PHP - Manually inserted user account does not show on stats at bottom of home page

[adam parnell]

Hello all,

I have a script to integrate my forum with another system and I can quite happily create a new user however I have noticed it doesnt appear in the stats at the bottom and the last user is shown as the last user created through the forum admin panel.

I know if I run the CRON for daily stats my user now appears.

How can I get the stats to update when I create the user in my php form?

Thanks and best regards to all

It looks like you could call function build_user_statistics() in includes/functions_databuild.php (assuming you didn't use the vB_DataManager_User() class to add your user, because then it would already be called for you).

Looks like the table datastore holds that value in the userstats field.

Interesting,

Do you have an example of using vB_DataManager_User()

Best regards?

You could look at admincp/user.php, search for "Start do update". (It's the code for adding a user from the ACP). I think this line:

$userdata =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_CP);


creates an instance of that class. But if you did your own db writes because you didn't want to use a lot of the vbulletin code then you probably wouldn't want to use that class.

My custom scripts always act upon the database tables directly.

Thanks.

Andy,

I do most it manually but I'm not sure about updating the stats which is why is someone has a simple example I can just plop in after the insert command that would be great

Open to suggestions and ideas
