issue with blog statistics on forumhome statistics

[peugeot405]

Hi all,

I seem to have an issue with issue with blog statistics on forumhome statistics on my custom skin.

I customized the template blog_forumhome_stats to match the statistics on forumhome. (see pic1)

140279

I replaced

<dl>
<dt>{vb:rawphrase blogs}</dt>
<dd><a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbblog_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbblog_url']", '/', ''}blog.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=bloglist">{vb:raw blogstats.total_blog_users}</a></dd>

<dd><a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbblog_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbblog_url']", '/', ''}blog.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=list">{vb:raw blogstats.total_blog_entries}</a></dd>
<dt>{vb:rawphrase last_24_hours}</dt>
<dd><a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbblog_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbblog_url']", '/', ''}blog.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=list&amp;span=24">{vb:raw blogstats.entries_in_24hours}</a></dd>
</dl>

<vb:if condition="$latestentry['title']">
<p>
<vb:if condition="$show['blogtitle']">
{vb:rawphrase latest_blog_entry_by_x_in_blog_y, {vb:link entry, {vb:raw latestentry}, null, blogid, title}, {vb:raw latestentry.title}, {vb:link member, {vb:raw latestentry}, null, postedby_userid, postedby_username}, {vb:raw latestentry.postedby_username}, {vb:link blog, {vb:raw latestentry}, null, userid, blogtitle}, {vb:raw latestentry.blogtitle}}

</vb:if>
</p>
</vb:if>

with

<div id="wgo_stats" class="wgo_subblock section">

</vb:if>
</p>
</vb:if>
</div>
</div>

the problem is when i reimport the skin the template blog_forumhome_stats is reverted back to the original state and the statistic is messed up. (see pic2)

140280

Any idee why this is happening and how to avoid that?

I tried to alter the statistics on forumhome template as well but then i hav another issue. When blog is disabled in plugin manager or the user doesn't have view and post permission the statistics itself are gone, showing an empty block. (see pic3)

I guess i would require some conditionals to hide it if no permission or disabled. The only thing I found is this php coding in plugin manager forum_home_complete:

if (is_array($vbulletin->blogstats) AND $vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['vbblog_general_permissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_vbblog_general_permissions['blog_canviewothers'])
{
if ($latestentry = $vbulletin->blogstats['lastentry'])
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/blog_functions_shared.php');
prepare_blog_category_permissions($vbulletin->userinfo);

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR $latestentry['guestcanview'])
{
$entrycats = explode(',', $latestentry['categories']);
if (array_intersect($vbulletin->userinfo['blogcategorypermissions']['cantview'], $entrycats) AND $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != $latestentry['userid'])
{
$latestentry = fetch_latest_entry($vbulletin->userinfo);
}
else if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == $latestentry['userid'] AND !($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['vbblog_general_permissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_vbblog_general_permissions['blog_canviewown']))
{
$latestentry = fetch_latest_entry($vbulletin->userinfo);
}
else if (in_coventry($latestentry['userid']) AND $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != $latestentry['userid'])
{
$latestentry = fetch_latest_entry($vbulletin->userinfo);
}
}
else if ($latestentry = $vbulletin->blogstats['lastentry_guest'])
{
// oh do nothing, we just wanted the assignment ;)
}
}

if ($latestentry['userid'] != $latestentry['postedby_userid'] OR !empty($latestentry['blogtitle']))
{
$show['blogtitle'] = true;
if (empty($latestentry['blogtitle']))
{
$latestentry['blogtitle'] = $latestentry['username'];
}
}

$blogstats['total_blog_users'] = vb_number_format($vbulletin->blogstats['total_blog_users']);
$blogstats['total_blog_entries'] = vb_number_format($vbulletin->blogstats['total_blog_entries']);
$blogstats['entries_in_24hours'] = vb_number_format($vbulletin->blogstats['entries_in_24hours']);

$templater = vB_Template::create('blog_forumhome_stats');
$templater->register('blogstats', $blogstats);
$templater->register('latestentry', $latestentry);
$template_hook['forumhome_wgo_stats'] .= $templater->render();
}

Can we get a link to see the problem.

Also, make sure you only use an id once per page or you could have odd things go on.

thanks for replying Lynne,

its a developper site on local host using xampp, not quite sure what the link would be. I can give you acces through a screen sharing program.

i affraid i don't understand what you mean with only use an id once per page. I'm still very novice when it comes to coding.

You posted that you changed the blogs stats to something that starts with this line:
<div id="wgo_stats" class="wgo_subblock section">

That id, wgo_stats, is already being used on the page (normally). So, you cannot have two areas on that page with that id.

ok so i changed wgo_stats and changed wgo_subblock as well and even every bit of coding i added, but the results is the seem.

I affraid i'm gonna need more information on this.

Would it be possible to change it on forumhome instead and add a conditional to hide it if blog is disabled or doesn't have permission to view own and others' blog

I reverted the blog_forumhome_stats template back to its original state and changed the following on forumhome template:

I changed:


{vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_wgo_stats}


with:

<div id="wgo_stats" class="wgo_subblock section">
<h3 class="blocksubhead"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/forum_stats.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase x_statistics, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}" /></h3>
<div class="wgo_new_blk1">
{vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_wgo_stats}
</div>
</div>

that resolves the problem with the messud up blog stats when reimporting the skin.

Now i need to find the conditionals to hide that complete block when blog is disabled in product manager or user doesn't have permission to view own and others' blogs. (see pic3 in first post)

Any idee?
