Sweet idea!

Nice hack, installed and working : http://www.steven-seagal.net/forum/ :)

[turksengel]

thx clicked install

[Boofo]

Is there a way to add the vb_number_format for numbers over 999?

[y2krazy]

Installed. ^^

One question, where would I go to edit that number to, let's say, change it to "(X Users)"? Thanks again!

[Andreas]

@Boofo
That's not that easy, as the Text is hardcoded into stylecache.
If you use only one Thoustand Separator it will work fine if you just use vb_number_format(), but if you have several languages you will run into Problems.
To solv this you would have to remove the line that modifies the Title, cycle through the Chache upon each pageload and add the formatted Number there - but that adds some Overhead.
Or you can hack the function that buils the stylechooser - that would work without much Overhead, but has the drawback of requiring Fileedits.

@y2krazy
Sure. Take a look at functions_styleusers.php and change

$cache["$parentid"]["$idx"]['title'] .= ' (' . intval($styleusage["$style[styleid]"]) . ')';


to

$cache["$parentid"]["$idx"]['title'] .= ' (' . intval($styleusage["$style[styleid]"]) . ' Users)';

Actually, that didn't change a thing. ><

[Andreas]

It does - change your Style in UserCP, hit save and you'll see.

[y2krazy]

It does - change your Style in UserCP, hit save and you'll see.
Just tried it again, saved via the UCP, and it's still the same. Attachment included.

[Andreas]

Normally that can't be. Send me a PM with an ACP and FTP Login and i'll take a look

[Boofo]

Ok, new wrinkle. I have 19 members and they are all using the forum default style. But in the style chooser it shows 17 using that style and 0 using the other one. Any ideas?

[Andreas]

Uh? That should not happen, where are those 2 missing members ...

SELECT styleid, COUNT(styleid) FROM user GROUP BY styleid

What does that tell?

[Boofo]

ID - Count
----------
0 - 16
5 -1
6 -1
10 -1

But I deleted all styles except 2 of them. And rebuilt styles. Shouldn't it have reset?

[Andreas]

No. It will fallback on runtime.
Hmm, I could try to make the query a bit more intelligent so it counts non-existing styles as default.
But currently this is working as designed - it tells you what's in the database ;)

[Boofo]

How do I get it to show it right then?

[Andreas]

UPDATE user SET styleid=0 WHERE styleid IN (doesnotexistanymore)

[Boofo]

After running the query 2 times (for deleted styles 5 and 6) and rebuilding the styles, now it all looks right. ;)

Is there an easier way to do that if you ever delete another style?

[Odysseus]

Wonderful, I've already been looking for this.
Thanks, Kirby!

[Andreas]

@Boofo
Well .. as said, it would require putting more logic into the query.
Or report it as a bug @ .com ;)

Do you consider it a bug or would I be wasting my time?

And how would you actually report something like this? Since it is a mod/hack that found it, wouldn't that basically null and void and report I would make? ;)

[Gizmo5h1t3]

installed, and works a treat

[The Wise One]

very nice.

*installed

[ged]

A very nice and useful hack. Thanks a lot. :)

[TruthElixirX]

A very nice and useful hack. Thanks a lot. :)

I imported it as a product (Right to do it that way correct?)

and get this on my forum home: Warning: Unknown(/home/httpd/vhosts/supportcore.org/httpdocs/testvb/includes/functions_styleusers.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /global.php(335) : eval()'d code on line 14

Fatal error: (null)(): Failed opening required '/home/httpd/vhosts/supportcore.org/httpdocs/testvb/includes/functions_styleusers.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/vhosts/supportcore.org/httpdocs/testvb/global.php(335) : eval()'d code on line 14


Also when I go to my admincp I get it to. I ca'nt disable the product now. >.<...How do I disable all plugins?

[Andreas]

Did you upload this file (functions_styleusers.php)?
It's necessary.

[TruthElixirX]

Yeah. I uplaoded it but here is what happened.

I have a live 3.0.5 site and a test 3.5.0 RC3 site

* TruthElixirX clicks forum instead of /testvb

Just upladoed it to the wrong place.

Works a-okay now. Thanks a lot. :)

[loonytune15]

installs.

[Alien]

UPDATE user SET styleid=0 WHERE styleid IN (doesnotexistanymore)

Do I really use "(doesnotexistanymore)"? :) You lost me.

[Boofo]

doesnotexistanymore = style ID number (that doesn't exist anymore)

[Alien]

doesnotexistanymore = style ID number (that doesn't exist anymore)

Thanks Bob. :) I guess I'm as think as I drunk I am!

[Snake]

Installed and works on 3.5.0. :P

[slvr ralliart]

Thanks!!

I was wondering if you can somehow make something like vB.org has where on their postbit it says what style they are using.

[slvr ralliart]

bump for my question

[Andreas]

Yes it is possiblt to show that info - but not with this Hack.

[weaver]

How do I set this to include only certain usergroup ids in the counts?

[Andreas]

Not possible.

