Unread Post Count 1.2.0

[netrix]

Did you try to edit the template like I tried it, this made it compatible with the IE, where I had problems before.

I went ahead and changed the margins, that fixed the issue.

@Chris Deeming, do you know by any chance how I can make this addon work with XenPorta?
I do believe What's New has been replaced with New Posts now. Unfortunately @Jaxel has not made any updates from his end.

Replace EWRporta_Navtabs template content with

<ul class="secondaryContent blockLinksList">
    <xen:if is="{$visitor.user_id}"><li><a href="{xen:link 'watched/threads'}">{xen:phrase watched_threads}</a></li></xen:if>
    <li><a href="{xen:link 'recent-activity'}">{xen:phrase recent_activity}</a></li>
    <li><a href="{xen:link 'find-new/posts'}" rel="nofollow">{xen:if $visitor.user_id, {xen:phrase new_posts}, {xen:phrase recent_posts}}<xen:include template="unread_posts_count" /></a></li>
    <xen:if is="{$perms.custom}">
        <li style="width: 50px; height: 10px;"></li>
        <li><a href="{xen:link 'portal/blocks'}">{xen:phrase customize_this_page}</a></li>
    </xen:if>
</ul>

Sweet, thanks Andy!
I tried to change the new_posts phase, but wasn't sure how to make unread post count work.
Really appreciate the help!

This is no rocket science stuff. I just need to hunt down where that phrase was used on EWR and modify it for my needs.

This used to work with xenPorta. Any chance for that to come back?

 

[aciurczak]

I've added this mod for users to ignore certain forums: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/ignore-new-posts-by-waindigo.139/

Is there any way to incorporate these two mods together? Now this unread posts count includes the forums that people have ignored and aren't showing up when they hit the new posts button.

 

[Rho Delta]

It isn't centered with my new posts link... http://fratdeals.net/

Where can I fix this? Also, can you change the color of the icon?

 

[jacko]

Is it possible to implement ajax auto refresh feature?

 

[Chris D]

It is possible but I probably won't be. It's quite a big job and I don't have any time for custom work at the moment.

I'm probably going to feel stupid when I get the answer to this, but aren't there supposed to be admincp options for this add-on? I've combed admincp from stem to stern and cannot find them. The add-on is working fine, btw. But from studying the XML, it looks like there is supposed to be a forum chooser and perhaps a few other options for this add-on but I'm unable to find them. Thanks!

 

[Chris D]

Nope. No Admin CP options at all.

I just checked the XML and there is indeed an admin template for picking a forum but during development we decided that it was superfluous.

Instead we just show the count from all public forums.

 

[bluemartian]

Thanks. Glad I'm not losing it.

Installing this now.

Not centered for my Spectrum style of @Ehren

 

[rdn]

For spectrum, here's my fix.

/* unread count fix */
#unreadPostsCount .itemCount{
margin: -22px -3px 0 4px;
}
.JsOnly .blockLinksList li #unreadPostsCount .itemCount{
margin: 0px!important;
}

@Chris Deeming - am I correct that this will show "new" posts since a members last login or visit?

Also - I don't have a what's new- can "unread posts" be added next to username- alerts area?

Thanks.

Yes, this add-on will show a count for new posts since a members last login/visit.

In Xenforo 1.2 "What's New?" was replaced by "New Posts". I can see you have this from your screenshot in your post here.

 

[tommydamic68]

So the red alert bubble will sit next to the "new post" link?
