As requested by rex of www.cruiselineforums.com:

What does this hack do?

Adds a new Post Counter, for off-topic posts.

It enables you to define a Forum (or Forums) as 'Off-Topic Forums'.
Any posts made by users in that Forum are not added to the Post count, they are added to the Off-Topic Post count instead.

As a bonus, OT posting won't be rewarded with promotions or points or anything linked to $bbuserinfo[posts].

Queries to run: One
Files to edit: One
Templates to edit: One (postbit or postbit_legacy).

########################### SQL EDITS START ###############################

Run this query: (change user to yourtableprefix_user if you use a table prefix).
[sql]
ALTER TABLE `user` ADD `otposts` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;
[/sql]
############################# SQL EDITS DONE ###############################

############################ FILE EDITS START ##############################

In includes/functions_newpost.php

Find:

PHP Code:


			
$doposts = 'posts = posts + 1,';

Change to (make X equal to the forumid of your Off-topic forum):

PHP Code:


			
if ($foruminfo['forumid'] == 'X')

{

$doposts = 'otposts = otposts + 1,';

}

else

{

$doposts = 'posts = posts + 1,';

}

Save and upload.

############################ FILE EDITS DONE ###############################

############################ TEMPLATE EDITS START ##########################

In postbit (or postbit_legacy) find:

HTML Code:

$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]</div>

Under, add:

HTML Code:

<div class="smallfont" name="Off-Topic Posts">OT Posts: $post[otposts]</div>

############################ TEMPLATE EDITS DONE ###########################

And you are done.

Rejoice!

Updates:
0850 1 April 2005 (GMT+12): Added name attribute to div tag for mouseover explanation.

        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum AS forum

        WHERE (forum.options & $_FORUMOPTIONS[countposts])

i think the following should do it:

PHP Code:


			
$forums = $DB_site->query("

        SELECT forumid

        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum AS forum

        WHERE !(forum.options & $_FORUMOPTIONS[countposts])

    ");

alternativly you could try manually setting the folowing variable:

$gotforums = '';

to
$gotforums = '1,2,3';

where 1,2 and 3 are the forum ids of the forums you wish to count

Good stuff..thanks for that.

I don't really feel comfortable playing around with those things, but if anyone wnats to add this and see if it works for them...

when i've got more time, ie when i'm not about to go on holiday :P i'll have a play arround and get something fully working.

If we wanted to include a number of forums as off-topic forums, how would we do this? I've replaced x with the forumids which I want to count in the off-topic post count and seperated them with a comma but it doesn't seem to be working.

Code:

if ($foruminfo['forumid'] == '39,63,64,51')

Dan · #15 04-07-2005, 12:07 AM

Nevermind I figured it out xD

To Update Forum Posts Easily I created a easy modifcation!

Find in /admincp/misc.php

Code:

define('CP_REDIRECT', 'misc.php');
print_stop_message('updated_post_counts_successfully');
}
}

Add Below:

Code:

// ###################### Start update Off Topic Post Counts ################
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'updatespam')
{
if (empty($perpage))
{
$perpage = 1000;
}
echo '<p>' . $vbphrase['updating_post_counts'] . '</p>';
$forums = $DB_site->query("
SELECT forumid
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum AS forum
WHERE !(forum.options & $_FORUMOPTIONS[countposts])
");
$gootforums = 'X';
while ($forum = $DB_site->fetch_array($forums))
{
$gootforums .= ',' . $forum['forumid'];
}
$users = $DB_site->query("SELECT userid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid >= $startat AND userid < $finishat ORDER BY userid DESC");
while ($user = $DB_site->fetch_array($users))
{
$totalposts = $DB_site->query_first("
SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread USING (threadid)
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "deletionlog AS deletionlog_t ON (deletionlog_t.primaryid = thread.threadid AND deletionlog_t.type = 'thread')
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "deletionlog AS deletionlog_p ON (deletionlog_p.primaryid = post.postid AND deletionlog_p.type = 'post')
WHERE post.userid = $user[userid] AND
	thread.forumid IN (0$gootforums) AND
	deletionlog_t.primaryid IS NULL AND
	deletionlog_p.primaryid IS NULL
");
$DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET otposts=$totalposts[posts] WHERE userid = $user[userid]");
echo construct_phrase($vbphrase['processing_x'], $user['userid']) . "<br />\n";
flush();
}
 
if ($checkmore = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid >= $finishat LIMIT 1"))
{
print_cp_redirect("misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=updateposts&startat=$finishat&perpage=$perpage");
echo "<p><a href=\"misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=updateposts&amp;startat=$finishat&amp;perpage=$perpage\">" . $vbphrase['click_here_to_continue_processing'] . "</a></p>";
}
else
{
define('CP_REDIRECT', 'misc.php');
print_stop_message('updated_post_counts_successfully');
}
}

Remember to change X in the above code

Code:

$gootforums = 'X';

To whatever your off topic forums are.

Now Find:

Code:

print_submit_row($vbphrase['update_post_counts']);

Add Below:

Code:

print_form_header('misc', 'updatespam');
print_table_header("Update Off Topic Posts", 2, 0);
print_description_row("This will update the Off Topic Post Count");
print_input_row($vbphrase['number_of_users_to_process_per_cycle'], 'perpage', 1000);
print_submit_row("Update Off Topic Posts");

And there you go! Now you can up date it easily!

Good stuff Dan, I'll reference it in the first post.

Thanks.

Thank you works great at updating OT posts. Only one point, it doesn't seem to update the normal posts count though, that stays the same as before so if a member had a total of 50 posts, 25 of which are OT posts, before adding this hack and updating OT posts, they find themselves with posts 50 PLUS OT posts 25 giving a total of 75 posts. I've tried updating post counts but it doesn't work. Anyone know how to get round this problem?

We need the hack to include forums that don't have counting enabled which I can't figure out how to do.

hmm, you just given me an idea..... far from ideal, but setting the OT forum in question to not count posts and then updating post counts brings the post count down, then resetting it to count posts and updating OT post counts seems to count all the OT posts..... it looks like it's worked.

quachvu · #20 06-19-2005, 02:37 PM

how can man fix this script, so that it just count new threads in a forum for Off Topic, and dont count post reply of that thread?
