I would like to show the Posts in last 24 hours on my forum in the header, is this possible and how complicated will it be to create?

you mean a list of them or just a link to show them?

No, I mean i if you look at my site (link in sig) in the top right it says:

There are 62 Users Online Now

What i would like under their is

There have been "x" post(s) in the last 24hrs.

I'm just wondering if its possible

Thanks for the reply though Zachery

If you want to have number of new posts since last visit to FORUMHOME try this thread...
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101600

You might be able to mod it a bit to do what you want.... just a thought

I can't code (mod) anything i'm useless. I'll let the pro's do that!!

I just want it to say: There have been "x" post(s) in the last 24hrs.

Not "since your last visit there have been x posts"

This must be possible t do, i will pay anyone who can do it for me. If you can get the number of users on the forum shown on the header then surely you can show the number of pasts made in the last 23 hrs.

In global.php FIND

PHP Code:

// parse headinclude, header & footer 


ABOVE that ADD

PHP Code:

$lastposts = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS twentyfourhours FROM " .  TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE dateline > " .  (TIMENOW - 86400));
$lastposts['twentyfourhours'] = vb_number_format($lastposts['twentyfourhours']); 


Then in template header place $lastposts[twentyfourhours] whereever you want this number.

Feel free to contact me for PayPal details if this does what you want

I get the following error below when i add

$lastposts[24hours]

to the header template!!

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate the template 'header':

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ']' in /usr/home/yates238/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3055) : eval()'d code on line 67

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement.

Hmm ... should not be a problem.
Can you attach your header template that is causing this error?

i'll pm it to you. The header is fine i think, but as soon as i add the code it breaks and i get the error.
