Recent Posts in menu bar

[riker]

Does anyone know the code to add the Recent Posts link to the menu bar as it looks like SMF doesn't intend on adding it to the menu.  I've attached an image of what I mean as I have it on another board but forgot the code

How to add tabs to Core (NDT)?

Also you could copy code from another board?

This topic relates to adding the same thing for SMF 2 Beta:

If you have SMF 1.1.5, then I can show you how to do it for that version.

Thanks mate,  I searched my index template for "recent posts" and found this so just copied it to the new one

Code Select Expand

// Recent Post
echo ($current_action == 'recent' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'recent' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=recent">' , $txt[214] , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'recent' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

Sorry to come back with this but I have updated my sons site to SMF 2.0 and the code doesn't work with that so does anyone have updated code for 2.0 ?

Have a read of this post:

You will need to have a look at the 'setupMenuContext()' from your Subs.php file.

Is that were the code needs adding now because I'm next to useless with php

Okay, well these edits will work:

Find this code (subs.php):

Code Select Expand

         'login' => array(
            'title' => $txt['login'],
            'href' => $scripturl . '?action=login',
            'show' => $user_info['is_guest'],
            'sub_buttons' => array(
            ),
         ),

Add this code before it:

Code Select Expand

         'unread' => array(
             'title' => 'Unread Posts',
             'href' => $scripturl . '?action=unread',
             'show' =>  !$user_info['is_guest'],
             'sub_buttons' => array(
             ),
          ),
          'unreadreplies' => array(
              'title' => 'Unread Replies',
              'href' => $scripturl . '?action=unreadreplies',
              'show' =>  !$user_info['is_guest'],
              'sub_buttons' => array(
              ),
           ),

You may wish to replace 'title' => 'Unread Replies' and 'Unread Posts' with the titles that you want them to have. If you have multiple languages, then you may be able to find a SMF language string to do it for you, I can do that if necessary.

You may need to clear the file cache, under "Maintenance" -> "Forum Maintenance" -> "Empty the file cache".

Thanks for your help LHVWB but as you can see that isn't Recent Posts, ending  "/index.php?action=recent"

You can see on this thread the code I used on SMF 1.1.x but it doesn't work on SMF 2.0

Ah, okay. Sorry I obviously misinterpreted what you want.

Here is the code you will need to add for a Recent Posts button:

Code Select Expand

'recent' => array(
'title' => $txt['recent_posts'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=recent',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

I have used a SMF language string for the title, so it will work in any language that SMF is using.

Thanks LHVWB your a star, I've managed to get it just as I like it now   Shame SMF couldn't have added such a widely used feature like this as standard on the menu bar

There is a link for that in welcome text for user.
