Add a link to the "Forum Jump" Pulldown?

[Fofer]

I'd like simply to add one link to this handy pulldown at the bottom of the screen:




The link I'd like to add is "New Posts," which would be:
http://www.myforumname.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew


Any advice or pointers on how to do this (what template to edit?) would be appreciated.

EDIT: I just found the same question, asked more appropriately here so mods, feel free to delete this post if necessary.

The template is "forumjump", which is in the root of the templateview, but I think that you'll have to hack some code too.
Haven't found the right file to hack though.

Just open the include files and look for "forumjump" and i guess you'll find the one to alter.

Also, you could try this thread. That will give you some hints were to look.
It's in forumdisplay.php near line 66.

I don't know how to add a link with a parameter though (like search.php?do=getnew) like you want, but maybe you can figur that one out.

Thanks for the pointer... I ended up taking the easy road and just created a fake "forum" called "?New Posts, all Forums."

Gave it the link of http://www.myforumname.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew

For "Act as Forum (Will act as category if no)" I checked no. (This way it doesn't actually show up as a forum.)

It is "Active" but not "Open."

And I set the Display Order so it's first on the list.

Now, it doesn't show up under "Site Areas" in the Forum Jump, it shows up under "Forums" -- but it works fine and was easy to implement. So I'm happy enough for now.

Thanks again!

It works but it would be great to have it in Site Areas....
