Unread Post Count 1.2.0

[Chris D]

That is correct

Did you have performance issues before? Are these relieved now?

 

[IcEWoLF]

I haven't noticed any issues on my boards, but I only have 77k posts.

This addon may need to be updated to be used with 1.2 since the phrase is changed

 

[Code Monkey]

I'm sure Chris will update it when 1.2 is actually released.

HI Chris, I notice on your xenmedia site, you have the unread post count displaying with xf1.2.

Has it worked since the update, or have you tweaked it on your site ?

 

[Chris D]

Well, my code targets the phrase whats_new which appears to still be in XenForo 1.2.

So actually I think it's just a simple case of changing the phrase whats_new to have the text of New Posts and it works.

Thank you Chris, but don't work on XenFor 1.2.0 RC1, nothing appears

Thank you Chris, but don't work on XenFor 1.2.0 RC1, nothing appears

Actually it does on RC1... on all 3 of my forums I have.

I do not understand why it does not work for me, I checked the files are present and I reimport the xml and still nothing.

A idea Chris ?

 

[Chris D]

No idea.

Probably style related.

No idea.

Tested on original style (1.2.0 RC1) and same problem nothing display.

 

[TPerry]

Are you using a language other than English? @Chris Deeming could using a different language cause this?

 

[Chris D]

It targets the phrase whats_new so you will need to ensure that still exists.

My install still has the phrase whats_new.

You may need to update that whats_new phrase to read the same as new_posts

In /library/UnreadPostCount/Listener.php check the section

                        $unread = XenForo_Model::create('UnreadPostCount_Model_Unread')->getUnreadPostCount($userId, $nodeIds);

                        $whatsNewPhrase = new XenForo_Phrase('whats_new');
                        $whatsNewPhraseQuoted = preg_quote($whatsNewPhrase->__toString());

and try changing the segment XenForo_Phrase('whats_new') where the whats_new reflects the phrase in the language you selected (if the base ACP phrases are in another language - if in English it probably won't do any good).

 

[Chris D]

That's not what you need to do at all.

Just do as I said.

Make sure the contents of the whats_new phrase match the contents of the new_posts phrase.

                        $whatsNewPhrase = new XenForo_Phrase('whats_new');

It's work now ! thank you Tracy

Must replace :

$unread = XenForo_Model::create('UnreadPostCount_Model_Unread')->getUnreadPostCount($userId, $nodeIds);

                        $whatsNewPhrase = new XenForo_Phrase('whats_new');
                        $whatsNewPhraseQuoted = preg_quote($whatsNewPhrase->__toString());

By:

$unread = XenForo_Model::create('UnreadPostCount_Model_Unread')->getUnreadPostCount($userId, $nodeIds);

                        $whatsNewPhrase = new XenForo_Phrase('new_posts');
                        $whatsNewPhraseQuoted = preg_quote($whatsNewPhrase->__toString());

(Short) Replace Phrase -> whats_new by new_posts

In that case, you do not need to edit the Listener.php since you can go into the ACP -> Appearance -> Phrases and do the below

Otherwise when you update, your edit will be over-written.

That's what I said to do in the first place.

Yeah, but apparently it's not working for him, so I'm wondering if the whats_new title is actually set as new_posts instead of the default, which I think with his change taking in the listener.php may be what the problem is.

 

[Allan]

The expression whats_new is not used in the original style (template) now (tested on 1.2.0 RC1).

I think it will be removed in futures versions.
