Relocating the NEW marker

[Craw]

Hi all,

I want to relocate the NEW image marker when there are new unread posts since your last visit:

I want to put it BEFORE the topic title and NOT AFTER.

Please help. How do I do this? Thanks

Open your default MessageIndex.template.php (you'll have to edit this on any theme that has it's own MessageIndex.template.php as well).

Find:

Code Select Expand

echo '
', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span>', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '</b>' : '';

// Is this topic new? (assuming they are logged in!)
if ($topic['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged'])
echo '
<a href="', $topic['new_href'], '" id="newicon' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" /></a>';

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

// Is this topic new? (assuming they are logged in!)
if ($topic['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged'])
echo '
<a href="', $topic['new_href'], '" id="newicon' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" /></a>';

echo '
', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '<b>' : '' , '<span id="msg_' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span>', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '</b>' : '';

Tested and working.

Thanks Eliana. I'll try it tomorrow. I gotta go sleep now and just checked

OK, I was able to test it. And it works like how I wanted it to.

Thanks a bunch, Eliana!
