Force Topic Read on Login

[bestfriendavinash]

sounds good...

but will it work with 2.0.2 ?

[SMFHacks.com Team]

It should work with 2.0.2

[tMicky]

Can you use it with the Welcome Topic Mod, so the new user sees that first?

[vbgamer45]

Maybe I would give it a try.

[Kimmie]

Would there be any conflict between this mod....


and this one?

[vbgamer45]

No idea try and find out.

[Jade Elizabeth]

Is there a way I can change it to require them to reply to the topic?

[vbgamer45]

Could be done but would require extra code.

[Jade Elizabeth]

I'd really really really really really really like it done so please let me know what I need to do to make it happen .

This mod used to be working perfectly for me.  But now it's forcing a read to the indicated topic for everyone, each time they login, even if they have read it before.

It's been a while since I first installed this mod and thought I remembered that it worked in that a user would only be forced to read a particular message the first time, not every time they logged in.

I am currently using SMF 2.0.3 and version 2.1 of this mod.

I use this mod to send new users to a 'welcome' message the first time they login. The welcome message gets a little old after they have seen it many many times. LOL

Note that the 'welcome' message is a 'locked' and 'sticky' message, could this be affecting the operation of this mod?


Any ideas of where I should look so not to continually force a read of this topic every time they login? Thanks for any help!

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?

Would be great if you could specify multiple topics that needed to be read.

[vbgamer45]

Maybe one day

Hi
using this with Anecdota/2.0.4.
I get this

Code Select Expand

// Start Force Read Topic on Login Mod $helptxt['force_read_topic_id'] = 'To find the topic ID, do the following:
-Open the topic you wish.
-Copy the URL. It should be in this format: http://yoursite.com/forum/index.php?topic=123456.0
-Copy the topic ID (ex, the bolded area: 123456)
-Go to the Features and Options > Basic Settings in your admin panel
-Copy the topic ID (ex: 123456) into this topic ID box'; // End Force Read Topic on Login Mod
at the top of some pages (not all)
i have checked that ?> is at the end of modifications.english.php.it is.

The mod installed OK but is not redirecting.
i have tried a member account that I know hasn't read the topic and I have read all this topic.
It is enabled and I have tried the default theme.

the bit of code above tells me to go to "basic settings" .am I right in thinking that does not apply to 2.0.4? 9I have put the topic number in the modification settings along with enable.

thanks

(this is not the board in my signature. It is in a closed board so no point giving you the link atm. I can give access if needed tho)

This mod doesn't work with smf 2.0.4 regardless what it says in topic for the mod....it doesn't work at all.  Even tried emulating without luck.  Also it says to look under basic settings and add topic id there but there is no location to enter it for there isn't a basic setting area....what settings there are under it says nothing about a id for the topic so this will need to be adjusted in order to work with smf 2.0.4 sad to say.... 

I was hoping to redirect new members to the rules but I guess not.  Thanks for trying though but you should edit and remove the smf 2.0.4 from versions it works with for it doesn't. 

[davidgould]

Doesn't work here on 2.04 either.  No errors reported, just no change in SMF behaviour.

[davidgould]

Any chance of this getting fixed?  It would be very very useful here.

[vbgamer45]

Not likely since I am busy at the moment.

[danielwmoore]

For those out there wondering, in 2.0.6, you can use the settings in the Admin panel, but they do absolutely nothing. User's aren't having to read any topic. It's like a useless checkbox and textbox taking up room in the admin panel.

It's a shame, too. This sure would be handy to direct new users to the rules on their first login, or a welcome message, depending on your preference.

I have a forum that is closing in just under a month, and was going to use it to redirect all users that have been there for years to the topic announcing the closure, so they'd know what to expect.

Ah, well. I suppose that's what Newsletters are for.

Works fine on my localhost test forum with 98 mods installed.
