Today's Posts on forumhome (number). · **Released**: 04-05-2005

A couple of my members requested this hack, so I created it, and decided to share it with you guys

.

What does this hack do?
This hack will display the number of posts made today.

Misc Info:
The "today" text linksto search.php?do=getdaily, for your lazy members

Creator: Deaths
Support is given in Hack's Thread, or preferably at vBadditions.com (when its back up).
Live Demo: http://board.xgnews.org/?styleid=1

The attached .zip contains an install file, for those who would like a copy.

Here we go:

Open up /index.php, and find:

PHP Code:


			
$userstats = unserialize($datastore['userstats']);

$numbermembers = vb_number_format($userstats['numbermembers']);

$newusername = $userstats['newusername'];

$newuserid = $userstats['newuserid'];

Bellow, add:

PHP Code:


			
// START POSTS TODAY ON FORUMHOME HACK

$starttime = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d'), date('Y'));

$newposts = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE dateline >= $starttime");

$poststoday = vb_number_format($newposts['count']);

// END POSTS TODAY ON FORUMHOME HACK

Save, Close & Upload.

Now, open up the TEMPLATE FORUMHOME.

Find:

HTML Code:

$vbphrase[posts]: $totalposts

REPLACE with:

HTML Code:

$vbphrase[posts] (<a href="search.php?do=getdaily">$vbphrase[today]</a>): $totalposts ($poststoday)

That's it, you're done!

thanks installed! is there a hack that shows Threads today? might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone lol

Deaths · #45 05-05-2005, 02:11 PM

Be warned, this will add an extra query to index.php!

Replace

PHP Code:


			
// START POSTS TODAY ON FORUMHOME HACK

$starttime = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d'), date('Y'));

$newposts = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE dateline >= $starttime");

$poststoday = vb_number_format($newposts['count']);

// END POSTS TODAY ON FORUMHOME HACK

With

PHP Code:


			
// START POSTS TODAY ON FORUMHOME HACK

$starttime = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d'), date('Y'));

$newposts = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE dateline >= $starttime");

$countthreadstoday = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE dateline >= $starttime");

$threadstoday = vb_number_format($countthreadstoday['count']);

$poststoday = vb_number_format($newposts['count']);

// END POSTS TODAY ON FORUMHOME HACK

Untested, but should work.

very easy..thanks! I just changed the order a little so it reads like this

[

PHP Code:


			
<div>$vbphrase[threads]:=$totalthreads: $vbphrase[posts] = $totalposts: (<a href="search.php?do=getdaily">$vbphrase[today]</a>)= ($poststoday): $vbphrase[members]:=$numbermembers</div>

thanks installed

mcyates · #48 08-03-2005, 10:04 PM

My server is 5 hours behind as its in the us and my site is uk based. So at midnight i'd expect the posts to be reset to 0 but this happens at 5am in the morning. Is there anyway to sort this out.

*bump*

Try looking up the function "mktime" (without quota) on php.net, that'll explain how I used the function and how you can adjust your time to it.

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