Topic: Favourite (Favorite) Boards [UPDATED FOR RC3]

[Lordmiller]

Mod is working nicely, but having one issue (2.0 RC 3, default installed theme)

On the top title bar of every category, on the right side, is a button "Unread Posts" that shows you all the unread posts of that category. if you click on that button for the "My Favorite Boards" category, you get this error:

An Error Has Occurred!
No valid boards were selected!

Mod is working nicely, but having one issue (2.0 RC 3, default installed theme)

On the top title bar of every category, on the right side, is a button "Unread Posts" that shows you all the unread posts of that category. if you click on that button for the "My Favorite Boards" category, you get this error:

An Error Has Occurred!
No valid boards were selected!

I am having the same problem ( smf 2.0 rc3 core ) except for the error.  Shows in the Category lines as " shrink " "Unread Post"  " Category name".
If I add a fav board the "Unread Post" shows like above on it as well.  When you click on "Unread Post" in my case it shows the unread post in the board.

It has to do with this part of code as far as I can tell in BoardIndex.template.php. (modified) Both from the Core theme.

Code: [Select]

        if (!$context['user']['is_guest'] && (($category['id'] == 0 && count($context['fav_boards']) > 0) || (!empty($category['show_unread']))))
            echo '
                        <a class="unreadlink" href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread;c=', ($category['id'] != 0 ? $category['id'] : implode(',', $context['fav_boards'])), '">', $txt['view_unread_category'], '</a>';
The original part of the code is:

Code: [Select]

        if (!$context['user']['is_guest'] && !empty($category['show_unread']))
            echo '
            <a class="floatright" href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread;c=', $category['id'], '">', $txt['view_unread_category'], '</a>';

So any ideas?

[poser3dart]

Ok fixed it so it shows like default now.

Take the modified code:

Code: [Select]

        if (!$context['user']['is_guest'] && (($category['id'] == 0 && count($context['fav_boards']) > 0) || (!empty($category['show_unread']))))
            echo '
                        <a class="unreadlink" href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread;c=', ($category['id'] != 0 ? $category['id'] : implode(',', $context['fav_boards'])), '">', $txt['view_unread_category'], '</a>';

and replace "unreadlink" with "floatright" as below:

Code: [Select]

        if (!$context['user']['is_guest'] && (($category['id'] == 0 && count($context['fav_boards']) > 0) || (!empty($category['show_unread']))))
            echo '
                        <a class="floatright" href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread;c=', ($category['id'] != 0 ? $category['id'] : implode(',', $context['fav_boards'])), '">', $txt['view_unread_category'], '</a>';
It moves the "Unread Post" back to the right of the category line like it should be.

Hope this helps anyone else with this problem ( Lordmiller ).

Note:  Remember I'm using Core Theme.

Sorry, I didn't have the notification turned on for this topic, so didn't know when people needed support.

Anyways thanks poser3dart, I will check out your solution and probably add it to the next version, which will be updated when RC4 comes out.

RC5 is out, no update? I would LOVE this mod. I created a few boards I will never use (macintosh gaming, etc) and would favorite most of the others and hide the categories for the boards I won't use.

This actually works on 2.0.4

Also, is it possible to make this work if you hide the categories for the boards you don't want to see?

[Arantor]

I don't remember how I wrote this originally but I have the feeling that the answer is largely a no.

The point is that if you hide the categories, the boards themselves are not loaded in the first place. Doing it irrespective of that means another query - only quite an expensive one.
