  • {OCS}MasterSeal: I know this SB isnt' for support, but I just have a general question. Who would I contact to find out where SP stores its block info? Is it DB driven or files? I searched the site but came up with nothing. probably my fault any insight is appreciated.

posts since last visit
« on: September 18, 2008, 03:41:13 AM »
Hello again,

"View new posts since last visit" was a feature of various portals that was really useful. According to my knowledge, there is nothing like that in simpleportal. Is it possible to have such a link somehow ?

Thanks in advance.

Do you just want to add it to its own block?

That should be easy to do with a 'PHP' block, create a new one in the admin section and then add this code to it:
Code: [Select]
global $scripturl;
echo '<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">View new posts since last visit</a>';

Oh that's great. Could it also be possible to add it in the "User Info" Block ?

Hmmm, we can have a count of it leading to the unread page maybe.
And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be...

I guess u re talking about something like :

Quote
View new posts since last visit (18)
showing the number !

I guess also something like
Quote
There are no new posts since your last visit
could also be possible, and would make the whole thing more dynamic.


p.s. Any chance I can get some help on how to integrate the original code to "User Info" block ?

Thanks for the code, nice to have it as a little extra. It would be great to have the number of posts too, like someone else said.

Thinking about it, this would be pretty cool.

Maybe something like a 'Unread Posts' link directly under 'Profile' and 'Logout'