[RoryF]

I have this installed in 3.5.1 but the problem is, it doesn't actually work. The moderator usergroup does not have access to any styles that i select at all, is there any possible way to fix it. Or is it safe to assume that this doesn't work in 3.5.1?

[tassoman]

Could i set numbers visible only for admins?

[Andreas]

@RoryF
I didn't test, but I don't see why I should not work with 3.5.1

[slvr ralliart]

Yes it is possiblt to show that info - but not with this Hack.


would you plan on making a hack that shows the style a user is using in postbit?

[theArchitect]

I know you are busy with Jelsoft, but any chance of this hack leaving beta?

[Andreas]

It will never leave Beta, as most of my Hacks.

[theArchitect]

It will never leave Beta, as most of my Hacks.

Sorry, from an english perspective that sentence kind of finished half way through.

"It will never leave Beta, as most of my hacks"

Aren't supported?
Aren't finished?
Won't be developed further?
look sexier if listed as in beta stage?

[Bernd Glasstett]

Big problem here with a vbb 3.5.1: I installed the hack, but quick reply ceased to work properly. The reply was posted but didn't show upon most recent posts and it wasn't loaded into the page. When posting a new Thread simply took the php-page and offered it as a download to me. The thread was posted, but I wasn't subscribed automatically. Deinstalled the hack and it worked. Would be nice to have a fix.

[satuk]

thank you

[Andreas]

Aren't supported?

That's the reason :)

[StarBuG]

Hi andreas

The Number of users who use any style is not updated

If I change the style even after a hard refresh I still show up as user on the old style

Any solution for that?

[Ohiosweetheart]

I installed this on my 3.5.3 forum, works like a charm ;)

[Andreas]

Hi andreas

Any solution for that?
Did you change it through profile.php?
Changing it through the Quick-Style Chooser doesn't change the numbers, as that is only a temporary change.

[StarBuG]

Ups *doh*

Thank you, works great ;)

[aciurczak]

Causes large errors in 3.6.0; will not be able to log back in to admncp without putting in the "no plugins" flag in your config.php file.

[LadyHoney]

anyone using this successfully on 3.5.4 or 3.5.5?

[aciurczak]

It worked just fine on my 3.5.4 board. It only broke when going to 3.6.0.

[loonytune15]

Can this be updated to work for VB 3.6??

[Stoebi]

Thx KirbyDE for update :)


Regards, Stoebi

[Elsie]

just installed this on my v3.6.0 board and get this error:

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /global.php(341) : eval()'d code on line 23

goes away if i disable the plugin.

[DrewzR/T]

Works on 3.6.2. Awesome been lookin for this for awhile. Thanks

Installs

[StrifeX]

Very awesome, but do you know if this works with 3.6.x?

EDIT: looks like it will! :D

[Xplorer4x4]

Andreas, if you ever get time to look into it I am getting several queries added on to each page when this hack is enabled. When i disabled it, it still works but the queries are no longer there.

[deezelpope]

Installed and working beautifully on 3.6.4!:up: Thank you very much!:D

[mgurain]

Is there a supported one for 3.6.8 ?

[keth]

Installed this and works perfectly, but we had to change one line because it slowed our forum down.

Looks like this one:
if ($this->existing['styleid'] != $this->fetch_field['styleid'])
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_styleusers.php');
update_stylecache();
}
is called too often (I don't know where userdata_postsave is used, but it sounds like it's every time the users submit something somewhere). So even when $this->existing['styleid'] doesn't exist at all (=NULL), the function is called. I changed it to:

if ($this->existing['styleid']&&($this->existing['styleid'] != $this->fetch_field['styleid']))
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_styleusers.php');
update_stylecache();
}

..and our vB runs much smoother now. :)

[dimab]

has anyone tried this on 3.7.x ?

[dimab]

tested and works on 3.7.2

thanks!!

[turbosatan]

i have this running on 3.7.3 pl1

i do havea question though. Why is it that if i goto manage product5s and disable this it still works?

i mean isnt that the whole point that when you disable something it stops working???

other than that minor issue its a great mod especially if you ahve multiple styles and your not sure if people are using them all or not. i found that there was almost no one with the different styles chozen so i will be sending an email out with the details as i am sure they will be interested in the options.

[Alfa1]

Would be nice to see how many active users are using certain styles. I am certain that those using alternate styles than the default style will be mostly active users, while 99% of inactive users will probably be default style users.

[gutelaune]

thanks, installed and working on 3.7.3

[zombietom]

Installed and working good on 3.7.1 --thanks!

[AshleyTwo]

I'm interested in this mod but it doesn't work on 3.8.1, it causes a PHP error once installed. Are you planning on updating this?

Thanks very much.

[turbosatan]

that must be an issue on your forum because it works on my forum (http://www.thetattooforum.com) fine on 3.8.1

[vijayninel]

working nicely in 3.8.4 :)

[SorentoUltimate]

Thanks

work perfect in 3.8.4

[Taurus1]

Awesome, works great in 3.8.6. Thanks!!

[Markos]

works on 4.1,4 :D

[furnival]

Is there any way to set this up so that only admins can view the numbers?
