CODE CHANGE SUGGESTION: All Discussions appear of class Unread for guest users
Hello All,
Brand new here and new to Vanilla 1, I'm really liking it so far though, I got sick of the way that styling unread discussions would apply to all threads for guest users, since they do not have an active session with which to check to see that they had in fact read the discussion. This is annoying when you're trying to do a green background for all discussions with new comments:
This would result in all discussions for a guest user to appear green with my nifty little new logo under the title.
This is another idea that I played with, this got rid of the above problem but presented another, if, while the user was absent, a new post appeared and then somebody replied to it, it was classified as "Unread & NewComments".
SO, I decided another class was necessary for discussions based upon whether the user had an active session. . . easy enough
Going into the "discussion.php" file under the "/themes/" folder, I crammed some code right smack dab into the middle of line 14 so that this:
Became this:
And then I was able to change the CSS to this:
The "ActiveSession" class saves my ass and everything isn't annoying for perspective users. Instead of ALL threads being marked new, only posts that have NoReplies are styled new for the guest user.
This should probably be in the main release, it would make me happy at least. Until such time it will go into the theme I'm intending on posting here once complete.
Your Humble Servant,
