thanks,, this feature should be in vb 3.8
Nice

imedic · #3 09-27-2008, 05:07 PM

Very usefull. Coincidentally I was looking for a mod / hack to have new messages from selective forums (user selectable)
Users complain they want to read new posts only in some forums.
Maybe can be added here...

simonhind's method didn't work for me.
But xixxon's did like a charm

Thanks dude !!

TheSupportForum · #6 09-28-2008, 06:56 AM

its the same method but in more detail, it you have a custom template other than the default then XIXXONs method wont work as

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

does not exist

it might me

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

and it might not be in template : navbar

xixxon · #7 09-28-2008, 05:42 PM

yeah it depends on the style, the code above based on the default ones

Martell · #8 09-28-2008, 06:24 PM

carrlos · #9 09-28-2008, 06:25 PM
