GARS: Number of articles/reviews/tutorials in profile · **Released**: 01-23-2006

This little plugin will display the number of articles, reviews and tutorials that a user has contributed in his/her profile. Note that it will display the sum of all the threads in the forums you have assigned to GARS and not of each category seperately. Although I am really busy these days, I made it for my new site and decided to share. It didn't take more than 5 minutes anyway

You need to have GARS installed in order to use this. GARS is not a free hack and it is made by The Geek.

Instructions

Import the plugin XML
Add in the MEMBERINFO template where you want it:
HTML Code:
```
Articles/Reviews/Tutorials: $userarticles[count]
```
Save it and you're done!

Please, don't forget to click INSTALL if you used this.

Please let's not turn this in a GARS vs [insert-hacktitle-here] kind of thread.

well, i am not sure if editing will show u as the userid who posted it (because i edited a lot more threads than that)... and my count is at 43, even though i can only find 37.

nice hack by the way.

/me take a look at Michelle, lick his lips, and ....

... start writting this post...

this is a good idea... great hack.. easy to manage or even modify to make other kinds of displayed...

nota: can be done to add to the postbit btw... for the interested!

Lea Verou · #15 01-24-2006, 05:50 PM

I would never add this code to the postbit without some kind of optimisation!
It would add one query per post so if somebody had 100 posts per page (like I do) it would add 100 queries to the thread!!

It will not show you in the forum like the poster but in the database it shows my userid for the articles that I edited...

hey, this is cool Michelle. Well done.
For the postbit thing... a gars module or vb plugin that fired on edit/creation/deletion of a gars thread could increase a user profile with the total.
I know its more complex and wasnt the goal, but I thought I would post anyway

Let me know when I get back home if I can help at all.

Have you also the Advanced Editing Options hack installed? GARS doesn't like it.

Lea Verou · #20 01-24-2006, 09:49 PM

Nope I haven't but I know somebody who has the same problem as you

oh of course it wont show in the forum. what i mean is, i edited more than 6 articles, and if what u say is the case, then i should be getting more than a count of 43 (and i mentioned before that i have an actual amount of 37 submitted articles). i hope that helps in your debugging.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
