Thread count

[adielsh]

Hello
I need mod that show in the profil hiw mach Thread (not post) the user have
can someone help?

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM thread WHERE postuserid=$userinfo[user]

That's it - basically.
Just wrap it in a few Bits of PHP to format it nicely, put the Variable in Template MEMBERINFO and you're done.
Note: This does not care for deleted or moderated Threads. If you don't want to count them a few more conditions are required for the query.

I came looking for something like this.
But I think I'm in over my head.

I want to display a particular thread count on the forum index - forumhome I guess it's called.

I'm new to php. I can follow someone's code and figure out what it does and modify it to suit my needs, but I can't really start my own.

Could I impose on you or someone else to supply an example?

Much appreciated.

I want to display a particular thread count on the forum index - forumhome I guess it's called.

What does that mean: The amount of Threads in a specific Forum, the amount of replies in an specific Thread, or smth. completely different?

Sorry, I guess I was vague because I understand how the query should look from your earlier post.
The part I'm having trouble with is the code to make it all show up on a page..

Anyway, what I would like to be able to do is have something that says, "There are ## open posts in the XYZ forum."

And have that placed somewhere just under the navbar...
but once I see the code, I'll know how to move it where I need it - or at least I'll figure it out - eventually...

I went and looked through code to see how things are "printed to the screen" but got lost... is it the show command?

Time for some php lessons I guess...

Thanks again for any help.

oh, and the query I'm thinking I will need is:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM thread WHERE forumid=## AND open=1

Where ## is the forum id number of interest.

Is that close?

In php (put it in a plugin):

PHP Code:

$mydata = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS mycount ........."); 


Then you can put in a template:

$mydata[mycount]

PS Showing somehting in php is done with 'echo' or '*print*'

Thanks, this helps a lot.
I'm pretty good at figuring out the behind the scenes system stuff, but as soon as I have to format something for output... I get lost.
