MisterPhilip Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 File Name: View Unread RepliesFile Submitter: MisterPhilipFile Submitted: 29 Jan 2011File Updated: 30 Jan 2011File Category: Hooks and Plugins The View Unread Replies hook simulates SMF's "Show new replies to your posts" feature. For those of you that haven't used that feature before, it is where when you make a post in a topic and there is a reply that you haven't read yet, it shows up on a list. This was one of the most requested features from the past few IPB installs I've done where the user came from SMF. It adds an item in the user's drop down menu and links to the page that pulls up the past X topics with new replies. This hasn't been tested on anything lower than 3.1.4, however I suspect it'll work on any 3.1.XClick here to download this file Link to comment
3DKiwi Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Awesome thanks for this. This is something IPB should have built in. Edit: Okay I have installed it and there is no new link in the dropdown. I have checked using the default skin as well. There are new posts in my forums in topics that I have replied to. Anyone else having the same problem? Edit 2: View new content is messed up as well. Clicking on any of the search results with VNC takes me to the first post not the first unread post. I have disabled the hook and it's back to how it should be. 3DKiwi Link to comment
SandraS Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I can't see a link either. I checked to see if there were any permissions that needed to be changed but there are no permissions for it. Link to comment
MisterPhilip Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks guys, I'll take a look into this in a few minutes. Link to comment
Shadow82x Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Woot! Thank you for taking up this mod request. It would be nice if the updated topic list was layed out and styled similarly to the current VNC though. Link to comment
MisterPhilip Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 I've found the issue with the skin template not showing up (was using a hook point for "liked content" which is on gallery/blog from what I now understand.) I've moved it to above the Manage Friends link. Is anybody else getting the same error 3DWiki was? I can't seem to replicate it, but am intrigued since the hook doesn't mess the current VNC. @Shadow82x - I was planning on doing this, I just need to look more into automating the columns (instead of hardcoding it.) A fresh file is up that should fix the hook location problem. Let me know if you find anything else. Link to comment
*Salvo* Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 MisterPhilip: it was the first thing that I've been missing since I moved from SMF. I'll wait it come better released, but thank you for the fantastic hook. Link to comment
3DKiwi Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks for the update. There is still no link in the dropdown. The problem with VNC is no longer apparent. 3DKiwi Link to comment
Shadow82x Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Looks like the links only get added to the default IP.Board theme and not custom themes. So you can always add the URL manually. Link to comment
MisterPhilip Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 It should get added to any skin, as long as it has the proper hook point. I did test it on my custom skin and it worked, so I'm not sure if you're missing the proper hook point in yours. If it doesn't you can add in the URL manually like Shadow82x suggested. (I will see if there is anything else I can do to get it to add in on other custom skins) This is currently what is used in the hook (under template -> skin_unread_replies -> hookUnreadRepliesMenuLink), so if you need to add it somewhere else by all means (note: you will need to make sure to have the lang files loaded, or hardcode the text in there)<if test="unreadRepliesLink:|:$this->settings['unread_replies_enable']"> <li id='user_unread' class='row1'><a href='{parse url="app=forums&module=unreadReplies§ion=view" base="public"}' title='{$this->lang->words['unread_hook_link']}'>{$this->lang->words['unread_hook_link']}</a></li> </if> I'll work on updating the design this afternoon :) Link to comment
3DKiwi Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I have tried all skins and don't see the link. Think I'll wait a day or two and see how others get on. 3DKiwi Link to comment
*Salvo* Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It works perfectly with the all skins. On my forum. Link to comment
Shadow82x Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'll work on updating the design this afternoon :) Good to hear =) Link to comment
MisterPhilip Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Uploaded new version... you can see the new design below: @3DWiki: I'm still unable to reproduce your error. A few things I think it might be: cached skin isn't cooperating, or you don't have the hook point. If you could be so kind to check to see under the templates: "Global Templates" -> "globalTemplate" search for "nobbyNoMates". If nothing comes up, there is our problem and I can export a special one that hooks in a different location for you. If it does come up, and it's not a cache issue... hmmm.. :blink: Still some to-do's (probably within the next week or two): Investigate IPB's marked read system better Allow for sorting in the table (date, name, topic, etc) Add mod controls for the topics like you'd find in the forum view? Again, let me know if you find any errors or have any other suggestions :) Link to comment
3DKiwi Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi. I tried recached my skins and recaching the caches but no luck. Nope, I don't have nobbyNoMates as shown here with the default skin so yes please if you could put something together. That would be most appreciated. 3DKiwi Link to comment
MisterPhilip Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Nope, I don't have nobbyNoMates as shown here with the default skin so yes please if you could put something together. That would be most appreciated. Take a look inside the globalTemplate skinbit: If it still isn't there, please PM me and we can find you a better skin hook location ;) Link to comment
3DKiwi Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi. Nope this code is not in any of my global templates. Could you please list the code. I'll then manually add it in. Thanks 3DKiwi Link to comment
setrio Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Excuse me for the question but whats the difference with "My content" :D Link to comment
MisterPhilip Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 @3DWiki - you can add this in anywhere within the user dropdown:<if test="unreadRepliesLink:|:$this->settings['unread_replies_enable']"> <li id='user_unread' class='row1'><a href='{parse url="app=forums&module=unreadReplies§ion=view" base="public"}' title='{$this->lang->words['unread_hook_link']}'>{$this->lang->words['unread_hook_link']}</a></li> </if> @setrio - My Content shows a list of all of your content, read or unread. This narrows it down to just threads with new replies in it. TBH - I've never really used My Content, so if there is a filter feature by new replies then... uhh I guess it does make the meat of my hook pointless :P Link to comment
*Salvo* Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hello, The last version shows only (to me) one (o Link to comment
MisterPhilip Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi *Salvo* - You're saying in v1.0.1 (technically 1.01), it's only showing the last 1 reply no matter what? The only thing I can think of that might cause that is the type conversion in the $limit variable (which was changed in 1.0.2). Are you able to upgrade to 1.0.2? Link to comment
*Salvo* Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hello, MisterPhilip. Thank you for your prompt response. It's the last version that has a perfect, wonderful layout (the skin's layout..lovely), but it's with only one reply (gonna print a screenshot). And I have at least a billion of unread replies. The set up is on "up to 100". Just tell me if you need more details. I've upgraded from the 1st version simply re-uploading the "admin" folder into the "admin" already existing one, and re-uploaded the new xml hook file. Link to comment
Luis Manson Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 i also dont get the menu on the clean cut skin, but its on the default one :| i disabled/enabled the hook and rebuild the caches... Link to comment
MisterPhilip Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hi guys - Sorry for the delayed reply, have been away from the office. I'll take a look at both problems tomorrow night! Link to comment
