MC Sidebar top users code two

Lets try that again;

In index.php, add the following code;

$user = new User;

$select = "SELECT user_id, COUNT(*) as count ";

$from_where = " FROM " . table_comments . ", " . table_users . " WHERE comment_user_id=user_id GROUP BY comment_user_id";

$order_by = " ORDER BY count DESC ";

$rows = $db->get_var("select COUNT(*) as count $from_where $order_by");

$users = $db->get_results("$select $from_where $order_by LIMIT 0, 5");

$users_table = '';

if ($users) {

foreach($users as $dbuser) {

$user->id=$dbuser->user_id;

$user->user_read();

$user->all_stats();

$main_smarty->assign('user_userlink', getmyurl("user", $user->username));

$main_smarty->assign('user_avatar', get_avatar('large', "", $user->username, $user->email));

//function get_avatar($size = "large", $avatarsource, $user_name = "", $user_email = "", $user_id=""){

$users_table .= $main_smarty->fetch(The_Template . "/topusers_data.tpl");

}

}

$main_smarty->assign('users_table', $users_table);

In the file templates/oioioi/topusers_data.tpl reduce the code to;

[tr]

[td][a href="{$user_userlink}"][img src="{$user_avatar}" align="absmiddle" /][/a][/td]

[/tr]

Finally in templates/oioioi/sidebar2.tpl add the following code;

[div class="links"]

[/div]

[div class="headline"]

[div class="sectiontitle"]Most Commented Users[/div]

[/div]

[div class="aboutcontent"]

{$users_table}

[/div]

[div class="links"]

[/div]

This may need further modification in order to fully incorporate CSS

MC Sidebar top users code

This code adds the top five users to the sidebar.

In index.php, add the following code;

$user = new User;

$select = "SELECT user_id, COUNT(*) as count ";

$from_where = " FROM " . table_comments . ", " . table_users . " WHERE comment_user_id=user_id GROUP BY comment_user_id";

$order_by = " ORDER BY count DESC ";

$rows = $db->get_var("select COUNT(*) as count $from_where $order_by");

$users = $db->get_results("$select $from_where $order_by LIMIT 0, 5");

$users_table = '';

if ($users) {

foreach($users as $dbuser) {

$user->id=$dbuser->user_id;

$user->user_read();

$user->all_stats();

$main_smarty->assign('user_userlink', getmyurl("user", $user->username));

$main_smarty->assign('user_avatar', get_avatar('large', "", $user->username, $user->email));

//function get_avatar($size = "large", $avatarsource, $user_name = "", $user_email = "", $user_id=""){

$users_table .= $main_smarty->fetch(The_Template . "/topusers_data.tpl");

}

}

$main_smarty->assign('users_table', $users_table);

In the file templates/oioioi/topusers_data.tpl reduce the code to;

Finally in templates/oioioi/sidebar2.tpl add the following code;

Most Commented Users

{$users_table}

This may need further modification in order to fully incorporate CSS

The previous version of the code only seemed to work on my local machine. I am unsure why, but this new code has been checked and confirmed on several machines, and hence should be the final version.

In index.php replace/add the code with

jct - redirect after submission fix

OK, found submit.php with all of the main non-template driven submission actions.

In the third step, I changed the redirect location from

header("Location: " . getmyurl('upcoming'));
to

header("Location: " .getmyurl('index'));

Which seems to be working fine now. Or at least it's taking me to the error home page, so I'm pretty sure it is...

Adding top users to bottom of page

Once we've sorted all the bugs, this site might help us add in the top users to tht bottom of the page.

MC Fixing the front page issue with differing number of front page stories

The problem with this was that the index.php file did only a single search, an then as the information recovered here worked it's way through the other files, my added code split it up between the two categories.

The problem with this is that if all eight latest stories are only News, then no Opinion stories show up on the front page. To solve this, I had to establish two separate searches, which started off being split by category.

Fortunately, the GET[category] code already existed to do this, so it was possible to adapt this code to create a search of only one category. The difficulty was how, but fortunately, after chaining a hundred monkeys to a hundred computers, I lucked out on a way of doing this without major changes.

Emphisis should be placed on the fact that this hasn't been fully tested yet; my local copy only has four stories at the moment, so I am unsure how it will effect multiple copies.

Anyway, here are the changes.
