Not show users name as latest registered member until....

[TWTCommish]

Alright, find this in index.php (in your main forums directory) file:

$getnewestusers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username FROM user WHERE userid=$numbersmembers[max]");

Right before it, put this:

$respected = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username FROM user WHERE usergroupid = '8' ORDER BY joindate DESC LIMIT 1");

There, now you have these variables available to you in the forumhome template: $respected[userid] and $respected[username].

Great Hack! I had to modify it to suit my needs, of course, but it works great!

[TWTCommish]

Glad you like it. leased:

Many thanks Commish, I finally got this hack installed after getting some other things working. One thing I noticed is that it changed the name, but the # of registered members is still the number of registered users INCLUDING the person that hasn't clicked their verify link yet.

Is there a way to have the registered number match who has and hasn't clicked their verify link?

[TWTCommish]

Yes. Around line 51, you'll see this line of code:

$numbersmembers=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS users,MAX(userid) AS max FROM user');

Chizzange it to this:

$numbersmembers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS users,MAX(userid) AS max FROM user WHERE usergroupid != '-3'");

Well I don't know if it worked since I didn't have somebody register and I guess I wont really know until I see somebodies name in there and I check the number and their usergroup.

Thanks though commish you respond fast too.

Me likes that.

Maybe you can help me on my PM box problem too.

I moved it from the bottom to the top, but when I did that I lost the small left table where the little icon/lightbulb thingy goes and it's centered. If you don't know what I am talking about you can hit this page up and see: http://www.theforumz.com/forumz/index.php

Any help you could offer on this would be of great help as well.

Thanks for your help already too. :up:

I'm not sure what's wrong -- you've mucked up your code pretty bad though, for some reason. Check this out:

<tr id="cat">
	<td bgcolor="000000" colspan="5"><a href="private.php?s=" title="Click Here to Open Your Private Messages Inbox"><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size="2"  color="FFFFFF"><b>Private Messages</font></b></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td bgcolor="383838" align="center" valign="top"><img src="images/off.gif" alt=""></td>
	<td bgcolor="333232"  colspan="4"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" >
	<b>TWTCommish</b> - You have 0 new message(s) since your last visit.<br>
	(You have 0 unread messages and 0 total messages in all your folders.)</font></td>
</tr>
</tr>

I don't think there should be two closing table row tags at the end there...no without a closing table data or closing table tag, or something. Anyway, I don't know if it'll work, but here's my advice: stick the "#" character before those bgcolor attributes (before the "383838" part), and change align="center" in the first cell to align="left". See if that works.

Is all I did was moved the $pminfo up in the template that's it. And I don't think I ever messed up pmloggedinusers so that should be messed up entier.

I tried changing that to left and all it does is move the blue square over to the left, but the text stays centered.

I think it was using that table seperation from the forumbits or something.

[TWTCommish]

Try changing this...

<tr>
	<td bgcolor="383838" align="center" valign="top"><img src="images/off.gif" alt=""></td>
	<td bgcolor="333232"  colspan="4"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" >
	<b>TWTCommish</b> - You have 0 new message(s) since your last visit.<br>
	(You have 0 unread messages and 0 total messages in all your folders.)</font></td>
</tr>

...to this...

<tr>
	<td bgcolor="#383838" width="10%" align="left" valign="top"><img src="images/off.gif" alt=""></td>
	<td bgcolor="#333232"  width="90%" colspan="4"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" >
	<b>TWTCommish</b> - You have 0 new message(s) since your last visit.<br>
	(You have 0 unread messages and 0 total messages in all your folders.)</font></td>
</tr>

The width attribute might do the trick...but yes, moving it to the top must've done it, because mine is aligned just fine, and I've used no width attribute.

[Gutspiller]

You are looking at the html source which does look fawkered.

here's part of the source from the pmloggedin template:

PHP Code:


<tr>
    <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" align="left" valign="top"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$lightbulb.gif" alt=""></td>
    <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"  colspan="4"><smallfont>
    <b>$bbuserinfo[username]</b> - You have $newpm[messages] new message(s) since your last visit.<br>
    (You have $unreadpm[messages] unread messages and $allpm[messages] total messages in all your folders.)</smallfont></td> 


There is no width in that source, which was pulled directly from the pmlogged template.
