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.

Sorry - I did the changes in an old design Everything is fine now

For the old version of this, I created a box on the Advanced Search page that allows users to input exactly how many hours, instead of having a pre-determined drop down list. See screenshot. If anyone's interested, I'll work on doing it again.

If you don't place the code correctly in the template, that can happen.

[BaconDelight]

Okay, I've created a manual input form for the Advanced Search page where a user can put in an exact number of days, hours, and/or minutes to search back.

Love this mod! I'm trying to futz with the last search in the modification in this thread, showing all unanswered threads (which works great as is).

What I want is all unanswered threads in all forums except for forum #17, but I just can't seem to add the forumchoice parameter correctly. Any vb search gurus able to help a guy out? here is the existing code:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&amp;replyless=1&amp;replylimit=0&amp;dontcache=1">Get Unanswered Posts</a></td></tr>

What I have tried is this:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&amp;replyless=1&amp;replylimit=0&amp;forumchoice=[2,3,4]&amp;dontcache=1">Get Unanswered Posts</a></td></tr>

I was going to add all forums but #17, but the search.php seems to not use the forumchoice parameter.

OK, found it. This appears to be working:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&amp;replyless=1&amp;replylimit=0&amp;forumchoice[]=2&amp;forumchoice[]=4&amp;forumchoice[]=5&amp;forumchoice[]=6&amp;forumchoice[]=7&amp;forumchoice[]=9&amp;forumchoice[]=10&amp;forumchoice[]=11&amp;forumchoice[]=19&amp;forumchoice[]=23&amp;forumchoice[]=24&amp;dontcache=1">Get Unanswered Posts</a></td></tr>
