UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums General Suggestions and Feedback Views

We are currently using classic and are really looking forward to be able to use this new forums.

The classic boards don't have the number of "views" for each thread displayed. If we upgrade to this new version of threads, will all of those same current threads effectively be starting from "0" views (even if they have had many tens of thousands of "views" since they were created) when they get displayed on this new threads?

Thanks

That is correct. If you're a classic user and you had the "views" modification installed it will be daiseyed over (threads users have a views column); if its a clean board and there are no views of record, they will start as 0

If you don't want to have a bunch of 0s for the view column and you weren't using the views modification you could just have each one randomly generated. Something like:

UPDATE ubbt_TOPICS set TOPIC_VIEWS = floor(rand() * 25000) + 1;

Would chose a random number between 1 and 25000 for all of your topics and insert that random number for the starting number of topic views.

Can someone tell me how to implement that count thing in our current classic (v. 6.7.2).

Is it difficult to implement?

Thanks.

The views modification is just that, a modification; upon installing themodification it woudl be at 0 until viewed and incrimented, either way, yo'ud start at 0 unless you used what rick stated for cheating it ...

Additionally, any modifications to your stock code void your warrenty with Infopop/Groupee/MadronaPark/Monkee untile it is restored to stock code.

With all that aside, the modification is at www.ubbdev.com

actually, it defaults to the total number of posts in that topic

you'd know, you helped remake the importer, but you don't seem to post often so I was left grasping for straws

hehe
