Unread post count in Categories tab

Phizinza

Is there a way to add a unread topic count to the forums in the Categorie tab so people know where to look if they only want to read new material?

This isn't exactly the same, but there's a "New Discussion" filter extension. It displays only discussions with unread comments. But it shows discussions from all categories.

I don't see the tab you're talking about. Maybe it's a specific template.
You mean on this kind of page, unread topics for each category? Or the "categories" tab between "discussions" and "search"?

Yes, in there I would like a unread post count. I plan on removing the discussions tab and putting a front page of some other type. But I want my users to be able to look only in the categories they want and need too.

[-Stash-] posted this this in another thread too """ From the discussions page: <li id="Discussion_5577" class="Discussion Read NoNewComments Category_13"> <li id="Discussion_6748" class="Discussion Unread NewComments Category_10 Alternate"> From the categories page: <li id="Category_10" class="Category UnblockedCategory FirstCategory Category_10"> <li id="Category_7" class="Category UnblockedCategory Category_7 Alternate"> Seems we're missing "Read" and "Unread" on the categories - but you can certainly have the alternating colours already :) Perhaps we could add the Read/Unread thing to the list of wishes for the next release of Vanilla?
