Add link "Today's posts" in quicks Links

[Allan]

This mod add a link "Today's posts" in quicks Links (removed in vB4)


In the "navbar" template, find (the third from top):
<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
<vb:if condition="$show['member']">

Add under:<li><a href="search.php?do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase todays_posts}</a></li>

PS: This is a useful function and I find that this is more original in VB4, like many things, damage ..

Good stuff, My members have been asking for this one.

Hi Allan,

I was looking exacly for something like this.

I have on 3.8.4 something like this:

- /search.php?do=process&replyless=1&replylimit=0&exclude=30 - To get Threads with no replies

- /search.php?do=getnew - To get posts since my last visit

- /search.php?do=getdaily&days=7- Posts from a week before

- /search.php?do=getdaily&days=30 - Posts from a month before

Any idea how would be the links for those ? Got my idea ?

I can't seem to find the code you're describing in the navbar template (so I'm not sure where to put your new code).

Can you be more specific? There doesn't seem to be any place in the navbar template that repeats those two lines:

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
<vb:if condition="$show['member']">

Could you give me a bigger picture of the code area and where I specifically need to insert your code to get "today's posts"?

Thanks.

Any ideas ?

[BoredOutOfMyMin]

Excellent fix and going to mod footer to solve missing Forum Jump Navigation

[coloradomoms]

Awesome! thanks!!

[captkirk]

Thanks works great, I don't know why it was removed in the first place

[JonUrban]

Thanks. I did it and it works perfectly. Why did they take this out? vB works in mysterious ways I guess.

Thanks again!

[SuperGLS]

Very good. Added!

[COL NIL SATIS]

Thanks Allan..nice little code!!! much appreciated

[Anne Lise]

I cannot get this to work.

I used it a little differently..

Great add on Allan Merci ..installed sir

[I.am]

In 4.0.2 this code is already implemented but i can't see the url in quick link menu...why?

[skwestle]

Thank you I have been looking for this

[donnie_ogm]

good!
A question ... do you know how to edit:

http://www.exampleforum.com/forum/search.php?do=getnew

in order to obtain new posts from all the forum excluded someone?
for example I don't want to take into account new posts from forum 44 ... any ideas?

[SuperGLS]

Allan, any plans on putting this in plugin form to avoid having to make the change at every update?

[voglermc]

check your install, when I'm in my settings, quick links has the normal pull down, not all like on the forum home

[docvader]

What template do we use to change the wording in the "what's new" link? I want to search for more than 24 hours, as I had in my previous 3.7 version. I usually have links for 7, 14, 21, 30, 60, 90 days, as some of my visitors are kind of "infrequent".

[Bounce]

In 4.0.2 this code is already implemented but i can't see the url in quick link menu...why?

same for me, why is it not there? :eek:

[Videx]

Yes, this isn't making too much sense any longer in 404. Can we get some updated instructions?

Edit: Maybe this will make more sense. In the navbar template, find around line 68 <li><a href="subscription.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase subscribed_threads}</a></li>Add on the line before it <li><a href="search.php?do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase todays_posts}</a></li>

[Gero50]

Instaled, thanks so much this will be so nice.

[Dr Aj642]

When i click on View threads with no reply, i get this

Any ideas ?

Need to somehow code the line below to a restricted search, say show up the last 30 threads with no posts. I'm not a coding guy so i don't know what to change.

<li><a href="search.php?do=process&replyless=1&replylimit=0&exclude=30">Threads with no replies</a></li>

Not working in 4.1.1 but thanks!

[COL NIL SATIS]

thanks,nice job

[RichieBoy67]

This is great Allan. Thank you so much..

Richie

[hyppa]

Works perfect in the 4.1.1.

Thanks.

[traen]

Is it possible to modify this so guests can view the daily posts as well?

Edit: Would you just need to modify this part of the code right above the today's posts line? What would you replace it with, guest? Or just "$show[]"?

<vb: if condition="$show['member']">

Edit to add again:

I only want the daily posts viewable to guests, not new posts just to clarify.

[Videx]

My forum already shows "Today's Posts" to Guests on the navbar. It changes to "New Posts" when you log in, and this one shows under Quick Links.

