Disable Post Count Decrease Per Forum

Disable Post Count Decrease Per Forum :)

Description:
- This hack allows you to control whether or not users' post counts will decrease when you delete posts or threads from selected forums.

Inspiration:
- It was originally requested here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=140715) & KOKS@LN actually did it fairly well with his original version of this hack here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=106620). However this not only needed to be ported to a plugin version, but also only have users post counts decreased on a per forum basis rather than global. :rolleyes:

Features:

AdminCP Per Forum Control


Installation:
1.) Upload Product
2.) Do File Edits
3.) Enjoy Release

Important Notes:
- Please be aware that this hack does involve file edits. It actually is THE ONLY WAY to do this hack unfortunetly. I have tested it pretty thoroughly, and it should work, but use at your own risk. Always backup your files!

I hope everyone's enjoyed the many hacks I've released lately! Premium Hacks

Does this stop the total forum post count from decreasing as well?

no it does not

[blockbusted]

Drats! Oh well, nice mod anyway :up:

[Stifmeister2]

Thanks man. :)

Do we need to do all sub forums manually also?
Or does it work by doing it only on a parent forum?

[Puntal]

It's a pain when you have a lot of forums like me to use this option on all of them.
Cause you have to do each individualy.
Instead of having it "YES" as default,can we not change it to "NO" and then change just what forums you want?It would be a lot easier.I have been changing my forums for at least 2 hours.........and still have a lot to go......

[paul41598]

its not tested on 3.6.5, so anythings possible

[BulletNow]

Will you be testing it on 3.6.5?

[paul41598]

nop

[BulletNow]

The Mod still does work. Is there anyway I could stop this email I keep getting then?

[Dylan Leblanc]

Thanks for this mod, I have installed it.

vBulletin should make the user's post count a reflection of the their historical post count, including all posts that have been deleted, not a reflection of how many of their posts remain in the database. I keep my forum pruned keep only threads with replies within the past three months so this is constantly affecting users post counts, making the post counts almost useless as an indicator of how much a person has posted. This mod solves this problem though. Thank you.

[BulletNow]

If I remove this Add-On. Will anyone loose there post count?

Ive been getting the below error forever and I wish I could get it corrected.

for anyone using this I have worked it out if you use one touch clean and ban it clashes with this mod its the edit in the includes/functions_databuild.php for this mod to work that causes the problem

I found this on here and tried it this seems to work with one touch clean and ban installed
