Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
China J Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I'm not for sure about anyone else, but this feature really does nothing for me as it stands. I would rather much see "Recently Added Replies" That way active topics are bumped in the list and I as a admin or member can see what's new, hot and active off the back and that would include new topics and replies. But just new topics alone is a stale feature imo. I mean you have no clue if it's an active topic or if it contains any replies. Kinda made you look for no reason joke right? Example: [*]Should we drop PM table before upgrading? by Rod. 41 minutes ago Says topic created 41 minutes ago. That's annoying to me as I would prefer to see the latest activity in that topic if I'm forced to view in list as I know there was 2 replies within the last 5 minutes in that topic but that info is not shown to me nor is the list updated with who last replied. Be nice to see the list update via ajax or a on/off setting for it in the acp so that you don't have to refresh the board on a active site to see what's new if any. Anyway, I mentioned this before at the test site so just thought I bring it back up again.
China J Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 I guess we can see a bug above :) Should read:Should we drop PM table before upgrading?by Rod.41 minutes ago
bfarber Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 It's a hook. Users can create and edit hooks at will. I think recent topics is more valuable to most busy sites (replies would simply mean the list wouldn't sit still long enough to view much of interest usually), but that's of course an opinion and I'm sure it's one that differs from many. That's the beauty in the hooks system. Your quote content doesn't seem to really be a bug - you have incomplete url tags (so they didn't parse), though I don't know how you submitted the content originally to compare.
China J Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Normally when I cut and paste a link from the forum index - The what you see is what you get normally works at least in 2.3.6 it does cause I just tried it. Goto the forum index and just copy the hyperlinked info on the right for latest reply. It's looks fine until you click submit.
China J Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 As for recent replies here is a super active site that uses something similar called forumpulse http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/zomg-gaia-s-mmo/f.259/ Click on the "Reopen Forum Pulse" link just the the NewTopic Button Icon in upper right of forum board.
Strike X Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 - show recent reply from your friends list - ability to comments your friends status.
bearback Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 recent replies are there any settings, acp options, like how many replies to show, member permissions, only certain forum replies show. update interval setting, enable or disable so it does not show. anyway to set all topics and replies read for all members on the board, when first upgrading ?
Jamer Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Yes how do we edit this hook to bump up the topics when a new reply is added?
bfarber Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Edit the order by clause of the SQL statement in the hook file (under hooks/ folder). Use the peer to peer forums if you need help doing so.
Jamer Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Another useful feature would be to allow these recent topics to bump the topic back to the top once a new reply has been made.I would also prefer to see this in a box across the top of the main forum index rather than on the sidebar