[traen]

Guests can see it only when they click what's new, but they get a no permissions page. Its not on the quick links tab at all for guests, works fine for logged in users.

Edit to add: And I'd also like to place a daily posts link on the cms home page on the quick links bar as well. We used to have vbadvanced before the upgrade which had a recent activity page viewable to everyone, I'm hoping that this would be a suitable replacement.

I would need it on the home page as well to really satisfy that need, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

[traen]

So is there no way to enable this for guests to use?

Edit: I figured it out, no worries.

[jar546]

Not to sound like an idiot but is this something that can be changed through the Admin CP or do I have to use my Dreamweaver?

[Videx]

Not to sound like an idiot but is this something that can be changed through the Admin CP or do I have to use my Dreamweaver?It's a template edit done via AdminCP>Styles and templates>Style Manager>Edit templates.

[jitsuboy]

I don't have a quick link tab on my 4.1.1..why? I want this mod!

[woffie]

Does not work with 4.1.2

[Freewings2]

how can we do this in 4.1.2? Really missing the today's posts option:(

[Videx]

Mine's still working in 4.1.2. It's sitting on line 69 now, but still after the third 'show member'. <a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl" accesskey="3">{vb:rawphrase quick_links}</a>
<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
<vb:if condition="$show['member']">

<li><a href="search.php?do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase todays_posts}</a></li>

<li><a href="{vb:link subscription}" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase subscribed_threads}</a></li>

[Freewings2]

awesome, thank you :) Much better having that back ;)

[orangecopper]

Cool Man!
It worked for me, thanks a lot!

[spillage]

I got a template conflict when doing the 4.1.3 update.

I removed the old mode code, and reinserted it after the update (per the instructions).
All works fine.

[SuperGLS]

Ah yes, thanks Videx! Working good for me now on 4.1.2.

[BlueCheri]

Thanx a lot

[steven vaccaro]

[Satfool1]

great stuff, very handy to have back

[maxie]

working n 4.1.2

in navbar find

<li><a href="{vb:link subscription}" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase subscribed_threads}</a></li>

paste above

<li><a href="search.php?do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase todays_posts}</a></li>

[BajaBoatOwners]

Is there a way to make this functional as a "Active Posts"? In otherwords create a Tab when you click on it it pulls up all threads in say last 5 days?

[CSS59]

now can I put today's posts next to what's new in the main navbar?

[SGT Rock]

Good mod, I just installed it. One question if someone can help...

I would like this link to still be available in the nav bar once you go to the search results. But it isn't there after doing the search.

[MrSquid]

Yes - I'm with CSS59 - I want "Today's Posts" next to "What's New" too. I'm building a new style and want it like that on this new one.

I took over a site from another admin, and somehow he had accomplished that in our old style, but I can't figure out HOW he did it.

I dont want New Posts at all so I replaced it with Today's posts.

Find in Navbar

<li><a href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase new_posts_nav}</a></li>

Replace with:

<li><a href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase todays_posts}</a></li>

[Eq4bits]

anyone know if there is a fix for using this in v4.2? the 'find' phrase as described does not exist ... it's only present in navbar template one time ....

[Videx]

That's actually a good question because my navbar template is showing as default in 4.2, but "Today's Posts" is still on my Quick Links dropdown.

I sure don't remember editing anything else, and I can't remember installing any other mods. Could 4.2 have come with Today's Posts included?

I guess I'll mark this as uninstalled because if it still is I sure can't figure out where.

[Eq4bits]

My bad, guess it's a 'built-in' for v4.2PL2 though I *did* have to go to Settings>Navigation Manager then 'expand' Forum to show links and put a check mark beside 'Today's Posts' to make it active. I guess with the default is 'not active' or something.

Thanks tho.
Marking this as 'uninstalled' since it is now built-in.
Great Mod for versions 4.0.x-4.1.x

[Videx]

Holy cow I don't think I even knew you could expand those items! Consequently, I clearly never had to do this for mine. All my selections are checked, and must have been by default. Even one for my PhotoPost Classifieds. Apparently whoever coded that particular upgrade was really on the ball!

[thenags]

Worked perfect. Thanks.

[hyppa]

Cant use for 4.2. :(

[dandanch]

^hyppa, I think in 4.2.0 you should have the today's link in quicks Links.
