Wouldn't that just be a matter of changing the SQL to a <> instead of an = ? I haven't looked so I don't know.

Heh no, sorry. Newflags are much more complicated than a simple <> or = query.

I guess one could use the query which is used on the index-page for showing the newcount to retrieve the new messages for *a given* forum. but I didn't look at it and for all forums you would still need a query per forum.

So I would need to iterate through all forums, leaving out those which the current user has no visibility. Makes sense.

So you just create a link like this [www.hdrpg.com] on your page and that's it!

That's helpful!

Thanks

Not quite it. Follow the installation instructions and it will work for you. I made a slight modification to allow for viewing more than 10, 25, 50 posts, and I wanted some different functionality too.

I have a couple of questions on this mod...

1. Can the output be sorted by forum then by date? If so, how? I'm not reeeeeaaaaallll good at using arrays.

2. Can messages that have already been read be filtered out? I figured out how to do this in the template but it screws up the number of post that are shown per page. How would you do this in the php code?

Thanks

#1

i figure it would work to just build the array like...

forum_posts[forum_id][post_id] = post

then to get them out it's like

foreach forum_posts as forum_id => posts
foreach posts as post_id => post

endforeach
endforeach

#2

not sure

this add on seems to not work with the real_names module.

is it maybe missing a needed hook or something?

The real_name module needs to know what to rewrite in the page. The latest version of the mod has a compact rewriting language (see the rewrite rules file) which defines what to rewrite.

I haven't looked at that template in awhile.
Turns out I must have altered it a long time ago due to some users have really long names and messing up the display.

for the author name in the newest template I have put this..

<?php print substr($PHORUM["TMP"]["ROWS"]["author"],0,14); ?>

This should give me a substring of exactly what is stored in the author field.
However, it seems the real_name mod does not actually save the real_name in the author field of the database table.

why is that? is there any reason why the author field of p5_message has to be the p5_users.username? I would have thought the user_id would be enough for anything important.
