Did you add the edit to your phpinclude_start? I haven't tried it there (where sabret00the suggests) but it looks like it should work with out a problem.

I know this is old but how would I get this to work with vBadvanced? It doesn't show a zero on the portal, just ()

        $newposts = number_format($getnewposts['count']);
//New Posts 


In your navbar template find:

PHP Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><ahref="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew"accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td> 


Replace it with:

PHP Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><ahref="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew"accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a> ($newpostsnew)</td> 


That's it!

I know this thread is old. But will this work as described in 3.7? Also, when i add the code to my phpinclude_start template, do I delete what is there? This is what it has now.

PHP Code:

/*
// Example of how to include a seperate file:

ob_start();
include('yourheader.html');
$your_code = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

// Now place a reference to $your_code where you want the resulting HTML to be displayed.
// This will most likely be the header or footer template.
*/
$getnewpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT count(*) AS posts FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post WHERE dateline > '$bbuserinfo

I think now days you would put the code in a plugin - maybe at the global_start hook location.
