I *REALLY* need this, and it's BRILLIANT....except when you try to view unread topics it doesn't load the block or the page....

Code: [Select]
/* Unread Posts Block v1.4 ||  c/o Underdog @ http://askususaquestion.net */
global $settings, $sourcedir;
@require_once($sourcedir . '/PortalUnread.php');

/* Current default settings are for a full display example */
/* Recommended settings for compact display (ie. side block) :           */
/* $parameters['container_style'] = 'font-family:Helvetica;font-size:10px;   */
/* $parameters['display'] = 'compact';              */

/* --------------------------------------------BLOCK SETTINGS-------------------------------------------- */
$seconds = 60;
$auto_refresh = true; /* Change to false to disable auto refresh */

/* Basic settings */
$parameters['type'] = 'topics'; /* Posts/Topics */
$parameters['rows'] = '5'; /* (int) Amount of posts/topics per page */
$parameters['display'] = 'full'; /* full/compact */
$parameters['show_icon'] = 'yes'; /* yes/no - Show new icon */
$parameters['full_height'] = 25; /* (int) Uniform row height for full display */
$parameters['compact_height'] = 45; /* (int) Uniform row height for compact display */
$parameters['container_class'] = 'mediumtext'; /* Set the css class for the whole container .. */
$parameters['container_style'] = 'font-family:open sans;font-size:14px;'; /* Set the css attributes for the whole container */

$parameters['boards'] = '17'; /* Specific boards to display ... uncomment to use this option! */

/* This is the number of recent topics to select new one's from */ 
$parameters['limit'] = 10; /* (int) Maximum amount of posts/topics to display */

/* Image/Language Text  ...  set $parameters['unread_icons'] = false; to disable images & use text */
/* All images located in directory /Themes/default/images/sp */
$parameters['unread_icons'] = true;
$parameters['prev'] = 'Prev'; 
$parameters['next'] = 'Next';
$parameters['vbar_x'] = '|';
$parameters['vbar_y'] = '|';

/* Starting page */
$_SESSION['sp_current_page'] = 1;

/* --------------------------------------------END BLOCK SETTINGS-------------------------------------------- */

/* Execute & then let jQuery reset the container every xx milliseconds */
sportal_unread($parameters, false, false);

if ($auto_refresh)
echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="'.$settings['default_theme_url'].'/scripts/sp-jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
setInterval(function() {       
    $("#sp_content").load(location.href+" #sp_content","");
        event.stopPropagation();                       
}, '.((int)$seconds * 1000).');
</script>';

Can anyone help with this? It's making a bit of a mess of things and I really need this block to alert staff of new issues.

It also doesn't work on the recent posts, unread replies...etc pages.

I used to use this, too, but stopped, as it seemed to have such a large empty block for most part. Even if posts were listed, the block always seemed too big for the list. As if, the block is a set height, instead of fluid.

I did a copy&paste of the code in your post into a block and it apparently works fine, could you give more hints on how you configured it? ;)
And "how" exactly it is failing? I'm not sure if it is on any page or just in particular ones.

heh.
One of the few coding guidelines really meaningful and actually very good of SMF is "do not use the suppress error unless *really* needed".

The problem is:
Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare unreadTopics() (previously declared in /.../Sources/Recent.php:423) in /.../Sources/PortalUnread.php on line 355
So the solution if rename the unreadTopics function declared in PortalUnread.php to something else, sp_unreadTopics for example, and of course change all the usages of that function inside the file and the code of the block.

Of course renaming it may reveal other similar errors.

I tried that it says there's a syntax error in the block code when i tried to save (even though there were no changes) and now it says this on pages:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function unreadtopics() in /Sources/PortalUnread.php on line 44

function sp_advUnreadTopics is what I renamed it to, in case sp_unreadTopics was in use.

You have to change also the places the function is called.
So, line 44 of PortalUnread.php you will have:
Code: [Select]
unreadtopics();or something similar, and you have to put:
Code: [Select]
sp_advUnreadTopics();or alike depending how it was in origin.

No line 44 is this:

Code: [Select]
function sportal_unread($parameters, $id, $return_parameters = false)

$block_parameters = array(

$items = $type($limit, null, $boards, 'array');
$row_height_full = !empty($parameters['full_height']) ? (int) $parameters['full_height'] : 35;
$row_height_compact = !empty($parameters['compact_height']) ? (int) $parameters['compact_height'] : 45;

$current_page = !empty($_SESSION['sp_current_page']) ? (int) $_SESSION['sp_current_page'] : 1;
$class = !empty($parameters['container_class']) ? $parameters['container_class'] : 'mediumtext';
$style = !empty($parameters['container_style']) ? $parameters['container_style'] : 'font-family:Helvetica;';
if ($display == 'full')
$height = ($rows+1.88) * $row_height_full;
else
$height = ($rows+0.88) * $row_height_compact;

Possible is certainly possible. It requires to rewrite the query to fetch the "unreply" following the one used by SMF for the same function.

* emanuele hopes Chan Zhen has some moment to look into the matter.  :angel:

Did you try to set the options inside the code up or did you just blindly copy/paste it? ;)
