Miscellaneous Hacks - Threads Started by User in Postbit and Profile

vB3.5.4 Threads Started by User in Postbit and Profile
Version 1.0.1
(By Andreas, Boofo, Hambil and Paul M.)

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 has been tested on a live board with over 15,000 users and 40,000 threads and ran unnoticeably in the background in 0.3 seconds during the cron job update. This product only counts valid threads (not moderated or soft-deleted threads).

NOTE: This Hack requires at least mySQL 4.0.4

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release
Version 1.0.1 --No longer counts threads in forums that have the "Count Posts Made in this Forum Towards User Post Counts" option set to No. Also made the posts and threads counts in the postbit clickable search links like in the profile.

NOTE: You must redo the postbit template edit to get the clickable links.

Credits:
Thanks goes out to Andreas for the original version of this product. Thanks also goes out to Paul M for coming up with the way to update the thread count without adding a query to every post, and to Hambil for coming up with the way to not count threads in forums where the "Count Posts Made in this Forum Towards User Post Counts" option is set to No. Thanks guys!

Thanks for this mod.

However I found the following things:

- Version checker does not seem to run properly. My server runs a newer version than the one required.
- The info for editing the templates does only include standard postbit - not postbit_legacy

However I managed to make a workaround for both

Is there any way to make this mod count threads only in certain forum IDs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I've applied Oblivion Knight's edit above, and successfully installed this. It seems to be working okay... but I don't see any Cron Job listed in the AdminCP's Scheduled Task Manager. Am I supposed to?

Ideally I'd like to see that too. As well as a separate preference for forums, for counting posts or threads. I might want threadstarts to count, but posts to NOT count. And right now, it's an all-or-nothing affair for each forum.
