The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

About Developer · **Released**: 09-20-2001

I had tried a version suggested by someone else instead of my own and well, all it did was send the load average up by about 10 times what it was.

This version inserts the last title into the forum database when it is updating the last post name and time. There is no difference in loading time as everything is called normally by vBulletin.

This works on 2.0.x and 2.2.x

Thanks to floren for the latest update.

and you are right about the editing. i missed the title part. thank you.
i'm gonna ask scott to move it on top the file, since it fixed the last bug we all had problems with.

Works with the current version of the lasttitle hack. (Not fully my work, read 2 pages earlier in this topic.) I will (try to) update it everytime PPN/Teck update the last title hack.

Run this query:

PHP Code:


			
ALTER TABLE forum ADD lasticon SMALLINT(5) NOT NULL AFTER lastthread;

File: FORUM/admin/functions.php
Find:

PHP Code:


			
  $lastpost=0;

  $lastthread='';

  $lastposter='';

Add after that:

PHP Code:


			
  $lasticon='';

Find:

PHP Code:


			
        if($getchildforum[lastthread]=='') {

          $threadtitle=$DB_site->fetch_array($DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM thread WHERE forumid='$forumid' AND lastposter='$getchildforum[lastposter]' AND lastpost='$getchildforum[lastpost]'"));

          $lastthread=$threadtitle[title];

        } else {

          $lastthread=$getchildforum[lastthread];

        }

Add after that:

PHP Code:


			
        if($getchildforum[lasticon]=='') {

          $posticon=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT iconid FROM post WHERE dateline='$threadtitle[lastpost]' AND username='$threadtitle[lastposter]'");

It works however updating the forums in the admin cp is very slow. Could someone tell me how to fix this?

Scott MacVicar · #**274** 09-27-2002, 09:49 AM

If i could find your file

its slow as your adding an extra query per forum so when it tries to update them it will take ages.

TECK · #**275** 09-28-2002, 04:21 AM

i noticed another bug. when i post a poll, it will not update the title on forumhome.
to fix it, open newthread.php and find:

Code:

      //create new thread
      if ($postpoll) {
         $visible = 0;

replace it with:

Code:

      //create new thread
      if ($postpoll) {
         $visible = 0;
         $DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET lastthread='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($subject))."' WHERE forumid IN ($foruminfo[parentlist])");

N9ne · #**276** 09-28-2002, 08:35 PM

Question: How many queries does this add to forumhome?

TECK · #**277** 09-28-2002, 09:19 PM

none. that's why i install it.
my goal on my board is to have a low query number, is the most important for the speed and performance of the site.

N9ne · #**278** 09-28-2002, 09:32 PM

That's my goal too! Is there a way I can contact you via MSN or AIM? I'd love to know, if it's ok with you how you keep your queries down...

I'm glad this doesn't add ANY queries at all!

I need some help cutting queries down in some files..

TECK · #**279** 09-29-2002, 12:48 AM

sorry, i dont do support over IM's. that's why we have forums.

Scott MacVicar · #**280** 09-29-2002, 01:27 PM

You'll find that as long as you dont go adding too many features or the author provides a way to combine queries you will have efficent code.

But please dont think that more queries means a slower execution time, it all depends on how big the table is, indexes, how many tables there is and what your scanning for.

N9ne · #**281** 09-29-2002, 07:13 PM

Yeah, well on my proper forums right now, I went over the top with hacks [60+ of them] and it slowed the forums down, had 46 queries on forumhome etc..
