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

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.

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.
