New Posts & Threads Since Last visit · **Released**: 06-09-2005

Um. I think this one is fairly self explaintiory by now.

It gets a count of the newest posts and threads since their last visit.

Optionally you should add indexes on your post and thread tables for the dateline columns
[sql]
ALTER TABLE `post` ADD INDEX ( `dateline` );
ALTER TABLE `thread` ADD INDEX ( `dateline` );
[/sql]

Well it counts the posts since your last visit, not the posts that you haven't viewed since your last visit.

Thanks for the hack though Zach.

That way is better and more noticeable by the user!!!

i didnt make alter to the sql tables.I must do that?the hack works ok tho...

Nice hack!

Thanks a lot!

I slipped it down a bit to after this:

Code:

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

That puts it in the Welcome section that is part of the user cp and under the PM messages. Liz

I'd like to install this plug-in, but is running that SQL query required? I know how to access phpMyAdmin, but I don't know where to run the query. I'd like to just not do it if at all possible.

If you don't run the query then you'll be scanning your entire post and thread tables each time you featch the data (load the page that shows the totals). I wouldn't reccomend not running the sql query if you have more then a few thousand threads and/or posts.

I installed this on my test board with 1 member and 1 post. But, just for reference, where exactly do I run this query? I know how to run it, and I know how to access phpMyAdmin. Just don't know where it goes.

Click the SQL link in phpmyadmin, or you can run sql queries from Maintenance >> Execute SQL Query in your forum's AdminCP.

find

PHP Code:


			
$newthreads = number_format($getnewthreads['count']);

afer that

PHP Code:


			
// Users

$getnewUsers = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE  1 AND joindate >= '{$vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit']}'"); 

$newUsers = number_format($getnewUsers['count']);
