View posts in last [x] hours

[Reef]

My last board was PHPbb and this is one mod that 'everyone' misses since we have switched to VB3

This is excellent for members who login from different computers or locations throughout the day and, would like to go back to to a certain period of time when they get home.

Please see the screenshot for a better idea of what I mean.

This will be a very useful mod to many people and I'm sure greatly appreciated by more than just myself.

Thanks to whoever will give it a try

you want view posts in last [x] horus in forumdisplay or in search ?

[Reef]

forumdisplay would be most convienient but, it really wouldn't matter it's located

thanks

Why don't you just modify the search template and add more time frames to this dropdown box?

[Reef]

That is just an option to modify a normal keyword search which is not what I need.

What I am requesting functions like the 'new posts' feature.. (no need for a search term, it will locate all board posts in the last selected hours)

open (FORUMDISPLAY) templates:

find:

<select name="daysprune" style="width:125px">


after that add:

<option value="900">15 min</option>
<option value="1800">30 min</option>
<option value="2700">45 min</option>
<option value="3600">1 Hours</option>
<option value="7200">2 Hours</option>
<option value="21600">6 Hours</option>
<option value="43200">12 Hours</option>



open forumdisplay.php

find:

$datecut = '';
$show['noposts'] = true;
}


after that add:


$all_the_vb = array(900,1800,2700,3600,7200,21600,43200);

if(in_array ($daysprune,$all_the_vb))
{
$datecut = "AND lastpost >= " . (TIMENOW - ($daysprune));
$show['noposts'] = false;
}

Reef
you'r welcome :)

[trevelyn1015]

is there a way to get something like this on the "new posts" page? that will cover all forums?

here is an example of what would be perfect, but it is on a snitz forum:
www.generation-edge.com

maybe something to fit in around this area:

[trevelyn1015]

none of you super capable coders can come up with a "view posts since x amount of time" that displays on the "new posts" page ;)??????????

[amykhar]

I have it done already for somebody else. Let me dig up the code and I'll release tomorrow. No time today.

[trevelyn1015]

you are the man :)


edit: i see your name is amy... you are the WOman... :o

man, this is so nice, i would love to add this to my group.

can somebody who doesn't have any hacking knowledge, like myself, do this?

do i just open the files in a text editor, and than just copy the code that all-the-vb posted... copy and paste?

please advise. maybe this will be stepping stone into hacking vb? :ermm:

I sure would like to learn, as i have tens of ideas for modifications that i would like to make and then freely share here with others.

Peace, jo

do exactly this:

open (FORUMDISPLAY) templates:

find:

<select name="daysprune" style="width:125px">


after that add:

<option value="900">15 min</option>
<option value="1800">30 min</option>
<option value="2700">45 min</option>
<option value="3600">1 Hours</option>
<option value="7200">2 Hours</option>
<option value="21600">6 Hours</option>
<option value="43200">12 Hours</option>



open forumdisplay.php

find:

$datecut = '';
$show['noposts'] = true;
}


after that add:


$all_the_vb = array(900,1800,2700,3600,7200,21600,43200);

if(in_array ($daysprune,$all_the_vb))
{
$datecut = "AND lastpost >= " . (TIMENOW - ($daysprune));
$show['noposts'] = false;
}



to get to your templates:

go to admincp -> styles and templates -> style manager, then on your style(s) drop down list click on <edit templates>.. if you have more than one style, do it on both of them...

to mod your forumdisplay.php, ftp your site, grab the file, modify it in a text editor or dreamweaver or whatever, then save it and upload it back to your server. make sure to have a backup, though... in case you mod that file incorrectly...
