On/Off Boutons on sub Forums

hello,

I made this request one week ago and nobody send me a response : Thread

So, I'm searching to made it myself...
But I do not understand how is it made ... How vbuelltin know if there is a new message and how he made to change on.gif by off.gif ? Is there a template for this ?

Thanks for your help

the code itself is in a PHP file, don't know right now, but when I get home, I'll look it up

here's a block of code that I found for you:

PHP Code:

        // do light bulb
        if ($bbuserinfo['lastvisitdate']=='Never') {
          $forum['onoff']='on';
        } else {
                                        if (isset($bbforumview[$forum['forumid']]) and $bbforumview[$forum['forumid']]>$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']) {
                                                $userlastvisit=$bbforumview[$forum['forumid']];
                                        } else {
                                                $userlastvisit=$bbuserinfo['lastvisit'];
                                        }
          if ($userlastvisit<$forum['lastpost']) {
            $forum['onoff']='on';
          } else {
            $forum['onoff']='off';
          }
        }

        if ((!$forumperms['canpostnew'] and $showlocks) or $forum['allowposting']==0) {
          $forum['onoff'].='lock';
        } 


that can be found in index.php of the main dir.

this one can also be found in the same file:

PHP Code:

  if ($newpm['messages']==0) {
    $lightbulb='off';
  } else {
    $lightbulb='on';
  } 


that's all I found for now, I'll look it up some more, but that should be it
