This is a revised version of Sitstay's Mark All Read hack. It works for 5.5 , and includes installation instructions.

It includes another hack also from Sitstay, which will mark all read automatically for new users so the forums will load fast and they start fresh.

This one does make a huge difference in forum speed... I'll update the one we have here []https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/smile.gif[/]

I get this error on MARK ALL READ:

In reply to:

SQL ERROR: Unable to do_query: SELECT Bo_Keyword, Bo_Last FROM w3t_Boards WHERE Bo_Total > 0 AND ()

any ideas?

I have that too!!

If you compare the (working) adduser-script with the (not-working) markallread-script, you find that [:red] difference:

// Grab all the boards in the database
$query = "
SELECT Bo_Keyword[:red], Bo_Last
FROM w3t_Boards
WHERE Bo_Total > 0
$groupquery
";
$boards = $dbh -> do_query($query);
[:red] $total = mysql_num_rows($boards);


Maybe that extra code is the problem?

Another problem is that inside the function there is a part of non-php HTML... that looks also unproper to me.

No, I think I found it :

Should be:

$userob = new user;
$user = $userob -> authenticate("$Username","$Password","U_Username, U_Password, U_Groups, U_TimeOffset");

Sorry... user authentication was incorrect... my apologies. This is my installed version which works. The name of the file should be markallread.php. The difference is:
after:
// Get the user info
you need to have:
$Username = $w3t_myname;
$Password = $w3t_mypass;

See my post above, marked "CORRECTION" ... sorry about that.

Thanks caymuc,

The other way is to do what I described above, in my post entitled "Correction" ... it's my working version on 5.5

forgot to attach

Thanks, this is what fixed it along with what Max Put in.

Err... I just grabbed it and for some reason I fail to see the reason for this:

 $Board = 'websites';    // edit this board name to one on your site

   // ---------------------------------------
   // Set a cookie, or register a session var
   if ($config[tracking] == "sessions") {
      session_register('w3t_visit');
      $w3t_visit .= "-$Board=$Last-";
   }
   else {
      $w3t_visit .= "-$Board=$Last-";
      setcookie("w3t_visit","$w3t_visit",0);
   }

Why do we need to set the last time for a board?

[EDIT] I always keep forgetting something: you'll also have to add $config to the 'global' line of the domarkallread function (otherwise the test for cookie/session mode will not work properly)

I asked Sitstay the same question at the time... he gave an answer, frankly it was over my head.

could someone please explain to me where to put
format: $phpurl/markallread.php?Cat=$Cat&action=markallread
when using 5.5.1?

I keep getting errors no mater where i place this piece of script.

cheers

Actually, you need to place a line like:

<a href="$phpurl/markallread.php?Cat=$Cat&action=markallread" $target>Mark all read</a>$spacer

in ubbt.inc.php. You should look around line 347 -- there are a bunch of lines like that.

Thanks razvan,

This seems to make sense for 551

cheers
