vb.org Archive - Random User Widget

I try to get a random number like this:

PHP Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
class doyouknow_Api_Page extends vB_Api_Extensions
{
  public $product = 'doyouknow';
  public $version = '1.0.0';
  public $developer = 'test';
  public $title = 'Kennst Du schon';
  public $minver = '5.0.0 Beta 1';
  public $maxver = '6.0.0';
  public $infourl = '';
  public $checkurl = '';
  public $AutoInstall = 1;
  public $extensionOrder = 5;

    public function fetchPageById($page, $pageid, $routeData = array())
    {
       $page['random'] = vB::getDatastore()->rand(1,3);     
                         
      return $page;
    } 
}  
?>

Try it also with $page['random'] = rand(1,3);
in template:

HTML Code:

<vb:if condition="$page['random'] == 1>do something</vb:if>

<vb:if condition="$page['random'] == 2>do something more

<vb:else />

do something else

</vb:if>

But know I only have a blank window with background look like background-stylevar.

Is there a possible way to get a random number so I could change sortorder about a if condition=random ==1 / 2 /3 eg or could I change the limit of data so I can change the "selection" by a if on timenow = monday ... or any other way?

Iam totally become desperate on this thing!

Any help pleeeeease...

I just try to do a list of 15 different (random) user.

Iam very thankfull for any help I could get!

Thanks a lot again!

Got it:

Creat a new php-file "random.php" (place it into ...includes/vb5/frontend/controller/ :

PHP Code:


		
			
 <?php
 
 class vB5_Frontend_Controller_Random extends vB5_Frontend_Controller {
    public function randomnum() {
            $output = rand(1,3);
            return $output;
    }
}
?>

Put the following in your template:
{vb:action random_result, random, randomnum}
{vb:raw $random_result}

Question: How could I get max(userid) to limit the random?
Because I got no answer to this poor forum-system (without a good code documentation and unfortunately no support) I did the following:

go to core/vb/db/mysql/querydefs.php and find:

PHP Code:


		
			
switch ($params['sortfield'])
                {
                    case 'username':
                        $sqlsort = 'user.username';
                        break;
                    case 'joindate':
                        $sqlsort = 'user.joindate';
                        break;
                    case 'posts':
                        $sqlsort = 'user.posts';
                        break;
                    case 'reputation':
                        $sqlsort = 'user.reputation';
                        break;
                    case 'lastvisity':
                        $sqlsort = 'session.lastactivity';
                        break;
                    default:
                        $sqlsort = 'user.username';
                }

Replace it with:

PHP Code:


		
			
switch ($params['sortfield'])
                {
                    case 'username':
                        $sqlsort = 'user.username';
                        break;
                    case 'joindate':
                        $sqlsort = 'user.joindate';
                        break;
                    case 'posts':
                        $sqlsort = 'user.posts';
                        break;
                    case 'reputation':
                        $sqlsort = 'user.reputation';
                        break;
                    case 'lastvisity':
                        $sqlsort = 'session.lastactivity';
                        break;
case 'random':
                        $sqlsort = 'rand()';
                        break;
                    default:
                        $sqlsort = 'user.username';
                }

now you could use random as a config like this:

HTML Code:

{vb:set config, {vb:php array}}

{vb:set config.perpage, {vb:raw widgetConfig.number_of_users}}

{vb:set config.sortfield, 'random'}

Hope it will help someone... wish somebody is make a little documentation about how to make a mod with own sql, classes and functions.
Iam not that got in php...so I have to find workarounds :-)
