Miscellaneous Hacks - Threads Started by User in Postbit and Profile

Threads Started by User in Postbit and Profile for vB3.7.0 beta 4
Version 1.0.1
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product counts the threads started by a user and displays it in the postbit and the profile. It will also display the threads per day in the profile. The thread count is automatically updated hourly via cron job. New threads are added to the count in real time. No extra queries are run in the postbit or profile when getting the thread count, only when the cron job runs. This product only counts valid threads (not moderated or soft-deleted threads).

Note: Only 1 query is used during the hourly cron update.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.1 --Initial release (No known bugs)

Credits:
Thanks goes out to Andreas, Paul M and Hambil for their invaluable help with the original version of this product. Without them, this hack would not have been possible. And a special thanks goes out to Icy, for taking care of things while I was away.

It updates the threadcount for each user hourly, not immediately. Check it after an hour and let me know what it says then.

Ok I need your help here Bob.

Not sure how dooable this is, and probably sounds quite crazy.

We have a few users, who get great thread views... and thread activity.

Could we extend this mod to include.

Posts: 527
Threads: 76
Thread Views: 32,768
Thread Replies: 12,456

Could this be done?
Not sure if this would add too many queries.

Basically list a users, entire threadviews, on threads they created. Plus list the amount of replies to that members threads.

Talking totals here and not linkable , lol.

What do you think.. tell me to shut up, you know me im not easily offended

You would be adding queries to the postbit which would be a query for every post. Not doable in my book.

It's okay now, the thread count for that user is back to zero.

But the other problem remains, with or without redirects.

[Boofo]

If that user's thread count is right then the other ones are, too. Have you tried doing a query to check their thread count?

Doesn't show on postbit .

I use "Thank you" Mod & a personal field ( gender) on posbit . But this mod doesn't show ... it works only on memberinfo_block_statistics & memberinfo_block_ministats .

[Boofo]

No, it works fine in the postbit. You need to re-edit the postbit template and make sure you are editing the right one (postbit or postbit_legacy).
