Thanks, works great in my testing area!

But I've two questions:

1.) What is the difference between this mod and the standard "View Active Topics" - except for the exact last 24 hours? I don't understand yet fully, where this mod can be an added value?

2.) I'm missing a script für the subsilver2-templates. Will you add this in the next version?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

The search results will disappear from "View Active Topics" after you read the thread or mark the forum read. I had some users who wanted to see the active topics in the last day regardless of if they had read them or not. I think they got used to this feature on vBulletin boards and got cranky w/o it.

I can't promise anything right now. None of my boards are using subsilver2.

Thanks for your statement. But that's very strange: In my board (3.0.0. Gold) the "View Active Topics" is not influenced by viewing posts, mark-forums-read, logging-out, deleting cookies etc. - It always (!) shows exactly (!) the same topics as your "Today's Posts"-mod, especially when I choose to show active topics of the last 1 day

So, at least for me - there is absolutely no difference...

Hey! glad you came up with this MOD. just one small problem with the apostrophe...

Just because your boards don't use subsilver doesn't mean that's the case for everyone else. If you want everyone to be able to use this mod you should write it for both templates.

Open subsilver/templates/overall_header.html:

Find

Code: Select all

<a href="{U_SEARCH_ACTIVE_TOPICS}">{L_SEARCH_ACTIVE_TOPICS}</a>

After, add

Code: Select all

 | <a href="{U_SEARCH_TODAY}">{L_SEARCH_TODAY}</a>

Open subsilver/templates/search_results.html

Find

Code: Select all

		<td class="cat" colspan="7" valign="middle" align="center"><!-- IF S_SELECT_SORT_DAYS or S_SELECT_SORT_KEY or S_SELECT_SORT_DIR --><span class="gensmall">{L_DISPLAY_POSTS}:</span> {S_SELECT_SORT_DAYS}<!-- IF S_SELECT_SORT_KEY or S_SELECT_SORT_DIR -->&nbsp;<span class="gensmall">{L_SORT_BY}:</span> {S_SELECT_SORT_KEY} {S_SELECT_SORT_DIR}<!-- ENDIF -->&nbsp;<input class="btnlite" type="submit" value="{L_GO}" name="sort" /><!-- ENDIF --></td>

Replace with

Code: Select all

		<td class="cat" colspan="7" valign="middle" align="center"><!-- IF S_SELECT_SORT_DAYS or S_SELECT_SORT_KEY or S_SELECT_SORT_DIR --><span class="gensmall"><!-- IF S_SHOW_TOPICS -->{L_DISPLAY_TOPICS}<!-- ELSE -->{L_DISPLAY_POSTS}<!-- ENDIF -->:</span> {S_SELECT_SORT_DAYS}<!-- IF S_SELECT_SORT_KEY or S_SELECT_SORT_DIR -->&nbsp;<span class="gensmall">{L_SORT_BY}:</span> <!-- IF S_SELECT_SORT_KEY -->{S_SELECT_SORT_KEY}&nbsp;<!-- ENDIF -->
				<!-- IF S_SELECT_SORT_DIR -->{S_SELECT_SORT_DIR}<!-- ENDIF --><!-- ENDIF -->&nbsp;<input class="btnlite" type="submit" value="{L_GO}" name="sort" /><!-- ENDIF --></td>

Though it seems to be working for me, I am not sure if the edits to search_results.html are entirely correct, if they are incorrect please post the correct ones.

I choose to use a UTF-8 apostrophe. You can also use

Code: Select all

\'

I made this same mod for phpBB2. But back then it was called "Posts in Last 24 hours." You can change the line in the language file to be whatever you want.

This MOD doesn't get a lot of traffic but I wanted to give a heads up. I will be on vacation and away from a computer for three weeks. Starting 9/26/08 thru 10/18/08. I will answer any posts when I return. Thanks.

Peter77sx · Post by **Peter77sx** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 5:07 am

Thanks for the tip, I do remeber escaping it, but that did not seem to work. I am starting overs on a new test board one more time before I convert my site over and I will take second look into it.

Thanks for this MOD.

Thanks for this mod. Would it be possible to include/exclude some specific forums ?

Thanks

sedaniel · Post by **sedaniel** » Mon Nov 24, 2008 7:15 pm

So I installed this mod, but when I go to my index.php page the link for viewing new posts does not appear. Can someone help me? My site is http://hogwarts-interactive.com.

EDIT: Nvm! Figured it out. Thank you!

I tried installing this mod today, but there were errors. I'll have a go later installing manually, but thought I would report the error here.

Tony.
