Show "no new posts" board icon to guests [SMF 2.1.x]

[MobileCS]

Is there a way I can change it so it shows the "no new posts" board icon to guests?

You want the guest to see 'no new posts' on all boards even the first time they visit?

[MobileCS]

Yes, I just want guests to see the "no new posts" board icon - even on first visit.

As it stands now, the "new posts" board icon always shows for them, regardless if they have viewed the board or not.

Post views are tracked by member, there's no way for forum to know if a guest has been there previously, or what's been posted since last visit.  Why do you want to do that?

Or do you want guests to always see no new posts icon for all boards?

Yes, that's what I would like to do.

Someone can clean this up, but it'll give you the general idea -

BoardIndex.template.php

Code Select Expand


function template_bi_board_icon($board)
{
global $context, $scripturl;

if ($context['user']['is_guest'])

echo '
<a href="', ($context['user']['is_guest'] ? $board['href'] : $scripturl . '?action=unread;board=' . $board['id'] . '.0;children'), '" class="board_off"', !empty($board['board_tooltip']) ? ' title="' . $board['board_tooltip'] . '"' : '', '></a>';

  else

echo '
<a href="', ($context['user']['is_guest'] ? $board['href'] : $scripturl . '?action=unread;board=' . $board['id'] . '.0;children'), '" class="board_', $board['board_class'], '"', !empty($board['board_tooltip']) ? ' title="' . $board['board_tooltip'] . '"' : '', '></a>';
