Today's Posts on forumhome (number).

A couple of my members requested this hack, so I created it, and decided to share it with you guys .

What does this hack do?
This hack will display the number of posts made today.

Misc Info:
The "today" text linksto search.php?do=getdaily, for your lazy members
Creator: Deaths
Support is given in Hack's Thread, or preferably at vBadditions.com (when its back up).
Live Demo: http://board.xgnews.org/?styleid=1

The attached .zip contains an install file, for those who would like a copy.

Here we go:

Open up /index.php, and find:

PHP Code:

$userstats = unserialize($datastore['userstats']);
$numbermembers = vb_number_format($userstats['numbermembers']);
$newusername = $userstats['newusername'];
$newuserid = $userstats['newuserid']; 


Bellow, add:

PHP Code:

// START POSTS TODAY ON FORUMHOME HACK
$starttime = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d'), date('Y'));
$newposts = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE dateline >= $starttime");
$poststoday = vb_number_format($newposts['count']);
// END POSTS TODAY ON FORUMHOME HACK 


Save, Close & Upload.

Now, open up the TEMPLATE FORUMHOME.

Find:

$vbphrase[posts]: $totalposts

REPLACE with:

$vbphrase[posts] (<a href="search.php?do=getdaily">$vbphrase[today]</a>): $totalposts ($poststoday) 

That's it, you're done!

If you use this hack, please click INSTALL!

Yes thats right

vbadvanced uses nearly the same method we do. We are still waiting for a comment from scott, but I think our system is the best we can until a better solution is suggested by Jelsoft.

No problem .

I'm looking for something similiar to this. On the nav bar, "new posts" I would like to show the number of posts since the person visited the board.

Any way to do this, please?

[Deaths]

That'd add an extra query to each page, if I'm not mistaking...

If you're sure that you want it, I'll create it.

[gregsbaby64]

I didn't know it was going to put another query on each page...there has to be another way. Thanks Deaths.

[Deaths]

Hmm, there is a posibility to do it using a cronjob and the datastore I guess... I'll look into it for you.
