Double Click Forum Icons to Mark Forum As Read
by ExtraLicense​

vBulletin 4 might not have had so many useful features, but we found that Double Clicking the Forum Node Icons to Mark a Thread as Read was a really cool feature.

This is why we've took Vincent's old Template...

Great idea. I'm getting a server error with an install on xF 1.1.2. Maybe 1.2 is required?

yes, it requires 1.2 (because of the template edit)

Good to know that our install controller doesn't work with xf < 1.2

I gotta upgrade.

We have these custom icons for unread forums

How would I make this addon work with those?

AFAIK you shouldn't need to change anything.

Have you tried it?

Well i removed the node icon code and put a custom one there

So this code:

<div class="nodeStats pairsInline"  style="margin-right: -30px;margin-top: -25px;height: 40px;font-size: 18pt;color: #969696;font-weight: bold;text-shadow: 0 0 0 transparent, 0 -1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);float:right;">
            <div class="iconStats"><dl><dt><i class="icon-comment"></i></dt> <dd> <span class="Tooltip" title="{xen:phrase discussions}">{xen:if $forum.privateInfo, '&ndash;', {xen:number $forum.discussion_count}}</span>/<span class="Tooltip" title="{xen:phrase messages}">{xen:if $forum.privateInfo, '&ndash;', {xen:number $forum.message_count}}</span></dd></dl></div>

This applies, @Matthew Hawley:

This addon marks the forum read (via ajax) and removes the "unread" class from the node.
Is this enough information?

I don't know what you've done to change the nodeicon

I removed the node icon code and put this code in there instead.

<div class="nodeStats pairsInline"  style="margin-right: -30px;margin-top: -25px;height: 40px;font-size: 18pt;color: #969696;font-weight: bold;text-shadow: 0 0 0 transparent, 0 -1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);float:right;">

This won't work, sorry.

There is a template conflict with the Double Click Forum Icons to Mark Forum as Read addon
node_forum_level_2 add markread link
and Extra Node Information by Waindigo add-on
node_link_level_2 Adds icons to link forum nodes in node list.
=====
I post this in both add-on discussions.

Thank you, but one question: Atm, we are setting up a testforum. We have tweaked it, so the subforums are listed like they are in vB. Each subforum has its own tiny bubble-icon, which indicates, if the subforum contains unread messages.

What would have to be done, to make that addon even work for those subforums, marking them as read, when they are double-clicked?

In 1.4b3 I get this error when trying to import the addon (happened on two boards):

Please enter an ID using only a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and _ characters.

ExtraLicense updated Double Click Forum Icons to Mark Forum as Read with a new update entry:

Fixed Install Bug

Works great now on 1.4b3 Thank you!

Just downloaded the latest update. It should be 1.0.1 but the XML has version string 1.0.0 in it

Any idea how to make this work with FlatAwesome?

The support of @Russ is great, I'm sure easily he will give you a hand if you have a problem with some addon.

Same here, any idea how to make this work with UI.X?
I asked the developer, and got:

It would be up to the developer of that add-on to make it work with UI.X, there is no way we could make this compatible with the add-on unfortunately.
