Poster cloud

Great block code!
Gonna add this one to my site aswell!

This one still created multiple errors....about 63 pages in 3 hours.  I've had to delete the block.  Thank you for trying to get the code to work without addint the admin or moderators.

What type of errors?

[sburke930]

Array errors; anytime the admin or moderators move about the site.  Usually I got through the error log each night and clear them once I've made sure they are just the normal type of errors, but these were created when going to any board, into personal messages, the arcade, even playing a game created 8 errors per play.

I deleted the error log wtihout making note of what exactly the error was but it was very similar to what was posted on your word cloud thread.

[JPDeni]

Very odd. I don't get any errors at all with the poster cloud. I guess you're right to remove it and if anybody else gets errors, it's best to remove it, too.

[sburke930]

I think because the version I was using omitted admin and moderators.  Thats where all the odd errors were coming from.

[JPDeni]

That's the one I'm using right now, and I'm not getting any errors. However, if you want to test it, take out the line

     WHERE ID_GROUP <> 1 AND ID_GROUP <> 2
Or even go back to the first code in the thread. I'd be interested to know what works.

hey JPDeni, do you think it would be possible to edit this block to display the members website (if the filled it in their profile) instead of their name?
I tried it, but for some reason it's not working properly.
The size of url's (and the url's) are just random it seems.
If you want I can send you the code I already have.

[JPDeni]

This should print out the name with URL and, if there's no URL, just a plain name. The crux of determining whether there's a URL is that the length is greater than 8, since all URLs start with "http://" and have to have at least two letters.

global $db_prefix, $scripturl;
$count= array();
$poster_number = array();
$query = db_query(
    "SELECT posterName, {$db_prefix}messages.ID_MEMBER, ID_GROUP, websiteURL
     FROM {$db_prefix}members
     JOIN {$db_prefix}messages
     ON {$db_prefix}members.ID_MEMBER = {$db_prefix}messages.ID_MEMBER
     WHERE ID_GROUP <> 1 AND ID_GROUP <> 2
     ORDER BY posterTime DESC
     LIMIT 100", __FILE__, __LINE__);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
{
  if (!isset($count[$row['posterName']]))
    $count[$row['posterName']] = 0;
  ++$count[$row['posterName']];
    $poster_number[$row['posterName']] = $row['ID_MEMBER'];
    $poster_site[$row['posterName']] = $row['websiteURL'];
}

$random = array_rand($count, count($count));
echo '<div style="text-align: center">';
foreach ($random as $value)
{
  $fsize = $count[$value] + 7;
  if ($fsize > 20)
    $fsize = 20;
  $name = str_replace(" ",'ÂÃ,·',$value);
  if (strlen($poster_site[$value])> 8)
  {
    echo '<a class="normaltext" href="' . $poster_site[$value] . '">
          <span style="font-size:' . $fsize . 'pt;">' . $name . '</span></a> ';
  }
  else
  }
     echo '<span style="font-size:' . $fsize . 'pt;">' . $name . '</span> ';
  }
}
echo '</div>';

Was not exactly what I was looking for, But now I was able to edit it.
Thanks a lot for the help!
