Deaths Aprentice

There should be more stuff like this...God really needs to start cutting in the earths population :/

No problem .I have a very advanced version of this for vBulletin, maybe I'll code an advanced one for IPB some day...

Hello everyone, I created this mod a long time ago, back when i was till running an IPB. I've been running vB for a long time now, and forgot about this hack. Now, I've just found it here on my system, so i thought I'd share it . This hack was made for IPB version 1.2, I have not tested it on any other versions. However, I'm quite sure it will work on newer versions aswell. Ok, lets start. Download the required files here. Description of Mod: Show a bar in the topic and at the Memberlist 100% means a users has visit your board every day 0% means a user didn't visit your board yet (but he/she did sign up) Upload all direcories to the root of your forum Upload trap17_ipbmod.php to the place where index.php is and run it. Open sources\functions.php Find if (!$this->member['last_visit']) { // No last visit set, do so now! Add Above // activity mod | xgnews.tk $date_now = getdate($this->time_now);$date_last = getdate($this->member['last_activity']); if($date_now['year']!=$date_last['year'] or $date_now['mon']!=$date_last['mon'] or $date_now['mday'] != $date_last['mday']) { $DB->query("UPDATE trap17_ipbmembers SET activity=activity+1 WHERE id='".$this->member['id']."'"); } // activity mod | xgnews.tk Close & Save Open sources\Topics.php Find m.warn_level, m.warn_lastwarn, Add Directly After m.last_activity,m.activity, Find if ($row['author_id'] != 0) { Add Above $d_t=getdate(time());$d_m=getdate($row['joined']); $numofdays=(mktime(0,0,0,$d_t['mon'],$d_t['mday'],$d_t['year'])-mktime(0,0,0,$d_m['mon'],$d_m['mday'],$d_m['year']))/(24*60*60); $numofdays=round($numofdays);$activ=100; if($numofdays!=0) $activ = floor(100*($row['activity']/$numofdays)); if($activ >100) $activ=100; $row['acti']= "$activ% of max. days online"; $row['actip']= ($activ-1)."%"; Close & Save Open skin\s*\skin_topic.php Find {$author['member_joined']}<br /> Add Directly After {$author['acti']}<br /> <table width="100" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td> <img src="html/bar/bxg.gif" width="{$author['actip']}" height="9" alt='bar' /><img src="html/bar/bxb.gif" width="1" height="9" alt='bar' /> </td></tr></table> Close & Save Open sources\Memberlist.php Find , me.photo_dimensions Add Directly After , m.activity Find $member['joined'] = $std->get_date( $member['joined'], 'JOINED' ); Add Above // activity mod | xgnews.tk $d_t=getdate(time());$d_m=getdate($member['joined']); $numofdays=(mktime(0,0,0,$d_t['mon'],$d_t['mday'],$d_t['year'])-mktime(0,0,0,$d_m['mon'],$d_m['mday'],$d_m['year']))/(24*60*60); $numofdays=round($numofdays); $activ=100; if($numofdays!=0) $activ = floor(100*($member['activity']/$numofdays)); if($activ >100) $activ=100; $member['acti']= "$activ%"; // activity mod | xgnews.tk Close & Save Open skin\s*\skin_mlist.php Find <th class='pformstrip' align="center" width="10%">{$ibforums->lang['member_group']}</th> Add Below <th class='pformstrip' align="center" width="5%">{$ibforums->lang['member_activ']}</th> Find <td class='row2' align="center" width="20%">{$member['group']}</td> Add Below <td class='row4' align="center" width="10%">{$member['acti']}</td> Find colspan="9" Replace with colspan="10" Find colspan="9" Replace with colspan="10" Find colspan="9" Replace with colspan="10" Close & Save Open lang\en\lang_mlist.php Find ); ?> Add Above member_activ => "Activity", Close & Save Open sources\Profile.php Find $info['joined'] = $std->get_date( $member['joined'], 'JOINED' ); Add below // activity mod | xgnews.tk $d_t=getdate(time());$d_m=getdate($member['joined']); $numofdays=(mktime(0,0,0,$d_t['mon'],$d_t['mday'],$d_t['year'])-mktime(0,0,0,$d_m['mon'],$d_m['mday'],$d_m['year']))/(24*60*60); $numofdays=round($numofdays); $activ=100; if($numofdays!=0) $activ = floor(100*($member['activity']/$numofdays)); if($activ >100) $activ=100; $info['acti']= "$activ%"; // activity mod | xgnews.tk Close & Save Open Skin\s*\skin_profile.php Find <tr> <td class="row3" valign='top'><b>{$ibforums->lang['joined']}</b></td> <td align='left' class='row1'><b>{$info['joined']}</b></td> </tr> Add below <tr> <td class="row3" valign='top'><b>{$ibforums->lang['act_mdo']}</b></td> <td align='left' class='row1' width="90%"><img src="html/bar/bxg.gif" width="{$info['acti']}" height="9" alt='bar' /><img src="html/bar/bxb.gif" width="1" height="9" alt='bar' /> {$info['acti']} </td> </tr> Close & Save Open lang\en\lang_profile.php Find ); ?> Add Above "act_mdo" => "max. days online", Close & Save Now re-upload all the files, and you're done!

