good hack min

[JJR512]

This is a cool little hack, I've just implemented it with no problems other than my own stupidity (I forgot to upload the new index.php -- d'Oh!).

Anyway, after I installed it and looked at it (I put the output on a new line under the thread and post counts), it occurred to me that if you've imported from UBB (as I have), this isn't really a true count. UBB doesn't keep track of thread views, so however many you had while using UBB don't count. Your actual number may be a little higher or much higher; there's no real way to know.

This is not a criticism; I don't mean to rain on this parade. I'm just pointing it out, that's all.

Yup, you're right, but I guess it's a good thing if you're starting over or just starting up using VBulletin. If you're importing into VB from anything else like UBB, it won't convert the thread views.....Just thought it be cool to have for those that wanted it

Good idea! Thx for repost it as a own thread.

great little hack!!
I have added this feature on my forum ^_^
thanks

As far as the ubb missing views, could you add a little saying as of May 7, 2001 or something like that. If so how would I do that?

Dan

where do I insert this at?

what line number?

And what about adding "Thread views since""
Like posted above

Great idea.

That was just an idea I had. I would like to know as well. Any hackers interested.

easy dude

Just insert

$totalviews since 1-5-01 into where you want it on your forum home template

[JJR512]

Well, it's very simple. Where ever you stick the $totalviews, just put the text by that. For example, if you put it in your forumhome template, so it's below your total threads and total posts, as I did, like this:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

You could just change it to this:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

(Or use whatever date it was when you converted from UBB to vB.)

Where do you paste the code at, in the index.php? Anywhere special.

Can someone give an example of placement.

Thanks
Dan

in the forum home template


Put it under launch buddy list or wherever
