Post Notifier 1.0 by live627



This mod will add a ribbon at the top of the topic display that will show only if there are new posts within that topic. This, as you may have guessed, uses AJAX.

It updates every 60 seconds. To change, go and open ./Themes/defautl/scripts/postnotifier.js. Replace

60000

with

30000

and that will set the timer to 30 seconds, or 30,000 milliseconds.

Thank you so  much. 1 more question , if i change the number from 60000 to 5000 means it will update every 5 seconds, will it affects the loading time or the server load?

and i notice that it will continue to add the exclamation mark every time it updates. SO is it possible just remain the exclamation mark as 1 set which is (!!) , no matter how many times it updates?

If no one replies then it's usually because no one knows the answer.

Themes/defautl/scripts/postnotifier.js.
Find:
oDiv.style.display = 'block';
Add after:
var title = document.title;
var prefix = title.slice(0,4);
if (prefix != '(!!)')
document.title = '(!!)' + document.title;

(undo the previous change suggested by live627)

Yes. Each "n" seconds a query at the database will be performed.

You the man, Thank you so much for it . :)

Actually mind to explain this part? Thank you in advance
var title = document.title;
var prefix = title.slice(0,4);

title is a string (actual window title). In JS, string.slice allows you to get a part of that string. So I got the first 4 characters. If they are not (!!), I add it. In the next cycle the first 4 characters are (!!) so I don't add anything anymore.
Just learned it while doing this :P I hate JS!

Hi!

Thanks for this mod, this is very good idea.

But I've got problem on SMF 2.0.7 with this mod. Ajax chat (smf version) is installed on my forum. If I install Post Notifier, the Ajax chat is not working anymore, I get error message, when I click to the chat button:

QuoteThis page contains the following errors:

error on line 1 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document

Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

chat button only execute this: http://my-web-page/chat
Without this mod, or after I uninstall this mod, the chat it works.

Any idea?

Thanks.

edit1.:
I found this: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/ajax-chat/XML$20declaration|sort:relevance/ajax-chat/YcYYA_Dn8tU/ge9huolFevUJ

OK, if I change in chat/lib/config.php
$config['contentType'] = null;
to
$config['contentType'] = 'text/html';

the result chat page is displayed without error, but it doesn't work.

edit2.:
I found what is the problem, and I solve it. In the "PostNotifier.php" file in this mod, the first char is space! Only this...
