 How can I catch a variable from member.php? I would like to write a conditional function based on the number of Events, Groups or Ads created by that member. Let's say you if you created more than 0 event, then you will see something or get redirected to somewhere etc. I am not sure what the correct syntax format for catching those Custom section numbers at member.php Anyone did something similar or knows how? |
It's not so much that it's in member.php (since it's not) but rather it's in the DB. You can use the Groups in D6 as an example (Because I have a D6 DB open) functin NumberOfGroupsCreated....
FROM Groups WHERE creatorID = MemberID....
Then run an if command...
if creatorID COUNT >= 3 (for example)
then do this,
else do this.
No, I didn't right it all out as you can obviously tell, but it gives you a starting point |
Thank you for the pointers mydatery. I am actually trying to prevent another hit to database since the data is already pulled once in order to show up on member.php (account control)view as "Custom" statistics.

You can try checking the member.php and all the files that it pulls and see if this COUNT is already pulled, if it is then just write the function utilizing it, sorta like a function inside a function more or less. But I think your going to find that it's not already pulled. All to often the CreatorID is not pulled on most stuff unless actually entering the Group, Event and so on to help with moderation control, which is what you said your looking for. I'd say just start checking the files, but keep in mind you will probably need to write this one out. And yes, I know you know how to write out & echo a function. Good luck |
