View Full Version : "TODAY" Link up top

As you might have noticed, there is a "Today" link up top. This may link to something good, it may link to something bad, I will be testing/updating this link to get it set correctly to what we want. As of this instant it is showing all posts on the board, not just the last 24 hours. If you follow the time on the posts you can find the last 24 hours.

Nice to see a chronological listing. Can you fix it where it shows the whole text and shows pictures?

GLMaster, could You post the coding behind that link? I can see that "Today" runs html code:
http://castboolits.gunloads.com/search2.php?search_id=newposts
I don't know what's inside that search2 with id newposts, but If there is normal coding where character count is presented with numbers, probably 200 in this case, it could be edited to list all characters by replacing 200 with -1 (minus one that is), for example: &return_chars=-1

One other phpBB forum uses following codes hidden behind "Today / Two days" links to perform quick searches, but these are not working correctly here for some reason; maybe because of the different calendar system or differences in the basic coding or enabled options or who knows what... HTML is OFF for example in this CB forum.

&show_results=topics&return_chars=0 should list topics only and &show_results=posts&return_chars=-1 should list whole posts with all characters, but these seems to list here only about 200 characters instead of topics only or whole posts...:

Today with topics:
http://castboolits.gunloads.com/search.php?search_keywords=&search_terms=any&searc h_author=*&search_forum=-1&search_time=1&search_fields=all&search_cat=-1&sort_by=0&sort_dir=DESC&show_results=topics&retu rn_chars=0

Today with whole posts:
http://castboolits.gunloads.com/search.php?search_keywords=&search_terms=any&searc h_author=*&search_forum=-1&search_time=1&search_fields=all&search_cat=-1&sort_by=0&sort_dir=DESC&show_results=posts&retur n_chars=-1

Two days with topics:
http://castboolits.gunloads.com/search.php?search_keywords=&search_terms=any&searc h_author=*&search_forum=-1&search_time=2&search_fields=msgonly&search_cat =-1&sort_by=0&sort_dir=DESC&show_results=topics&retu rn_chars=0

Two days with whole posts:
http://castboolits.gunloads.com/search.php?search_keywords=&search_terms=any&searc h_author=*&search_forum=-1&search_time=2&search_fields=msgonly&search_cat =-1&sort_by=0&sort_dir=DESC&show_results=posts&retur n_chars=-1


HTML for Today / Two days" with topics would be something like:

<a href="http://castboolits.gunloads.com/search.php?search_keywords=&search_terms=any&searc h_author=*&search_forum=-1&search_time=1&search_fields=all&search_cat=-1&sort_by=0&sort_dir=DESC&show_results=topics&retu rn_chars=0">Today</a> / <a href="http://castboolits.gunloads.com/search.php?search_keywords=&search_terms=any&searc h_author=*&search_forum=-1&search_time=2&search_fields=all&search_cat=-1&sort_by=0&sort_dir=DESC&show_results=topics&retu rn_chars=0">Two days</a>

&search_time=# is for day count. Hope this gives some ideas.

Dang Finn! I could have used you a few days ago! :D

I actually found a mod that works pretty good (click the "Today" button to check it out)

I would still like it to display pictures...

On the Today feature, I really liked the choice of going to the forum and the particular thread but you've changed it now.

The formatting is just a little different, you still have direct access to the forum and the thread, Just glance the new format over and see.
