[RELEASE] IndexThread optimization

The index thread function in global.php is another guilty
party of using a while loop to execute queries. This
does away with that. I tested it on my test board with
regular users and guests and all was well.

Find these two lines in global.php and replace it with my code below:

// ###################### Start indexthread #######################


and


// ###################### Start makeforumjump #######################



Insert this code in place


function indexthread($threadid) {
//adds a thread into the search index
global $DB_site;

$thread=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT threadid,title FROM thread WHERE threadid=$threadid");

$subject=$thread[title];

$posts=$DB_site->query("SELECT post.userid, post.username AS guestname, pagetext, user.username AS username
FROM post
LEFT JOIN user ON (user.userid = post.userid)
WHERE threadid=$thread[threadid] AND visible=1");

while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts))
{
if ($post[userid]!=0)
{
if ($post[username] != "")
{
$usernames.=" $post[username] ";
}
}
else
{
if ($post[guestname] != "")
{
$usernames.=" $post[guestname] ";
}
}
$pagetext.=" $post[pagetext] ";
}

$subject=wordsonly($subject);
$pagetext=$subject." ".wordsonly($pagetext);
$usernames=wordsonly($usernames);

$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET subjectindex=' ".addslashes($subject)." ',threadindex=' ".addslashes($pagetext)." ',userindex=' ".addslashes($usernames)." ' WHERE threadid=$threadid");

return 1;
}

John should replace the spaces used around the usernames above with commas and then disallow commas as a character in user name.

1 - I could then release the dot hack
2 - Search By User would then work 100%

Also I see where we can optimize index.php but I don't want to touch that until after version 2.0. Hopefully John can do that one..

damn but you're cranking them out hot and heavy!

keep up the good work. So far you have increased my board speed quite a bit :)

This one was a piece of cake compare to the forumjump optimization. The same type of optimization done to forumjump can be done to index.php but it will take a few hours to do and considering it will probably change in v2.0, I want to wait.

the mythical version 2!

I'll give ya a nickle if you do it;)
