The idea is from SitePoint Forums.

I think a lot of people really want this hack, and I've even seen a released version of it here, but it used cronjobs and stuff like that I'm sure not all of use want to mess with.

So, here's my version of the hack, completely crobjob-less and 100% working.

The hack also includes an easy way for the admins to change the member of the day at any given time. (see note below)
You can see it in action in this board, on the main page in the stats box.

To install this hack download the attached file (memberofday.hack.php), upload to your /admin folder and use vbHacker.

A couple of notes:

The member of the day will reset every day at 12:00am server time.
It is possible for the admins to re-choose the member of the day at any given time, by adding "?resetmember=1" when visiting index.php. (only logged in admins can use this; for regular users it won't do anything)
The only check in the code is to prevent the same member of the day two days in a row. It is possible, however, that the same member will be chosen two days after he was already a member of the month.
I don't recommend using this hack on a small forum (with not-so-many members) because of the above.

That's it, have fun.

It looks like the Order by RAND() function is not available for mysql versions 3.22 or lower. Any way of getting the sql rewritten to work with 3.22?

Thanks

What version is your MySQL? I know that the ability to order by RAND() was only added in a certain version... I'll dig up see if I can find the older way to get a random row.

I'm running 3.22.32. I looked and the order by rand() does only seem to be available to 3.23 and up.

I am trying to talk myself into upgrading the mysql version, but I'm chicken.

Ok my book tells me you should change the query to this:

PHP Code:


			
    $newmember=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username,userid*0+RAND() AS randNum

                                        FROM user

                                       WHERE userid<>$daybits[1]

                                         AND (usergroupid=5

                                          OR usergroupid=6

                                          OR usergroupid=7

                                          OR usergroupid=2)

                                       ORDER BY randNum

                                       LIMIT 1");

firefly?

Admin · #49 02-12-2002, 09:56 AM

Right, sorry.

Just change first line of code to this:

Code:

$thisdate=date('W');

And I think you're done.
