Adding Comas to user postcounts, threadcounts and forum reply counts

[Platinumgamer]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to add comas to my users' postcounts and to my forums thread and reply counts(IE: 1,000 instead of 1000). I know it's done by filehacking as I was told this over at vB.com, so if someone could help me figure out how this is done, I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks for any help!

I dont know what version you are running but it already exists in my 2.2.6..

You can either upgrade or apply this fix:

edit index.php, find:
$countthreads=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM thread');
after that add:

$numbermembers=number_format($numbersmembers['users']);
$totalposts=number_format($countposts['posts']);
$totalthreads=number_format($countthreads['threads']);


however if your board is too old I dont know if variable names will match.. If not simply replace the names in the template with these:
$numbermembers
$totalposts
$totalthreads

oh sorry I guess I understand you wrongly? Which count in which page did you mean?

[Platinumgamer]

I'm currently running 2.2.9;)

The counts I'm referring to are the Replies and Threads numbers shown on the forumhome and the number of posts a user has(if possible)

Thanks!

Sorry for bumping this, but I really would like this hack if possible...

:o

so do the same thing only to the different variables on the page you want

[Logician]

I guess what you want is this:

edit index.php, find:

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");

Replace it as:

$forum[threadcount]=number_format($forum[threadcount]);
$forum[replycount]=number_format($forum[replycount]);
eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");

Enjoy..
