CountUnreadComments is not counted properly

johansonlocker

when I - by url where page "\p1" is set - open the multipage discussion with notification about some new comments

counter is reset by formula "$all_comments - $comments_on_page1".

How to modify it to count correctly?

maybe this will help you, if you look at the code.

peregrine,

Thank you a lot, but the problem is in the "forgetness" of vanilla CountCommentWatch and CountUnreadComments algorithm.

It forgets about already read comments after adding a new comment in other browser. It shows incremented by one counter . But forgets.

I go by link to page one of discussion and have UNREAD COMMENTS in all other pages!

then while i haven't add one more comment - algorithm remembers which comments are already read and which are not.

Something is wrong in comment.model or in discussion.model

johansonlocker

well, the solution is to comment the condition

in file forum\applications\vanilla\models\class.commentmodel.php

         //if ($CountWatch > $TotalComments) {
            $CountWatch = $TotalComments;
            $NewComment = TRUE;
         //}

this erases all news in any case - when you watch new comments or you watch the first page.
