New Count module

Hi,

nice module. But i have a problem.

Latest cvs: phorum5-cvs-2004090212.tar.gz
latest mod: new_count-1-3.zip

I've wrote as an admin 3 new messages in the 'Bla Forum'. Topic 'bla bla'.

I've logged out and logged in as a registered user only.

I see the index page with two folders:
Bla Forum
Test Forum
Under the Posts column i see (3 new) posts for the 'Bla Forum'. That's correct.
I click and entered the 'Bla Forum'
I see the 'List page' with one created topic.
The topic is 'bla bla' with 1 new posts.
That is not correct. 1 new post? You remember? I've wrote 3 new posts as admin.

I click and entered the 'bla bla' topic.
I see three new posts marked as red.
Whats goin on? Whats wrong with me?


Again, first i see 3 new posts, then only 1 new post, next i found 3 new messages.


Regards,

Stoebi

Hi,

check this with 'Read Threads Expanded = Yes', please
and you hopefully understand me.


Regards, Stoebi


Edit:
In 'Flat mode' works great'
but in
'Threaded mode' the counts are wrong.

Thanks for your report, I'll look into it when I get back home next monday.

I think I have to make a test phorum for myself so I can test it better.

I hope this fixes every known and unknown bug :)

Unfortunately I disabled counting of new messages for threaded mode, but I quess there is not much use for new flags in that mode anyway.

Let me know if that functionality is desired and I'll see what can be done.

latest changes in phorum /move thread with notification/ is cause warning texts:

Warning: array_diff(): Argument #1 is not an array in ...\new_count\new_count.php on line 39

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ...\new_count\new_count.php on line 42

don't use the HEAD-code, just use the stable-snapshots.

Actually I would not change the $messages['new'] String, but create a new one called $messages['new_messages'] analog to the variable created for the index page. And of course the count does not make sense for a threaded list.

Before going the module way, I hacked the list.php to serve the count. Since this is Very, VERY easy, maybe the Phorum Hackers could just add 2 lines like:

   
   $rows[$key]["new_messages"] = 0;

and

   
  $rows[$key]["new_messages"]++;

in the list.php flat view ;)

Everybody could decide, how to use it in their templates, and no expensive extra module is needed.

Hi all. Did anybody try this mod? Because I would like to see what it looks like before I put it on my phorum.
Thanx

Well it looks like this:

"5 new"

instead of this

"new"

(in red by default of course, and 5 can be anything between 1 and n)

Hi....
How does $langs[$langkey]['single'] (/ multiple) works? Where should i add something (possibly to lang file) to use this feature?
