PLEASE CLICK ON THE INSTALL BUTTON IF YOU INSTALLED THIS! THANKS!

What does this hack do?

This hack basically shows the number of new threads and posts since your last visit, in the navbar (under your nick.) Check out the attached screenshot for more information

Installation
This is a pretty simple hack to install.
Instructions are as follows:

FILE MODIFICATIONS
global.php

TEMPLATE MODIFICATIONS
navbar

PHRASES
navbar_sincelastvisit

OPEN global.php AND FIND

PHP Code:


			
    echo "End call of global.php:  $aftertime\n"; 

    echo "\n<hr />\n\n"; 

}

(NOTE: If you want old threads with new posts to count as a new thread, then skip this next step)
UNDER IT, ADD

PHP Code:


			
# SINCE YOUR LAST VISIT 

$getnewthread=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread WHERE lastpost > '".$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']."'"); 

$getnewpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post WHERE dateline > '".$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']."'");

(NOTE: If you did the step above, then skip this next step)

UNDER IT, ADD

PHP Code:


			
# SINCE YOUR LAST VISIT 

$getnewthread=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread WHERE dateline > '".$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']."'"); 

$getnewpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post WHERE dateline > '".$bbuserinfo['lastvisit']."'");

OPEN UP THE navbar TEMPLATE AND FIND

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

UNDER IT, ADD

HTML Code:

<br /><phrase 1="$getnewthread[threads]" 2="$getnewpost[posts]" />$vbphrase[navbar_sincelastvisit]</phrase>

CREATE NEW PHRASE CALLED navbar_sincelastvisit
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONTENT:

Code:

There have been {1} threads and {2} posts since your last visit!

THE HACK IS NOW INSTALLED, ENJOY!

     ");

You just to the same thing for the other query.

Havent tested it but it should work.

I was talking about the one where forums that the user is not allowed to access is included in the query.

IN(" . implode(', ', $forumids) . ")

Shows you what I know, huh?

Any way to combine the 2 queries like that?

EDIT: That query had a syntax error in it somewhere.

where? Dont see anything wrong with it.. :/

And why would you want to combine those two? they are from two different table... You wont gain anything by joining them.

Boofo · #56 01-10-2004, 10:08 PM

Well, it wouldn't run. It gave me an error near lastpost IN.

Joining the queries will reduce it to one and save one query.

No probs Gary.

it will, but the process and execusion time would be about the same.

But then again, im a n00b and get things wrong most of the time...

Find:

PHP Code:


			
    $show = $memberstext.' '.strtolower($vbphrase['online']).': '.$regmemberson.'. '.$gueststext.' '.strtolower($vbphrase['online']).': '.$guestson.'.';

Replace with

PHP Code:


			
    $show = $memberstext.' '.strtolower($vbphrase['online']).': <b>'.$regmemberson.'</b>. '.$gueststext.' '.strtolower($vbphrase['online']).': <b>'.$guestson.'</b>.';

That should do it
