Show post in "new posts"

[ajmcce]

I looked through the forums and cannot find this anywhere.

The need: When the user clicks on "new posts" I want them to be able to see the results showing the full posts, not just the titles.

For example, if I do a real search, we have the option of showing posts in the results. Thats EXACTLY what i want as the behavior for "new posts".

SMF forums has something similar. It's called "lastest posts" and the results are up to the last 100 posts with all the text, not just the titles.

maybe I am missing it but i simply cant find this anywhere. I saw one hack here that seems to address it but couldnt get it to work with vBulletin 4.0.6 Patch Level 1

Any idea?
TIA

I cant believe this isnt being done anywhere?

if you just add "&showposts=1" to the search url it will return the posts like it does in the search results...

So your URL to net new posts would be something like:
search.php?do=getnew&showposts=1

LL - wow... have looked for that answer for soooooo long.

OK, one last question then... if i dont want to have the posts trimmed or trimmed to a different length, can I adjust that in the admin or template somewhere?

You might also be able to help me out with this too. (another search results question)

I answered the last question, no idea about the length of the search results though.

Thanks for the answer. i replied. Still not quite working. Explained in that thread.

Understood on the length. i cant find it anywhere... will keep looking.

And BTW... thanks for the replies thus far. Didnt know where else I would get answers.

If you wouldnt mind one more quick peak at the other thread. The if thens are not returning true in either case.

I have crawled through every spot in the app that I can think of.
Does anyone know how to remove or change the trim length on search results when showposts=1 is used?
