Question New Posts Count Wrong

Thanks for your support.

This problem is a nuisance, especially to someone like me who remains logged into this forum for hours on end, where the new post indicator is wrong on a couple of levels. I referred this topic to the development team and we kicked the can for a couple of minutes without really achieving any definite consensus view. I put this into the things-I-can-live-with-because-this-is-a-free-product category instead of the things-I-need-to-save-up-$5,000-for-in-order-to-save-20-seconds-extra-effort category.

Yes sozzled that is the same thing with me on my website. I do have something that might help others since it helped me before the 1.5.23 version.

I created a "Custom" Module, named it "REFRESH" and placed it in the "Bottom" module position. Open up your html source and add the following java script:

<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
/*
Auto Refresh Page with Time script
By JavaScript Kit (javascriptkit.com)
Over 200+ free scripts here!
*/

//enter refresh time in "minutes:seconds" Minutes should range from 0 to inifinity. Seconds should range from 0 to 59
var limit="5:15"

if (document.images){
var parselimit=limit.split(":")
parselimit=parselimit[0]*60+parselimit[1]*1
}
function beginrefresh(){
if (!document.images)
return
if (parselimit==1)
window.location.reload()
else{
parselimit-=1
curmin=Math.floor(parselimit/60)
cursec=parselimit%60
if (curmin!=0)
curtime=curmin+" minutes and "+cursec+" seconds left until page refresh!"
else
curtime=cursec+" seconds left until page refresh!"
window.status=curtime
setTimeout("beginrefresh()",1000)
}
}
function makeDoubleDelegate(function1, function2) {
return function() {
if (function1)
function1();
if (function2)
function2();
}
}

window.onload = makeDoubleDelegate(window.onload, beginrefresh );
// ]]></script>

What this does is refreshes what ever page you set this module to according to the minutes or seconds you specify. This keeps my "kunenalatest" module updated on my site every 5 minutes. Works great and now once again it works thanks to your "response.php" file!

Let me know if this works for you or who ever else decides to try this out.

I am new to Kunena and the site I'm using it on isn't actually live yet, although the mods and admins are using the forum.

So far I'm impressed and Kunena seems to have been a good choice, but I do though think that this is quite an obvious and irritating flaw - in fact no posts count and just a 'new' flag would be better than the incorrect count. I fully take your point about possible-help-from-the-commnunity Sozzled and I haven't contributed anything yet.

I'd therefore like to help fix this, but I'm strapped for time and new to the software so that's not going to come from me directly. Can I therefore sponsor the work to solve this problem? How would I do this? Through you or post a job on vworker or similar?

Hello.
First of all, sorry if this is in a wrong place.My english are poor...

So, I recently installed Kunena 1.7.2 and I am really impressed! It's my first meeting with this forum.
I have a problem with new posts. Perhaps I don't know how this is working;
-I login to my forum
-I see new posts in topics. (green icon)
-I click on "xxNEW" and I go to the first new unread post.
When I return to forum and login again I do all the above, but the "xxNEW" remains the same. In fact if a post have been made after I logoff , I can see it as new but with the others posts I have allready read.
For example I see "2 NEW", I read them, then logoff, when logon back and there have been one post added, I see "3 NEW" instead of "1 NEW".

Am I missing something? Perhaps a plugin or something else...?

G'day, alsthom, and welcome to Kunena.

Please see my explanation in msg #3 above. I think you will find answers to your question here.

So If I understand correctly, this has to do with the joomla version that I am using? By the way I am using joomla 1.5.26.
Should I update to J2.5?
