how do I call a plugin when 'new posts' is clicked but not when a search is performed

When a user goes to 'new posts' I want a plugin to execute when the new posts results are displayed. (The plugin displays some php generated text.)
But I don't want it to execute when the user performs a search and gets the results.

I see that the template 'search_resultlist' is used for new posts and search results.
I can call the plugin on this template but I don't know how to display it for only 'new posts'.

Is this possible and how can I do it?

Then do something regarding the do variable.

if ($_GET['do'] == 'getnew') ......

Hi Lynne
I'm not sure how to use the do variable.
When I perform a search the resulting URL is /search.php?searchid=3734120 which doesn't have a 'do' querystring.

To get this do variable I tried a couple ways ..
I created a plugin and wrote

Code:

print_r ($_GET);

and this writes the querystring on the page, which is

[searchid] => 3734147

And I added the following in the 'search_resultlist' template

Code:

<vb:if condition="$_GET['do'] == 'getnew'">Hello there!</vb:if>

But that didn't display the text 'Hello there!'

Maybe I'm placing the vb code in the wrong place or writing it incorrectly? I don't understand how to access the $_GET['do'] variable when its not in the URL.

For a template conditional for getnew, in the template search_resultlist, you could use:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$criteriaDisplay == 'Type: Posts; New Posts'">

However, it's important to remember that your plugin code will still be running, even if the output is blocked by a template conditional. This could have load impacts for your server, and also page load speed.

In your plugin you could write:

Code:

if ($_GET['do'] == 'getnew')

{



/////Your plugin code here /////



}

Remember that if you're setting variables, you will also need to register them for use in the template. There's an article in the vB4 articles section about this.
