Handy link to search for "New Posts in Only This Forum" · **Released**: 03-17-2007

Not a blockbuster by any means. Just a simple (yet effective) little link, makes it easy to find the new posts in that particular forum. (If there are NO new posts in a forum, the text link on forumhome says "old" instead.)

In FORUMDISPLAY template, find:

Code:

	<td class="tcat" width="100%">$vbphrase[threads_in_forum]<span class="normal"> : $foruminfo[title]</span></td>

Replace with:

Code:

<td class="tcat" width="100%">$vbphrase[threads_in_forum]<span class="normal"> : $foruminfo[title] <a href="search.php?do=getnew&include=$foruminfo[forumid]">(new in <b>bold</b>)</a></span></td>

In forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template, find:

Code:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

Replace with:

Code:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a> <span class="smallfont"><a href="search.php?do=getnew&include=$forum[forumid]">$forum[statusicon]</a></span>

...done.

Screenshot/attachment shows what it looks like.

Dont work for me

Tralala · #4 03-18-2007, 05:17 AM

Doesn't work, how? Does the link not show up at all? Or does clicking it not result in showing that forum's new posts?

rjmjr69 · #5 03-18-2007, 05:38 AM

Sorry for being so vague. No it does not appear at all. I have VB 3.6.5 checked the edit multiple times still not displaying.

Tralala · #6 03-18-2007, 05:41 AM

Check both screenshots. Neither of those show up?

rjmjr69 · #7 03-18-2007, 06:25 AM

Nope neither show. And I made multiple new post's

I suspect it's an issue with your unique skin. Can you try in another skin, like the vBulletin default, just to confirm? By no means am I an advanced coder... but this is a real simple one, and it works for me with two skins.

I tried the default still nothing. does OLD show up instead of new? lol Cause I have that showing on some threads....lol

rjmjr69, you are doing something wrong. I checked whether there's something wrong in the codes or not, but there is nothing wrong.

Congratulations and thanks Tralala.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
