View posts in last [x] hours

[Reef]

My last board was PHPbb and this is one mod that 'everyone' misses since we have switched to VB3

This is excellent for members who login from different computers or locations throughout the day and, would like to go back to to a certain period of time when they get home.

Please see the screenshot for a better idea of what I mean.

This will be a very useful mod to many people and I'm sure greatly appreciated by more than just myself.

Thanks to whoever will give it a try

you want view posts in last [x] horus in forumdisplay or in search ?

[Reef]

forumdisplay would be most convienient but, it really wouldn't matter it's located

thanks

Why don't you just modify the search template and add more time frames to this dropdown box?

[Reef]

That is just an option to modify a normal keyword search which is not what I need.

What I am requesting functions like the 'new posts' feature.. (no need for a search term, it will locate all board posts in the last selected hours)

open (FORUMDISPLAY) templates:

find:

<select name="daysprune" style="width:125px">

after that add:

<option value="900">15 min</option>
<option value="1800">30 min</option>
<option value="2700">45 min</option>
<option value="3600">1 Hours</option>
<option value="7200">2 Hours</option>
<option value="21600">6 Hours</option>
<option value="43200">12 Hours</option>

open forumdisplay.php

find:

PHP Code:

        $datecut = '';
        $show['noposts'] = true;
    } 


after that add:

PHP Code:

$all_the_vb = array(900,1800,2700,3600,7200,21600,43200);

if(in_array ($daysprune,$all_the_vb))
    {
        $datecut = "AND lastpost >= " . (TIMENOW - ($daysprune));
        $show['noposts'] = false;
}

is there a way to get something like this on the "new posts" page? that will cover all forums?

here is an example of what would be perfect, but it is on a snitz forum:
www.generation-edge.com

maybe something to fit in around this area:

[trevelyn1015]

none of you super capable coders can come up with a "view posts since x amount of time" that displays on the "new posts" page ??????????
