Topic: Is it possible to set/change the "recent items"

Hi,

Is it possible to change the number of _recent items_ as displayed here:

https://www.chordie.com/forum/search.ph … how_recent

Now there is less forum activity, it would be good to be able to set it to a higher number, so we can see items which are a bit further back in the timeline. I couldn't see it in the _Settings_ tab either ...

Cheers

Re: Is it possible to set/change the "recent items"

Hi Neo. Yes, the way I've done it in the past is to "jump to forum" there you'll have a choice of which forum you want to look at. eg: song writing, Bands and artists etc, go to the bottom of the page and there'll be a choice of how many pages you want to go back to, I once went back to the date I joined Chordie so it is possible. That's the simple way there's probably a clever dickie way of doing it but someone else will have to explain that to you. I hope that's what you're looking for?     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Is it possible to set/change the "recent items"

Hi Phil,

Thanks for that - but not exactly what I was after ... I suspect when you click on:

https://www.chordie.com/forum/search.ph … how_recent

it is date restricted to the last date, if we look at the code available here:

https://github.com/punbb/punbb/blob/master/search.php

It shows it restricted to 86400 at line 86, what I wanted is to set this to a few days, so I guess forming a URL Like this:

https://www.chordie.com/forum/search.ph … lue=432000

Now ... we can see 5 days of recent activity ... but I was hoping there was a more elegant way of doing it.

Cheers
