[For 1.6] Thread Count Pro

[Aquilez]

Description

This plugins shows a thread count in the member page and in the post bit.

Unlike others plugins, this one saves the thread count on the users table. This method has a few advantages:

• You can show the thread count in any place you want (even on externals applications)
  
• It dosn't require extra database querys to count the threads made by each user (Using others plugins, showing a thread with 10 posts would make 10 extra querys <<-- Total waste of resources).
  

The only extra query this plugin make is when a new thread is created/deleted.

To developers

Because it's a field in the users table, you can access the field value like the normal post count:

• $mybb->user['threadnum'] - Always. Shows the logged user thread count.
  
• $memprofile['threadnum'] - On the profile page. Tt's the count belogning to the user profile
  
• $post['threadnum'] - On the showthread. It's the count belogning to the current post author

Templates Changes

This plugin makes 2 templates changes automatically. If it didn't work on your theme, you can modify them manually:

=== member_profile ===

Find:

<tr>
<td class="trow1"><strong>{$lang->total_posts}</strong></td>
<td class="trow1">{$memprofile['postnum']} ({$lang->ppd_percent_total})<br /><span class="smalltext">(<a href="search.php?action=finduserthreads&amp;uid={$uid}">{$lang->find_threads}</a> &mdash; <a href="search.php?action=finduser&amp;uid={$uid}">{$lang->find_posts}</a>)</span></td>
</tr>

Replace with:

<tr>
<td class="trow1"><strong>{$lang->total_posts}</strong></td>
<td class="trow1">{$memprofile['postnum']} ({$lang->ppd_percent_total})<br /><span class="smalltext">(<a href="search.php?action=finduser&amp;uid={$uid}">{$lang->find_posts}</a>)</span></td>
</tr>
<!-- CountThreads -->
<tr>
<td class="trow1"><strong>{$lang->total_threads}</strong></td>
<td class="trow1">{$memprofile[\'threadnum\']} ({$lang->threads_statistics})<br /><span class="smalltext">(<a href="search.php?action=finduserthreads&amp;uid={$uid}">{$lang->find_threads}</a>)</span></td>
</tr>
<!-- /CountThreads -->

=== postbit_author_user ===

Find:

{$lang->postbit_posts} {$post['postnum']}<br />

Sweet plugin, honestly might be more useful for developers than users ;P

Much appreciated! +rep

You say it makes 3 template changes, but only listed 2?

Oh, yes..
The plugin makes 2 changes in member_profile:

• It adds the thread count and
  
• it deletes the "Search Threads" link from the Post count
  

In this thread, both changes are together. Just a typo. "Fixed".

Ok, I may use this, just a quick question...is there a way to integrate a "Thread Rating" like we have our default "Post Rating" with the posting titles?

And also how about a rating that averages your posts and threads together, so it would be (average# = post#/thread#)

So in our post bits and profile pages we could have 3 separate ranks/titles...

Post rank/title (this, all our forums have)
Thread rank/title
Average rank/title

Is this possible?



Also, I meanour rank/titles...not the "rank this post type rank" but our actual post bit and profile ranks/titles.

I didn't fully understand your first question.
Do you want to add the thread count (plus the average) to the postbit?
If yes, this plugins already adds the threadcoun by default.

I could add an average thread/posts. I'll think about it

It only starts counting as soon as you install the plugin, is there a way to get the threads posted before installation.
