XF 1.3 Duplicate a Conversation Unread Count

[bloh]

I tried to duplicate a Conversation Unread Count at the userbar.

I use this code:

<strong class="itemCount {xen:if {$visitor.conversations_unread}, 'alert'}">
    <span class="Total">
        {xen:number $visitor.conversations_unread}
    </span>
    <span class="arrow"></span>
</strong>

When I press mark as unread for a conversation, the original inbox showed 1 unread count.
But for my user bar, it still show 0. In other words, it didn't update Live.

Any idea?

The data (params) must be available in the template.

It will more than likely require an add-on to fetch the data and make it available in the navigation template.

They are, it isn't updating automatically.

You would require some extra (custom) JavaScript to change your custom count on Ajax load.

Never learn JS before.

Did a quick & dirty solution.

I sacrifice "VisitorExtraMenu_ConversationsCounter" to make the new counter at user bar work.
