[vB 3.0.3] Replace Today's/New Posts Links with Dropdown

This small template mod is for the vB 3.0.3 navbar template. This mod replaces the Today's Posts/New Posts links with a Get Posts dropdown menu. It only works when vB dropdowns are allowed, otherwise the default vB link is displayed. The dropdown includes a link to New Posts as well as links to daily posts from the last week. Note that vB does 'getdaily' searches on 24-hour cycles so, for example, selecting '2 Days Ago' in the dropdown gets all posts in the last 48 hours. Directions to exlude forums from Get Posts search results are also included, and after adding some vB phrases, only the vB 3.0.3 navbar template needs to be edited for this mod to work.

Question without doing the excludes will this show forums that the usergroup cant access?

Code:

1) Go to the vB Phrase Manager and add the following phrases (see vB help for further directions):



$vbphrase[get_posts_nav] = "Get Posts";

$vbphrase[get_one_day] = "1 Day Ago";

$vbphrase[get_two_days] = "2 Days Ago";

$vbphrase[get_three_days] = "3 Days Ago";

$vbphrase[get_four_days] = "4 Days Ago";

$vbphrase[get_five_days] = "5 Days Ago";

$vbphrase[get_six_days] = "6 Days Ago";

$vbphrase[get_seven_days] = "7 Days Ago";

Since i am new @ vb3

what should the "Varname" be for each one? i tried Get Post and it said it is invalid - because of the space...

get_posts_nav

get_one_day

no brackets, no spaces....

Do you mean run down the list;
get_posts_nav
get_one_day
get_two_days

or do you really mean "or" i.e., use a single variable?

yeah, run down the list. don't use brackets. just enter the variable name using _'s instead of spaces.....

Strange. When i should put in the code in the vB Phrase Manager
i get this error
The varname you specified for this phrase is invalid. You may only include a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and _ (underscore).

It tried to lay in this $vbphrase[get_posts_nav]

Here's something you may want to combine with this template mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=73077

It allows you to check minutes and hours instead of just days.

I'd like to apply this mod to my forum which is running 3.5.1. Any issues? tips? alternatives?

Thanks,

Carlos
