JEFF MACK Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Wow, the one feature that seems to be hitting me a lot from my users is the 3.x feature that remembered where people left off reading a thread. Is this a setting that I missed or is it just not there? People are really irate that it is not remember that last post that they read and that they spend more time looking for it. Now some just don't bother and that is loosing page views, time on site, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
不中用 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 . You mean this one ? It's not the last read but the first unread .. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF MACK Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 yes that is there, but unless I am mistaken, it used to do that automatically for users no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbnautilus Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 yes that is there, but unless I am mistaken, it used to do that automatically for users no?Are you talking about what happens when you click the title of the link? The topic title takes you to Page 1, clicking the star/circle takes you to the first unread post. If you want the topic title to take you to first unread post you can alter that in your theme.

Do you know what the attribute is for that? Or what should be changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbnautilus Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Do you know what the attribute is for that? Or what should be changed?Click to edit your theme's Templates (Edit Html & CSS button), and then find the template forums-> front-> forums-> topicRowThen change the code for the link. Find <a href='{$row->url()}' {{if $row->tableHoverUrl and $row->canView()}}data-ipsHover data-ipsHover-target='{$row->url()->setQueryString('preview', 1)}' data-ipsHover-timeout='1.5'{{endif}} itemprop="url"> <span itemprop="name"> {{if $row->mapped('title')}}{wordbreak="$row->mapped('title')"}{{else}}<em class="ipsType_light">{lang="content_deleted"}</em>{{endif}} </span> </a>and change to: <a href='{$row->url('getNewComment')}' {{if $row->tableHoverUrl and $row->canView()}}data-ipsHover data-ipsHover-target='{$row->url()->setQueryString('preview', 1)}' data-ipsHover-timeout='1.5'{{endif}} itemprop="url"> <span itemprop="name"> {{if $row->mapped('title')}}{wordbreak="$row->mapped('title')"}{{else}}<em class="ipsType_light">{lang="content_deleted"}</em>{{endif}} </span> </a> So basically you are just changing $row->url() to $row->url('getNewComment') in order to change the link to new post instead of first post. Make sure to hit Save and you are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF MACK Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks for posting that. I can see the change of the url on my site, but it just seems like it just skips to the end of the forum even though I know I did not read all the pages.

JEFF MACK Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Even on this forum, I go click the little dot that you see in that animated image above these posts and it just sends me to the last post, even if I did read the thread at all.

I'm not sure but I never saw this feature in any other forum software .. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF MACK Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Plenty of people on my forum are letting me hear about it and want it back the way it was in 3.4.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
