Keeping banned members out of the membership total

[snowbird]

The DB we are using has hundreds of banned members. We would like these banned accounts to NOT be included in the membership total. The CP can't do it..... anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

Hi,

I've knocked something together which should do what you want:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=118922

It adjusts the Member count on the forum homepage to take account of Banned users.

Thanks,
Alan.

Thank you, but I use 3.5.4 and it did not install :cry: Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:

### INSERT QUERY GENERATED BY fetch_query_sql() ###
INSERT INTO plugin

TABLE_PREFIX . \"userban\";\r\n$banned_count_a = $vbulletin->db->query_first($banned_count_q);\r\n\r\n// Update the totals\r\n$numbermembers = vb_number_format($vbulletin->userstats[\'numbermembers\'] - $banned_count_a[\'banned_count\']);', 'cit_exclude_banned_users');

To get it to install on 3.5.4, edit the XML file in the zip, and find "executionorder="5" and delete it :)

Save the XML, then try installing it agian.

Thanks,
ALan.

This time it installed but it does not function properly. The number of members dropped by 36, which, probablbly not coincidently, is the sum of members in two seperate other non-banned usergroups. The hundreds of banned members still remain included in the total.

[Alan @ CIT]

It just counts all the rows from the "userban" table. How have to banned your members?

Thanks,
Alan.

If you are asking how we ban members, we view their profile in the cp, we select Ban User from the Quick User Links, and that's where you select which banned usergroup they go into, when the ban is lifted, and the Reason to show the user, then click Ban User.

[Alan @ CIT]

ok, leave it with me, I'll adjust the the way it works so that it's based on banned usergroups, rather than the userban table.

Thanks,
Alan.

Any progress on the adjustment?

Guess that's a no. :(
