Guys,

the session handling has been completely rewritten. Jerry's note is referencing the old way of session management. I was just pointing out some further improvements that we are planning on making.

This is a know limitation of the current design. Its listed in the wiki and release nots as well as on Tracker as Intra Session NEW Indicator Issue.

The problem is that the current design marks an entire thread as read, without any information on what the latest post was.

Your test would work if you would wait 30 min before switching back to the original user - this will trigger a new session and will reset all markers on threads.

So for folks visiting your site a few times a day, it will work. Only Intra-session new posts will not make it onto their list.

We will be fixing this in a future release but we are focusing on bigger issues right now.

Thx!

Actually, this one is fixed in my post.php somewhere in this thread. Just install that patch and this issue is over (also in fxstein work - 1.0.4).

Note: There is small performance penalty of using it... there should be separate table (userid:int,readtopic:int) with indexes on both columns to overcome it.

jerry,

May I recommend you read the thread in Dec? The whole session management was rewritten due to several issues and even security risks with it.

Hi

I tested fxsteins fireboard.php file and i´m so glad with it.
Now i want to make a friend happy and want to patch his FB 1.0.3 (Joomla 1.0.12)

The only problem is, that he use the cbe.

I compared the old and new fireboard.php files and think i found the code lines i need to paste in the new file.
[code:1]// Include the Community Builder language file if necessary and set CB itemid value
$cbitemid = 0;

if ($fbConfig['cb_profile'])
{
// $cbitemid = JBgetCBprofileItemid();
// Include CB language files
/* $UElanguagePath = $mainframe->getCfg('absolute_path') . '/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/language';
$UElanguage = $mainframe->getCfg('lang');

if (!file_exists($UElanguagePath . '/' . $mosConfig_lang . '/' . $mosConfig_lang . '.php')) {
$UElanguage = 'default_language';
}

include_once ($UElanguagePath . '/' . $UElanguage . '/' . $UElanguage . '.php');
*/

// Phil_K added switch based on detection of CBEs second config file to choose between CBE or CB
// could also be reversed to detect default_language.php in CBs plugin/language/ dir as CBE does not have that one
if (file_exists($mainframe->getCfg('absolute_path').'/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/enhanced_admin/enhanced_config.php')) {
$UElanguagePath = $mainframe->getCfg('absolute_path') . '/components/com_comprofiler/enhanced/fb_forum/language';
$UElanguage = $mainframe->getCfg('lang');

if (!file_exists($UElanguagePath . '/'. $mosConfig_lang . '.php'))
{
$UElanguage = 'english';
}
include_once ($UElanguagePath . '/' . $UElanguage . '.php');
} else {
$UElanguagePath = $mainframe->getCfg('absolute_path') . '/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/language';
$UElanguage = $mainframe->getCfg('lang');
if (!file_exists($UElanguagePath . '/' . $mosConfig_lang . '/' . $mosConfig_lang . '.php'))
{
$UElanguage = 'default_language';
}
include_once ($UElanguagePath . '/' . $UElanguage . '/' . $UElanguage . '.php');
}



}

Hi Jerry,

thanks for your note. I tried to apply your changes but neither the original 1.04 fireboard.php nor fixstein's patched version match the line numbers you are giving. Also, when I locate the code close to the line range I find that the code has changed already.

Would you happen to have a reference file for 1.04? Or can you just attach your files to this post?

Best regards,
Sundance
You should apply my patch ONLY to post.php, NOT fireboard.php. Sorry, that I was not clear (althrough I mentioned that ).

Patch ONLY post.php
I already read that. And my patch was working in fireboard 1.0.3 for me and is also working now (in 1.0.4).
My patch is actually not session-dependent. As I am only deleting flag (for thread where is message posted) of read threads for all users, when is message posted (in that thread).
Mentioned performance penalty is there, cause these flags are in one column readtopics:char which must be searched by like and parsed.

Thanks Jerry your patch for post.php worked like a charm!

I answer it by myself...

Yes it works with FB 1.0.3 and CBE

Hello, thanx for all the work done so far. I use Joomla 1.0.13 and Fireboard 1.0.3
I have a very active forum (445 users) and they post and stay connected to the forum all day long.

I applied the fxstein patch, and it seems all is correct, but when a user writes a new post in the next minute os the las marked as new, it is not showed as new in the category folder (stays blue and dont have new indicator), and also is not showed as new in the list of messages of the category.

This is the last patch?
joomlacode.org/gf/project/fireboard/scms...=461&view=markup

Sorry with my english.

Does this apply to 1.04 fireboard too?
