Forum Quick Stats v1.0
 

Forum Quick Stats v1.0
(By Boofo)

Thanks goes out to Mug and cirisme, for all of their indispensable help with the queries. Without them, this hack would still be on the drawing board. And thanks also goes out to Grog6 for the basis of this hack, which is his Forums Statistics hack. A special thanks goes out to Logician for his great Last Post Minute Hack. Thank you, my friend. ;)

This hack has all new 100% working (and optimized) queries. I will be updating it to cache all of the queries so it will only update them at a pre-determined time (set by you).

What this hack does:
It will display stats about each forum at the top of that forum. (NOTE: The attachments info will NOT show in forums that have no attachments.) Also included in the hack is Logician's "Last Post Minute Hack" (with his permission, of course). This hack will display a link the last post and the time the last post was made (i.e. "1 minute" or "2 days", etc.).

Tested and installed on vBulletin v2.2.9 (but should work with all versions).

Files to edit: 1 (forumdisplay.php)
Template to edit: 1 (forumdisplay)
Templates to add: 2 (lastpostminute and forumdisplay_quickstats)
Settings to edit: 1 (in the Admin CP)
Install time: 5 minutes (if you are slow or a newbie ;))

Looks good Boofo.
Will replace grog's hack with this one.I'll install tomorrow on v2.3.0 ;)

Thanks. ;)

Don't forget to click install. I plan on updating it to cache the queries and you can be automatically notified when I do the update.

Hmm.... might install this once I'm finished playing around with my new half life cds

Looks good. I'll download it once it is updated.

*Installed for now.

Thx for the (big) release, good work Boofo ;)
And a big thanks too for all updates and support you brang in my thread whereas I couldn't do it by myself

I still have a lot of work for the university ... I'm working now on a PHP/SQL project, so I'll improve my PHP and so will come soon for big, usefull and "good coded hack" :D

Thank you for the kind words. Your hack was very useful in putting this together. I learned some things along the way, plus I had some great help with this. ;)

I'll look forward to your next hack. ;)
