Does this allow for differentiation of New topics versus Read topics?

I do not recall a setting for it, but you could use CSS to achieve this.

something like -

Code Select Expand

.cbi_off {
  opacity: 0.4;
}

This is important to me but I do not have the Skill Set to do this !!!  Is it possible for the Developer to recode the Mod and implement the change ?

[Sesquipedalian]

You just paste that bit of code into your index.css file. That's it.

Perhaps I can be tutored to do this.

I have accessed my cPanal and see this

Where would I find the index.css ?

public_html/{forum_path_or_root}/Themes/default/css/index.css

forum_path_or_root: Means that this is the root, unless your forum is in a subdirectory.

Is it possible to have different icons independently per theme? Or is it the same across the whole site?

With this mod it would be the same no matter what theme..

However you could do the same trick with just CSS for each individual theme that you have installed.

I think it would still be a better idea if the Developer would just inject this code in during the install .... It sure would "Complete" the Mod.

I will send 10 Kilo's of Sausage to the Developer's email if he could update the program to insert the modification.

One thing I have noticed is that when the images are set as 'replace board icon' when there is a new post/topic there is no indication. I tried replacing

Code Select Expand

.board_icon a.board_on2 {
    background-position: -45px 0;
}
.board_icon a.board_off {
    background-position: 0 -45px;
}

with

Code Select Expand

.board_icon a.board_on {
  border: 4px limegreen solid;
}

.board_icon a.board_on2 {
  border: 4px orange solid;
}

in the css but it didn't work

Update


OK working with the code Tim posted I've used

Code Select Expand

.cbi_on {
  border: 4px limegreen solid;
}
.cbi_on2 {
  border: 4px orange solid;
}
If there's a new post/topic then the green square shows

Obviously the line colour and size can be adjusted to suit your needs

NOTE: The above additional code needs to be added to each themes index.css

[Dave J]

I've now added the following code to the mod install21.xml file

Code Select Expand

<file name="$themedir/css/index.css">
<operation> <!-- End of File -->
<search position="end" />
<add><![CDATA[

/*cbi code for on off notification*/

.cbi_on {
  border: 3px limegreen solid;
}
.cbi_on2 {
  border: 3px orange solid;
}

]]></add>
</operation>
</file>
All tested and works OK

Hi, first thanks for this great mod, i installed on my forum but it mantain also the default image with the new one i uploaded.. what can i do to fix?

[clubkadettspain]

sample image where i modify first icon board and it mantains default one also.
Is should replace it true? and not mantain both.

[clubkadettspain]

i saw that this happens on my custom themes, not on the default theme, there was something on the code that should be added on custom themes to apply them correcty.

[clubkadettspain]

I fixed it modifying the index.css file on the custom theme on the line where .board_icon was definied i reemplace all this part from the default theme index.css modified by this mod.

[Diego Andrés]

Should this MOD include some inline CSS to remove the background image from .board_icon a when there's a custom icon set?
I guess it could be something like class="board_cbi cbi_%s" .board_icon a.board_cbi {background: none;} ?

This bug still hasn't been fixed. Gonna remove the mod until it is.

[keyboard]

Yes.... I wound up removing it too.....  I wanted desperately for it to work !

One thing I've noticed.  I'm using the ReSeller theme, and this mod seems to work decently, until you have a Redirect board.  I've combed over the Theme files, and the developer can not reproduce the problem.  The only difference I see is this mod could impact the Topics/Posts count instead of Redirections count stat.  The first image is the ReSeller Theme, the second image is the Default template.

 echo '
 <div class="board_stats">
 ', function_exists('template_bi_' . $board['type'] . '_stats') ? call_user_func('template_bi_' . $board['type'] . '_stats', $board) : template_bi_board_stats($board), '
 </div>';

Above here, is the code in the Default template.php file, which is identical to the code in the ReSeller template.php file.  I'm not sure what could be the issue here.

I've poked around in the Subs-CBI.php file, and found this, but I'm not sure where else to look:

Code Select Expand

function template_bi_cbi_stats($board)
{
 if (function_exists('template_bi_' . $board['old_type'] . '_stats'))
 call_user_func('template_bi_' . $board['old_type'] . '_stats', $board);
 else
 template_bi_board_stats($board);
}
