Recent topics / new marker

Hi !
I have converted to Yabbse from Yabb Gold, and there is one feature that my members miss very much.

It's the "new" indicator on the recent topics....
When using it on my frontpage, it used to display a "new" marker, but since i installed YabbSE it don't do that anymore.

Is there any way of implementing it ?

I know that it should be done in the SSI.php file but that's all i know  ;D

I think the feature is from yabb Gold/headlines mod.

Well the New showed up but even if i read the post it would stay on.....

It will also show up even if i am a guest....

Btw. is there a way to exclude a certain board from being listed in the recent topics ??
My News (announcement board) don't belong there...

If you can get this thing working you will be a very popular man on my site  ;D ;D

The Snip thing is great 8)

Okay here it is and I tested it to makes sure it works.

Made it into a two step install process.

  • Make sure the $full_yabbse_path is set right

  • When using SSI.php maker sure the file you are calling the functions from have the full path to the SSI.php file at the very top before the <html> tag. Line 1
Example: if your $full_yabbse_path is:
$full_yabbse_path = "/hsphere/local/home/yoursite/yoursite.com/forum";
//Notice: there is no trailing slash!

Then the top of the file you are showing recentTopics in should have this on line 1
<? require("/hsphere/local/home/yoursite/yoursite.com/forum/SSI.php"); ?>

Edit the following lines in SSI.php then upload to your server.

FIND:
Code Select
   $showlatestcount = 10;
   $showBoard = 1;   // set to 1 to show the board the topic belongs to
   $showPoster = 1; // set to 1 to show the poster
   $showTime = 1;   // set to 1 to show the time of the post
/****************   DO NOT MODIFY ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE!   ****************/
include_once ($full_yabbse_path."/Settings.php");
include_once ($full_yabbse_path."/".$language);
include_once ($full_yabbse_path."/Sources/Subs.php");
include_once ($full_yabbse_path."/Sources/Load.php");
$dbcon = mysql_connect($db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd);
mysql_select_db($db_name);

$types_to_register = array('GET','POST','COOKIE','SESSION','SERVER');
  foreach ($types_to_register as $type) {
    $arr = @${'HTTP_' . $type . '_VARS'};
    if (@count($arr) > 0) {
      extract($arr, EXTR_OVERWRITE);
    }
  }

/* ### Log this click ### */
ClickLog();

/* ### Load the user's cookie (or set to guest) ### */
LoadCookie();

LoadUserSettings();

Is now located in the recentTopic function. Make sure you change this to your likings.
