2.2.0: Forums action link in forumjump

[Amasov]

Hi there!

Problem:
I wanted to integrate the Link "..../search.php?action=getdaily" in my forumjump. I've searched this whole site, if there was a description for that, the only thing I have found was for an earlier Version of vB.

So therefore I made it on my own.

If somebody haves a better Idea to fix it, please tell me.

I've made the following steps and for users who wants to make the same (it works for all kind of Links):

Step 1:

Open forumdisplay.php and find this:

// jump from forumjump
$goto = '';
switch($forumid) {
        case 'home': $goto = 'index'; break;
        case 'search': $goto = 'search'; break;
        case 'pm': $goto = 'private'; break;
        case 'wol': $goto = 'online'; break;
        case 'cp': $goto = 'usercp'; break;

insert anywhere between these cases something like this:

case 'tf':$goto = 'twentyfour'; break;

Step 2:

Create a new .php file with your Notepad (i.e. something else which is a plain text editor) which name is twentyfour.php

Insert the following:

<?php
error_reporting(7);

 header("Location: search.php?s=$sessionhash&action=getdaily");
 exit;

?>

Step 3:
Upload forumdisplay.php and twentyfour.php to your forums home directory.

Go to the Admin CP and make following changes to the forumjump-Template

Step 4:

Find:

<option value="-1" $defaultselected>Please select one:</option>
<option value="-1">--------------------</option>
<option value="pm" $frmjmpsel[pm]>Private Messages</option>
<option value="cp" $frmjmpsel[usercp]>User Control Panel</option>
<option value="wol" $frmjmpsel[wol]>Who's Online</option>
<option value="search" $frmjmpsel[search]>Search Forums</option>
<option value="home" $frmjmpsel[home]>Forums Home</option>
<option value="-1">--------------------</option>

Insert where you want to display the modification this:

<option value="tf" $frmjmpsel[search]>Messages last 24h</option>

(No more steps and changes! )

If you did it alright it will be displayed like this:



You may change the variables tf , twentyfour and the twentyfour.php for your needs.
But remember:
a) When you are going to change the "tf"-Variable, you have to change it also in the forumjump-Template.
b) When you are going to change the "twentyfour"-Variable, you have to change also the "twentyfour.php".

So then, have a nice day.

Regards,
Chris.
