MyBB Community Forums

Hi together,

I converted from phpBB3 to myBB, mainly because of your nice hook system :-)

Now I'am missing a little feature. In phpBB3 new/unread posts inside the thread have a special sign. (unread post have little colored arrow - read posts have uncolored arrow)

So it's easy to differ, which post you already have read and which not.

Is there something similar in myBB?


greetz,

Can you say me, if there is any variable (db/cookie?) that indicates if a single post inside a thread is unread or not?

*knock knock*

By default, Unread threads title is bold. If you want to add an arrow in front of the thread's title then you may follow this;

Go to ACP > Temp[lates > Forum display Template > forumdisplay_thread_gotounread > and find;

</a>

and replace it with the following;

</a><img src="images/jump.gif" align="right" title="New Posts">

You missed what he was asking. He is talking about individual posts, not thread listings.

Then I'll try to write a plugin for it.

If you view a thread, then all posts it contain are marked as read. (Though MyBB doesn't have this functionality by default to read or unread any selective "post"). The only possibility is to show Read / Unread (sign or image) on showthread pages. But it is still useless, because once you view a thread, it is immediately marked as read So its not possible to code plugins like that.

However you use the above modification if you want to show such things on thread listings.

Do you want to bet?

Got a solution for this and just finished a plugin for it.

So if someone else is interested in this, I would optimize the code and release it.

Dear lorus,
I have a lot of users who need to view posts in Threaded mode and would LOVE to be able to tell what POSTS they have or have not read.

Please let me know if you have released this option as a plugin yet, and if so, where to find it.

Blessings,
