View New Posts - Request

[Rand M]

Thanks Logician for replying to my request!

I edited the two fields in search.php and the resulting display from "View New Posts" was as you suggested changed from 'thread view' to 'post view'.

The down side (for me!) was that this changes the display to show all posts in a thread that may only have one 'new post'. A slightly less downside was the display is in 'descending' order, newest post first!

I'm so new to working with vBulletin that what follows may be a load of rubbish!!! So feel free to correct my assumptions....
I assume that when 'View New Posts' is selected it just runs a sql query with a set of default options(???)
I've looked through the 'vBulletin Template Reference' to find the search templates used by search.php but couldnt find anything that sets the 'View New Posts' display. Then again if I'd been looking for pink elephants I would have missed them as well....

What I'd like to be able to do is to set 'View New Posts' to display 'only' new posts in 'ascending' order.

(Why!!! .... the majority of my users are from a 'Discus' forum that has this option..... but we're replacing Discus with vBulletin)

I hope you dont mind another question? Is search.php the area to concentrate my 'learning' in to achieve this modified display.

Thanks again,
Rand
