Another hack

[Ian]

It works on every page apart from the CMPS index page and I can't for the life of me figure out why (Please help Brian :))

This is the hack: New posts and threads v.2 (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=66058)

I'm trying to add the post bit into the navbar.

I appreciate it's not really your problem, but it's not really the other guys either as it works fine on every page in vB itself.

The first picture shows the the CMPS page, the second pages within vb.

In your forum/includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php file look for:

global $vboptions, $vba_options, $vbphrase, $stylevar, $bbuserinfo, $show, $pmbox;

Replace that with:

global $vboptions, $vba_options, $vbphrase, $stylevar, $bbuserinfo, $show, $pmbox, $newposts;

And that should fix the problem. :)

Works like a charm, well, apart from it reports 1 new post, when on the other pages it says 13 ;)

Any ideas on that one Brian?

And thanks a lot for the fix above too :)

[Brian]

Strange... Try this instead. Look for:
function construct_adv_navbar($navbits = '', $index = 'false')
{
global $vboptions, $vba_options, $vbphrase, $stylevar, $bbuserinfo, $show, $pmbox;


And remove it. Then just below that find:
return $navbar;
}


And remove that as well.

That's fixed it, thanks a lot (again) Brian :)

[Ian]

Me again, having the same problem with the new version, and I can't spot the above code to make the same change.

[Brian]

Add 'newposts' to your 'Portal Output Global Variables' option.

[Ian]

That fixed it not appearing at all, but the same problem as in post 3 of this thread is happening now though.

[Brian]

Try adding 'newthreads' there as well and see if that helps.

[Ian]

I don't use that part of the hack, I just use the $newposts part.

[Brian]

Do you have the 'Show new posts' option enabled for the welcomeblock? That module uses $newposts as the variable, so it may be that the two are clashing.

[Ian]

I do, I've changed the variable name for the navbar and now all is good.

Thanks for you guidance master :)
