After installing this mod I get an error when clicking on New Posts. It says it can't find the search.php?do=getnew file.

Good hack! Installed.

Request for you...

Can it be made so the forums are listed in the order they are inserted into the "hack options" list? Right now, it orders them alphabetically.

Also, can it be made so that the forums listed are ONLY shown if they have new posts made in them? Otherwise, they aren't shown on the dropdown? This way I could add every forum and only the ones posted in latest would show!

Thanks!

Also, it works 100% on my forums index (www.pomoforacing.com/forums). However, the "new posts" link does not work on my main page (vbAdvanced cmps).

On the forums index, the link goes to http://www.pomoforacing.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew

On the home page (vbadvanced cmps), the link goes to http://www.pomoforacing.com/search.php?do=getnew (note the absence of "forum"). As a result, I get a "can't be found". How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Ah! That's the problem I'm having! It works in the main forum, but not vBadvanced. Good catch Blue91.

Funny, I was working on coding something like this today as my second mod ever... now I don't need to. Thanks again!

Although, I'm kinda pissed that I have to think of something new to mess around with!

Ok, I installed, but have some issues.

The issues are, I use a custom style. It changes the default style without a problem. The bigger issue is, if it's enable, it breaks my custom style display.

I know this isn't really a fault of the mod, but am looking for any help you can provide as I'd like to use this!

My custom style has the navbar info in the header template, not the navbar template (Don't ask me why, I didn't make it, I just bought it).

This mod will remove the "new Posts" in the header, but it's not replaced with anything. so it's basically gone.

Can you tell me what I would need to insert into my header section to display this correctly in my custom style?

UPDATE: I've gotten the link working properly in vBadvanced, but it doesn't seem to be displaying the new message number correctly.

To fix the link search your style(s) for search.php

In the list select cyb_advancednewposts

Find the href="search.php?" and replace with href="/<forum dir>/search.php?"

This will get the links working properly under vBadvanced.

That got me fixed thunderclap82. Good job. I just changed it so I haven't gotten enough posts yet since I did it to see if the message number is correct.

Hopefully Cyb can help me with the other inquiries that I had about this mod!

Cybernetec: Do you do any custom work? Meaning I could toss a couple bucks your way? There's no way to contact you privately so... I'm leaving this message.

Anyway, let me know. I just want this mod tweaked to work with my forum templates.

[Blue91]

thunderclap82.... as it turns out, by adding forums/ in front of the search.php callout like you said, my newposts link on the actual forums doesn't work now.

So I'm back to square one, as described in post #4. Can someone out there help?

I suck at coding but I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to have to turn the entire cyb_advancednewposts template into an if/then statement. I have no idea how to do that (yet).

Blue91 have you added this hack string to vb advanced in admincp.

ie. the bit where you specify prefix urls.?

Change /<forum dir>/ to

{$vbulletin->options[bburl]}/

I also had to change this:
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="cyb_forumsearch_menu" style="display:none">

To this:
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="cyb_forumsearch_menu" style="display:none;margin-top:3px" align="$stylevar[left]">

Still trying to locate the space in toolbar just before the "New Posts" text.

I wouldn't know where to add it. It looks like I got the search issue taken care of though (thanks infopro).

Now the issue is like thunderclap82 mentioned above... the "numbering" feature doesn't work with the main page. It just says "No New Posts". However, it works fine with the forums index, showing how many new posts there really are.
