| Summary | 2863: Chat archive PT posts count towards points | ||||
| Description | When sending chat messages, they create a post in the archives in private topics. Because private topic posts count towards points, that means so do chat archive posts. This means instead of users getting points for chat message, they're getting points for chat message AND a post. | ||||

cns_make_post($topic_id, $is_starter ? do_lang('INSTANT_MESSAGING_CONVO') : '', $message, 0, $is_starter, 1, 0, null, null, null, get_member(), null, null, null, false, true, null, false, '', 0, null, false, true); Found in sources/chat.php line 957. POSSIBLE Fix (untested): cns_make_post($topic_id, $is_starter ? do_lang('INSTANT_MESSAGING_CONVO') : '', $message, 0, $is_starter, 1, 0, null, null, null, get_member(), $members[0] === get_member() ? $members[1] : $members[0], null, null, false, true, null, false, '', 0, null, false, true); What this does is set an intended_solely_for value to the ID of the user the message is being sent to, which is not counted towards post points when set. ___ EDIT: I was wrong. This does NOT work. |

Better fix, though not entirely practical: in the cns_force_update_member_post_count function of sources/cns_posts_action.php, find: $map = array('p_poster' => $member_id, 'p_cache_forum_id' => null); if (addon_installed('unvalidated')) { $map['p_validated'] = 1; } $member_post_count += $GLOBALS['FORUM_DB']->query_select_value('f_posts', 'COUNT(*)', $map); Comment out: $member_post_count += $GLOBALS['FORUM_DB']->query_select_value('f_posts', 'COUNT(*)', $map); This will cause caching to not count private topic posts towards a member's post count. That's the unfortunate consequence of this fudge, but at least it stops counting private topic posts towards points, especially when it comes to chat archive posts. |

I noticed wherever in the Composr code exists a cns_force_update_member_post_count call with the second parameter specified ($member_post_count_dif), it is always within the condition that a forum ID exists. So it looks like the intention was not for private topic posts to count. However, cache counts them. I could be wrong though. |
|
|
I tracked the code, and tested carefully, and I think the base assumption is wrong - I can't see the problem occurring. I tested manually making a PT, doing an IM, and in both cases the post count remained the same. The point calculation was correct. I cleared the topic cache and same result. As your final post pointed out, the post count is only calculated for non-private topics. |

Ok, I stand corrected - I reproduced incorrectly. It was related to the cache rebuild process only though. |
