Threads Started by User in Postbit and Profile
 

Threads Started by User in Postbit and Profile for vB3.7.0 beta 4
Version 1.0.1
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product counts the threads started by a user and displays it in the postbit and the profile. It will also display the threads per day in the profile. The thread count is automatically updated hourly via cron job. New threads are added to the count in real time. No extra queries are run in the postbit or profile when getting the thread count, only when the cron job runs. This product only counts valid threads (not moderated or soft-deleted threads).

Note: Only 1 query is used during the hourly cron update.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.1 --Initial release (No known bugs)

Credits:
Thanks goes out to Andreas, Paul M and Hambil for their invaluable help with the original version of this product. Without them, this hack would not have been possible. And a special thanks goes out to Icy, for taking care of things while I was away.

Thanks installed :up:

I only added that after your post. Thanks for reminding me. ;)

No problem, is there one for "Posts Started" in the postbit :eek:

Yeah, I think Jelsoft did that one. ;)

[high]* projectego clicks install! :D[/high]

I've been doing that since forever it seems. It's so automatic, I didn't even realize vb doesn't do that yet.

Installed :D

Edit: A little typo in Install.txt.

Should be

Bob,
does you hack something to do with that hack Threads Started by User in Postbit & Profile by Mudvayne? I know that the other one based on your old Hack called Threads Started by User in Postbit and Profile for vB 3.54

Which one is better? Right now I have installed Mudvayne's Hack (see Attachment). But I'm a lil bit curious so I'd like to know what hack is more exact in its calculating :) -Mike

Mudvayne's Hack is my hack. He just fixed a db query syntax for 3.6.8 as I was still running 3.5.4 at the time and asked if he could release it. This is an update version of that with the Threads Per Day fixed and working right and the cron update working like it should have been in the first version. The cron update doesn't work in the version you are running unless you un-install and reinstall the hack. That was the only time it was updating. Now it does it hourly with the new cron hooks in this version.

@ Mike-D - I also got the timezone map working in 3.7.0 beta 4. ;)

seangworld - vB doesn't have this features.
Mike-D - Even Mudvayne is using this version for 3.7 :p

I am running beta 4 and no it is not stock. Check again.

Aah ok, now I'm on the way :)

Hmm that get me thinking. I changed some details in your hack including a percent calculating of written Threads and Posts. See my Memberinfo. As far as I can see is, that your Hack work excellent. You know what? Is it possible to check per hand to see whether the Cron Job works right? Right now I'm kinda unsure. Thank you for your great support :)

Ah yes: Boofo's Timezone Hack. Good to hear that it works in vB 3.7. That hack is really great and so damn informative. My members love it :)

The cron update works in the new version. It didn't work in the old one as it was not attached to a hook at the time. The cron hooks are new since 3.5.4. ;)

PM me the code you did for the percent calculating and I will see if I can incorporate it in the new version, if that's ok. I didn't mess with that too much yet.

Thanks for the compliment but I was referring to the Timezone Image In Profile hack. The one nutz released. He's using my timezone code in it and I had to find the right hook to make it work in 3.7.0 beta 4. Just a heads up. ;)

I will send you the complete Code, Sir ;) You then can publish it. Please keep in mind that all credits goes to you Boofo and Ziki ZH - % Of Forum Posts

BTW: Any weeks ago I posted a request in your Thread Threads Started by User in Postbit & Profile, but I got it worked :)

Once again: Thank you very much for you tireless support, Bob :up:

PM has been sent. Thank you so much for the time in checking it and keep in mind that the code contains TMS Code! Be seeing you :) -Mike

Mike, PM answered. ;)

Thank you, Sir :) I'm gonna go in for a closer look to see what you'd like to want. I'll get back to you ;)

I can't believe I missed this mod! Then again, I'm even more surprised that vB didn't implement it as a feature. Tisk tisk!

Thanks Boofo!

Hi,

Followed your instructions, now my user's mini stat look befuddled ...
Any ideas ??

**************************************




I stand corrected ... I made the mistake ... as usual your info is correct and working perfectly .. thanks !!

A link would help on seeing what is going on. Try re-doing the template edits as most likely it is a missed tag or something simple. ;)

I don't think this particular hack has this, but is there an option to where you can turn this on and off in certain sections of your forum? For instance, if you wanted the threads started by to count for one section and not for another... if that makes sense.

No, this hack doesn't do that. It goes the same way as the post count. Just turn off Count Posts Made in this Forum Towards User Post Counts (in the forum Manager) in the forums you don't want counted.

With-in 2 minutes of posting that I had issues ... I corrected it.

No issues now.

Thanks.

Once again Bob you do it. Very good job and thanks for putting this up definitely going to be used on both boards.

As always, you're very welcome, Chris. ;)

does this work with 3.6.8

Yes. ;)

Hello ,

Hi,

I have a question:

How can I add the "." between the number of threads? It shows "1001" . I want that it shows "1.001"

Thanks for help :)
