'New posts' button?

Postby Horse » Mon Sep 28, 2015 10:10 am

I know there's a link in the 'radiator' Quick Links option, but could we have a dedicated 'new posts' in the header?

Ta :)

absolutely! my favourite short cut as well...

I haven't done much with PHPBB for many years, so just finding my way around a bit - not sure if this is a simple option in the control panel, or whether I will have to modify the code - either way, definitely will do it - but might take a day or two...

No worries, thanks for [probably] sorting :)

I use the type ahead / auto complete in the URL to straight to the list too.

Needs a mod to the style Alasdair. I'd do it but I don't have that option.

Edit index_body.html and add:

<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_SEARCH or (S_USER_LOGGED_IN and not S_IS_BOT) -->
<ul class="linklist">
<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_SEARCH -->
<li><a href="{U_SEARCH_UNANSWERED}">{L_SEARCH_UNANSWERED}</a><!-- IF S_LOAD_UNREADS --> &bull; <a href="{U_SEARCH_UNREAD}">{L_SEARCH_UNREAD}</a><!-- ENDIF --><!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --> &bull; <a href="{U_SEARCH_NEW}">{L_SEARCH_NEW}</a><!-- ENDIF --> &bull; <a href="{U_SEARCH_ACTIVE_TOPICS}">{L_SEARCH_ACTIVE_TOPICS}</a></li>
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- IF not S_IS_BOT and U_MARK_FORUMS --><li class="rightside"><a href="{U_MARK_FORUMS}" accesskey="m">{L_MARK_FORUMS_READ}</a></li><!-- ENDIF -->
</ul>
<!-- ENDIF -->

Which will give

Edit as appropriate - I rather like "active topics" myself.

okay - not quite that simple -t he change to version 3.1 has made the template responsive and brought in the quick links menu... so that seems to no longer work...

tracking it down!

now done - found where it lives (navbar_header.html) and moved it out of the quick links menu to the bar...
ditched the faq button as that refers simply to an faq on PHPBB3.1 which is probably of little interest to anyone...
when you go responsive the links should collapse back into the menu bar

ADUK had a button to take you to the first unread post in a topic. I always found it useful. Could it be replicated on here, please?
