How To: Show latest signup on homepage

[chuckroast]

Here is a simple way to display the last person to signup on the home page.

Example: Welcome to our latest member Scooby7

(see screen shot below)

First open index.php and find

// sidebar
$main_smarty = do_sidebar($main_smarty);

Directly after that add this.

// last person to register
$sql = "SELECT user_login FROM " . table_users . " ORDER BY user_id DESC LIMIT 1";
$last_user = $db->get_var($sql);
$main_smarty->assign('last_user', $last_user);

Save and upload it back to your server.

Now go into your template folder and open index_center.tpl
Locate the following. It should be right at the top.

{config_load file="/libs/lang.conf"}

Directly after that add this line

<p align="right">Welcome to our latest member <a href="{$URL_user, $last_user}">{$last_user}</a></p>

Save and upload back to your server.

That's it, all finished.

You may need to change it to get it to work.

For me, my user table is not table_users, but pligg_users

so I needed to change that for it to work.

Otherwise it's now working great on my site!
