Change style on index with UPDATE

This hack displays a small box at the top of your forum's index, where you can change easily of style.
The number of users who used is too displayed just next the Style's name.

This hacks was already existed :

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...tyle+AND+index

but it didn't updat the user's table in the database, and if you use others hacks which display the user's style in the postbit, or an other hack to list hacks used on your board (such as mine or Lesane's), information which was displayed was false ! Now, it's updated when the user uses this scroll menu, and so, no pb with other hacks :-)

Moreover, the style directly shown in the scroll menu, is the style that the user uses, so he knows which style he used
A simple changement in this scroll menu, and the user is automatically redirected to the forum's index with the new style selected




Ce hack affiche en haut de votre forum une petite boite, ou vous pouvez facilement changer de style.
Le nombre d'utilisateurs utilisant ce style est egalement montre a cote du nom du style.

Ce genre de hack existait deja :

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...tyle+AND+index

mais il ne mettait pas a jour les infos du membre dans la table user, et si vous utilisez d'autres hacks qui montre le style de chaque membre dans le postbit, ou mon hack qui liste les styles utilises sur votre forum, les infos affichees auraient alors pu etre fausses ! Maintenant c'est mis a jour quand le user utilise ce petit menu, et ainsi, plus de pb avec les autres hacks :-)

De plus, le style actuellement utilis? par le membre est directement affiche, ainsi il sait quel style il utilise a tout moment.
Un simple changement dans ce menu, redirige le membre vers l'accueil du forum avec le nouveau style choisi



[HIGH]Here is the english version.
I could understand a mod or Firefly want to remove this hack (which is only a modification of an other one)

Voici la version anglaise.
Je pourrais comprendre qu'un modo ou un Firefly veuille supprimer ce hack, etant donne que ce n'est que la modification d'un hack de Firefly[/HIGH]

Can this be modified so it will work in the header template as well? If so, how?

[grog6]

Use firefly to use it in the header, I think it should be better

With mine, all modifications are done in the index.php, and if you want to do it in the header, you' ve to modify the global.php ...

Might install this if I have the time to do so..

Nice hack, but the numbers are not coming up correct for me.
To see what I mean see: http://www.avalancheonline.com/forums/index.php?s=
I have close to 1900 members yet only 200 or so users are showing up in the menu. And these are the only 3 styles there are.

@Edgar - You could alternatively force all users to update their styles, by running this query:

[sql]UPDATE user SET styleid='1' WHERE styleid!='2' AND styleid!='4'[/sql]
^ That should work

That query will update all users setting their styleid to 1, unless their styleid is 2 or 4 (the other 2 styles on your site)

FireFly's doesn't Update things like the postbit hack like yours does. That's why I was wondering if you can expand on this one. -.-

[grog6]

Try this Sidekick, it may bu usefull for you

[grog6]

I haven't looked at this hack yet, but just ask the question to the hacker, he should answer you with pleasure
