Hello hillbillybonez

Does the normal unread-highlightning not work for you? It should work all topics with new posts in it so you can find them easily. After you have read them all, you can mark your forum as read in the overview.

Another way to keep yourself our your users up to date is the notifications functionality which can inform you about new topics.

I seem to be having a hard time to keep track of unread or unanswered posts. On the main page all “unread” icons are blue, regardless of read/unread posts. Also drilling down into every sub-forum is not handy.

Is it maybe possible to get a list of post that were added since last visit with links to the posts ?

cheers,

pete

Decision from Asgaros:

register shortcode

add_shortcode( 'widget', 'my_widget_shortcode' );
  function my_widget_shortcode( $atts ) {
  // Configure defaults and extract the attributes into variables
  extract( shortcode_atts(
    array(
      'type'  => '',
      'title' => '',
    ),
    $atts
  ));
  $args = array(
    'before_widget' => '<div class="box widget">',
    'after_widget'  => '</div>',
    'before_title'  => '<div class="widget-title">',
    'after_title'   => '</div>',
  );
  ob_start();
  the_widget( $type, $atts, $args );
  $output = ob_get_clean();
  return $output;
}

use

[widget type="AsgarosForumRecentPosts_Widget" title="My Title" number="5" target="8"]

Hello foamcube,

this seems to be some kind of caching-issue. I had the same problem on your site but when I refresh the overview of your forum a couple of times, the status suddenly changes. Maybe you can check this.

Hi Yworld…

I am unsure how to add this to my forum. Can anyone help? If I go to my forum “page”  [forum], I see a shortcode button that brings up predetermined shortcodes (button, tabs, section, etc.).

Unsure how to add in this code you posted. (Brand new at this, so pardon my ignorance).

I havent found any step by step instructions in help section, only instructions that think folks know how to use it already, thanks anyone if you can point to some “noob” instructions…
