Mark Thread as Read

SK Mark Thread as Read - v1.1.0 - 2011-11-21

Allow users to mark a thread as read without actually viewing the thread.

A 'Mark as Read' link will appear when hovering a thread (in the same manner as the page navigation links) on the forum list, watched threads, unread threads and the recent threads pages.

Click the link and the thread will be marked as read without you needing to open it.

Those with permission to do inline moderation can as an alternative select threads and choose 'Mark Threads as Read' using the inline moderation pop-up.

Tested on XenForo 1.0.3, 1.0.4 and 1.1.0 RC1

Installation includes 3 steps. Copy files, install add-on and edit 2 templates.
See intructions in the zip package.



Updated 2011-11-21 - Version 1.1.0 added.
v1.1.0 is updated for XenForo 1.1.x. No other changes are made.

Old version is kept for those still running v1.0.x. Please check which version you download!

This is a nice add-on mate

Too bad about the 2 template edits though
If I were you I'd request some template hooks there

Yeah, it would've been nicer without them...

I know there is some template hooks request thread somewhere but I haven't bother to look it up yet.

That one sticky thread in the Small Suggestions forums

I was hoping to mark threads "Read" with a simple "Hover and Click".
One idea was here:

Other idea: "24 hour ignore" for a thread.
Note: Xenforo 1.1 will have ignore features.

Thanks for making this one babe - now you just need a "Mark as Unread"

But that's how it works. Hover the thread and a 'Mark as Read' link appears.
It works and looks like the page links that appears when you hover a thread. See the first screencap.

The inline moderation option is just there as an alternative 'cause I know some people liked that on my old vBulletin version of this add-on.

You're welcome
Not 100% sure but I think it would be fairly easy to also do an unread function.
Would probably only do that as an inline moderation function though. Don't think I want more hover links to appear.

Ooops. Sorry. I missed the change in the first post.

Doesn't seem to actually mark threads as read anymore on 1.1 RC1. Any plans to update this?

Of course I will update.
First post is updated with a new version that should work with XenForo 1.1.x
