Info Center Manager

This modification allows you to configure the following aspects of the "Info Center" display:

• The "Users Online" section can now be hidden, while still showing the "Recent Posts" section
• In the "Recent Posts" section, the display can now be restricted to the latest post per topic only. This prevents posts in very active topics from "flooding" the "Recent Posts" section and permits recent posts from other topics to be shown as well.

The mod has its own configuration page in the mod settings section of the admin panel.

Current localizations:

• English
• German
• Spanish (thanks to -Rock Lee-)

Version history:

• 2022-10-24: 1.0b3 (translation to Spanish)
• 2022-10-24: 1.0b2 (for SMF 2.1.2)

Released under GPL-3.0-or-later.

It took me some time but I was able to translate it completely I'll leave it attached.

Will there be an option in one of the next versions to also hide the forum statistics?
I couldn't find any modification that does this.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see what I can do.

Another suggestion:
Also hide the calendar in action center.

I don't want to deactivate the calendar completely, because I use TinyPortal to display appointments. It should only no longer be visible in the InfoCenter.

I checked "Info Center Manager" in a fresh SMF docker setup.
In SMF 2.1.4 it does not work because the Settings are not available in "Modification Settings".
And in SMF 2.1.2 (last official supported version) my browser only shows an error message as soon as I tick "Show only latest reply per topic in "Recent Posts" section":

Code Select Expand

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, null given in /var/www/html/Sources/Class-InfoCenterMgr.php:107 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/Sources/Class-InfoCenterMgr.php(107): count(NULL) #1 /var/www/html/Sources/Subs.php(5759): PeakFox\InfoCenterMgr::markReadHook() #2 /var/www/html/Sources/BoardIndex.php(137): call_integration_hook('integrate_mark_...') #3 /var/www/html/index.php(191): BoardIndex() #4 {main} thrown in /var/www/html/Sources/Class-InfoCenterMgr.php on line 107

Hope that helps.

Installed on PHP 8.0+ and PHP 8.1+, it works fine.

This is caused by the MOD not checking if the recent posts setting is set.
To fix, do the following in Sources/Class-InfoCenterMgr.php

Code (Search) Select Expand

if (empty($modSettings['icm_limit_recent_posts']))
return;


Code (Replace) Select Expand

if (empty($modSettings['icm_limit_recent_posts']) || empty($context['latest_posts']))
return;

In the "Recent Posts" section, the display can now be restricted to the latest post per topic only. This prevents posts in very active topics from "flooding" the "Recent Posts" section and permits recent posts from other topics to be shown as well.

The problem with this is that it slows down the forum every time you click on the forum tab, would anyone know how to solve it?
