Can I make unread topics highlighted?
« on: Feb 01, 2012, 07:21:57 »
I've recently upgraded my forum to SMF 2.0.2 and am using the Silentwave theme.  I browsed the first 7 pages of this section looking for an answer, and also search the stickies and used the search function but could not locate an answer.

The most current SMF mod I used with 1.1.16 for highlighting unread thread topics does not seem to be compatible, so I was wondering if there is another way to make this modification.  I just want unread topics and topics with new posts since the last visit to somehow show that this is the case.  The previous mod I had installed show unread topics as dark/bold and read topics a bit lighter/not bold.

I also had another question but didn't want to start two separate threads right in a row.  I was wondering if there's a way to put a little more space between each thread in the list of thread titles within a section.  They seem a little cluttered and hard to keep track of being as closely spaced as they are.

Thank you for your help.  Hopefully I didn't miss the obvious answers somewhere in my search.

I will have to look into your first issue but for the second, find this in index.css:
Code: [Select]
table.table_grid td
{
padding: 3px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;
border-right: 1px solid #fff;
}

and adjust the "border-bottom" number "1px" to your desired spacing.  ;)
I no longer work here. Please stop sending me messages asking for premium theme support. That is what the Support Boards are for. Thank You!

I installed the mod on my test forum by emulating the package and it seems to be working perfectly fine now. :)

Here's how you emulate the package:
Go to Admin > Package Manager (Packages) and on the bottom-right corner of the screen you'll see an Advanced link. Click on that and type "SMF 2.0" in the text field.
Now upload the "Highlight Unread Topics" mod and install it. Once you're done installing the package go back to Advanced, click Revert and save. There's one error that pops up during installation but that can be fixed by manually editing MessageIndex.template.php file. Although I didn't make any edits after installation and yet it seems to be working fine but yet you'll have to fix that error coz it might cause problems later on. Here's a link to my test forum to see the mod in effect >| http://www.superheroalliance.tk/index.php?board=1.0

If you need further help with this please feel free to PM me after all that's what I'm here for ;) :)

Wedge is the way to go
