I'm just adding this plug-in now, but I can't work-out the '$resetReadLink' requirement...

I've checked with the compiler, and the demo forum, but no help there.

What am I missing in my understanding of the instructions to add the HTML code???

:o(

$resetReadLink is located in bb_plugins.php code. You may adjust it's HTML to the way you're seeing it (if you need to change it).

That's the bit I don't understand... change what?
I can't see 'Mark All Messages Read' anywhere after installing the plug-in.

What an I missing?

In which template did you paste {$resetReadLink} ?

I should give this question to you. I don't understand (again) what are you trying to achieve.

Ah - that's the bit I was missing!!!

Pasting the {$resetReadLink} into a template!
That just wasn't obvious to me - as I am an idiot!!!

Pk - got that working now...

But, I am now getting the following error message:

Warning: substr() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/digitalp/public_html/7-dna.com/forums/bb_plugins.php on line 592

Line 592 in bb_plugins.php is:

if(substr($_COOKIE[$cookiename.'_tread'], '_')==0) {

From within the code block:

if(!isset($_COOKIE[$cookiename.'_mslv'])) $mslvPoint=0;
else $mslvPoint=(int)$_COOKIE[$cookiename.'_mslv'];

if($action=='vthread' and $topicData[9]>$mslvPoint){

$currtopics=array();

if(!isset($_COOKIE[$cookiename.'_tread'])){
$treadVal=$topic.'-'.$topicData[9];
}
elseif(preg_match("#[0-9_-]
+#", $_COOKIE[$cookiename.'_tread'])){
if(substr($_COOKIE[$cookiename.'_tread'], '_')==0) {
$q=explode('-', $_COOKIE[$cookiename.'_tread']);
$currtopics[$q[0]]=$q[1];
}
else {
$ct=explode('_', $_COOKIE[$cookiename.'_tread']);
foreach($ct as $cc){
$q=explode('-', $cc);
$currtopics[$q[0]]=$q[1];
}
So, I guess it's a cookie issue???
(But with this I really am dumb, and have no idea!!!)

I've been working on this all evening, and getting nowhere...

;o(

Is this a problem of my own making, or something different???
All info I can find regarding the error message suggests a code issue, but I am really none the wiser.

If it helps, the 'warning' only shows when looking at actual discussion threads, not on any other forum pages.

And when on a discussion page with the warning showing, clicking on 'Mark All Discussions/Post Read', (so clearing the cookies?) removes the warning...

Let's not forget you're dealing with open source program, which comes with 0% warranty...
It seems you have found a bug in this add-on, congratulations :)

Try to replace this string of code:

if(substr($_COOKIE[$cookiename.'_tread'], '_')==0) {
with this:

if(substr_count($_COOKIE[$cookiename.'_tread'], '_')==0) {
Let me know if it helped... thanks.

Thanks for the code suggestion.. I am trying now!
Will let you know the results.

Don't be too critical to yourself ;-)
Every day I'm getting a chance to be caught by the same assuming, too.
But this is just a life's process. Learning never stops :-)

And the fix is working!

Thanks ;o)

Great! I've fixed this in the default add-on now.
Thank you, for discovering.

Paul, another question regarding this plug-in...

Can we add the 'Unread Message' icon (the green circle) to main forum list, to indicate there are new post within a specific forum?

See: http://www.7-dna.com/forums/index.php
It would be great to know if there are new discussion in 'Chatting', or 'Spannering' etc...

;o)

I think it could be possible, but unfortunately, I don't have time for a free work these days.
There is no easy way for this, the add-on needs to be heavily extended...
