Is there a way to show on categories page that there are new topics or comments in a category. Not how much, just a little "new" or something that i can see that in this category is a new topic or comment. Like it is in "normal" forums.
Thank you for your help. The Latest Discussion Prime extension shows only the latest discussions. I like to show the unread discussions/comments for members who are loged in the forum like the small "New xx" in every discussion in the "Discussions" page.
Is there only one unread discussion/comment for a member in a category so it should show a small "new" in the categorie on "Categrories" page.
Okay, but how can i show a "new" on every category when there is a new discussion or comment in it for the member? This extension shows it in the sidebar like it is in "Diskussions" page. Not very usefull for me. I need it directly in the "Categories" page. It is like i said, i am not a PHP freak, so please can somebody help me.
Here the first category from this forum and the "new" i would like to have it:
The reason for this is my visitors likes the categories page as starting page in the forum. So they should see in which category are new discussion/comment since last visit. Like it is in other forums. Some visitors are interessted only in one or some category, so they don´t like to search in the discussions page for topics with the right category.
With the Latest Discussion Prime extension they only see a part of it.
I have used the Latest Discussion Prime extension as a guide to make one that shows by the same information by Category. I can't figure out how to add this information to the Category list. If someone else could advise me, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, I will upload this shortly.
Edit: I have a version of the Category list working now on my forum. If you would like to check it out, I would appreciate any feedback.
I take a look on it, but it is not the right one for me.
Is there no why to look in the database and check if there is a unread comment in a category and display beside the category-name a little "new" in that case?
Please help me, i will switch from my SMF to Vanilla. I searched the last days for alternativ forums, but there are only overloaded monsters with horrible code :-(
Vanilla is the best, but my visitors require the categories view as startpage - with "new" display besite the category.
I am needing a solution to this very problem. I know this thread is pretty old but if you still have that modified categories.php file it would be a huge help.
