UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications [6.4 - 6.5 - 6.6] [finished] Last Member = Total Members

Modification Name: Last Member = Total Members

Author(s): AllenAyres, Charles Capps

Description: Looking to add some zip back into your ubb.forum? All forums have a plethora of peeps who register and never come back to participate... while this gives you a nice number of members, the sheer number of profiles/ size of the member files needing to be searched through/loaded during routine board functions can add significant server overhead. You can prune your memberlist back, but then it looks like you killed your forum's popularity. Using this simple mod will boost "Total Members: x" number back up to its once proud status while still allowing you to prune the members back to more manageable sizes.

It keeps the "Total Members: x" set to the last regged/approved member number

Demo: here

Download Link: .

Instructions / Other Info: Open ubb_forum_summary.cgi

FIND:

my $TotalMembers = &GetMemberTotal;

REPLACE WITH:

my $TotalMembers = &GetLastMemberNumber + 0;

why plus zero???

So it wouldn't be "00000001" but "1"

yes, thanks to cc for that bit-o-help

I see neat

I don't think the link is right. Is there a place this can be downloaded?

there is no link, he posted the actual code in the post itself.

So this entire hack is just a "one liner"?

- MT

yep
