[Jake Bunce]

How do I add the number of new posts since last visit to my FORUMHOME?

Go to your:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> PHP Include Code Templates -> phpinclude_start

Add this code:

// GET NUMBER OF NEW POSTS
$newposts = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT count(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE dateline > '$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]'");

// DETERMINE IF "POSTS" IS SINGULAR OR PLURAL
if ($newposts[count] == 1)
{
    $newposts[plural] = "";
}
else
{
    $newposts[plural] = "s";
} 

Then go to your:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Forum Home Templates -> FORUMHOME

Add this code where ever you want the message to show up:

<a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew">$newposts[count] new post$newposts[plural]</a>
