What's New? (89 unread posts)

That's a neat idea!

 

[Cory Booth]

Couple of thoughts...
1. On mine it says 1 New Post, but then shows 2?
2. Anyway to make it go away when there are 0 unread posts? <-- Make make it more noticeable of it only shows when there is new posts.

A mockup of where I think is the best position for it:



And it won't affect page layout whether it's visible or not due to there being 0 posts.

I personally would have it on the lower half of the navigation bar next to What's New?

That would seem to be the most logical place for it as it is purely a forum related metric and not a top level menu.

This would be a perfect location imo..

I second that

I agree with this 100% (and did make the same suggestion earlier in the thread) but pauls mockup shows perfectly where this should sit imo.

Sorry, i had some problems with the package and then i've forgotten to upload the new version ...

Phew, thought I was going nuts ... cheers

I've integrated it in the navigation: "What's New? (X unread)" / "Was ist neu? (X ungelesen)"
Thanks, Andy.N and Brogan for your idea.
Danke, ragtek fürs AddOn.

Gruß, Albert.

How did you do this? Did you edit the navigation template, or did you find an other way?

 

[A.E.]

In the template "navigation" i've replaced the code:

<li><a href="{xen:link 'find-new/threads'}">{xen:phrase whats_new}</a></li>

to that code:

<li><a href="{xen:link 'find-new/threads'}">{xen:phrase whats_new}{$ragtekPostCounter}</a></li>

And i've changed the phrase "ragtek_unreadPost" to: " (1 unread)" and the phrase "ragtek_unreadPosts" to: " ({postcounter} unread)".

Isn't that correct? It works for me.

Regardless what the number of new posts is, this always shows "1 new post since last visit". Even if there are, let's say, 20 new posts since my last visit. For now I uninstalled it.

I've been waiting for this! This is a major modification I need for my forum.

Have you still this problem?

How can i reproduce this`*g*

 

[Ati]

Great add-on! Thanks for your hard work with all these goodies!

 

[Ati]

Hmm, this only shows "1" to me also, no matter how many unread messages I have. This is the only add-on I have installed, so interference with other add-ons should not be an issue.

 

[x4rl]

I Like it! Cheers man

 

[x4rl]

Bah think i killed it >< i edited the phase "1 New post since your last visit" now it only says 1 all the time even if there is more

Edit i reverted the phase and it still allway's seem to say 1 new post even when there is more

 

[TazDevilLooney]
