Newest Member's First Post! (v1.1) · **Released**: 08-30-2002

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:
---------------------------------------

Code:

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

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

Code:

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

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

Code:

 // 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:
---------------------------------------

Code:

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:
---------------------------------------

Code:

      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)
---------------------------------------

Code:

$firstpost

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

Post any bugs/questions/suggestions here.

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