Threads Started by User in Postbit and Profile for vB 4

Threads Started by User in Postbit and Profile for vB 4
Version 1.0.1
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product counts the threads started by a user and displays it in the postbit and the profile, under the About Me tab. It will also display the threads per day in the profile. The thread count is automatically updated hourly via cron job. New threads are added to the count in real time. No extra queries are run in the postbit or profile when getting the thread count, only when the cron job runs. This product only counts valid threads (not moderated or soft-deleted threads).

Note: Only 1 query is used during the hourly cron update.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vBulletin 4.0.3
Version 1.0.1 --Added 'Percent of total forum threads/posts' in the profile.

Installation Overview:

Thanks Installed and working great

[Boofo]

You had doubts? ;)

You're very welcome, sir.

[Boofo]

So, you don't like "squat" then? ;)

[erel34]

thanks..

[Boofo]

I would click install if you want any support in the future.

So good to see someone do this right by adding a field to the table and keeping track of threads that way. This is so much more efficient than the one added query per post mods that I've seen people do!

Thank you, young lady. But I really do need to credit Andreas for helping me come up with this originally. ;)

I've done it this way since the vb3.5 version. Too many vb admins don't worry enough about the queries that can be added for each post. In the old days, queries were the biggest no-no you could do in a hack. I guess I'm too old to change, huh? ;)

[Xencored]

Thanks again Boofo cant wait for more mate :D

Edit also whats the template called mate where this is
need to add my <div> tags for css (and remmove the <br /> so i can show it on all one line

Cheers

Just look at the template that has the total posts in it and do the same format to the template in the hack. Both templates start with boofo_(boofo_postbit_threads and boofo_profile_threads).

[goran424]

I was looking forward to this but it says not compatible with 4.02?

thats what i was looking for thanks

It should work with 4.0.2 just fine. But as I run 4.0.3, that is what I set it at. Go into the XML file and change it to 4.0.2 and it should work fine then. Make sure to click install, if you install it, in case there are any updates.

[KURTZ]

glad to see you again in the business Bob ... :)

I was wondering when you were gonna show up. ;)

You would have to see how they are doing the other boxes in the postbit_legacy and wrap the code in that. ;)

[steeler7]

I installe3d and it all went through alright but nothing happened on the forum. It is 3 in the morning so my eyes aren't working but do I have to "enable" this and if so, where? I couldn't find it in the admincp/options.

EDIT : I see the stats under the "About Me" section but nothing in the postbit

That is why you are having problems with it showing right in the template. As I do not use that mod, I have no idea what they have changed from the default template. I would say you need to ask in the thread for the mod. The product works with the default template setup.

You're not showing as installed.

[murekhalir]

VERY simple, very nice.

[BadgerDog]

You're not showing as installed.

Yes, sorry ....

Subsequently un-installed it .... should have left another post ...

Found it created a too crowded display and the the information it displayed wasn't as valuable to our type of membership, as it might be to perhaps other boards.

We use 4 of your other excellent vb4 mods... very nice and well done work ...

Thank you for your efforts .... :)

I've got a request (that I made in the wrong mod last time :o )

So instead of just counting & displaying the Threads started by the user in the postbit, I'd like it to count and display the threads ONLY of a certain prefix.

In my case the prefix ID is Trip_Report

So I'd like the number of "Trip Reports" created by the user.

Could you please tell me how to edit your xml to count this?

Thank you :cool:

I hate to annoy, but any help on this? By the way I installed and it works perfectly the way it is meant to.

I'm just hoping I can filter it by my prefix. :D

As this mod is free I really don't want to spend a lot of time re-working it for everyone.

I can appreciate that, I was led to this mod by you so I was thinking you had an easy way to do it.

Thanks for the response, I'll see if I can tinker around with it. :)

[Boofo]

It's never easy to re-work a mod for everyone. ;)

[Trevor Matthews]

Just installed and is a very useful addition to my forum. Many thanks for doing this for us all.

