Features / Re: Recents posts as formerly on the board index
« on November 13th, 2011, 04:15 PM »I share that same view... I have yet to use the actual news section in the ACP as we just use a news and announcements board and be done with it
Either way is fine actually and you know me, I'll always be in favour of performance friendly options.
I could, incidentally, do something pretty similar as a WedgeDesk plugin for tickets... hmm...

Indeed; the lick displayed for recent post would be a link to the most recent post in the topic while the [new] icon takes you to where you left off.

'Today' is the default, but yeah, 24 hours is what I actually expect a lot of people to use, especially on forums that have multiple time zone users.

As for recent post I'm for whatever would allow recent topics, with a [new] icon linking to first unread post since I last visited the topic.
I personally dislike recent post since if a topic is active enough all the recent post could be just from that topic and I find the list redundant since I'm likely to read all the posts from where I left off once I visit a topic.

Also, back on the original topic... what about stripping the newsfader from the board index?

It should have left at the end of series 7 or so... but apparently the producers had other ideas.

Nope.
I'm talking about the AJAX/realtime type deal.

In other news, my next little project is a port of my SimpleDesk shoutbox to Wedge (decoupling it from SimpleDesk in the process) and maybe adding some neat features in the process.
More details as and when I'm done with it :)

What I've decided I'm going to do is use the icon as an easter egg. I have also got a proper name for the plugin, too, that has branding and an in-joke all in one :D

It isn't exactly the same as the picture any more; I changed it slightly because I discovered that if the number of visitors was rather high, it would potentially cause the header to wrap, so I made it fit closer to the normal online list.
The code's not the best in the world (it's in my plugins repo if you're interested) and I'm fairly sure it could probably be cached without too much effort, just that I didn't bother doing so at this time.

It's not like I have a list of SMF mods that I want to make or anything :whistle:

OK, had a bit of time this evening and while I worked on a few other things too, I primarily updated my Users Online Today plugin for Wedge.
It now has the ability to display users online not only 'today' (based on server time) but also online in the last 24 hours (from now) or last 7 days (from now), is allowed to be shown to 'anyone', 'anyone signed in', 'admins and global moderators' (based on moderate_forum or admin_forum permissions) or 'admins' (true admins), and lets you reorder by name or time, ascending or descending.
The only thing left to really do with it would be to display the 'last online' time as a hovertext to the links themselves, but other than that... I'm not really that fussed with it to be honest. It all works, it now even has its own admin area to play with, with all of its three options.[1]
That kicks at least three different SMF mods off the possible to-do list, too...
