I'd like to make an addon which gives you the unreaded posts. And in the "home" of forums you can see the "unread image" next to the name of the forum if there's any post that you haven't already seen.

I hope you understand what I mind, a lot of thanks.

I don't know how to do it and I think it's important, because when I enter to my forum I have to review the dates of the posts in "LAST 10 posts".


¡Thanks a lot!

I've thought about that, but...
1. If the forum is not busy, then the latest posts does a good job
2. If the forum is busy, there's a good chance most forum will have new topics/replies.
With the next version, I think it will be possible to make such a feature (newer system for detecting new posts), but there are other problems, like where to show whether a forum has new topic/replies? SEO-Board is designed to fit in all kinds of designs and have fewer columns, and I am not sure how to add such an indicator without making additional columns. I might make a [new] indicator besides the forum name, just like with the post titles. I'll think about it.

Thank you. I think it will be nice because now you have to look each date in each post to see if they are new.

I hope this forums become very popular!

Uh, sorry... I'd like to change the [new] text for an image, but if I tried to type <img src=img.gif> in the array new of the variable but it gives me an error, this one:

Code:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /hsphere/local/home/enriccus/leparkour.es/lang/es.php:1) in /hsphere/local/home/enriccus/leparkour.es/foro.php on line 17


I'd like to put an image and I don't know how to do it. ¡Thankyou!

You have put probably a space before the opening <?php line which causes the error. Make sure there are no spaces outside the <?php and ?>

I've been trying to do it for hours, but I couldn't. I like to have that feature, or to have an idea to programme it. I It's because most users tellme that is difficult to find newest messages.

It is complicated to do and requires a lot of rewriting, and a good deal of rethinking it. A bit lame but probably the easiest way is to pull the last 100 topics (use the latest posts code) and then iterate through them to generate the latest posts html and simultaneuosly mark the forum_ids that have newer posts  and then show them
