[How] $newposts[count] in Navbar on all pages?

[SCRIPT3R]

is there an easier way to get a New Post Count to appear in the NavBar on all forum pages (rather then edit each php file)? this is where i'm at thus far, but obviously the $newposts[count] is only appearing on index.php.



forumrootdirectory/index.php

PHP Code:

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php');

require_once('./includes/functions_bigthree.php');

require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');

$newposts = $DB_site->query_first(" 

    SELECT COUNT(*) AS count 

    FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post 

    WHERE dateline > '".$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']."' 

"); 


breadcrumbs...

navbar

PHP Code:

        <if condition="$indexpage"> 

            <a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew">$vbphrase[new_posts]</a>: $newposts[count]<br /> 

        </if>
