List latest X paid subscribers on Forum Home · **Released**: 05-17-2004

There's also a vB 3.5 version here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=99049

What this hack does: This hack will list and instantly refresh (when a new subscription is made) a list of the latest X paid subscribers to your forum. It's a nice way of recognizing members who help pay the the forum bills, and encourages others to join.

Demo: http://forum.lowcarber.org

PHP edits:
1. 2 edits in index.php
2. 1 edit in includes/functions.php
3. 2 edits in includes/functions_subscriptions.php

Template edits:
1. 1 new template: thanks
2. 1 edit in FORUMHOME

Installation:

1. In index.php

Find:

PHP Code:


			
'FORUMHOME',

Add after:

PHP Code:


			
'thanks',

Find:

PHP Code:


			
// ### TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS

Add before:

PHP Code:


			
$thanks = $templatecache['thanks'];

2. In include/functions.php

At the end of the file, just before the end/footer stuff,

Code:

/*======================================================================*\
|| ####################################################################
|| # Downloaded: Thu Apr 15th 2004
|| # CVS: $RCSfile: functions.php,v $ - $Revision: 1.967 $
|| ####################################################################
\*======================================================================*/
?>

add before:

PHP Code:


			
// ###################### thankyou #######################

function thankyou(){

      global $DB_site;



    // This is the template for usernames

    $thanksbit = ' <a href=\"member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$contributer[userid]\"><font color=\"#228E8E\"><b>$contributer[username]</b></font></a>';



    $latestcontributers = $DB_site->query("SELECT username, status,regdate,  subscriptionlog.userid

                FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "subscriptionlog AS subscriptionlog

                LEFT  JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user

                USING ( userid )

                WHERE user.userid = subscriptionlog.userid

                AND STATUS = '1'

                ORDER  BY  regdate  DESC

                LIMIT 5");



    $latest_str = '';

    while ($contributer = $DB_site->fetch_array($latestcontributers))

    {

        eval("\$latest_str .= ', ' . \"$thanksbit\";");

    }

    $latest_str = substr($latest_str , 2);

    $latest_str = addslashes($latest_str);

    $DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "template SET template=\"$latest_str\", template_un=\"$latest_str\"  WHERE title='thanks'");

}

Note 1: Change "LIMIT 5" to any number. By default, it will show the latest 5 paid subscribers. If you want to show the latest 3, simply change to "LIMIT 3".
Note2 The template for usernames is in the code. To change the style and colour, edit this line from the code you added to functions.php:

PHP Code:


			
    $thanksbit = ' <a href=\"member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$contributer[userid]\"><font color=\"#228E8E\"><b>$contributer[username]</b></font></a>';

3. In includes/functions_subscriptions.php

Find:

PHP Code:


			
}

      

      // ###################### Start leavesubscription #######################

      

      function delete_user_subscription($subscriptionid, $userid)

Add before (before the bracket):

PHP Code:


			
thankyou();

Find:

PHP Code:


			
}

      

      // ###################### Start getsubscriptionscache #######################

      function cache_user_subscriptions()

Add before (before the bracket:

PHP Code:


			
thankyou();

4. Create a new template: thanks

Leave the new template empty

5. Edit the FORUMHOME template

Add $thanks where you want the list of members to appear.

For example, I use this in the stats area of FORUMHOME:

Code:

<div>Thanks latest <a href="subscriptions.php">contributing members</a>: $thanks</div>

6. First run To auto fill the list for the first time, you just need to edit an existing subscription, or just wait for the next subscription to arrive.

To auto fill it right now: Simply go to your admin control panel, click on subscriptions, view list, edit any existing subscription, for example, add 1 day to the subscription of a member, and save. You can re-edit to subtract the 1 day if you want.

You're right. I forgot that there was no date references for usergroups. I'll have to come back to this one I guess once I have some time to play around with it. I'm still trying to restore everything after upgrading to 3.0.1.

kall · #13 06-28-2004, 10:48 PM

I'm getting foreach errors also..

One question: when you say 'before the bracket', do you mean 'before the curly bracket' or 'before the round bracket?'

I currently have:

PHP Code:


			
 thankyou(); 

}



// ###################### Start leavesubscription #######################

function delete_user_subscription($subscriptionid, $userid)

{

and

PHP Code:


			
    ");

    }



 thankyou();



}



// ###################### Start getsubscriptionscache #######################

function cache_user_subscriptions()

tamarian · #14 06-28-2004, 11:16 PM

Kall, the "thankyou();" line should be plasced above the quoted code.

The code you posed (the first block) look fine.

If you still have problems, email me the two files and I'll take a look.

tamarian · #15 06-29-2004, 12:53 AM

For those interested, I've had a few emails back and forth with Kall, and he emailed me several of his forum files to investigate.

The conclusion is as follows:

1. The "foreach" warning is a result of another hack, in combination with this hack. The other hack is the "store cash hack". The line numbers reported in the warning is not related to this hack.

2. Despite the warning, both hacks seem to work fine, with no problems, so you can ignore it.

I'm getting errors, too:

I'm unable to edit subscriptions.

I have the ucash/ustore hack installed, as well as the recurring paypal hack.

The "foreach" error is not a problem, but the mysql error is a problem. I've made an update to the first post.

You just need to re-do step 2 with this code:

PHP Code:


			
    // ###################### thankyou #######################
    function thankyou(){
          global $DB_site,  $stylevar, $vboptions, $vbphrase;
    
        require_once('./global.php');
    
        $latestcontributers = $DB_site->query("SELECT username, status, regdate,   subscriptionlog.userid
                    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "subscriptionlog AS subscriptionlog
                    LEFT  JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user
                    USING ( userid )
                    WHERE user.userid = subscriptionlog.userid
                    AND STATUS = '1'
                    ORDER  BY  regdate  DESC
                    LIMIT 5");
    
        $latest_str = "";
        while ($contributer = $DB_site->fetch_array($latestcontributers))
        {
            eval ('$latest_str .= ", ' . fetch_template('thanksbit') . '";');
        }
        $latest_str = substr($latest_str , 2);
        $latest_str = addslashes($latest_str);
 $DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "template SET template=\"$latest_str\", template_un=\"$latest_str\" WHERE title='thanks'");
    }

Thanks for the prompt response. Now I'm getting this error:

PHP Code:


			
       $latestcontributers = $DB_site->query("SELECT username, status, regdate  subscriptionlog.userid

There's a comma missing after regdate, it seems.

Ah, yes. Thanks for the catch!

I've just updated the missing comma as pointed out by assassingod. Give it another try and let me know how it goes.
