Updates
  • Fixed SQL error when no thread id is entered. (10-02-2004)



What this does
This will allow you to generate a random username for any thread id you specify. This could be good for picking a random winner in a certain thread.

I got the idea from This thread here

To do list...
  • Time to install: 2 minutes
  • Queries to run: 0
  • File Mods: 1
    • /admincp/index.php
  • Templates to edit: 0
  • Templates to add: 0
  • New Phrases: 1

The only small nitpick suggestion I have is to provide an error message if submit is pushed and no thread id is entered otherwise you get a database error.

Worked great!
Just in case anybody is as daft as I was and didn't know where to find this option in the admincp after making the changes: it's under the Users category.

I'm not terribly familiar with vB, but fortunately, looking at the code, I was able to find it pretty easily.

Now, onto seeing how it works...

Edit: Did what it said on the box, no problems.

Any chance of adding options? For me, for example, I had a rule about having to have a minimum of 50 posts. It'd be great to have some extra options like that. Oh, I also have a rule about posting more than once in the thread. Is there any way to eliminate doubleposters?

Anyway, thanks a million for your contribution!

This hack is EXACTLY what im looking for! thanks so much for putting it together man.

I have 2 questions:

1) How does it pick a member?
2) Does it consider how many posts the person has in the thread? ie if you have 5 posts in a thread and another guy has 1 do you have 5x better chance of being picked?

I would love to use this - I have two Mods that run our contests - by the looks of this you would need access to the Admin Control Panel to do this - is there a way so I can add this to the Mod CP instead?

Its random when it picks a member.

ChrisBaktis - if you have any PHP experiance then you should be able to, but i won't beable to do this yet as i no longer have my computer setup. It will be a couple of months before i can get back online.
