Newest Member's First Post! (v1.1)

Ok, here is my 3rd Hack, the first with all of the code actually being mine

Updated with Velocd's fix! :banana:

So, what does this hack do, you ask? It adds a link next to the newest member taking you to their first post. If the user doesn not have a post, no link is shown.

So, here we go!

To Do:
2 File Mods (root/index.php)
1 Template Edit (forumhome)

New Member's First Post hack by squall14716
Inspired by ezboard.
---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------
open index.php
---------------------------------------
find:
---------------------------------------

$getnewestusers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username FROM user WHERE userid=$numbersmembers[max]");

---------------------------------------
replace with:
---------------------------------------

$getnewestusers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username,lastpost FROM user WHERE 
userid=$numbersmembers[max]");

---------------------------------------
find:
---------------------------------------

 // get newest member 
 $getnewestusers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username,posts FROM user WHERE userid=$numbersmembers[max]"); 
 $newusername=$getnewestusers['username'];
 $newuserid=$getnewestusers['userid'];

---------------------------------------
add under:
---------------------------------------

if ($getnewestusers['lastpost'] != 0) {
$getnewusersposts=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM post WHERE userid=$newuserid LIMIT 1"); 
 $userfirstpost=$getnewusersposts['postid']; 
 
 if (!$getnewusersposts) {
 $firstpost="";
 } else {
 $firstpost=" | <a href='showthread.php?postid=$userfirstpost#post$userfirstpost'>First Post!</a>";
 }
}

---------------------------------------
Save and Close
---------------------------------------
Open up forumhome template
---------------------------------------
find:
---------------------------------------

      Welcome to our newest member, <a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$newuserid">$newusername</a>

---------------------------------------
Add DIRECTLY AFTER (on the same line)
---------------------------------------

$firstpost

---------------------------------------

Post any bugs/questions/suggestions here. :banana:

Actually on this line:

if(getnewestusers['lastpost'] != 0){

you'd get a parse error

[Floris]

.. ok, before applying ..

I will wait to see an update on this one with a merge of the two above codes so we will have 1 nice new version that doesn't add a query

[Alien]

Ditto.

[Link14716]

Updated with Velocd's fix

Yes, it still adds a query, but only if the newest user has made a post.

[Mono]

Can you post an update on how to get this to work with 2.2.7?

[Link14716]

It works with 2.2.7.

And 2.2.8

And 2.2.5

Must I continue?

Most likely, it works with all 2.2.x versions. I'd bet my life on it. And I am pretty sure that it also works on 2.0.x versions.

My coding doesn't match up anything like you say. The getuser thing is shorter the DBsite_query doesn't match either. Here's what I have.

// get newest member
$getnewestusers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username FROM user WHERE userid=$numbersmembers[max]");
$newusername=$getnewestusers['username'];
$newuserid=$getnewestusers['userid'];

[Link14716]

Then use that, it'll still work. As long as it isn't a replace with, you can do that to just about any hack

EDIT: All you do is add ",lastpost" (w/o quotes) after username, and then add the other code under it.

[Mono]

I've done that but no luck. I get the same error as before. >.<

I tried it on 2.2.6 which this was ment for and the coding is still different and still doesn't work.

[Link14716]

Well, I only saw one difference between what I had and what was actually there. Updated the code slightly and the version number to 2.2.x after installing it onto my 2.2.9 board successfully.
