Otherwise hundreds of topics on new boards would be marked as new on every visit and it's pointless. New topics that have not been read are always at the top anyway when you visit since topics by default are in date order. </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/unread-topics/#post-1235 Sun, 11 May 2008 15:14:53 +0000 Pinoy.ca 1235@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>Does someone know how other boards (VBulletin, PhpBB, Invision and so forth) implement theirs? Aren't they like this one, too? </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/unread-topics/#post-1087 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 11:34:18 +0000 monstr 1087@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>hm i get a sql error. can anyone help me?</p> <p>bbPress database error: [Table 'db121606_53.bb_utplugin_log' doesn't exist]<br /> SELECT post_read FROM bb_utplugin_log WHERE user_id = 1 AND topic_id = 3 </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/unread-topics/#post-725 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 01:22:11 +0000 andorko 725@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>Here's a small change I made. Instead of making unread topics <strong>strong</strong>, use a span for all topics with a class of <strong>unread</strong> or <strong>read</strong>.<br /> It makes it a little easier to style since you can style unread and/or read items.<br /> Otherwise you have to style the <strong>anchor</strong>, then un-style the <strong>strong</strong>. Which makes it tough to style the <strong>anchor</strong> and have the <strong>strong</strong> inherit from elsewhere.<br /> <pre><code>#latest a .read { font-style: italic; color: blue; } #latest a .unread { font-weight: bold; color: inherit; }</code></pre> <p>The downside is that you have to alter your template style to see the effects of the plugin.</p> <p>If anyone likes it, it might be worth throwing into trac.</p> <p>Was:<br /> <pre><code>if ( utplugin_is_topic_unread($topic, $last_read_in_topic) || !$last_read_in_topic ) { $title = &#39;&lt;strong&gt;&#39; . $title . &#39;&lt;/strong&gt;&#39;; }</code></pre> <p>Changed to:</p> <pre><code>$title_class = ( utplugin_is_topic_unread($topic, $last_read_in_topic) || ! $last_read_in_topic ? &quot;unread&quot; : &quot;read&quot; ); $title = &quot;&lt;span class=\&quot;{$title_class}\&quot;&gt;{$title}&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;;</code></pre> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/unread-topics/#post-614 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 15:51:07 +0000 schmitt 614@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>Looks like a nice plugin that offers users a high degree of service. Your writeup and explanation are helpful.</p> <p>I suppose if a board does become large, it can always be decommissioned.</p> <p>You might consider adding a limitation where a fixed amount of posts are tracked per user, updated to the latest 100 or 50 when they arrive. This would make the scaling linear rather than geometrical. </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/unread-topics/#post-573 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 02:08:02 +0000 henrybb 573@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ This plugin indicates new and unread posts.
