Displaying 'Unread and recently updated topics' on main forum page for Admins/Mods

Just signed up for the Gold Membership and just migrated my forum over from Vanilla. Glad to be here!

I know this topic has probably been covered, and I did a relatively lengthy search trying to find this, but couldn't...

Issue:

Unread and recently updated topics

.. shows up for regular 'standard' users, but myself (Admin) and I believe my moderators do not see these 'unread' posts on the main forum page. I realize i can view unread and recent topics in the drop down bar, but I would love to view the main forum page just like my users, where unread topics are right below all my forums on that main forum page.

Any help on this probably-easy fix is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

yes, as posted many times here (sorry, search is your friend wink), that is the default behavior... but like most thinks, you can change it to your liking...

see:  http://codex.simple-press.com/.....tpostlist/

its in the sp_GroupView.php template file in the sp theme you are using...  look at the admins argument which you change to 1 to show for admins...

as always, we highly recommend having your own sp theme versus modding ours to not lose changes on updates....  see:  http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/

So, losing changes that you speak of are only to edits to code like what you're suggesting via the sp_GroupView.php file? All my other customizations, through the forum plugin (wordpress dashboard >> Forums >> SimplePress Administration section), all those adjustments are unaffected during a plugin update? I'd assume so, just wanted to check.

Correct. Simple:Press display is template driven - in exactly the same way as WordPress itself is and the same rules apply.

Sweet. Thanks, guys. I'll let you know if I have more questions (I'll first do my best searching the forum/codex), but your help and plugins will be well worth the Gold package! Thanks.

i do appreciate it can often be hard to find stuff via searching - especially when some of our forums have been around now for many years!

This was easy to edit/fix. So thanks. I will look into creating my own theme, though. Thanks.
