The Forum Refresh Release - "New" display mode not displaying search or filters 5 replies

Hi ST,

You're looking in the wrong place.  Note that the announcement says

In your control panel for the UBB Forum module

But your screenshots are of the Home Module. 

Have a look at https://www.bosepro.community/g/portable/topics  and you'll see the search and view tabs, then look at the control panel setting page for the UBBForum Module within the Portable Group.

Hi, Dave.

Thanks for the reply.

I did make the change in the UBB section.

I expected the change to show up on the home page when I configured it to show Forum Topics

I see that a member can navigate to

https://www.bosepro.community/g/portable/topics 

The Forum Topics on the Home Page looks like this:

https://www.bosepro.community/g/portable 

Following the steps to get to https://www.bosepro.community/g/portable/topics 

gives me this.

What I really need is a button on the home page called "Unread" or "New since last visit" that displays only those posts. I can add the button myself, if you can give me a link that would do it.

Possible?

ST

ST,

"I expected the change to show up on the home page when I configured it to show Forum Topics"

Again, you made a change to the UBBForum module, then went to the Home Page module and expected to see a change.  The Home Page module (which in all actuality is just a bunch of widgets) has not had any changes made to it.  The changes that were made for this release is strictly within the UBBForum module layout.

There is not a read or unread, or new since last visit mechanism for the Home Page module's Forum Topics block as is it is really just a nonintelligent list of the last x many posts made and some supporting meta data for them.

But that would be a good suggestion post, if you would.

Hi, Dave.

Yup - I made the incorrect assumption that the Forum Topics widget would display the same thing as the All Topics link. But having seen the output of the All Topics link, I'm glad that it doesn't.

I'm sure I made the suggestion about a "New" or "Unread Topics" button years ago. I'll see if I can find it.

Just in case I missed it - is there a way to use Advanced Search function to find only unread topics since the last visit?

Thanks,

ST

I knew that if I bopped you about the head with that often enough you would get it.  

I'll check for a quick way to determine read vs unread.
