks great and I would love to see something like this, but it's way to long to install to not know if it works. I wish I had a fresh install so I could help out, as this again is a great hack. If anyone has any luck or can help with an auto install that would be great... goodluck

I was just about to post a request to get this hack moving. How's the install going and how do you like the results?

The install was mostly OK, aside from the one issue I just mentioned, and a few instances of not being able to find things because of the equals-sign usage... what I mean by that is sometimes, original code is in the format "x=y" and the hack instructions might say to look for "x = y", or the other way around. Those spaces mean what you're searching for and what's actually there won't match, so it makes it a bit more difficult to find what you need.
As for if the hack actually works or not, that remains to be seen. First, I can't really test it at all right now, as this is a very slow time of day for my board, and there aren't a good amount of new posts to mark as read. The board itself still works, and that is always a good sign. I suspect this hack will work OK; I installed ethank's earlier version, and it worked OK, too, although there was some anomalous behavior noted by some people. But the 2.2.0 upgrade was due out soon then, and I knew that similar functionality was built in, so I didn't bother to troubleshoot it at the time. But we'll see what happens now. I would suggest to go ahead and install it. Make sure you make a backup copy of your database first, as well as have backup copies of all files you need to modify. If you have installed any other hacks at all, make sure you actually have current backup copies of your files, and don't rely on the originals, as they will not have any hacks applied to them. |
