This adds forum section-specific New Posts, New Thread and Search links to the index page.

New Posts will only appear when there are new posts in that section and will only list new posts from the section.
New Thread will start a new thread in that section.
Search will start a search for only that section.

A search did bring up something similar but it was neither as complete nor as aesthetically pleasing (to me). I apologise if this is duplicated.

Open your forumhome_forumbit_level1/2_post template.



FIND:
Code:
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']">
<div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div>
</if>
AFTER, ADD:
Code:
<if condition="$forum[statusicon]=='new' OR $forum[statusicon]=='old'">
     <div class="smallfont">
          <if condition="$forum[statusicon]=='new'"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew&amp;include=$forum[forumid]">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a> | </if>
          <a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow">New Thread</a>
          <if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">| <a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search]</a></if>
     </div>
</if>


Optional extras:
- Subscription code for each feed type, all conditionals so they'll only appear if you've turned that type on.
- Unsubscribe moved to the linkfest since it seems to fit better there. Be sure to delete the very similar code which appears immediately below where this code is inserted, everything between <if condition="$show['forumsubscription']"> and </if>.

Code:
<if condition="$forum[statusicon]=='new' OR $forum[statusicon]=='old'">
     <div class="smallfont">
          <if condition="$forum[statusicon]=='new'"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew&amp;include=$forum[forumid]">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a> | </if>
          <a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow">New Thread</a>
          <if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">| <a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search]</a></if>
          <if condition="$vbulletin->options['externalrss']">| <a href="external.php?type=rss2&forumids=$forum[forumid]">RSS Feed</a></if>
          <if condition="$vbulletin->options['externalxml']">| <a href="external.php?type=xml&forumids=$forum[forumid]">XML Feed</a></if>
          <if condition="$vbulletin->options['externaljs']">| <a href="external.php?type=js&forumids=$forum[forumid]">JS Feed</a></if>
          <if condition="$show['forumsubscription']">| <a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;f=$forum[forumid]">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_forum]</a></if>
</if>

Update:
- The conditional should now be correct so the links will only appear for open forums. It's up to you if you want to change that.
- The search link is now wrapped in a conditional so it doesn't appear when it's not wanted, most likely for Guests, New Thread is also now controlled as far as is possible by the statusicon conditional. Permission to start a new thread is only checked after clicking the link as far as I can tell, so it can't be done perfectly.
- Not a big deal, but added rel="nofollow" in a couple of places where the links aren't any use to search engines.


Known Issues:
- If there is no permission to start a new thread or search and there are no new posts to view but the unsubscribe link or a feed link appears then the line will begin with a |. It could be solved with a loooooooot of conditionals but it's not worth it. Change the formatting (use of |) if it bothers you.

Try replacing it with this:

Code:
<if condition="!$forum[statusicon] == 'new_lock' OR !$forum[statusicon] == 'old_lock' OR !$forum[statusicon] == 'link'">
<div class="smallfont">
<if condition="$forum[statusicon]=='new'">
<a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew&include=$forum[forumid]">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a> |
</if>
<a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$forum[forumid]">New Thread</a> |
<a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$vbphrase[search]</a>
</div>
</if>
That should (untested) mean that if the forum isn't locked or a link, display the links. Search is included in that, so if you want to allow people to search locked forums you'll have to move the </if> tag up so the Search link is outside it.

I will try this... Do you know how many queries this gernerates on every page load?

None. Not even a fairly large amount of conditionals will slow things down.

umm,,

http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/f7/3...cribe-rss.html

I got this code from Keith Cohen months ago
with his permission

[New Thread] - [Search] - [Subscribe] - [RSS]

if you like what we've added at vBulletin Setup and want it on your site here is your code..

Here's the code I use in forumbit level 1 and 2:

Code:
<if condition="$forum[link] == ''">
<span class="tinyfont">
 - [<a href="/forums/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=$forum[forumid]" title="Post a new thread in $forum[title]">New Thread</a>] - [<a href="/forums/search.php?forumid=$forum[forumid]" title="Search $forum[title]">Search</a>] - [<a href="/forums/subscription.php?do=addsubscription&f=$forum[forumid]" title="Subscribe to $forum[title]">Subscribe</a>] - [<a href="/forums/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=$forum[forumid]" target="_blank" title="RSS feed for $forum[title]">RSS</a>]
</span>
</if>
this assumes your vb is in a forums/ folder..

and like on our site, the forum home view don't allow new threads, so it was all useless and we just needed it on the forumdisplay page.. this is how to achieve that..

Code:
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">
main forums page code
</if>


<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay'">
forumsdisplay page code
</if>
and add this to your Additional CSS Definitions to make them small like on here

Code:
.tinyfont { font-size: 9px;}
btw, i just changed style, so i haven't added this code back.. but i did post this last month on the link above, and had it on an old site b4 that

Okee dokee, that'll teach me to post untested code! New version which is thoroughly tested and seems to work, if someone else gives it a whirl and it turns out to be the correct can they let me know so I can properly update.

Update:
- The conditional should now be correct so the links will only appear for open forums. It's up to you if you want to change that.
- The search link is now wrapped in a conditional so it doesn't appear when it's not wanted, most likely for Guests, New Thread is also now controlled as far as is possible by the statusicon conditional. Permission to start a new thread is only checked after clicking the link as far as I can tell, so it can't be done perfectly.
- Not a big deal, but added rel="nofollow" in a couple of places where the links aren't any use to search engines.

Code:
<if condition="$forum[statusicon]=='new' OR $forum[statusicon]=='old'">
     <div class="smallfont">
          <if condition="$forum[statusicon]=='new'"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew&amp;include=f=$forum[forumid]">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a> | </if>
          <a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow">New Thread</a>
          <if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">| <a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search]</a></if>
     </div>
</if>
Update: Optional extras:
- Subscription code for each feed type, all conditionals so they'll only appear if you've turned that type on.
- Unsubscribe moved to the linkfest since it seems to fit better there. Be sure to delete the very similar code which appears immediately below where this code is inserted, everything between <if condition="$show['forumsubscription']"> and </if>.

          <a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow">New Thread</a>
          <if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">| <a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search]</a></if>
          <if condition="$vbulletin->options['externalrss']">| <a href="external.php?type=rss2&forumids=$forum[forumid]">RSS Feed</a></if>
          <if condition="$vbulletin->options['externalxml']">| <a href="external.php?type=xml&forumids=$forum[forumid]">XML Feed</a></if>
          <if condition="$vbulletin->options['externaljs']">| <a href="external.php?type=js&forumids=$forum[forumid]">JS Feed</a></if>
          <if condition="$show['forumsubscription']">| <a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;f=$forum[forumid]">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_forum]</a></if>
</if>

</if>
...

Code:
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">
main forums page code
</if>

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay'">
forumsdisplay page code
</if>
- My code uses session URLs as you are supposed to do, that code doesn't.
- Mine uses conditionals so is automatically adaptable.
- Mine is phrased (admittedly that's barely possible, but I did what I could )
- I know what the THIS_SCRIPT code does, I don't know what it's there for or even where it goes. But I don't think it should be used, it will prevent the links from showing up anywhere else, in the Subscribed Threads forumbit for instance. Come to that I'm not sure that $forum[link] is the correct conditional to use either...
- Mine will display as intended using the existing CSS.

So, as I guessed it had been done before but enough reason to use this one instead.
