Posts Made by User Over the Past Week and PPD Trend

[ Feature Description ]
While I was taking a shower I thought it would be pretty cool to display how many posts someone made over the past 7 days (week) and show how active the user was over that period of time compared to normal.

The posts made over the past 7 days is pretty much self explanatory but let me explain the trend part. Say your current posts per day is 100. Over the past week you made 140 posts making the ppd average for the past 7 days 20. Your ppd trend is -80 posts per day for the past 7 days. If you don't post at all that week, and your ppd is 100, your trend will be -100. I thought it was a clever way to show how active the user was over the past week.

The query runs pretty fast even on my database of over 700k posts. Only one block of code to add to member.php and one template to edit!

[ What you need to modify/add ]
File to modify: member.php (1 time)
Templates to modify: getinfo
Templates to add: none

[ Tested on ]
vBulletin version 2.2.6 (should work on any vB 2+)

Enjoy, and as always, comments are appreciated!

what i have in quotes above copy the full line into your getinfo template in admin cp

then go to a user profile and u will see it has filled the name and post(s) in for u.

now delete it and follow the orginal hack now as its dead easy to install this one

[Mr_P]

That 'bios' looks great! One of the best so far that I have seen!

tacoX your signatures are going to get manipulated by Firefly if you don't remove 2 out of the 3, since you can only have 1 image signature. :cheeky:

As for this hack and what it does, I now understand

Those of you who keep buggin Gamingforce about what hacks he uses in his postbit, don't because that is not what this thread is meant for.

Good guess...
