Confirmation message to Mark as Read

I'm sure everyone already found himself in this situation: 2 "unread posts since last visit", plus 4 pages of "All unread posts" and just when you are to click the "ALL UNREAD POSTS", you actually click the "MARK ALL MESSAGES AS READ".

This MOD will present you a confirmation box when you click the button "MARK ALL MESSAGES AS READ".

It does so in:
- BoardIndex (main forum page at the bottom)
- MessageIndex (list of topics inside a board)
- Unread Posts / Unread Replies

There are no configurations necessary, those are just 4 "replace" operations and a new language string.
This was tested in a clean 2.0.5 installation with default theme. Most themes do not change most of the files affected, but BoardIndex.template.php could cause conflicts with custom themes. If that's the case, please ask for advice.

Very nice.

A suggestion: Use JSE to aid with localization.

onclick="return confirm(' . JavaScriptEscape($txt['are_sure_mark_read']) . ');"

Actually I've used the same code used in "Remove" button, and that also brings a "localized" message, so I assume it should work without issues...

Nice and tidy, well done.


You were lucky it wasn't classified as a "small" mod and hence rejected, as other similarly sized mods have been... ;)

Oh nice one! I'm going to install this - I'm always accidentally marking all messages as read!

I really think this should be folded into 2.1.

I'm struggling hard to make my way in this new world of GitHub and commit a PR. Not quite there, though :P

Thank you. Can't say I disagree totally. Please bear in mind that this was my first ever submitted MOD :P and that it's just meant to save some not-so-confident-to-edit-code users an easy alternative.

Actually there's not much to show, really. I thought of that, but a yes/no confirmation message is hardly worth a print screen :)

Because users like having things to look at, makes them feel more comfortable about including mods, even when it will be totally obvious about what the changes will be.

Thanks for the (very) handy mod. ;)
