Topic: 'last_poster' to use 'realname'

Currently the 'last_poster' field for both forums and topics is populated with the username. 

Can can someone help me find the line I need to change to make this pull the 'realname' field (if present)?

Re: 'last_poster' to use 'realname'

Here's the modification for the index; I'll post back with a modification for the topic listings when I'm finshied.

Open index.php, find:

    // If there is a last_post/last_poster.
    if ($cur_forum['last_post'] != '')
        $last_post = '<a href="viewtopic.php?pid='.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'#p'.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'">'.format_time($cur_forum['last_post']).'</a> <span class="byuser">'.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_forum['last_poster']).'</span>';
    else
        $last_post = ' ';

Replace with:

    // If there is a last_post/last_poster.
    if ($cur_forum['last_post'] != '') {
        $result = $db->query('SELECT realname FROM '.$db->prefix.'users WHERE username = \''.$cur_forum['last_poster'].'\'') or error('Unable to fetch last poster real name', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
        while ($row = $db->fetch_assoc($result) AND  $db->num_rows($result) != 0)
        {
            $last_poster_realname = $row['realname'];
        }
        if (isset($last_poster_realname))
            $cur_forum['last_poster'] = $last_poster_realname;
        $last_post = '<a href="viewtopic.php?pid='.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'#p'.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'">'.format_time($cur_forum['last_post']).'</a> <span class="byuser">'.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_forum['last_poster']).'</span>';
    }
    else
        $last_post = ' ';

Re: 'last_poster' to use 'realname'

Okay, here's the forum view mod:

Open viewforum.php, find:

        if ($cur_topic['moved_to'] == null)
            $last_post = '<a href="viewtopic.php?pid='.$cur_topic['last_post_id'].'#p'.$cur_topic['last_post_id'].'">'.format_time($cur_topic['last_post']).'</a> <span class="byuser">'.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['last_poster']).'</span>';
        else
            $last_post = ' ';

Replace with:

        if ($cur_topic['moved_to'] == null)
        {
            $result = $db->query('SELECT realname FROM '.$db->prefix.'users WHERE username = \''.$cur_topic['last_poster'].'\'') or error('Unable to fetch last poster real name', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
            while ($row = $db->fetch_assoc($result) AND  $db->num_rows($result) != 0)
            {
                $last_poster_realname = $row['realname'];
            }
            if (isset($last_poster_realname))
                $cur_topic['last_poster'] = $last_poster_realname;
            $last_post = '<a href="viewtopic.php?pid='.$cur_topic['last_post_id'].'#p'.$cur_topic['last_post_id'].'">'.format_time($cur_topic['last_post']).'</a> <span class="byuser">'.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['last_poster']).'</span>';
        }
        else
            $last_post = ' ';

Re: 'last_poster' to use 'realname'

Thanks for your input pogenwurst... but when I make these modifications all my topics dissapear.  I don't know enough to know why thats happeneing.  when I restore the original version everything comes back.

No, I don't know why. I tried these myself and they worked flawlessly for me.

Can you mod the files again, and if they still don't work, paste their contents here?

Re: 'last_poster' to use 'realname'

I've installed all kinds of mods, so it doesn't surprise me that it doesn't play nice.  If you get a chance can you check this out and let me know if you find why that mod wouldn't work.

I really do appreciate the help.

Here is my index.php

Re: 'last_poster' to use 'realname'

Thanks again for your help..  it's still doing the same thing.  It just shows the first forum (and the first topic) and thats it...

no idea why.

Thanks anyway for your help.

Re: 'last_poster' to use 'realname'

Add this at the top of each of those two pages after the opening <?php tag and see if an error message appears:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'on');

I can't figure out why it wouldn't work for you, like I said, it works for me.

Re: 'last_poster' to use 'realname'

nope...  no error messages.

for what is't worth, the one topic that does show up is, in fact, displaying the realname rather then username.

I hope I can look into it further later today, but unfortunately this is about as far as my PHP/SQL knowledge currently goes. If someone more knowledgable could chime in, it would be appreciated.

Re: 'last_poster' to use 'realname'

I had the same phenomen when making the attachment mod ... I think it's the query cache ... disabling it will affect performance ... but otoh it might work ... (or just mod the query to suit your needs)

either way, you can easily check it by changing true to false at the end of the queries ...

these kind of queries:

// Print the categories and forums
$result = $db->query('SELECT c.id AS cid, ****REMOVED STUFF**** f.disp_position', true) or error('Unable to fetch category/forum list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

Re: 'last_poster' to use 'realname'

Thanks Frank.  I gave it a go with the query you mentioned set to false and had the same result. 

I only did it to the line that you show in your post.  Is there more places where I should make the edit?

Re: 'last_poster' to use 'realname'

I've been messing with this a little more tonight, and I just can't seem to get any results.  I am not very good with PHP so I'm really just shooting in the dark. 

What I'm afraid of is that I've used enough mods and such that my board won't respond right to things like this.

If one of you has any time at all to look into this effort to store real name rather then username I would appreciate it.

Thank you again for your help.

Re: 'last_poster' to use 'realname'

This seems to work...

In post.php I change:

    // If the user is logged in we get the username and e-mail from $pun_user
    if (!$pun_user['is_guest'])
    {
        $username = $pun_user['username'];
        $email = $pun_user['email'];
    }

to

    // If the user is logged in we get the username and e-mail from $pun_user
    if (!$pun_user['is_guest'])
    {
        $username = $pun_user['realname'];
        $email = $pun_user['email'];
    }

Did I mess something else up?
