Alerts?

Those are NOT alerts. They are NEW/Updated Item indicators. They are telling you that there are 5 NEW (or updated) showcase items and 2 NEW (or updated) Sportsbook events.

If you click on "New Items" and "New Events" you will see them (just like New Posts). The only difference is that core XF doesn't use the itemCount indicator on the Forums Tab (or else Forums would have a red bubble displaying the count of New Posts)

 

btw, this is an Admin Configurable Option (default is disabled)

Enable Event Counter on Nav Tab

If enabled, will display an indicator on the sportsbook navigation tab with the amount of new & unread/unviewed sportsbook events.

 

The same exact way that the New Posts work. When you view the EVENT, it marks it read, just like when viewing a THREAD, marks it read. You also have the option of "Mark Events Viewed" (look at the Sportsbook Tab) which will mark them ALL read (again, JUST like Threads/Posts).

 

Im not sure what Chris is doing, but I am using CORE XF. It is a core XF feature (CSS is core XF).

 

actually, Chris implemented it using Core XF as well..

http://xenmediagallery.com/threads/notify-all-users-of-new-media.442/#post-2233 The screen shot in this is showing the default core XF styling for the ItemsCount functionality of a nav tab.

 

Since YOU created the event, you won't see it as "new" cause, you created it. The same behavior as when creating a new thread. Since you created it, its already marked as "read".

 

That setting is for that block. It has absolutely nothing to do with "New Events" indicator.

I guess I'd need to log in and check all your settings. I just created an event here (a few seconds ago) and all my other accounts can see the new event indicator just fine. Inbox me with an admin account (full permissions) and I will check your settings.

 

Yes, its exactly the same as Showcase, AMS, XenForo Media Gallery, Xen Product Manager etc. Same Global Options, Same Individual user enable/disable and the New Items Indicator displays on the Sportsbook Tab just like it does on the Showcase Tab. The "New Events" link fetches New/Unviewed Events.

The most common mistake is expecting these counts in real time. The Data is Cached in each viewing users Session, so if you have that set to 15 (15 minutes), then when YOU are viewing, its only going to update the Cache 15 minutes after the last time it updated.







I had to wait 5 minutes before I saw the new item indicator on Sportsbook (because I had the CACHE set at 5). NOTE: This is NOT something that you want to set any lower than 5 or you will OVERLOAD your sever with a ton of unnecessary queries. Its actually best to set this to 15.

 

Event Titles on lists (Bold/Normal) have absolutely nothing to do with the Unread Alerts function on the Nav Tab. If those are not working (they should be), then that would be a NEW Bug of some sort (or a problem with your style). Either way, this thread is about the NAV TAB New Items indicator. It DOES NOT control anything in respect to Titles on Listing pages or the Event Pages themselves. That is completely different code.

 

You mean like when you WATCH something (like Watching a Sportsbook Category) and when a new event is created in that Category, users watching that category will get an alert? If so, then no, nothing like that exists for the Betting Exchange. You can create a suggestion thread for it, but I need to know the specifics of how you expect it (the entire system) to function (UI, controls, actions etc)
