phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

Well,

I just tested this on a fresh phpBB 2.0.17 (latest) install and it seems to work fine.

All I can suggest is that you use clean files (assuming you have no mods, which incidently, may be the cause of the problem) and follow the instructions carefully.

Nope. That would be a MOD for a MOD!

This freeze mod only works one way. If the users places a post the postcount isn't increased, but if you remove a post the postcount will well decrease. How can I stop this behavour. Indeed you are correct. If an entire topic is removed and a user who has posted in that topic has had their postcoun...

Thanks!
My apologies for the (very) late reply! I had topic notification on, honest!

I guess you have figured out for yourself now, but for the benefit of others, when you unfreeze, the count starts from where it was frozen.

Apologies for the late reply.

Did you run the setup script first? You should have uploaded the included 'freeze_posts_update.php' file to your phpBB root directory and executed it.

Also, If anyone tried to e-mail me about the MOD lately, then re-send it because my mail server has been down.

This MOD prevents phpBB from updating the database ('user_posts' in the users table) when a user makes a post/post is deleted etc. Essentially this means the display of the users post count on the forum will remain "frozen", and stay the same until they are unfrozen again from the admin cp...

Thanks, glad you like it, hope it will get added to MOD Dbase soon

Yeah thats why I was wondering and said (above) thats I wasnt shure on the phpbb_users bit, as it could be something different depending on what the user puts.

Perhaps I should make an install file

Ok I was wondering if this is correct for putting into my MOD Template: # #-----[ SQL ]------------------------------------------ # ALTER TABLE phpbb_users ADD user_posts_frozen TINYINT(1) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL AFTER user_posts I wasn't sure about the phpbb_users part. Also, what is the best way of g...

Making one for you right now . Should be done by tomorrow.
