Topic: sub forums question

i have sub forums installed and have a question.

if you click on a forum in the index, you will be taken to that forum and the sub forums.

if you post in one of the sub forums, how can you make the little square on the index change colour  to show new posts have been made in one of the subforums?

thanks

Re: sub forums question

don't think this is implemented. perhaps request it in the Sub Forums Mod thread? someone who has a little bit of time will fix it to do so at some point hopefully.

Re: sub forums question

I understand what you're saying and this is something I asked for in the thread naitkris provided you with. What the author did for me was to show the date with a link of any new posts that reside in the sub-forums. I would think it would be far to much coding to implement what you're asking for. This is just my opinion. Also, your requests will confuse users because how would they know that the new post is in the parent or the sub?

Re: sub forums question

it takes a lot of coding just to change the colour of the square when someone posts in a subforum?

Re: sub forums question

FIND

    if ($cur_forum['moderators'] != '')
    {
        $mods_array = unserialize($cur_forum['moderators']);
        $moderators = array();

        while (list($mod_username, $mod_id) = @each($mods_array))
            $moderators[] = '<a href="profile.php?id='.$mod_id.'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($mod_username).'</a>';

        $moderators = "\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t".'<p><em>('.$lang_common['Moderated by'].'</em> '.implode(', ', $moderators).')</p>'."\n";
    }

AFTER, ADD

            if (!empty($sfdb))
            {
                foreach ($sfdb as $sub_forums)
                {
                    if ($cur_forum['fid'] == $sub_forums[0] && !$pun_user['is_guest'] && $sub_forums[5] > $pun_user['last_visit'])
                    {
                        $item_status = 'inew';
                        $icon_text = $lang_common['New icon'];
                        $icon_type = 'icon inew';
                    }
                }
            }
