In quick links I used to find an option called " get daily " but can't find where it is in the new version?
although writing its url directly works great

Should be like this: forum/search.php?do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Postwhile(true){
if($someone->needsHelp() && $i->canHelp()) $post->help();
if($i->findBug()) $post->bug();
}

Todays Posts used to be in Quicklinks I believe, but it seems its been removed.Baby, I was born this wayComment

thx for replyComment

IncubuRs, I'm sort of rusty in my vB skills. Could you give me any pointers as to how you acomplished the manual addition of this? It would be greatly appreciated. I run a small board and the Daily-feature is much used on our board.Comment

I found it under the "What's New" tab.
Sorry, there are no new posts to view.
You may search for posts updated during the previous 24 hours, hereComment

I found it there as well, and fair enough, one could add a bookmark in ones browser to have the functionality available. What I'm saying is that there are times when the New Posts function and the Last days posts have their separate purpose. Consider the following example.When I'm at work I cant view YouTube videos due to my employers content filtering policies. On my board we use a thread prefix ("YouTube") for posts that involves something useful posted on YouTube. Now, being at work, I would naturally want to keep any new post with that prefix in an unread status until I get home. Iow, I dont want to use the Mark all forums read --> New posts (null result) --> "...previous 24 hours, here" approach. That's when Todays posts kicks in as very useful (for a small board) imho. You can see active topics/threads for the day without potentially missing out on other content.Did that make any sense at all? It's hard to explain. It is tempting to draw the conclusion that vB has simply removed the menu option for Todays posts because the functionally (in itself) is propably mostly useful on small/very small boards.

Go to your admin pages. Navigate Styles & Templates --> Style Manager --> (pick the drop-down for the style that you wish to modify) --> Choose Edit Templates in the drop-down. You'll now see a long list of all your templates on the leftish side of the page. Locate Navbar & Bredcrumb Templates, double-click it and choose Navbar by double-clicking it. You'll now be inside the correct template. Locate the following code (two places in the template):
Insert the following code on the row just below the above code:Code:<li><a href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase new_posts_nav}</a></li>
I did this on the two places in the template. One that affects the Forum navigation button and its underlying options, and one instance for the Whats New buttons respective choices.Code:<li><a href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase todays_posts}</a></li>
I hope that will sort the matter out for you. Please provide feedback in either case.
Good luck.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I looked for your codes you listed and i don't have that exact code in that template, this is what i have, very subtle difference:-
Code:<li><a href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase new_posts_nav}</a></li>I pasted in your 2nd code and it didn't work for meCode:<li><a href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase todays_posts}</a></li>Last edited by The Gismo Man; Wed 30 Dec '09, 12:22pm.https://thebookjoint.com/forums/forum.php - for all things relating to books especially Jack ReacherComment

Hi again. Sorry for taking time to reply. I looked at your template code above and from what I can see (although it is still eraly in the morning) your code is identical as the rows I pasted above. Could you point of the exact difference?
I am by no means a wizard when it comes to vB but I usually get around fine. I does my head in that this doesnt work on your board. The only thing(s) and can come to think that could make this not work is either if you modify the template in style X and then look for results on style Y (Y not being a child style of X that is). The other possibility could be that some either browser cache or proxy server is hindering you from seeing results immediately.
Is there anyone else here who could provide some pointers if were on the right track?Comment

On the same subject, it used to be easy to create a line that would get the last 7 days, 2 weeks, or even hours, but I can't seem to work this out now, anyone know?Comment
