 Posted: Sat May 03, 2003 6:43 am Post subject: Since Last Visit v2.2 |
 |
|
I've posted version 2.2 of my Since Last Visit hack on my web site. The hack shows how many new posts and comments have been added since the visitor previous visit and indicates which are new.
This release fixes a bug where I wasn't properly ignoring posts/comments in category 0 and that occured in the future.
It's available here.
My other b2 hacks.

Would I be correct in assuming that we simply have to drop in the new b2last_visit.php and all will be well? Upgrade instructions would be nice.

the only changes where made in the 2 queries in the ak_since_last_visit() function, so however you have it set up - get the new queries in there.

That's the error I get >.<
It disappears when I don't include the cookies function, but then so does the "posts since your last visit".
I also noticed that if I leave it as it is the "posts since your last visit" displays, but it always shows 0 posts and 0 comments and the last visit is always equal to the current time and date. Help?

Has some HTML content already been sent before you call the ak_set_last_visit_cookie() function?

| Hey, this hack works great for me, but I was wondering, is there any way to make it consider recently edited posts as well as the newly posted? |

No, there is only a "date_posted" column, no "date_modified" column in the posts table - no way to get the data. You can use the override time stamp feature to change the date/time of a post... but I know that isn't the same thing.

Yep, sorry about that a comment managed to make its way to the top of the page >.<
It's working fine now and I must compliment you on a great hack. I just can't get over those little "NEW" icons =D

| Installed this hack.. quite nice, thanks! One thing though, I noticed that the "new" icon doesn't go away after a refresh, or even after I close the browser. Why is the cookie not being reset? My friends who installed the hack have this similar 'problem' .... one said it takes an hour or so. |

'NEW' is displayed for an hour by design. It would not be a good idea to clear it immediately. For example, if there are 5 new posts and new comments on 6 posts and you follow a link to read one of the posts, then click back to the blog home and all of the 'NEW' indicators are gone, you'd be annoyed.

k that makes sense... although, it's been nearly 2 hours for me, and the 'new' has yet to fade away--made a test post @ 1:48am, and now it is 3:44am....
Is it possible to shorten the length? If so, can you point out to me where exactly? |

There are params to turn off 'sessions' and to set the # hours (it can take fractions) that define a 'session' in the function. If you continue hitting the site, it resets your session's 'start' time. Leave the site for an hour and come back and it will be reset. The default 'session' time is an hour.

this is the error I'm getting:
| Code: | | Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ak_set_last_visit_cookie() in /home/zlee/public_html/spiritual/index.php on line 1 |
ak_set_last_visit_cookie() is right after the include. |

Not to squabble with you, but if you're calling the function after you've included the function and there are no syntax errors, etc. you won't be getting that error.
I don't know what else to tell you based on the information you've provided. Sorry.
