[Done All Versions] Boardindex fix

[Scorpion]

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but when you are logged in as a member or logged out as a guest, on any yabbse forum, the boardindex changes... It's hard to explain, here's some pictures - take a look at the bottom of the cell which says "mark as read" it dissappears for guests...

Member:


Guest:


Here is the fix for it, this makes the bottom cell appear, and the "mark as read" button to appear only to members.

Open boardindex.php find lines 308-322

Code Select Expand

   if ($username != 'Guest' )
   {
      echo '
               <tr>
                  <td class="titlebg" colspan="6" align="center">
                     <table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
                        <tr>
                           <td align="left">
                              ' . $img['new_some'] . '  
                              ' . $img['new_none'] . '</td>
                           <td align="right">
                              <font size="1"> ';
      if ($showmarkread == 1)
         echo " <a href=\"$scripturl?action=markallasread\">$img[markallread]</a>";
      echo '

replace with:

Code Select Expand

   {
      echo '
               <tr>
                  <td class="titlebg" colspan="6" align="center">
                     <table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
                        <tr>
                           <td align="left">
                              ' . $img['new_some'] . '&nbsp;&nbsp;
                              ' . $img['new_none'] . '</td>
                           <td align="right">
                              <font size="1">&nbsp;';
      if ($showmarkread == 1) if ($username != 'Guest' )
         echo " <a href=\"$scripturl?action=markallasread\">$img[markallread]</a>";

Um, they did that on purpose because all boards/posts are marked as read for guests. And guests cannot use the mark as read function.

So your mod does no good whatsoever.

Oh, I thought it stored a cookie for the guests, for the boards and posts read...

[Chris Cromer]

No, all posts/boards are set to read for guests no matter what.

It's nice to install this if you want to have a common look at all your pages.. but the functions it gives are kinda useless

Something seems not too right with that code.  those two "if" statements strung on like that.  And that first "{" seems to be hanging out there now since the "if" statement was moved.  Not that it matters since as mentioned it really serves no functional purpose.
