Say my name SCREAM my name hack

A very simple hack.

This hack displays the total amount of times your name has been said in a post(say) and how many times you name has been said in a title(scream). It is very simple yet a nice conforting feeling for some people to see that there name is said often :}

here is a screen shot of it.

I wouldn't install this on a large forum, as it scans the whole post table every time. Nice idea, though.

[Sparkz]

I guess using the word and searchindex tables to determine what posts the username is mentioned in, and then go from there to actually scanning the posts.

I haven't looked at the actual hack yet, so I don't know if you already to it like this, but Firefly's post suggests that you don't...

[zajako]

it is a db serach very very similar to that of the how many threads while you were away as well as posts. Almost the same so if you had a problem with that then there will be a problem wiht this. If you had no problem with that one this should be fine :}

[Sparkz]

Well, those queries don't actually scan the contents of the posts, they just check dates.

And your code doesn't actually count how many times a name was said, but in how many posts/titles it was said...

Just keep an eye on your serverload if you have a bit of traffic

[zajako]

ahh, you are correct sparkz, but it is close enough....maybe a 2.0 release might do a better job, but for now this works :}

A lot of people call me filburt, furby, Arien (my real name), etc...it would be cool if we could define what name to search for
