If it works, it works! :p I do not have a copy of vBulletin in front of me right now, so I am not sure if it is the best way. However, there is no need for a product as you have edited the files directly - products deal with plugins, phrases and templates.

ok, that makes sense. It does work, but I noticed yesterday that the forum info seems to have disappeared.. .so always says 'Last Post' = Never, 'Threads' = 0, 'Posts' = 0. :( Not sure why that would have happened.

Something must have gone wrong (corrupted cache, maybe). Remove your custom code, and rebuild the cache (Admin CP > Maintenance > Update Counters).

I tried to update the counters without removing my code and it didn't seem to help. The query (when I copy it to a query analyzer) runs fine and brings back all the right information as far as lastpostid and all other forum db info.

When I disable my 'plugin code' it works fine... so something has to be happening with my query addition. I am just not sure why yet.

Post your snippet of code so I can take a look.

This is the functions.php file code that I added. Quite simple, really, and I highlighted the additions so you can see them quickly:

Code:
                $hook_query_fields = $hook_query_joins = $hook_query_where = '';
               
               
                ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('cache_ordered_forums')) ? eval($hook) : false;

                // get subscribed forums too
                if ($userid)
                {
                        $query = "
                                SELECT subscribeforumid, $counter_select $hook_query_fields
                                        ". iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'], ', forumread.readtime AS forumread') . "
                                FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum AS forum
                                LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "subscribeforum AS subscribeforum ON (subscribeforum.forumid = forum.forumid AND subscribeforum.userid = $userid)
                                " . iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'], " LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forumread AS forumread ON (forumread.forumid = forum.forumid AND forumread.userid = $userid)") . "
                                $tachyjoin
                                $hook_query_joins
                        ";
                }
                // just get counters
                else
                {
                        $query = "
                                SELECT $counter_select $hook_query_fields
                                        ". iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'] AND $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], ', forumread.readtime AS forumread') . "
                                FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum AS forum
                                " . iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'] AND $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], " LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forumread AS forumread ON (forumread.forumid = forum.forumid AND forumread.userid = " .  $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ")") . "
                                $tachyjoin
                                $hook_query_joins
                        ";
                }
        }

It's that simple in the functions file. My plugin is pretty simple too:

Code:
$hook_query_fields = ",`ForumDetails`.`Details_UID`,
`ForumDetails`.`Clean_Name`,
`ForumDetails`.`forumid`,
`ForumDetails`.`Information1`,
`ForumDetails`.`Information2`,
`ForumDetails`.`Information3`";

$hook_query_joins = "LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "ForumDetails ON (ForumDetails.forumid = forum.forumid)";
That's pretty much it. The plugin is tied to: cache_ordered_forums and does allow me to show the 'ForumDetails'.

However - all the stats seem to disappear. They are there and when the query is joined I can see all the same information as I do without the plugin. I ran both queries in an analyzer and the same data is returned in both queries :(

I figured it out. It was a query issue. I had 2 forumid's in there and the forumcache script got confused.

Thanks for all your help.

kwblue 01-21-2009 01:22 PM
I thought since this thread is mine... and the next step is pretty similar... I would just continue the post here :)

Anyway - Now that my homepage is up to date with the proper information.. I want each FORUM to have specific information as well.

I can't, for the life of me, find where to add these same query joins there. Any pointers?