I love your modifications boofo just installed this one rated and nominated thank you once again

[haytham]

Great mod. Rated, installed and nominated. :)

[RobbieZ]

Is it possible to have the thread count 'clickable ' and return showing the threads by that user please?

[Universal]

Just a 2012 update on this mod. This mod seems to be working fine on 4.1.10.

Only thing I changed was I moved the 'Postbit Legacy' code from the Boofo template into the Postbit Legacy template. No problems at all.

Thank you Boofo / Installed sir

[DAMINK]

Installed and working perfect on 4.1.10
As always great work by the bearded gentleman Boofo.
Thankyou for this.

It now makes an error in 4.1.12 :
Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: newpost_disablesmiliesoption in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4337

There is no way that error is coming from this mod. It does not use fetch_template.

[babyv0x]

working on 4.1.12 . Thanks for this mod

Super Boofo :) all working on 4.2.0

I know the author is no longer here, so hopefully someone else here can help.

The other day, at the request of another admin that works for KH-MF, I changed the order of the user info postbit from Join Date, Location, Age, Posts to Join Date, Posts, Age, Location by editing the postbit_legacy template.

After installing this modification, Threads was added at the end. I want Threads to be below Posts and above Age. I looked in the postbit_legacy template for it, but I'm not seeing that a code for Threads was added.

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m62/AmauryGarcia/postbit_legacy-1.jpg

[Lynne]

You need to move the template_hook line to where you want this code to show.

[Amaury]

Where would I find this? I didn't see anything on a template hook for "Threads" in the postbit_legacy template.

EDIT: Is it this one?

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts}

[Lynne]

Yes, that one. (I am assuming that is the one he used.)

[Amaury]

Yes, that one. (I am assuming that is the one he used.)

Okay, that worked, but it somehow made Age and Location appear below the medals.

Yes.

Had I read a little bit up on the page, I would have seen the answer. Doh.

Installed on 4.2.x. Works nicely.

My guess would be that the other mod (with the medals) is also using the same template_hook.

[midgetgrimm]

Thanks, great mod. Worked nice and easy, and with other pre-installed profile bits. Cheers!
Installed and Rated :up::up::up::up::up:

[Amaury]

Sorry, didn't see this reply until now.

I had it set on userinfo_right_after_posts (horizontal postbit) for the YAAS (that other mod you see in there) settings, which does just that: inserts the pins -- or, in our case, medals -- showcase after "Posts." Changing it to userinfo_right (legacy postbit) fixed that, but that's also causing problems with something else.

I won't get into that, though, since this isn't the thread for it. Plus, I'm already discussing it with Squidsk in the YAAS thread. :)

[tanzeelniazi]

Working Perfect in 4.2.0 thanks

Good for me too. 4.2.1

Splendid job sir!

Is there a way we click ob threads started by user and have them displayed?

Or maybe I am confused by another mod..

[greenpk2]

Hello there :) I really love this product and I got one question on "how to do" something with it.

Points towards user posts? Can you do same with this threads?
I got an off-topic forum and i made it so count towards user posts to NO. I would like to have the same thing with threads starter... Please give me a reply as soon as possible :)
Thanks for making this!

Unfortunately both mods are not supported, this one as boofo passed away rip, and the other as Mosh is not well and stopped with his vb stuff.
Maybe other members could help out though.

Are you certain it is this mod, I see no reference to split in the product?

My apologies... This hack it's working fine on my 4.2.2 board. :o

I have 3 threads and deleted two threads but in postbit show 3 threads. Why ?

[MarkFL]

I have 3 threads and deleted two threads but in postbit show 3 threads. Why ?

The thread count is updated via a cron job, so the thread count likely just hasn't been updated yet.

[RedHacker]

Yes but after many hours not change the number.

[MarkFL]

Try manually running the hourly cleanup and see what happens...

Then find the "Hourly Cleanup" and click "Run Now."
