motomac Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Please, add this small link into the Topic Feed widget. It would be very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted May 18, 2017 Management Share Posted May 18, 2017 As widgets are cached to make the efficient, this wouldn't be possible, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motomac Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 @Matt OK, what about just adding ?do=getNewComment to links? Even optionally in widget settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-FP Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 That means that the link to the "new comment" would be there for as long as the cache is not renewed even if you already read the topic, and also it would not show up right away when there's new content. You can reduce that caching to 60 seconds but still I think it would give problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FZ Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I too would like this to follow the logical means of taking the person clicking the link in a feed to the most recent message they haven't read. How is it that the same block when positioned in the sidebar does this, but when moved to the body of the page doesn't? It doesn't make any sense.

motomac Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 @-FP my suggestion is not related to caching at all. It's only about the link URL. The IPS engine will start calculating your personal first unread post only after clicking on this link. The link is the same for all users.

FZ Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yes, I second this suggestion. The url needs to change. We used to be able to do this in 3.4.x when templates made sense, but now we appear to be SOL when it comes to logical customisations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motomac Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 @Matt? It's super easy to do. Should we wait for it or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because sidebar uses its own template, while it uses the forum rows template in horizontal mode. So it acts like a forum view in horizontal mode. Yes, it’s just a matter of add it to the link.
