Number of threads use started in a certain forum

[BigJohnson]

Can someone create a hack like this and make the forum ids be changed in the admin cp at all so they all dont have to be hard coded int the code.

This would be awesome.

I want to create at least three different counters. So i dont want just 1 extra counter. i would like to create 3. I hope someone can help thanks.

I released a Forumdisplay Stats cache hack that might have what you want. ;)

Sorry thats not exactly how it should work. I wanted it to be in the postbit and the getinfo area .

Do you know how you have posts: 100 in the posbit
POsts counts all posts made by that user.

I want something that will show how many THREADS a user has made in CERTAIN forums.

Not all forums. Just the forum ids that i specify.

It is a THREADS counter not a POSTS counter. And i wanted it displayed in the postbit and getinfo.

I hope someone can help me out. Thank you. Boofo i hope u can.

the code is a little dif. i am not that good with php so i am a little confused on how to go about it. Was looking for some assisstance. ;)

Look at my forumdisplay quick stats hack again. At the bottom of it there is a query for yourposts. That will show the user who is looking at it how many posts and threads they have made in the forum they are in. That will give you an idea of what needs to be done. We can start there. ;)

well i no nothing about php so maybe if u could help out with some code instructions i can test it out.

hehe.

[Boofo]

well, if you run that query, it should show you what you did for posts and threads in that forum. As far as the postbit goes, that would have to be done completely differently as not as add a query for every post on the page of a thread.

Now, I did a hack that I haven't released here that goes in the postbit and tells you how many threads each user has started (board-wide) right next to the Posts each user has made in the postbit, but it won't break it down per forum like you want.

So, it all depends what you are wanting to do, I guess. If you want it per forum and want it in the postbit, that would have to be another new hack altogether. ;)

yup i guess so. would u no hwo to code that at all hehe.

[Boofo]

Not off the top of my head. Let me think on this and see if I can figure out an easy way to do it without having to start from scratch. I'm not that good of a coder yet. ;)

[BigJohnson]

thanks so much boofo i hope you can really come up with something. I would love you for ever. hehe.

bump please help someone
I am looking for something exactly like this as well.

[BigJohnson]

Can anyone help. there a couple of peeps who would love this feature. Thanks

[BigJohnson]

Is this a hard thing to code or something?

Why does no one reply?

[Hazzo]

Welp, would be nice to see this added since a few people are asking about it..

I know myself, with the art forum I run, would be kindof neat, to see who post the most wallpapers versus avatars versus siggies.. Soo, I guess add me to the list of who else would be interested in sumthing like this..

[TouchingVirus]

Ahh yes..ok..you pushed me with all the bumpity bump's....i will make it..infact, i have already made it..but its part of an overall bigger *private* hack...so i will just rip it out as a standalone..

Then again, i am the type that just add's in tables to my database without thinking, because after all, i know what they do..so this hack would add in a counter table..if you dont want that, i will see about writing the query to use the existing tables, but that would take longer :)

[TouchingVirus]

My version is hardcoded though..it has 3 counters setup, but the forumid's are defined via phpcode..

[Hazzo]

Wonders, what the whole big hack does, but it would be very nice, if you can and are willing just to rip it apart.

Altho-- if your not into ripping it apart, I could give the gutting the hack apart, a try..
Dunno how far that would get me tho, but you never know.. :)

Happy ripping it apart and looking for it soon!!

[TouchingVirus]

Hehehe..wonder but im never releasing it, its a touchingVirus custom hack :P

I will rip it apart..look for it in the next week or so..im redecorating meh room, so i amnt in my "natural coding environment"

If everybody else here had that line of thought, there would be no hacks to download here. ;)

[TouchingVirus]

lol @ boofo, indeed i know...though the hack was written by me, it isn't for me, it was for a friend and i was paid to write it..i have asked his permission to rip this part, and he said it was fine as long as this is hte only part published!

[Boofo]

Ahhhh, a paid hack wriiter. Shame, shame. ;)

[BigJohnson]

thanks so much dude. i want to get my forums running asap so as soon as possible would be great. I love you so much in a not gay way. ;)

[BigJohnson]

Touching Virus any updates at all? Don't want to rush ya hehe.

[TouchingVirus]

@Boofo: I write em for free when i have some time and my computer is back into my room!

@BigJohnson: Yep, im gonna start ripping right about now!

[BigJohnson]

Awesome. great to see some work. Can't wait to see some progress. Thanks so much dude.

[BigJohnson]

hows it goin any progress. Sorry for bothering ya hehe. I twas at 8 oclock u posted u said u were working on it. No rush just seeing whats goin on. ;)

[BigJohnson]

I don't know if you can do this but i am looking for something where the new threads are added to a new table so i can create a feature where i can change the amount people have in the admin cp. I hope u can do something like that.

[TouchingVirus]

thats what it is..a completely new table..so you can edit to bump up/down the number as you see fit!

[TouchingVirus]

ahhh...all completed...find in the Showthread Enhancements..i didnt know where to put it..so there should do :P..

Request filled..cant be clozed ;)
