Adding Referral Count to User Stats

[Erwin]

Did you paste that in the right place? Your error message does not correlate with the query.

You need to make sure you have $DB_site listed with the globals at the top of the buildpostbit function.

[Erwin]

Do this:

In functions.php -

Find:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start buildpostbit ####################### 


Underneath, add:

PHP Code:

global $DB_site 


Like I said, this is usually not done because you don't want to add 1 query per post per thread. But you wanted it.

Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in /public_html/forums/admin/functions.php on line 59

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getuserinfo() in /public_html/forums/admin/sessions.php on line 365

Well ... I added the additonal piece of code as stated and it gave me the above errors. I also double checked the original code and all is in the locations you specified.

My intent for the count was to promote refers through a points/awards system. At 10 referal they can earn something, 25 points... and so on. I wanted to display it within the user stats to entice a competitive spirit

Maybe there's a better way of doing this?

Thanks again!

Make sure theres a ; on the end, ie:

PHP Code:

global $DB_site;

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /public_html/forums/admin/functions.php on line 230

Back down to one error .....

I tried this with the first bit of code Erwin posted as well.. didn't work. Although there are no errors and everything works fine... just no referrals #

did you paste "Referrals : #$referals;"?

IF you did, you ARE supposed to take out the pound (#) symbol

That's irrelevant buddy ^ the # is just what will apeare in the postbit template so it will like this:

PHP Code:

Referrals: #4
