What's Going On AREA

How do I add "view latest posts" to the What's Going On" area at the bottom of the board?

[Lynne]

Have you tried just copying the link from the navbar into the area you want it in?

Someone please help me...I have looked everyowhere and I can't seem to find out how to do this. All I want is to have something in forum statistics area at the bottom of forumhome to show the latest posts with a link to follow to see a list of the latest posts.

Any ideas?

bump...

I guess I just need someone to show me how to add a link to the statistics area at the bottom to show recent posts.

Have you done a search on "post*" "all mods" "titles only"? There are a few mods to show the Lastest X Posts.

[Nintendo-Daily]

No, but I just did. The only thing I found from what looks relevant was another thread of you telling another member the same thing. I still haven't found anything.

[Lynne]

Hmmm, when I search "post*" "all mods" "titles only", this is the sixth thread - Latest X Posts on Forum Home (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=142759&highlight=post%2A)

cool. I'll look into this. Thanks Lynne. Shouln't I just be able to edit the MAINFORUM Template though instead of having to install a plug-in? I was able to add an additional line underneath where it shows "Welcome to our newest member, XXXXX", but was unable to create a link in my line of text. I wanted it to look like this:

View the latest posts here

[Lynne]

So all you want is a link, not the actual latest posts?

Something like:

View the lastest posts <a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php?do=getdaily">here</a>

That is to show the daily posts. If you want New Posts, then:

View the lastest posts <a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php?do=getnew">here</a>

Awesome!! Thanks a bunch. I thought I did that but I obviously did not. Would someone mind testing it out for me and telling me if it works ok?

Hard to do when you haven't posted a link to your site. :)

Yea...that might help...lol

Well, it probably would work fine for someone who is logged in. However, as a Guest, I don't get any results (which is correct). You might want to do a condition for it:

<if condition="$show['guest']">
do the line for Today's Posts
<else />
do the line for New Posts
</if>

WOW...are you saying that guests would actually be able to see the latest posts ONLY and if they want to reply, they would have to log in to do it? WOW...this would be cool if that's what you are talking about. Where would I add that condition Lynne?

[Lynne]

What I was saying is that the New Posts link is showing to Guests but how can the software tell what posts are new for a Guest? It can't, so you get no results. That is why if you log out, you'll see that a New Posts link isn't shown in the navbar to Guests, but instead a Today's Posts link is shown. So I'm suggesting you replace the link you added earlier with the code I just posted so it shows the New Posts links to all users except the Guests who would instead see the Today's Posts link.

where exactly would I add that condition though?

I don't know exactly where you added the link before, but replace it with the other code if you want to have a different link for Guests vs. Logging in users.
