Thread Tracking System [library support]

[Wormopolis]

a thread posted in is also a thread viewed, but the way CSS works is the last selector wins. you wont be able to have two images unless you make the image itself be the two images and you do

a.thread-viewed.thread-posted:before

I understand that a thread posted in is also a thread viewed. That isn't the issue - nor is attempting to display both pictures simultaneously for the same thread; that's not what I want either (it'd be a lot of clutter, really).

I'm saying something seems to be wrong with the code such that I can't list both designations and have each display its individual picture as needed.

* If I list Posted first and Viewed second:
-> If they've seen the thread, it's labeled as Viewed.
-> If they've posted in it, it remains incorrectly labeled as Viewed.

* If I list Viewed first and Posted second:
-> If they've seen the thread, it either doesn't get marked at all, or gets incorrectly labeled as Posted in.
-> If they've posted in it, well, it is of course still labeled as Posted in.

I'm saying I seem to be unable to successfully use both designations at the same time.

the CSS has no bearing on how the threads gets reclassed. its completely separate.

how are they posting that it isnt logging posts?

[Ace Of Charts]

Heck if I know. XD

I don't know what's going on. I only know what I see, which, aside from its visual effect on the forum, is limited to the CSS in the stylesheet, since the plugin has zero interface of its own, and merely gives directions.

As far as I can tell, you haven't told me I have any errors in the CSS, so I figure it's correct for the purpose you intended.

So if the CSS is right, given I can change nothing else regarding the plugin, I myself cannot fix it.

The CSS is right, except you need to understand the latter one will override the previous one on posted threads BECAUSE that is the way CSS works (unless what you are changing in each is different). if you have viewed threads show as green, and posted threads showing with an image, then they wouldnt override each other. but if you had viewed threads show as red, and posted threads show as green, then whichever one was second would be the winner.

the plugin doesnt have any interface because ALL it does is add new classes to those thread titles based on what gets stored in your user key..

HOWEVER

in my testing, Im noticing that sometimes when it logs a viewed thread, its also logging a posted thread for no reason.. and I havent figured out why yet. everything should be seperated, but its overwriting itself. so I have to delve deeper.

Question:

I am trying to add this on to my site, and logic tells me to add it in the area for "Thread List" but it doesn't appear to be working. Is there somewhere else I should be adding this Wormopolis

[Wormopolis]

Its a plugin, so you need to add the plugin first. then you setup your styling in the forum CSS part for what you want the thread titles to look like

Is there a way to do this with the users avatar?

[Wormopolis]

I don't get what you mean? You want their avatar to change after you have looked at their profile ?

[Teg]

I will do a layout of what I mean in Photoshop and post a thread in template mods to show you what I mean

I have the plugin, what I need to know is where in the CSS page do I put this info:


to affect all viewed threads CSS, put into your forum CSS:

a.thread-viewed { CSS stuff }

to affect all posted in threads, put

a.thread-posted { CSS stuff }

Board Specific

If you want to make a board different then others, add board id into CSS selector:

a.thread-viewed.board-24 { CSS stuff}

where "24" is whatever board ID you are targetting

[Wormopolis]

at the bottom is the most common. that way you can find it easier.

[dillonk47polik]

I have the plugin installed and enabled; And I added this to the bottom of my style sheet:

a.thread-posted::after {
content:url('http://storage.proboards.com/6228420/i/TTtQ5dBfpvgGrT7Bl4yQ.png');
}

But nothing shows up...
