"New Discussion" tag on entirely unread discussions

edited August 2014 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

So we're looking at the Discussion list in Vanilla 2.1 stable, with the default theme, and we see this:

And we've one conversation where there are thirty comments, out of which we haven't seen three (which we know from the bright yellow tag/count).

And we have one conversation where we haven't seen any comments. Which we only know us is unread from the subtle not-gray background, but not much else.

So Instead: On the completely unread, never-been-viewed conversation, I'd like to have a similarly formatted yellow-background message that says something like "New Discussion!"

Anyone have a good suggestion about where I'd need to make that sort of change?

    not sure what you mean.

    unless you want something like this

    HasNew, .JustNew {
    display: inline;
    margin-right: 5px;
}

    Using the image above: On the first discussion, I'd like to see - right after "5 comments" - a yellow-background thing that says "New Discussion!" that basically looks like the "3 new" bit in the second discussion.

    you chould see new popping up with above change.

    and translate the new with definitions.

    $Definition['new discussion'] = 'new discussion';

    Basically, peering at Firebug, I'd like to replace this:

    <span class="MItem MCount DiscussionScore Hidden">
<strong class="HasNew JustNew NewCommentCount" title="You haven't read this yet.">new</strong>

    With something like this:

    <strong class="HasNew NewCommentCount" title=“All new discussion!.">
All New!
</strong>

    But I'm not sure where that happens.

    Ahh, after I posted my replies I realized you'd answered my questions.

    I'd like to change the "new" to something, but your css fix totally does what I was hoping for, in terms of formatting it.

    Thanks!

    Heh. My order of implementation:

    1. Grab definition.
    2. Put definition in locale.php and save.
    3. Panic when forum, refreshed, comes up entirely blank.
    4. Remember I need to end the damn definition with a semicolon.
    5. Victory!

    Thank you, again.

    Remember I need to end the damn definition with a semicolon.

    I edited and added the semi-colon - so no one else panics. :)

    I handle panic well, in these cases, as long as it's late enough in the day to have a drink...
