MOD REQUEST: searching POSTS and not TOPICS

[jxhndxe]

I'm interested in knowing if there's a mod that changes the "posts since last visit" link (and others like it) so that it actually lists posts, and not topics. It seems to me that it makes more sense to list the individual posts. As it is now, you see the topics that the posts are in, but then you have to look for the posts yourself.

If not already done, could a mod please be created to do that? I also have the "search back" mod installed (drop down that lets you see posts within the past 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes, etc). If that could be modified as well, that would be swell.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Open search.php, find this:

Code: Select all

            if ( $userdata['session_logged_in'] )
            {
               $sql = "SELECT post_id
                  FROM " . POSTS_TABLE . "
                  WHERE post_time >= " . $userdata['user_lastvisit'];
            }
            else
            {
               redirect(append_sid("login.$phpEx?redirect=search.$phpEx&search_id=newposts", true));
            }

            $show_results = 'topics';
            $sort_by = 0;
            $sort_dir = 'DESC';


and replace $show_results = 'topics'; with $show_results = 'posts';

Thanks! If I wanted to create a "toggle" link that would allow users to go between posts and topics, could you tell me how that would be done?

I appreciate your time.

I don't think that's possible.

Okay, no matter. Thank you much for your help!
