hmm; could this be expanded to do the same when viewing a discussion list (main page, or specific category), and also search results? (Well I know it could, but will it?)

Lussumo Bot · May 2008

Uploaded version 0.8 of New Post Notifier.

rayk · May 2008

Ooh, sounds like a very nice extension if you have a busy forum. I'll test it out when mine grows :)

Wanderer · May 2008

Bummer, it requires 1.1.4!

Will update soon.

castis · May 2008

I'm not positive whether or not 1.1.4 is required. I just havnt been able to test it on others. I'm sure it will work farther down the line though.

Wanderer · May 2008

Tried it (on 1.1.2), it didn't work, caused errors elsewhere, dumped it.

fysicsluvr · May 2008

ouch.

not that much has changed from 1.1.2 to 1.1.4, has it?

Wanderer · May 2008

Apparently some new "hooks" have been added so if an extension relies on these it will fail with previous versions.

castis · May 2008

where could I get an earlier version of vanilla?

Minisweeper · May 2008

www.lussumo.com/downloads I believe.

circuit · May 2008

ooh, if this worked with the private messages extension, it'd be awesome.

circuit · May 2008

anyone know how much extra traffic this generates? how many queries does it send back to the server?

castis · May 2008

this sends

SELECT `CountComments`
FROM `Discussion`
WHERE `DiscussionID` = '%DiscussionID%'

to the sql server once every 10 seconds.

miquel · May 2008

every 10 seconds? could it be configurable by admin?

circuit · May 2008

agreed; i would like to have it switched on, but my internet traffic at work is monitored, so if i could take it down a little, that would be good.

Sixy · May 2008

Weird, this is a adding a tiny version of my forum to the bottom left corner of my forum. It's also not displaying any text in the box, and the box is shown reguardless of a new post being made. Also the title is rendering as html...

Any ideas?

WallPhone · May 2008

Sixy: try re-uploading it. It's probably missing it's ajax file.

Sixy · May 2008

Nope, it's in there. It works kinda except the problems I stated: 1. Mini version of my forum anchored to it. 2. No New Post notification in the box in the bottom left corner. 3. The box in the bottom left corner is visible at all times. 4. When a new post is made it adds the time to the title bar, but like this: <span>3 seconds</span> 5. When a new post is not made its making the title the entire html of that page. *sigh*

sixy, i've come across this too, but only on some threads (not very many at all, really), and it goes away if you edit a post within that thread. i thought it had something to do with a last active time stamp for the threads, but heck, i dunno :)

castis, you have an account with me, i think, if you want to check it out.

yesahasureok · August 2008

any news here? would be great .

yesahasureok · August 2008

btw, just a quick...

does this extension work for anyone ?

chris · August 2008

yes, it works.

yesahasureok · August 2008

hey chris

thanks for your reply, could you tell me which other extensions you have activated as well ?

chris · August 2008

too many to mention. what do you have running on the discussion pages that you think may be causing this to not work?

yesahasureok · August 2008

good question but i have no clue , probably a 3d party theme issue?

yesahasureok · August 2008

well i disabled all extensions, end enabled them all , and it works now also for me :)

i guess this would be more useful in combination with the private messages extension, and also when this popup appears everywhere "you've got a new messge - ringding".

[-Stash-] · August 2008

...could also have been an "extension order conflict". These do crop up from time to time...

circuit · August 2008

doesn't work on my forum. no errors, no weird boxes, just nothing.

chris · September 2008

very strange!

dav12028 · February 2009

Same here not working; vanbook theme

Howdy, Stranger!
