Expanded Get New Posts - Hours, Minutes and Even Seconds

OK. I'll admit it. The seconds is overkill. Sue me.

This little mod (unfortunately, it can't be a plugin) requires you to edit one file and a template or two. I have included a suggested template edit, but how you use the search links is up to you.

It is similar to the getdaily feature of vbulletin, which allows users to search for posts submitted in x number of days. This expansion allows users to search for posts submitted within x hours, x minutes or even x seconds. It also allows users to search for any combination thereof.

Yes. It's running on my site now.

Hi,

are there any updates to this mod? Does it work with Gold? Can it be a plugin? How does it handle the new databasetracking system?

Regards,

Tobi

It works with gold, and it can be a plugin if you don't mind repeating the code block. I prefer to optimize it and leave it as a hack for myself.

Works like a charm. Another fine hack Amy, Thx!

perhaps a file update wothout the typo's would be good

[tokenyank]

Just tried this and despite using the file edit or the hook/plugin I get the same results...

Any option older than 24 hours works fine... Any option 'younger' than 24 hours (i.e. the 15 mins or 1 hour) still displays 24 hours of posts...

Any ideas?

[tokenyank]

guess not!

} 


Btw: There is a small typo in the instructions: 'seconds' => TYPT_UINT instead of 'seconds' => TYPE_UINT

That was close but to do that you need to change if from using days. Like I used days2 and changed the navbar to reflect it to use it as a plugin. Becuase by then days will already be set to one if it was less then one.

why why why

I can't get it working. I should be a box at the new posts with all these options right? Nothing is changed at my side. And I have done everything the receipt tells me to.

I can't test to see if it is working on your site because you don't allow guests to use search.
