User has started X threads

This one is a request from JJR512. It shows, in the user's publicly-accesible profile (member.php?action=getinfo), how many threads that user has started.



Hack version: 0.0.2

For version: 2.0.0 Final

Files needed: memberadd.txt, getinfoadd.txt

Files to edit: member.php

Templates to edit: getinfo

Instructions
1] Open memberadd.txt from the zip file in a text editor.

2] In member.php, find (around line 1193)

     eval("\$birthday = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_birthday")."\";");
  }

Directly below this, add the contents of memberadd.txt

3] Upload member.php to your web server.

4] Open getinfoadd.txt from the zip file in a text editor.

4] In the template getinfo, find

<tr bgcolor="#F1F1F1"><td>
<normalfont><B>Total Posts:</B></normalfont></td>
<td><normalfont>$userinfo[posts] ($postsperday posts per day)</normalfont>
</td></tr>

Directly below this, add the contents of the getinfoadd.txt file.

5] Save the template.

6]To test it out, go to http://path/to/your/forums/member.ph...tinfo&userid=5

Instructions are also included in the zip file (threadsstarted.txt).

Does this work on v2.26? Can't get the threads started to work. When I put the code directly under:

PHP Code:

eval("\$birthday = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_birthday")."\";");
  } 


I get a T_else error. When I put it after:

PHP Code:

eval("\$birthday = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_birthday")."\";");
   } else {
                $birthday = '';
        } 


It is blank (no numbers). Where do I insert the code that says directly under:

"eval("\$birthday = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_birthday")."\";");
}" ?

Update it to

PHP Code:

$startcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(title) AS starts FROM thread WHERE postuserid='$userinfo[userid]' AND open!='10'"); 


so it uses id's and not names, since names can change and id's are unique. And when users have a ' or " in their name, it won't db error you :>

THANX KURAFIRE for the fix.

and now it works on 2.2.0 - 2.2.8

Wow, so tubedogg made this hack but never realized the flaws of WHERE'ing by username instead of userid? Cool

I'd like to add $starts to my postbit template below a users total post count, but I guess it needs a bit more tweaking for this to work.

ANy ideas?

[PsyBlast]

how could I get this to also show the last 5 threads a user has started?

[Zelda-King]

I like this. What'd be great is being able to run a search for a user's threads.

I've found a bug though. You get a SQL syntax error when clicking on the profile of a user with ' in their name. The ' interferes with the query.

It's actually not the php that causes it to not work. You can put it under the birthday function's last }

What you need to do is remove the TR html code after the total posts in the getinfo template. If you paste the code he suggested, there will be two TR's which mess up the table.

At least, that works for me....

Works great on 2.3.0
