EDIT: Search $vbphrase[mark_forums_read] in your styles and replace the whole <a href> tag with the one he gave.
Why? You might have multiple places that has the "Mark Forums Read" button, such as the Welcome Panel Rewrite mod or in your ForumHome template near the footer.
(I had three places.)

EDIT2: Dismounted, you might want to add that into your readme.

Thanks for this, Dismounted! As mentioned elsewhere, I've been wanting something like this for awhile now.

Agreed; I had it in navbar (under QuickLinks) and also in footer, in another style.

Works great though... should be standard feature of vBulletin.

Darn, you guys keep releasing these cool mods and I keep installing them. I can't wait until the next major (templates need reverting) upgrade. :P

Actually, this works for me everywhere, except the QuickLinks pulldown in the standard vBulletin skin. I select the "Mark Forums Read" menu option, confirm the dialog that pops up, then nothing happens; no page refresh like I am used to.

(Ironically enough it works fine in my custom skin, in the QuickLinks pulldown, and all the other spots.)

Any clues?

EDIT: Code removed, as I'm told by Ziki below that it won't work, don't want to confuse future readers

I suggest to remove the link from there because it won't ever work

Any clues? Here's the code:

Yeah, since I discovered the code mod wasn't working there I removed it and put it back to the "original" way. I also moved the "Mark Forums Read" to a different position of the QuickLinks menu, so it would be less likely to be selected by user mistake.


The confirmation mod DOES work properly in the QuickLinks pulldown of my other (customized) skin... at least, when I am in forumhome. (The confirmation dialog doesn't seem to pop up when I choose it from UserCP, or Threadview, or Search. But even with that, the menu command still works, just no confirmation dialog.) It didn't work in vBulletin at all.

Why is there no way to get it to work as desired in the the QuickLinks pulldown? Why can it work (somewhat, ie: in forumhome, but not elsewhere) in one skin... but not in vB skin at all? I tried making a seperate "Mark Forums Read" link in navbar template, and noticed the same weirdness. The confirmation dialog only appears when accessing it from forumhome.

Just wondering, trying to learn.



Would it make sense to introduce this confirmation dialog into the "do=markread" command instead? That way it'd be universal to it's invocation everywhere. Make a preference option in UserCP so visitors could choose whether or not they get the Confirmation dialog... and I'd nominate this for MOTM.

Awesome, never thought to do this. Nice job
