Show unread posts since last visit

[~DS~]

I am not sure if it's a bug but why does the "Show unread posts since last visit." became marked as read when signed out. I had about 10 unread and decided to read them later so I signed back in and there was no unread posts. WTF?

That's always been with SMF. So i guess it ain't a bug.

They are "since last visit.". If you log out, it ends your visit. Try http://thetwoworldsforum.com/index.php?action=unread;all , it shows all unread posts.

Show unread posts since last visit -> All unread topics.

Thanks that works. This link "action=unread;all" should be default in SMF under "Show unread posts since last visit" somehow.

You can add it:

Index.template.php

find:

Code Select Expand


<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a></li>

Add after:

Code Select Expand


<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread;all">', $txt['unread_topics_all'], '</a></li>

I have this

Code Select Expand

', empty($modSettings['shd_helpdesk_only']) ? ('<li><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=unread">' . $txt['unread_since_visit'] . '</a></li>
<li><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=unreadreplies">' . $txt['show_unread_replies'] . '</a></li>
<li><a href="'. $scripturl. '?action=zeroreplies"> Show unanswered topics.</a></li>') : '';
Where does the code goes in?

[Owdy]

Try before this

Code Select Expand

<li><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=unreadreplies">' . $txt['show_unread_replies'] . '</a></li>

Like this

Code Select Expand

               ', empty($modSettings['shd_helpdesk_only']) ? ('<li><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=unread">' . $txt['unread_since_visit'] . '</a></li>
<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread;all">', $txt['unread_topics_all'], '</a></li>
<li><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=unreadreplies">' . $txt['show_unread_replies'] . '</a></li>
<li><a href="'. $scripturl. '?action=zeroreplies"> Show unanswered topics.</a></li>') : '';

[~DS~]

Ok the comma was wrong. Had to change it to this

Code Select Expand

<li><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=unread;all">' . $txt['unread_topics_all']. '</a></l
It works.

[Owdy]

Ah, okay, good thing it works

[~DS~]

Does this show unread topics or posts? Because the link text says "All Unread Topics"
Should be "Show Unread Posts"

[Owdy]

*all* unread.

[~DS~]

Code Select Expand

<li><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=unread;all">' . $txt 'Show Unread Topics and Posts'. '</a></l
Does that work?
Again thank you.

[Owdy]

This should

Code Select Expand

<li><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=unread;all">Show Unread Topics and Posts</a></li>

edit: notice that your ending tag was broken too:

Code Select Expand

</l should be

Code Select Expand

</li>

yeah got it Mr. Positive. Thanks.

May this interest someone who needs it or either can be moved to Tips?

[Raffoz]

ok, very useful...

i like very much the ioption in Invision ower Board where you can choose to see the new posts since your last visit or the new posts that remain new until you don't see them, modifying so the way the cookie is going to work...

ok we have the 2 options in smf...

who knows how to add a beautiful button (like the "reply" one) in order to put it and let appear: "Show unread posts" making it working as the mod code here posted?

[~DS~]

It's possible but it will mess with the avatar and overflow the layout.

[Raffoz]

yeah, but my idea was to put it in the right part of the forum...

i attach an image...
