Miscellaneous Hacks - Threads Started by User in Postbit and Profile for vB 4

Threads Started by User in Postbit and Profile for vB 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, under the About Me tab. 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 1.0.0 --Initial release for vBulletin 4.0.3
Version 1.0.1 --Added 'Percent of total forum threads/posts' in the profile.

So good to see someone do this right by adding a field to the table and keeping track of threads that way. This is so much more efficient than the one added query per post mods that I've seen people do!

Thank you, young lady. But I really do need to credit Andreas for helping me come up with this originally.

I've done it this way since the vb3.5 version. Too many vb admins don't worry enough about the queries that can be added for each post. In the old days, queries were the biggest no-no you could do in a hack. I guess I'm too old to change, huh?
