Good work, I was waiting for someone to do this.

[David Ivashenko]

Just a question before i buy this, I can't tell if this is a sidebar or not?

Hello,

Yes, this is sidebar hook

This hook will show block with Recent Topics/Posts on Sidebar.

[David Ivashenko]

This is not working properly for me:

As you can see on my site here

It displays both topics and post in the same column/tab instead of seperating it. What seems to be wrong?

Also... can we get an option to remove certain aspects of the sidebar. Personally, I don't like the fact that it displays which forum the post/topic is from. An option to remove that would be great!

[newbie LAC]

Thanks for purchase

Yes, I can see.

Your skin already have a jquery

Remove it from my hook: ACP - Look and Feel - Your skin - Board Index - nbTabRecentTopicsPosts
Find and delete

<script src="{$this->settings['public_dir']}js/nb_posts_tabs/js/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>

You can delete unnecessary information within the specified template

Or I can add new settings for hook. But I need some time

[David Ivashenko]

Thanks for the fast reply. Worked like a charm. I just have 1 more question. What would i have to add to the file to make it so that the active tab changes its text color to white? Just so users can easily tell which tab is active at the moment?

Add in the ipb_styles.css

.ui-tabs-active a {
	color: #ffffff;
}

Or add in the template

<style type='text/css'>
.ui-tabs-active a {
	color: #ffffff;
}
</style>

Does this work with the IPB 3.4.6 and IP Content 2.3.6?

Yes... not sure for IP. Content but I am running it on IP Board 3.4.6

I am having the same issue where Replies and Topics are showing in the same place. I did what you said and the issue is still occurring, any ideas?

My Site

Also, how can I get the "Replies" and "Topics" to show as a different color? They are unreadable as they are now.

Hello,

1 http://nsagamers.com/public/js/nb_posts_tabs/js/jquery.cookie.js

Error 406 - Not Acceptable

An error has occurred. Generally a 406 error is caused because a request has been blocked by Mod Security. If you believe that your request has been blocked by mistake please contact the web site owner.

2. Why do you deleted a line?

<script src="{$this->settings['public_dir']}js/nb_posts_tabs/js/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>

Also, how can I get the "Replies" and "Topics" to show as a different color? They are unreadable as they are now.

I added the line back in and am still having the issue.

I added the line back in and am still having the issue.

The reason

http://nsagamers.com/public/js/nb_posts_tabs/js/jquery.cookie.js

[almax]

Any idea how to fix it? Half the stuff I am finding says to disable mod_security through .htaccess, which I tried and it did not work, the other half say to contact the plugin developer to see if they have a fix.

Got that fixed. I had to contact my host to disable the rules that were causing the issue.

Also, for changing the tab colors. I added the

.ui-tabs-active a {
	color: #ffffff;
}

to the ipb_styles.css and I am not seeing any change.

But I am wondering, won't that only change the color of the active tab? I am looking to change the color of the inactive, on hover, and active.

And, is there any way that I can make unread posts/topics show up differently from read posts/topics in the list?

[newbie LAC]

Also, for changing the tab colors. I added the... to the ipb_styles.css and I am not seeing any change.

You have an error

/* Recent Topics
.ui-tabs-active a {
    color:#fff
}

/* Recent Topics

Use

/* Recent Topics */

or

// Recent Topics

But I am wondering, won't that only change the color of the active tab? I am looking to change the color of the inactive, on hover, and active.

/* For inactive */
.ui-state-default a {
	color: #000000;
}

/* For active */
.ui-tabs-active a {
	color: #ffffff;
}

/* For hover */
.ui-state-default a:hover {
	color: #00ff00;
}

And, is there any way that I can make unread posts/topics show up differently from read posts/topics in the list?

Only rewriting the code

[almax]

I just thought of something that might be easier, how could I add the new post "pips" in front of each. For example from my site, if a topic has a new post it is green, if you have read the post it is grey. Would it be possible to code those in to your mod where it would show up to the left of the users image, and if so how?

EX:

Code that adds the dot in front of the topics:

<if test="topicIsMoved:|:$imgArray['is_moved']">
	<span title="{$this->lang->words['pm_moved']}">{parse replacement="t_moved"}</span>
</if>
<if test="topicIsClosed:|:$imgArray['is_closed']">
	<span title="{$this->lang->words['pm_locked']}">{parse replacement="t_closed"}</span>
</if>
<if test="topicReadDot:|:$imgArray['show_dot'] && empty( $unreadUrl )">{parse replacement="t_read_dot"}</if>
<if test="gotolatestwrap:|: ! empty( $unreadUrl ) && ! $imgArray['is_moved']">
	<a href='{$unreadUrl}' title='{$this->lang->words['first_unread_post']}'>
	<if test="topicUnreadDot:|:$imgArray['show_dot']">
		{parse replacement="t_unread_dot"}
	<else />
		{parse replacement="t_unread"}
	</if>
	</a>
</if>

Thank you for your help!

[almax]

Oh, and I tried to add that code in exactly, it did not work.

[newbie LAC]

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply

I update the hook

Now text for unread topics is bold

[almax]

Just applied the update, not seeing a difference between read and unread topics.

[almax]

Apparently I can not edit my previous post for some reason...

Anyhow, I fixed the issue above (uninstalled hook and reinstalled). And with your change I have been able to make it where unread posts show up highlighted as well (I can understand and replicate code most of the time). Thank you for the change!

That being said, any way I can make the entire div that contains the user image, topic name, topic location, username, and post time show with the highlight? I was able to get everything BUT the user image to work (I tired about everything I could think of, including the <tr> property that the forums use to highlight forums with new posts, but nothing I tried would work).

[newbie LAC]

Find

					<li class='clearfix'>

Change to

					<li class='clearfix<if test="!$r['t_read']"> tpunread</if>'>

Then add in ipb_styles.css

.tpunread {
    background: #151515;
}

[almax]

Works like a charm! Thank you for all the help!

[Subseven]

This looks like a nice feature.

[David Ivashenko]

Would you mind updating the modification with the following options?

• Whether to highlight selected bar
• Toggle various aspects of the module itself like Forum Section, Time, Name
• Option to bold/indicate which posts are unread

I know this can all manually be done by editing the template, but when i update my theme (today), custom changes I make are lost! Any Help?
