UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Individual Poster Stats - Version 1.0

Just got this working today. Don't know if there is a better way to code it, but the way I did it works. Basically what this does is show how many posts a user makes per day based on how long they've been a member, and it also shows how long they've been a member in days. You can put the info a user's displayed profile and into to the thread, next to their total post count. I have done both, see my links below.

Ok readme is all set up. Get it here:

Individual Poster Stats 1.0

Enjoy!

I'm very Interested!!! Let me know if you need help with anything like testing!!!

"8.14 posts per day??? Geez Brett, get a life bro. "
- says Glenn that himself has 16,86 post pr. day

LOL

Writing it up now guys. Glenn is a cool cat, he is WELL AWARE that he is a posting nut. We got one guy who averages almost 30 a day. Code should be ready in about 45 guys.

Ok all done guys, link is in my first post.

Is it only me or the public_topic_page.pl code is incorrect?

BTW,

Looks good Brett, I'd like to add at least the profile piece here, that'd be cool info

Well I did make one correction, but nothing to public_topic_page.pl, so let me know if something is wrong guys.

I can't find "$date_registered" and "$user_profile[7]" in public_topic_page.pl...

Now I put the registration part of public_topic_page.pl part in ubb_lib_posting.cgi right after and replaced with the posts part of public_topic_page.pl and
In your instructions you replaced it with a Wordlet™...

Hope it helped, and great mod btw

Thanks LK!

Ok I think I caught all fixes. File above should have them all. It's real late so my head probably isn't on straight and I missed something, or left something out. If I did I apologize. I had to code this different on here because my board has so many changes it doesn't even look like the stock code in parts, so that's why I had to make adjustments. I used a stock UBB 6.05 to write this readme file. So if there are problems I will address them tomorrow, but hopefully things are cool now.

Slurpee, can I post a URL to my attempt?

Are you saying it's still screwy LK?

Yeah
PM'd you the URL to the updated file

Well in support of Slurpee, I installed it on my 6.04e based forum, which has around 31 hacks installed and it works perfectly.

Excellent, changes made and the file aboove is updated. Should be working fine now. Like I said it was late and my ubb_lib_posting.cgi is way different than the stock one.

Thanks LK!

Like the idea. Checked it out and works great on my test board!

Great Mod!!!
How can I only made it show up in the profiles, and not under each post?

I would think just dont do the code modified in ubb_lib_posting.cgi.

Im not sure tho.

PS: Slurpee Im not sure but isnt the vars_wordlets_mods code supposed to be

Poster_Stats_Day => "day",
Poster_Stats_Days => "days",
Poster_Stats_PerDay => "per day",

instead of

Poster_Stats_Day => q~day~,
Poster_Stats_Days => q~days~,
Poster_Stats_PerDay => q~per day~,


or does it not matter?

Nice hack... looks and works great

Maurice - Just don't do the editing of the ubb_lib_posting.cgi file.

Rzenik - Should work either way.

Finally there is a fix guys, so MAKE SURE you do this. I have updated the readme file. If you don't, profiles of your users will display blank if a new user posts on the same day he registers.

Look for TWO instances of this. One in ubb_lib_posting.cgi and one in public_display_profile.pl:


Replace BOTH instances with the following:

Sorry I take it all back, that last piece of code totally screwed my forum. Now once you've posted a reply it states:

Content-type: text/html
Software error:
Illegal division by zero at /home/******/************/cgi-bin/ubb2/ubb_lib_posting.cgi line 723.

Not only that but uploading from backups doesn't resolve the problem, jesus I'm screwed.

UPDATE: Well I completely removed the original hack from the four files (manually) and went back to all old code and that seemed to work. Now I'll just wait for this one to have all the more diffecult bugs resolved before trying again.

Mark, try to get the new TXT and rehack ubb_lib_posting.cgi.

works great Thanks Brett

Mark - Problem has been fixed, that's why I posted above. Go back to the readme file, the fix is there. Try rehacking it, all should be fine.

You haven't made any OTHER changes have you since the 'updated' file you mention to have been issued above. In other words, you haven't introduced 'EXTRA' changes to it in the last 10-11 hours or so?

I say this because after the screw up with the older code this morning I downloaded the newer file and edited the readme since your instructions are quite ugly =). Added more spaces and made the 'HACK HINTS' stand out from the code, don't want to do it all again =).

Will try hacking again later.

Mark - What do you mean my instructions are ugly? It's just find and replace bro, seems to me they are pretty clear. Anyways the problem you were having was a result of the change I made, whether you applied to correctly or not I do no know. So try it again, believe me the fix works.

Interfers with last post in profile, i think.

zero, it works fine in Van Halen Forums and my forums with Last Post in Profile hack.

sorry it was calendar trouble i forgot about the user profile limit, hehe i was gonna change it but now u make me look like a dope

Thanks Slurpee works like a champ!
(I used the original docs, then the update you posted)!!!

Thanks for the notes on compensating for the Active Topics Hack!!

Much appreciated!!!

What I mean is that you'll have something like:

'Find me:' on the line directly above some code, but with such complex stuff on the screen it's easy to miss that.

Always good to use a lot of spaces and put '>>>>' before instruction lines. I'm going to give the hack another go today and we'll see how things are.

UPDATE: Ok as hoped, the new code works without conflict. Now to upgrade my poll system and somehow get from Who's Online 3.8d to v4 without screwing the forum.

I'll leave things 'un-edited' for a couple more days just in case readers start to report a problem.

this hack did work, but only after I changed that... maybe you shuld update the zip, slurp...

otherwise, big thumbs up, as usual... will you be my valentine?

Eel, it doesn't matter unless you use " in the Wordlets.

Awesome!!
