[Done 1.5.2] SearchNew Mod v.09

[Forge]

I haven't been on here in a while, and I can't find any of my other posts about my mod, so here goes everything from scratch...

My SearchNew mod allows registered users to track and display new messages in a tree-like format.  Here is a sample output from my site:



The mod adds a "SearchNew" icon on the main toolbar.  The output will show any messages that the user hasn't seen.  Clicking on a link will open the topic in a new window and jump to the selected message.  As you can see from the image, the mod allows users to mark messages/topic/board as read right from the interface.  The idea here is that the user can read the first line to tell if they want to skip the thread or not.  The user can also mark the thread as "ignored."  This will cause any new messages posted in the next 7 days to not appear in this output.  If the user manually visits that thread, the ignored status will be reset.  Also at the end of 7 days any new messages posted will appear in the results again.



YABBPak
The YABBPak version is available on my site.  To setup this version, you should add my server.  Go to YABBPak Center, click "Download new Yabbpaks."  Add my server as:

Forge's Search New
http://www.flakshack.com/yabbse/Packages

There are 3 versions out there now, one for yabbse 1.3, one for yabbse 1.4, and one for yabbse 1.5.2.  Make sure you download the correct version for your board.  Once you have added it, click on "Browse" then click on "Download."  Now go back to YABBPak Center and click Browse YABBPaks.  Click "Apply Mod."

I have tested the Pak version on a new install of YABBSE 1.4 and it works fine.  If you have installed any other mods, you'll obviously want to run through the "test" before applying the changes.

I'll check this thread for the next day or two, but after a while, if you have any questions or problems, please feel free to email me @ [email protected].

Hey Forge,

it works fine here, but there is a little problem when used with the today/yesterday mod. Check your mail.

[Daniel D.]

That's an awsome mod, but there are so many "Mark as read" buttons. For what ?

[joker]

You can mark individual posts, threads, board sections  or all as read.

[Forge]

In the postings-list, there are %-signs befor the dates

like this: %01.%04.%2002

I think they appear because i am using the today mod
(inkluding 'today' and 'yesterday')

I guess that makes sense, since I wrote my own timeformat() function (called mytimeformat()) instead of calling it from Subs.php.  The reason I used my own is because the date/time format that is good for the rest of the board, takes up a little too much space in my tree-view.

I should point out though, that it does work fine though on a normal YABBSE 1.3.0 board without that mod (at least on my board).

Since I don't have that mod installed, can you maybe post your timeformat function with that mod's changes (I'm assuming that's where they put them).  Thanks.

Here's the timeformat  with a bugfix from my Sub.php

Code Select Expand

//Fix by Omar Bazavilvazo
function lang_strftime($currtime) {
   global $locale, $days, $months, $days_short, $months_short, $username, $settings, $timeformatstring;

   if ($username == 'Guest' || $settings[17]=='')
      $str = stripslashes($timeformatstring);
   else
      $str = stripslashes($settings[17]);

   if (setlocale(LC_TIME, $locale)) {
      $str = ereg_replace('%a', ucwords(strftime('%a', $currtime)), $str);
      $str = ereg_replace('%A', ucwords(strftime('%A', $currtime)), $str);
      $str = ereg_replace('%b', ucwords(strftime('%b', $currtime)), $str);
      $str = ereg_replace('%B', ucwords(strftime('%B', $currtime)), $str);
   }
   else {
      $str = ereg_replace('%a', $days_short[(int)strftime('%w',$currtime)], $str);
      $str = ereg_replace('%A', $days[(int)strftime('%w',$currtime)], $str);
      $str = ereg_replace('%b', $months_short[(int)strftime('%m',$currtime)-1], $str);
      $str = ereg_replace('%B', $months[(int)strftime('%m',$currtime)-1], $str);
      $str = ereg_replace('%p', (int)strftime('%H',$currtime)<12?"am":"pm", $str);
   }

   return strftime($str, $currtime);
}

function timeformat ($logTime){
global $timeformatstring,$username,$settings,$timeoffset,$txt,$db_prefix,$locale;
if (!isset($GLOBALS['todayMod']))
{
// pre-load variable so we don't query too much
$req = mysql_query("SELECT value FROM {$db_prefix}settings WHERE variable='todayMod'");
list($GLOBALS['todayMod'])=mysql_fetch_row($req);
}
$time = isset($settings[18])?$settings[18]:0;
$time = ($timeoffset+$time)*3600;
$nowtime = $time+time();
$time += $logTime;
if ($GLOBALS['todayMod']=='1')
{
$t1 = getdate($time);
$t2 = getdate($nowtime);
$strtfmt = (($username == 'Guest' || $settings[17]=='')?$timeformatstring:$settings[17]);
if ($t1['yday']==$t2['yday'] && $t1['year']==$t2['year'])
return $txt['yse10'].date(substr_count($strtfmt, "%H") == 0?" h:i:sa":" H:i:s", $time); //Bugfix by Omar Bazavilvazo
if ($t1['yday']==($t2['yday']-1) && $t1['year']==$t2['year'])
return $txt['yse10b'].date(substr_count($strtfmt, "%H") == 0?" h:i:sa":" H:i:s", $time); //Bugfix by Omar Bazavilvazo
}
return lang_strftime ($time);
}

I loved the gold version and i like very much this new one forge

[tazthedev]

great mod !!!

maybe a little ... kinda bug...

when a user start a new thread and next, he's going to click on the button search|new .... he will see his own post (new thread) in the list (there's no replies at this moment).... its not a big problem... but it is for me ...

As a work around, you could change the code on the Post.php form so that once the post is made, it redirects back to the post instead of to the Message index.  This way, the user visits the thread and it is marked as read as soon as they post it.  This is the way YABB Gold did it, and that's probably why you noticed the difference.

Not sure how to do this.  I initially suspected it would just involve uncommenting/commenting the following code in Post2() that says:

Code Select Expand

   //$yySetLocation = "$cgi;action=display;num=$thread;start=$start";
   $yySetLocation = "$cgi";
   redirectexit();

But that generates a wierd error:

Code Select Expand

2: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource
(d:\fu\yabbse\Sources\Display.php ln 57)
Maybe someone else can give a tip on this?

Any chance you guys will include it in a future version?  That would be great.

Code Select Expand

   //$yySetLocation = "$cgi;action=display;num=$thread;start=$start";
   $yySetLocation = "$cgi";
   redirectexit();


I changed this to:

Code Select Expand

   $yySetLocation = "$cgi;board=$board;action=display;threadid=$thread";
//   $yySetLocation = "$cgi";
   redirectexit();

because my users prefer to review the thread.
it workes fine in V1.3.1. here.

[tazthedev]

Thanks, will try this
