Probobly simle question.

Hi dudes.

I have a simple question ( I hope )
I have added a new "User Profile Field" called Nick.
Now i want to use it to find a rank in my Db.

The DB looks like this:

Table Name: stats_individual
Rows: name , rank

What i need is to display the "rank" under "posts" in the postbit using the "nick" the user provided in the CP.

I have tried to edit the postbit but i cant get it to work :-(
My test:

Location: $post[field2]
Posts: $post[posts]
Rank: SELECT rank FROM stats_individual WHERE name=$post[field5]

That dident work ( Not that i actualy belived that it would )
Any ideas?

Woa what you said is confusing :-p
SELECT rank FROM stats_individual WHERE name=$post[field5]
Will not work in the post biut
You may want to try putting in the showthread.php

PHP Code:

$ranking = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT rank FROM stats_individual WHERE name='$post[field5]'"); 


That should select the field rank where the name is whatever

I am still bit confused on what you want, but try that.
Also then in the postbit
put
Rank: $ranking[rank]

@Arunan: Thank would create an extra query for each post!!
It would work you are right, but one more query per post is not good

@Don:
open showthread.php find:

PHP Code:

    FROM post
    ".iif($forum[allowicons],'LEFT JOIN icon ON icon.iconid=post.iconid','')."
    LEFT JOIN user ON user.userid=post.userid
    LEFT JOIN userfield ON userfield.userid=user.userid 


DIRECTLY after that lines put this line:

PHP Code:

   LEFT JOIN stats_individual ON (stats_individual.name=userfield.field5) 


then few lines above there is this part:

PHP Code:

post.*,post.username AS postusername, 


change ti to:

PHP Code:

post.*,stats_individual.rank,post.username AS postusername, 


then you can use $post[rank] in your postbit template

Well both look good.
But non of them work :-(

I dont get any errors or any indication that something is wrong.
It simply dont display anything.

ur rite...lost my mind, because I didn't tell him where to put it either lol.

That above should work.

Ahh.
There were 2 places in Showtread to change.
One in the begining and one in the end :-)

Now it works.
Thanks dudes.

you're welcome

@Arunan: , as long as i saw where you wanted to put it, and could give a better advice it's ok
I remember my own first small hacks to showthread.php, without the microstats hack i always thought all is good ^^
