Hi Ztsky! What exactly do you mean by "how active"? Number of times they view a thread? Number of times they visit your forums?

I think Number of times they view a thread and Number of times they visit your forums and Number they post a thread and Number of their posts all of "how active" ,
I sugguest vb should support a function to display "how active" a user in our forum.

Well, this was what I needed.

I'm going to let my members advertise on my forums, but I only want to allow active members to do so. This hack could save me a lot of trouble

using this you can easily restrict access to those who aren't active

Not quite so, because the result is cummulative. People can still have a high number after being inactive for months.
But I've added a little extra code to check for the last activity. If that activity was more then 21 days ago, the glamour thing is set to 0

Of cause "how active" is difficult to definite and it is not as a same thing everybody think about.
But this hack can give you a point.

Great hack!
Easy to setup and I love it

Care to share?

modified it a bit:

this will add Personal Views to the posts
image:



in showthread.php

Find:

PHP Code:

    $onlinestatus="";
  } 


Below that add:

PHP Code:

$personal0 = $DB_site->query_first("
    SELECT SUM(views) AS personalviews FROM thread WHERE postuserid='$userinfo[userid]' AND open!='10'");
$personal= 2*$userinfo[posts]+$personal0[personalviews];
  if ($personal0 == ""):
      $personal0 = "0";
  endif; 


then edit template postbit:

Find:

	Posts: $post[posts]</smallfont></td>

Replace that with:

	Posts: $post[posts]<br>
	Personal Views: $personal </smallfont></td>

that should do the trick
have fun

I just thought I would point out that this hack has nothing to do with how active a member is on your forum.

ALL it does is shows how many times ANYONE has viewed a users thread. Not how many threads that user themselves have viewed.

If you want to see it in action to find out how it really works, open up a thread to view the posts.. look at the number of views for the thread creator.. then hit reload.. their number increases by one. Keep hitting reload and their number keeps rising.

So if you are using this hack thinking it shows how frequently your user is surfing around the board looking at people's posts.. you are mistaken.
