How can i display a list of new users on the login screen
How can i display a list of new users on the login screen? I don't want a link, but i want to create a small table that says newest members and has a list with each of the new members, with each name being a link to their listing.

You've already got the "what's new" mod, right?

Instead of having the "what's new" link, add the following to sub html_home:

Code:
$in{'Date-gt'} = $new;
my ($status, @hits) = &query("view");
if ($status eq "ok") {
my ($numhits) = ($#hits+1) / ($#db_cols+1);
my ($maxhits); $in{'mh'} ? ($maxhits = $in{'mh'}) : ($maxhits = $db_max_hits);
print "These are the newest members:<P>";
for (0 .. $numhits - 1) {
%rec = &array_to_hash($_, @hits);
print qq|<a href="$db_script_link_url&$db_key=$rec{$db_key)&ww=1&view_records=1">$rec{'Name'}</a><br>|;
}
}

Be sure to change any of the text in bold above to match fields in your database.

There is a syntax error.

You have:

Code:
print qq|
<a href="$db_script_link_url&$db_key=$rec{$db_key)&ww=1&view_records=1">$rec{'Name'}</a><br>|;

It should be
print qq|
<a href="$db_script_link_url&$db_key=$rec{$db_key}&ww=1&view_records=1">$rec{'Name'}</a><br>|;

nels, I need to know exactly what you want before I can tell you how to get it.

The mod we're talking about here shows the most recent records added to the database, which may or may be the same as the most recent users.

I can give you the code for a link that will give you a list of all the new records that were added. If that is the same as the new users that were registered, then you can have what you want.

There's a modification at

http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/whatsnew.txt

that will give you the most recent records.

There are two parts to the modification. Try the first one first. If you are not getting the correct date, then use the second one.

nels,

Why not add the codes into the admin_display sub-routine? That would allow you to see the information by clicking on the Admin Menu link. Just a suggestion.
