counts for /flags and /post-queue

[murcs]

hi.

i'm pretty new to nodeBB - it's my first thread/post.  we are a group of seven enthusiasts who moved a nearly 20 year old voluntary sports-forum in germany from a proprietary internet forum software to nodeBB.  first of all: we are really happy with our choice =;^)  it's a great piece of software!

but there are some wishes.  of course.  after some investigation on the topic "counts for /flags and /post-queue" i felt asking here should be the best option.

we are using the /post-queue as a part of our spam-protection strategy.  our /post-queue is in the navigation visible to moderators and admins.  it would be great to have the count of posts inside as a marker on it like for /unread.  the same for /flags.  we would love to see the open issues marked there.

well.  if you have any advice because we missed something obvious feel free to help.  thank you.

well.  2 votes are nice but after a week something official inbetween "good idea.  wait for version 1.33.something!  minimum." and "doesn't make sense for us.  write your own plugin, if you really want it!" would be great.  thank you.

ober!schöne grüße,

Hi @murcs! Thanks for sharing your community with us, I wish it all the best, and am glad you are enjoying using the software

It is difficult to enable counts in the navigation bar like /unread, because that is done custom just for the /unread badge.

It was done so long ago, I don't even know where to look to find it in the code!

Let me look into it for you and see...

@murcs https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/pull/9183

This will show counts for /flags if present in the navbar. For post queue it is too difficult to do due to how we store the post queue data, so I have left it as-is.

julianlam created this issue in NodeBB/NodeBB

closed refactor: split out logic dedicated to calculating unread counts, to a separate local method #9183

dear @julian.

i'm not aware, if it's possible to kind of patch those lines to our v1.16.1 nodebb instance.  ... or do we have to wait for v1.17.0 which could take some months?  if it's not too difficult give me a short advice please.

@murcs As the changes were contained in multiple commits, it may be easiest for you to wait for v1.16.2 (this Wednesday)
