Last posts since last visit!

[xGriffin]

I really need this mod for 3.7 or 3.6 if it will work on 3.7. It's a little thing under your PM's saying:

xxx Posts since last visit

Does anyone have this please? thanks.

Yeah, it never seems to work for me either. (I use 3.7.)

You have to set the settings correctly lol.

Actually, I did and it still wouldn't work. I've used the mod a couple of years ago on another forum I had that operated on vBulletin 3.6 and it worked just fine then.

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: global_start
Title: New post on top of forums
Plugin PHP Code:

$newposts = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post " . iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'], 'LEFT JOIN ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'threadread AS threadread ON (threadread.threadid = post.threadid AND threadread.userid = ' . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ')') . " WHERE dateline >= " . $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit'] . iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'], ' AND dateline > IF(threadread.readtime IS NULL, ' . (TIMENOW - ($vbulletin->options['markinglimit'] * 86400)) . ', threadread.readtime)'));
$newposts = vb_number_format($newposts['count']);

Plugin is Active: yes


Then put this where ever you want it in a template:

$vbphrase[new_posts] since your last visit: <a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew">$newposts</a>

I put mine at the very end of navbar. This should work on 3.7 and 3.8.

Having battled with this for longer than I care to remember as my members really wanted this back on the navbar and not in notifications, I have to say a massive 'THANKS' to you BBR-APBT as want you recommended worked a treat with 3.8.4.

If I dare to push the boat out what code would I need to implement to get the 'New rep since last visit' working in the same place?

I'm somewhat of a novice with this stuff, hence why I'm asking.

Thanks again!
