New posts since last visit for v3.8.1

[NJAquaman]

How do I add the number of new posts since last visit globally so
i can put it anywhere in any template?:confused:


$newposts or $newpost[count] ....... should be a number for that user

Prob has to be a plugin or hook...:rolleyes:


thanks.:D

Here is an old guide for that:

But there is no longer a phpinclude_start template. You need to use a plugin now. If you need help with this code then you can post on www.vbulletin.org.

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
$pcount = $vbphrase['no_new_posts_welcome'];
$postcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
SELECT COUNT(dateline) as pcount
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post
WHERE dateline > ".$vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit']
);
if ($postcount['pcount'])
{
if ($postcount['pcount'] == 1)
{
$pcount = "1 ";
}

{
$pcount = $postcount['pcount'];
}
}
$pcount = $pcount;
}Global Variable you can put anywhere


$pcountit will display the # of new post for that user when the user is lodged in !

NOTE - if it doesn't display in a certin section of you site , make shore you put the $pcount/pcount in the global section of that product!


Thanks Jake!
