New Post Status Icon links to Getnew for that forum.

In order to simplify searching, I wanted to make the New Post status icon link to the search engine and retrieve only the new posts for that forum. If there are no new posts, the icon links to the forum itself.

Open forumhome_forumbit_levelX_post. In my example, I am using forumhome_forumbit_level2_post.

Find:

HTML Code:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

Replace with:

HTML Code:

        <if condition="$forum[statusicon]=='new'">

          <a href="search.php?do=getnew&include=$forum[forumid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

        <else />

          <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

        </if>

You can apply similar modifications to any forumbit at any level.

Im a bit confused on where to look ... kinda difficult to see with the very nice custom template.

Level 1 is usually reserved for categories in most forums. Level 2 is the actual forums.

This modification doesn't really change the look of a forum. It changes behavior. In the default style, the status icons do not do anything except show whether there are new posts or not. With my modification, the status icon becomes a link that shows all the new posts in that forum or loads the entire forum if there are no new posts.

Doesn't work if the forum just has sub-forums. Any fix for that?

Try this:

HTML Code:

        <if condition="$forum[statusicon]=='new'">

         <a href="search.php?do=getnew&include=$forum[forumid]&childforums=1"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

        <else />

         <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

        </if>

Great little add on. Thanks!

Is there any way to do something similar and combine the "status icon" with the "go to first new post icon"?

Great mod Wayne!

If it's not too much trouble, could you point me towards the templates to modify to add this hack to sub forum listings in forum displays, as well as to the sub-forum icons on the main forum page?

Thanks much,

-Nick

This definately should be considered as a standard feature option for future versions of vBulletin.. I hadn't even thought of doing this until coming across this mod!

Many thanks, Wayne.
