PM Statistics bar in thread view

This hack was requested by SgtSling.

This is a very simple hack that displays the PM statistics of a user in the thread view screen.
It requires no template modifications because it appends itself on to $post[posts].

Here is how to implement this hack.

In showthread.php look for the following code:

PHP Code:

while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts) and $counter++<$perpage) {

  if ($postdone[$post[postid]]) {
    $counter--;
    continue;
  } else {
    $postdone[$post[postid]]=1;
  }
  $postbits .= getpostbit($post);
} 

And replace it with the following:

PHP Code:

while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts) and $counter++<$perpage) {

  if ($postdone[$post[postid]]) {
    $counter--;
    continue;
  } else {
    $postdone[$post[postid]]=1;
  }

  $pmcount=$DB_site->query_first("select count(*) as msgs from privatemessage where userid = $post[userid]");
  $pmratio = 100 * $pmcount[msgs] / $pmquota;
  if($pmratio > 100) {
    $pmratio = 100;
  }
  $pmstats = "<p><font face=\"verdana\" size=\"1\">PM Stats:</font><br>";
    $pmstats = "$pmstats<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"80%\" bordercolor=\"#000000\" bordercolorlight=\"#000000\" bordercolordark=\"#000000\"><tr><td bgcolor=\"#b5b5b5\"><img src=\"images/polls/bar3.gif\" width=\"$pmratio%\" height=\"9\"></td></tr></table>";
  $pmstats = "$pmstats\n$pmcount[msgs]/$pmquota";
  $post[posts]="$post[posts]$pmstats";

  $postbits .= getpostbit($post);
}

Sorry My bad.

I copied and pasted this from my editor and it copied the "\" along with the line breaks.

It's fixed now.

I like that a lot! Is there any way I can get instructions and code if possible so I can add that to my site?

Thanks

Here you go: Spoiler Tag Instructions

[TECK]

Who is the person who rated "1" this thread?
If you think is really worth nothing, why don't you write up one similar... better?

/me just rated the thread 5

[Attrox]

Nice idea, I may install it soon. And yes, I'm not sure why this has a thread rating so low...

[Boofo]

Can this be made to work with private messages in the privmsg template?

Also, I want that spoiler vbcode, can I have it? Please?
