Hello all,
I was wondering if someone could help me on a plugin i've developed.
What i want to do is update the latest member in datacache but i don't know how to, me and my friend have looked into the datacache / newusers and he reckons it's in JSON format, is there a cleaner way to update the newest member using a mybb function / class?
Thanks
Are you trying to manipulate the data directly in the database? The data is stored using php serialize/unserialize so you'll have to use that. Otherwise, if you have already added a user and want to update the stats to show the latest user ten just call the rebuild_stats function from inc/functions_rebuild.php
You've to use the following code where you've used integrating script;
$cache->update_stats();
This will update the forum's stats automatically, and you don't have to run recount and rebuild tool again and again
Hi G33K and Yaldaram,
Thank you both for replying, What i wanted was to update the member count after my plugin creates an user account (It's a custom invites only system, registers users who only have a valid invite key) and the problem i'm having is the member count and the "latest member: ... " is not updating.

I was going to yes, but after finding it as my friend thought in a JSON format (which it's not as your post states) posting here was our last efforts so to speak and then to find the solution is much simple, i won't be altering the database directly now.

Thank you for your help both, much appreciated and i'll let you know how i get on.
Hi me again
When i include the file functions_rebuild.php i get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function simple_select() on a non-object in C:\wamp\www\mybb\inc\functions_rebuild.php on line 19
I know the problem that simple_select() isn't included, but i dont know which file where the function is located, does anyone know where the simple_select() actually exists?
Thanks
Are you trying to run this function in a separate environment? That function only works if the MyBB variables are already initialized, either in a plugin, or by first including global.php
Yes, i'm not actually running it as a plugin.
I've included global.php / functions_rebuild.php but i get this error:
Direct initialization of this file is not allowed. - i understand that, but how can i run the script otherwise? i need to run the script directly.
Please make sure IN_MYBB is defined. - i have defined it, as well as THIS_SCRIPT
To include global.php you have to do this:
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
require_once "./global.php";
Thank you for all your support much appreciated as i've got it working now.
I didn't put the define("IN_MYBB", 1); before everything else.