I knew they reserved 20% bandwith, but I didn't know how to get it back

My changes are in bold, some of them are not really needed, but this way it's better EDIT: Heh, sorry, thought there was only 1 page ^.^, didn't see the other replys. PS Have you been trying out with this script, is MySQL down because of this xD?

Sometimes it can be an accident .

PHP is indeed harder to learn.The basics are easy though, but it gets harder once you want better programs.But, once you know PHP, it's the best scripting language, if you ask me.(Partly because it doesn't take up that much resources )

Paid hosting indeed doesn't have quite as many downtimes, because they don't have noobs playing around with faulty MySQL commands...

Lol? In Christmas holliday I've expierenced downtimes of over 2 hours. To make this clear: Your Cpanel gets the MySQL data from the MySQL server. If this is shut down, or not working for one reason or another, Cpanel cannot get the data from the MySQL server. It will look like there are no MySQL databases, but actually the server is just not functioning correctly.

Same here, lol

Tested them, here's what I've found so far:Config like PHPBB, plain and easy (I don't like it).The skin creater thing, is almost the same as with PHPBB, but with a visual example of what you're creating. (I like it, but I prefer creating my own skins using .xml).Setting moderators for forums is very unclear, and annoying.For the rest it's kinda like PHPBB, but then a little more advanced.Not worth the money if you ask me, you could get praticly the same by modifying a PHPBB board :\

WoWBB looks very nice, I've subscribed for the trial .I'll let you guys know once I've got the trial, and tested it

Heh, nice one .It's a very simple, yet usefull program

Isn't UPLOADING the illegal part, not downloading?

With the right portal software, and a nice skin, vB looks very proffesional .A free vB download used to be at my forum, but I removed it a while back, heh.

PHPBB sucks, once you tried vB . IPB is stable, because it is harder to modify. vB is easy to modify, and mistakes just aren't parsed.(e.g. you added a wrong piece of code in the templates, so it won't show up). Once you them install another hack, which then uses that code, your system will not perform at its maximum. IPB is used most, because it's the cheapest compared to vB. I never tried simple machines, so I can't judge that one. vBulletin is used by 2 groups: 1. Big rich companies, who can afford the yearly license cost/the high buying price. 2. People who like coding, and like coding hacks. If you want, you can go to vbulletin.org, find a hack you wanna see, then use this site to download it.

I totally agree.Kids do realise it's illegal, but they don't care, because they don't get in trouble.Most of those kids, are teenagers, and teenagers don't want to see something they don't like, untill it is thrown in their face.There is no way to stop this, other than lowering the prices.

Heh, there is a difference between installing hacks and coding them .Editing templates in vBulletin, and installing hacks, is extremely easy.Coding them, is harder. Still, coding hacks for vBulletin is easyer than coding them for IPB, but harder than coding for PHPBB.PHPBB has more limits though.vBulletin also has a big hack writing helpfull community, and if you would really need help (screwed up while upgrading or something), someone can help you out for ~10 $ !People like me (vBulletin hack coder) aren't rare at all, so you will find lots of help at the vbulletin.org forums . (vb.org is the vbulletin hack community)

Do remember though, that GET and POST commands are a potential security risk.Those allow MySQL injects, which isn't a very nice thing.

I myself use vBulletin.I used to have an invisionfree forum, when i started my community.I didn't like the options you got, there were just too few.So, soon I got myself a very bad free host, and hosted a PHPBB board on it.Then, I found Xisto, got myself some posts and uploaded that same PHPBB Board.While scrolling around in the Cpanel, I found the IPB installer.I always wanted an IPB Board, so I installed that right away.After that, I was thinking of getting a professional host, and made some polls at some forums to ask which forum was best.Many people then sayd that vBulletin was the best, so I tried the online demo.I was instaltly amazed by its many options, it's oh-so flexible template system, and it's huge range of hacks!I went on with my research, and found that vBulletin was one of the best boards to install hacks on.(one of my hobies).I then bought vBulletin, and uploaded it to my Xisto account.Now, I'm still using that same vBulletin board, on that same Xisto account .If you have a lot of free time, and you're good with vBulletin, you can even make a lot of money by coding hacks for other companies! (something I do now).

40 here.I'm soon buying a new PC which will have 80, though.I seriously don't need any more...Seriously, what would you do with 1000 gigs?

This sucks, bad :S. Soon I'm going to actually have to buy my music . And DVD's, and games, and all my other warez, heh. I don't think the FBI can stop it all though, it's waaay to big for that

Looks very nice .How many e-mails will it send a day though?And what was the 20 cents a day based on?I didn't quite get your answer to that question...Nevertheless, I'm certainly gonna try this one .Ideal for the lazy people like me

AMD all the way!Really, AMD is far better than Intell.I voted AMD 64, I'm using a 2.2 ghz one now, but when I buy my new PC (which will be pretty soon) I will buy an AMD Athlon 3500+ 939 socket, that one rules .Many of my friends have AMD, so it's not only me saying it's great .EDIT: Lol, Corey I'm planning on buying the same one .Funny how small the processor world is

Thanks for the replys everyone!alperuzi: It looks expensive because you can get the same model but with a 754 socket for 2/3 of the price ;DT100: I really only need 80 GB, I'm now using 40 GB and that's no problem :PA 9800 Pro costs a nice 230 euro, so I don't think I'll buy it... for now.I'll save up for it after I bought this one, heh.
