Handy link to search for "New Posts in Only This Forum" · **Released**: 03-17-2007

Not a blockbuster by any means. Just a simple (yet effective) little link, makes it easy to find the new posts in that particular forum. (If there are NO new posts in a forum, the text link on forumhome says "old" instead.)

In FORUMDISPLAY template, find:

Code:

	<td class="tcat" width="100%">$vbphrase[threads_in_forum]<span class="normal"> : $foruminfo[title]</span></td>

Replace with:

Code:

<td class="tcat" width="100%">$vbphrase[threads_in_forum]<span class="normal"> : $foruminfo[title] <a href="search.php?do=getnew&include=$foruminfo[forumid]">(new in <b>bold</b>)</a></span></td>

In forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template, find:

Code:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

Replace with:

Code:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a> <span class="smallfont"><a href="search.php?do=getnew&include=$forum[forumid]">$forum[statusicon]</a></span>

...done.

Screenshot/attachment shows what it looks like.

I do not know what the heck is happening now. Here are the two templates to edit I can't figure out what I did

For starters, you didn't add the code to the FORUMDISPLAY template.

(I searched for "search.php?do=getnew&include=$foruminfo[forumid]" -- the important bit -- and found nothing.

You have a heavily modified skin, so with mods like this you'll often have to figure things out on your own. In your case, at least for FORUMDISPLAY, find:

Code:

<td class="tcat" width="100%" align="left"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[threads_in_forum]:</strong> $foruminfo[title]</span></td>

and replace it with:

Code:

<td class="tcat" width="100%" align="left"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[threads_in_forum]:</strong> $foruminfo[title] <a href="search.php?do=getnew&include=$foruminfo[forumid]">(new in <b>bold</b>)</a></span></td>
