[vB 3.0.3] Replace Today's/New Posts Links with Dropdown

This small template mod is for the vB 3.0.3 navbar template. This mod replaces the Today's Posts/New Posts links with a Get Posts dropdown menu. It only works when vB dropdowns are allowed, otherwise the default vB link is displayed. The dropdown includes a link to New Posts as well as links to daily posts from the last week. Note that vB does 'getdaily' searches on 24-hour cycles so, for example, selecting '2 Days Ago' in the dropdown gets all posts in the last 48 hours. Directions to exlude forums from Get Posts search results are also included, and after adding some vB phrases, only the vB 3.0.3 navbar template needs to be edited for this mod to work.

The links for this mod appear to be broken?

The varname you specified for this phrase is invalid. You may only include a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and _ (underscore).

It tried to lay in this $vbphrase[get_posts_nav]

You need to just enter this:

get_posts_nav



NO BRACKETS

After the "=" you enter that part into the bigger box

This is exactly what my users were asking for! :up:

Here's something you may want to combine with this template mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=73077

It allows you to check minutes and hours instead of just days.
