    Hi CK,

    Wonderful mate, thanks alot for this.
    And for a quick response.

    But... i've found a bug.

    I'm using the latest stable release (not the 1.0alpha), and when i turn on $unread_posts['add_row_class']=true; i get teh following error:

    Fatal error: Function name must be a string in {root}\bb-plugins\unread-posts\unread-posts.php on line 47

    47: if ($unread_posts['add_row_class']) {$add_filter( 'topic_class', 'up_mark_row_unread');}

    ( i know this may seem like a small thing, but i do believe this plug in is really essential to differentiating between a blog and a forum - so major thanks for writing and maintining it)

    solved it myself (can't believe i missed that one sorry). Line 47 should read:

    47: if ($unread_posts['add_row_class']) {add_filter( 'topic_class', 'up_mark_row_unread');}

    there should be no $ before the add_filter();

    um, atleast, i think. my PHP's not great at this time of the morning!

    You know, i need to apologise for doing this at 4am, because this should all be in one post but anyway:

    Next bug...

    If i set all options to true

    $unread_posts['indicate_forums']=true;
    $unread_posts['indicate_last_login']=true;
    $unread_posts['add_row_class']=true;

    The TR of the list of topics receives the correct class, but the Forum list still gets a span added instead or the class being added to the TR.

    (and once again, thank you so much for all the help!)

    I've installed the plugin and it works great; it highlights unread threads properly.

    However I don't see a "mark topic as read" or some similar button... did I miss something?

    Kevin, sorry I rushed that update out before I left and then added the IF at the last second so the row wouldn't be on for everyone - causing the {$add typo. Glad you found it.

    To disable the titles, just comment out of this line like so:
    

    // add_filter('topic_title', 'up_mark_title_unread');

    I haven't addressed the forums yet.
    I did the topic row fix in about 2 minutes in a rush.
    Forums are much more complex but will address it.

    Vadi, you have to add the link to mark all read manually to your templates. See the FAQ. There is no way to add it automatically, sorry.

    Kevin, try 0.9.3 when you see it here, it should do forums now too.

    I've now made the row class a toggle instead of supplement because there is no need to have both, CSS can control every element.

    Hey CK! Is there by chance a "Mark all as read" function? I'll be honest to say that I haven't peeked through the code at all, so I'm being a bit lazy by asking. I figure it might be a good feature if it's not here yet!

    There are two different mark all read options, look in the readme.

    So using <a href="?mark_all_topics_read">Mark all topics as read</a> seems to mark all topics as unread...

    i also have the problem where reading a topic marks it as unread.
    the plugin worked at first and now it is working backwards.

    feel free to test:

    hm, the behaviour has now reversed again. threads i read last time i visited still appear unread even though they are read, but anything i read now is working as it should. i haven't logged in/out but i did leave the board for an hour or so. is there something weird going on with cookies, i wonder?

    i can't edit my post above - i got here a minute too late, so apologies for the repeated posts.

    i don't know if it's a session issue but it seems some threads just will NOT appear 'read' no matter how or when i look at them. i am going to monitor this and will come back once i've figured out what these threads have in common.

    The topic should be marked read when you visit a post beyond the last one.

    Are you using 0.9 or 1.0 ?

    apologies, i figured this out. there was something strange going on with my CSS which was causing very odd behaviour. i fixed it by being very specific with my CSS declarations, so there was no way the browser could misinterpret what i was trying to achieve!

    #latest td a {
    color:#333; }

    #latest td a {
    color:#333; }

    #latest td a .unread_posts {
    color:#2e6e15; }

    #latest td .unread_login{
    color:#2e6e15; }

    There are two colors indicating two different things.
    There is a lighter blue indicating truly unread posts.
    However if a user is new or you "mark all read" there is a fallback function that highlights posts that are only new since last login. That was actually a feature request by someone else awhile back.

    You can disable that. Change this line near the top
    

    $unread_posts['indicate_last_login']=false;

    how i can do to mark topic as unread if i didn't post in ?

    This is a great plugin, but I noticed the "Mark All Read" is seeming to work backwards. If I click it once, it marks what was previously read as unread. I click it another time and it works correctly. Has anyone else noticed this? It's pretty consistent behavior for me.

    Hello,

    Great plugin like the rest you've made _ck_ ! I would like to ask you something...
    Is there a possibility of adding an icon in a different column when a topic is unread and when a forum includes unread topics?
    And if so, how can I do this?
    In fact I am not so familiar with all this coding but I really try :P
