Maybe somebody has already done it but here is a PHP block for showing who's new on your site:

Text Formatted Code
function phpblock_whos_new()
{
    global $_CONF,$_TABLES;

    // Set the number of new members to show
    $numToShow = 5;

    $result = DB_query("SELECT uid,username,photo FROM {$_TABLES['users']} ORDER BY regdate DESC limit $numToShow");

    $nrows = DB_numRows($result);
    for ($i = 1; $i <= $nrows; $i++) {
        $A = DB_fetchArray($result);
        $retval .= '<a href="' . $_CONF['site_url'] . '/users.php?mode=profile&uid=' . $A['uid'] . '">' . $A['username'] .
 '</a>';
        if (!empty($A['photo']) AND $_CONF['allow_user_photo'] == 1) {
            $retval .= ' <a href="' . $_CONF['site_url'] . '/users.php?mode=profile&uid=' . $A['uid'] . '"><img src="
' . $_CONF['layout_url'] . '/images/smallcamera.gif" border="0"></a>';
        }
        $retval .= '<br>';
    }
    return $retval;
}
 

The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.

Ok, I've tried this block on my site, but something isn't quite right...Where did the come from, in front of the ' ? (Who's New)

You can see it on my site HERE

I'm trying this on my GL server at work as well, only it puts an entire ROW of 's in front of the '! (Who\\\\\'s New)

At work I just changed the name of the block to New Users, but I'd like to know if anyone else is having this problem, and what they have done to fix it.

I'm running geeklog-1.3.5sr2 on a fresh Mandrake Linux 8.2 install at home, and on Mandrake 8.0 at work.

Thanks in advance,

Knightsabre

Yeah, that's a bug in 1.3.5sr2 and should be fixed in 1.3.6rc1. As a workaround, search for this line in public_html/admin/block.php $title = addslashes ($title); and comment it out (add two // in front of it). See if that helps. bye, Dirk

Not sure but there is missing the table gl_users in the sql query.

I've tried the block it's super but works after adding this table.

Tony give us more blocks!!!

This looks good on the Geeklog site. Is it going to be included in 1.3.6? -- Neil Darlow M.Sc.

Yes, I think the query should read ... FROM ORDER BY ... -- Neil Darlow M.Sc.

Great, that's almost what i'm looking for - i'm just curios, does it show users that are in the que of being approved by the moderator? and what field in the table tells me if they are? also, if someone could give me some hints about the correct (SQL) syntax to convert this block into a "last logged in users" by sorting the field "lastlogin" from gl_userinfo i would be very Laughing Out Loud

I tried this using the code above but I get the following error when I load my site:

function phpblock_whos_new() { global $_CONF,$_TABLES; // Set the number of new members to show $numToShow = 5; $result = DB_query("SELECT uid,username,photo FROM {$_TABLES['users']} ORDER BY regdate DESC limit $numToShow"); $nrows = DB_numRows($result); for ($i = 1; $i '; } return $retval; }

Perhaps I am not placing the code in the correct area of the lib-custom.php? I tried it at the beginning, and at the end of the existing code but I still get the message.

Try the FAQ Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by ... , which a search on the error message would have brought up for you.

HTH,

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for the assist, unfortunatly I have been using Crimson Editor and still had the problem. I did figure out the problem though and I will provide the solution here for anyone else that may need it in a future search.

When adding the function to lib-custom.php, enter it at the end of the code but before the last line that reads "?>". I'm not sure if that was mentioned already or if it is considered common knowledge for PHP coders but it fixed my errors regardless.

A minor modification / addition for Geeklog 1.4.0 and up to hide banned users from the block:

Text Formatted Code
$result = DB_query("SELECT uid,username,photo FROM {$_TABLES['users']} WHERE status <> 0 ORDER BY regdate DESC limit $numToShow");

Check the usual: Make sure you've edited the right file, uploaded it again, and that the new code is between the &lt;?php ... ?&gt; tags.

Great work done! I did similar thing in shell scripting for Linux platform. The script actually parsed the shadow and login file data mixed up with some pattern matching awk code to find out who is new. Though I am not concerned with php development, it will be a great help in my company's development department.

:doh:
I have just been informed that this PHP block is not showing up correctly on IE8.
I normally use Firefox all the time, but I have just viewed my page on IE8 and I am seeing a white box with a red cross in it next to the names. I am assuming they should be pictures. No pictures come up on Firefox so I did not know until I was told about it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Lizard.

You may need a /images/smallcamera.gif file in your layout folder.
