Well with a little time on my hands I added something that you probably never would have noticed:

Commas,,,,,,,,,,,,

to some of the numbers on the board.

So far, I have added them to the Board Statistics section, the Topics column, and the Replies column of the main board view.

Also, to the Replies and Views columns of the Forum View.

For anyone interested in programming in Perl, this is an example of some of the code:

Quote

Â Â sub comma_me {
Â local $_ = shift;
Â 1 while s/^(-?\d+)(\d{3})/$1,$2/;
Â return $_;
Â Â };
Â
Â Â $Data->{'TOPIC_POSTS'} = comma_me($Data->{'TOPIC_POSTS'});

Basically every number on this board either comes from a database field, which doesn't save numbers with commas or is a result of a computation of numbers in more than one field in the database. The hacks convert the results to show commas in any given location. I converted a few more numbers over, like in the topic view post count, memberlist post count, and most of the numbers in the statistics page. I just have a few more to convert over.

Now the numbers from the board that show on my main home page are a completely different story. :eek

That is an SHTML page so this hack wouldn't work there.

The board generates text files for certain stats and the text files are imported into the SHTML page through SSI (Side Server Includes).

Perl!

It literally is a different language isn't it. :eek

I sort of feel lost on the hardcore perl sites. I only comprehend around 20% of what I read there, but I'm improving. I somehow managed to get an "A" in Perl Programming a couple semesters ago though.

At least you understood 20% :banghead

Unless they have "Perl for Dummies" I'd say a course in it would be mandatory!. :eek

Here's another great source for Perl: Perl Cookbook. :good

My project last night was modifying this line on the main board view:

"5 guests, 4 members and 0 anonymous members"

If any of the categories show "1" the "s" (plurality) in the group names will be dropped. For example the new line will read:

"5 guests, 1 member and 0 anonymous members"

or

"5 guests, 4 members and 1 anonymous member"

You're welcome.

Here's another mod I just did in the last few minutes.

The old format was:

2 member(s) are browsing this topic
Â Â Â Â >Havasu Doug >BHH

or

1 member(s) are browsing this topic
Â Â Â Â Â Â >Havasu Doug

or

Nothing in the field if no members browsing.

The new format takes the # of members into consideration and prints the words accordingly:

2 members are browsing this topic
Â Â Â >Havasu Doug >BHH Â

or

1 member is browsing this topic
Â Â Â Â >Havasu Doug

or

No members are browsing this topic

Once school starts up again, I'll have to knock this crap off. :rotflmao

With Jeff online at work now, I don't want him to catch me lurking when I should be working---hey that rhymes.

Just changed on the main board view:

User(s) active in this forum : 1

has been changed to:

1 user active in this forum

or

2 users active in this forum

etc, the board tests for plurality to clean up the verbiage now. Â
