What does this hack do?

This hack basically shows the number of new threads and posts since your last visit, in the navbar (under your nick.) Check out the attached screenshot for more information

Installation
This is a pretty simple hack to install.
Instructions are as follows:

FILE MODIFICATIONS
global.php

TEMPLATE MODIFICATIONS
navbar

PHRASES
navbar_sincelastvisit

OPEN global.php AND FIND

PHP Code:


			
    echo "End call of global.php:  $aftertime\n"; 

    echo "\n<hr />\n\n"; 

}

(NOTE: If you want old threads with new posts to count as a new thread, then skip this next step)
UNDER IT, ADD

PHP Code:


			
# SINCE YOUR LAST VISIT 

$getnewthread=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread WHERE lastpost > '".$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']."'"); 

$getnewpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post WHERE dateline > '".$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']."'");

(NOTE: If you did the step above, then skip this next step)

UNDER IT, ADD

PHP Code:


			
# SINCE YOUR LAST VISIT 

$getnewthread=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread WHERE dateline > '".$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']."'"); 

$getnewpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post WHERE dateline > '".$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']."'");

OPEN UP THE navbar TEMPLATE AND FIND

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

UNDER IT, ADD

HTML Code:

<br /><phrase 1="$getnewthread[threads]" 2="$getnewpost[posts]" />$vbphrase[navbar_sincelastvisit]</phrase>

CREATE NEW PHRASE CALLED navbar_sincelastvisit
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONTENT:

Code:

There have been {1} threads and {2} posts since your last visit!

THE HACK IS NOW INSTALLED, ENJOY!

Wait... it's showing that for everything. :surprised:

Upload global.php.

I'm having the same problem even though everything (after double and triple checking) seems to look like it's supposed to. It shows the words but no #'s. Any idea how I can fix this?

RichieBoy67 · #**154** 07-02-2004, 09:13 PM

Dam, same problem here.... Help please...

Steve123 · #**155** 07-05-2004, 09:49 PM

My forums have a million posts or so..

When it runs the query on the posts table it takes a while.. is there any way around this?

RichieBoy67 · #**156** 07-06-2004, 10:06 PM

Is there any support for this??? Please???

lol...

This wonderfull hack has been re-installed twice in 3 days!

First for VB 3.0.2 and now for 3.0.3!!

Thanks again!

RichieBoy67 · #**158** 07-08-2004, 03:11 PM

maybe you can help me for a minute????

Illuvatar · #**159** 07-08-2004, 05:38 PM

Not a problem! I actually had the same problem you did after I upgraded, and that was because the globals.php file is replaced with the upgrade. All of my other pieces, the phrase, etc. were not affected. So all I had to do was reinsert the code into globals.php and re-upload it....and poof.....all fixed.

Have you verified that your globals is hacked proper?

RichieBoy67 · #**160** 07-08-2004, 06:19 PM

Yep, my global.php should be right on the money.. I uninstalled the template right now though because it wasn't working..

Illuvatar · #**161** 07-08-2004, 07:07 PM

Jeez...dunno..... I'd say to try again....make sure everything is backed out and reapply the whole thing. Should only take like 5 minutes.

RichieBoy67 · #**162** 07-08-2004, 07:58 PM

Yep, I did it like 5 times already..... Maybe another hack is interfering with it..My site is hacked bigtime....

Installed it and it works great

(on vB 3.03)

If you can find the time to look into the permissions thingy, it would be greatly appriciated Gary

Linear Helix, did you solve the problems with the permissions query?
If Yes, would you be so kind to post the correct query?

WEForums · #**165** 07-19-2004, 11:15 AM

*sigh*

Just posting to say this hack makes MySQL rise above 90% a lot of times. Not a good thing, especially since it's on all pages...

Works great.

I had forgotten to upload global.php and had the no numbers problem but all was fixed after getting it onto the server.

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