[IPB3] View New Content and no new content

[Michael.J]

I use the View New Posts function on IPB2.3 quite a bit and having the page title change to Board Message is extremely useful when searching through lots of forums.
Any change of something similar happening in IPB3 for View New Content?

[Michael.J]

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Maybe they can add something like "No Results Found" in the title page?

Board Message doesn't give a correct idea of "no results found" unless you know it, so it might confuse new members :o

Even better terabyte, any thoughts on this from the devs?

Sorry to bump, just wanted to see if this could be included at all? yay or nay from IPS? Would it be better to post this in the tracker?

It's not a bug, so I wouldn't post it in the bug tracker.

It's a simple enough suggestion, but right now we're simply concentrating on finishing up what we have now. Might be something to revisit in 3.0.1 or something.

I'm not sure if IPS are still considering this for a future version but if anyone else wants this feature I was able to add this to my board by changing the following in admin/applications/core/modules_public/search/search.php (I've had it on the last week, haven't found any bugs and should work for each tab)



I browse quite a few forums in many tabs and being able to tell quickly if any content is there, is saving me and the forums admin a bit of bandwidth. I'm guessing dialup users would find this useful as well.

$this->title = $this->lang->words['new_posts_title'];

to        

if( $total_results )

    {

        $this->title = $this->lang->words['new_posts_title'];    

    }

    else

    {

        $this->title = "No New Content";    

    }
