Posts Per Day Variable in Plugin

[Chris.08i]

Hello,

I'm trying to create an if dependent on posts per day - however I'm unable to implement it within the PHP.

I'm fairly new to coding, so I maybe missing the mark completely.

I've tried:
$vbphrase[posts_per_day]
$post[postsperday]
$postsperday
$vbulletin->userinfo['postsperday']

None of these seem to work.

I am trying to implement it into the vBShop plugin in the newpost_complete.php hook.

The code is as follows:

PHP Code:

<?php

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->options['dbtech_vbshop_enablepoints'])
{
    foreach ((array)VBSHOP::$cache['currency'] as $currencyid => $currency)
    {
        // Shorthand
        $var = 'per' . $type;

        
        if (!$currency[$var])
        {
            continue;
        }

    
        
        // Update the points table
        $vbulletin->db->query_write("
            UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . $currency['pointstable'] . "
            SET " . $currency['pointscolumn'] . " = " . $currency['pointscolumn'] . " + '" . doubleval($currency[$var]) . "'
            WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->db->sql_prepare($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
        );

        $info = array(
            'currencyid'     => $currencyid,
            'amount'         => doubleval($currency[$var]),
        );

        switch ($var)
        {
            case 'perthread':
                $info['threadid'] = $threadinfo['threadid'];
                break;

            case 'perreply':
                $info['postid'] = $post['postid'];
                break;
        }

        // init data manager
        $dm =& VBSHOP::initDataManager('Transactionlog', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
            $dm->set('userid',         $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
            $dm->set('recipient',     $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
            $dm->set('ipaddress',     IPADDRESS);
            $dm->set('action',         $var);
            $dm->set('info',         $info);
        $dm->save();
        unset($dm);
    }
}
?>

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris

You could use something like:

PHP Code:

$postsperday = $vbulletin->userinfo['posts']/((TIMENOW - $vbulletin->userinfo['joindate'])/86400); 


[Chris.08i]

I thought posts per day is an already calculated variable somewhere?

[MarkFL]

It is calculated specifically for the profile page, but it is not available as a ready-made element of the $userinfo array, however the post count and join date are, and that's all you need to calculate the ratio.

Thank you Mark!
