[SOLVED] update forum and thread counters

[omardealo]

Hello ,

is there easy function for " update forum counters " ?

- update post counts
- update forum
- update threads

i know already those codes on admincp/misc.php , but i ask for "vBulletin function" For quick and easy to use .
if the a function to update Specified forum and Specified thread , that will be great
Thank you !

They are listed in the Maintenance area of the admincp only. They can be server intensive, so they should only be run by the administrator if needed.

Why would you need to do this in a plugin if it already available in maintenance, is this for some sort of auto posting mod?

yes ,
i make a plugin for modrate inside forum To accept or delete the new posts, rather than access to the modcp , so when a accept some posts Do not show the latest post on the thread and section, so it needs to be updated counter every time .

Maybe I'm not understanding what it is you are trying to do, why do you need a plugin to moderate from a forum, this is already available by default, the ability to approve/unapproved posts/threads.

Yes it is important, to determine exactly what it is you are doing and why you are bypassing default functionality.

But it seems you have a bit of a attitude when people try to understand what it is you are trying to accomplish, so I guess my trying to help in this matter is over.

Maybe someone else will provide you with code for nothing.

Sorry I could not help.

Maybe u are right
but it's not like that , you must know i'm not good in english
and why i do that , This question does not matter .
Otherwise , why someone make "auto posting mod" While there is a button " Add a new thread/post" in the forum ? why we make any mod ? why we use a vBulletin ?
The reason I mentioned at the top already "i make a plugin for modrate inside forum To accept or delete the new posts, rather than access to the modcp"
don't be sorry , As you like if you do not want help
Thanks anyway :up:

If you are using dataman in your plugin there should be no need to call the update counters, below is the code that you'd use
build_forum_counters($forumid);
build_thread_counters($threaddm);
build_forum_counters($threadinfo['forumid']);

thnx for your help , it's working .. but This file must be called functions_databuild.php

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_databuild.php');
build_forum_counters($forumid);
build_thread_counters($threaddm);
build_forum_counters($threadinfo['forumid']);

this code not update all counters , number of posts of threads not update on forumdisplay ?

Thank you all :up:

okay i found it , for update number of posts and thread info

build_thread_counters($threadid);

As mentioned do be careful when running those lines as you have the potential to lock up your forum for a while.

okay i will take care when i use it , if i want update Specified forum or Specified thread , how can i do that ?

Thanks again

[Simon Lloyd]

just set the variable as the figure you need
$forumid = xx
where xx would be that particular forum, the same for each other variable.

Nice , You Mean like that ?

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_databuild.php');
build_forum_counters($forumid = xx);
build_thread_counters($threadid = xx);


Thank you Brother :up:

I've never tried it like thatrequire_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_databuild.php');
$forumid = xx;
$threadid = xx;
build_forum_counters($forumid);
build_thread_counters($threadid);

If you approve these items via the frontend/modcp, it does this for you.

[ozzy47]

I already said this was part of the default software, but the OP must be doing something else as he said that was not a option.

I understand that, but this is a new property to a moderator instead of entering the Control Panel [modcp] , and i make on plugin "notifications System" for new posts/thread , moderators will see it on notifications_list .. This will be the quickest to accept or reject posts

[Zachery]

There is already a list of posts that need to be moderated in the frontend...

[Simon Lloyd]

There is already a list of posts that need to be moderated in the frontend...

....and in their usercp :)

[Simon Lloyd]

There are mods already created for that.
