Stop showing post count after it gets to a certain number

[oldford]

After someone reaches a certain number of posts (say 2000) I'd like to have their post count just be text. For example instead of showing "post: 2303" it would say "post: too many to count" or something like that.

I think it would just be a conditional statement, but I'm not sure how to write it.

Thanks for any help!

Just a bump after a few weeks.

It should be as simple as searching for $post[posts] in the postbit or postbit_legacy template, and replacing it with<if condition="$post[posts]>=2000">Too many<else />$post[posts]</if>

Excellent! Thanks for the reply.

Do I need to rebuild the post count after making this change? It doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

Hmm, it's because of the thousands separator. They applied it to both of the posts variables that I know of, so you may have to remove it from
Language Manager->Edit Settings->Number Formatting->Thousands Separator
Of course, that would remove it everywhere...

Bumping this thread, because I'm trying to do the same thing, without removing the separator.

I am happy with just displaying "1000 or more" if the user has 1000 or more posts. I figure that you can check for this using strlen($post[posts]) > 3.

Problem is... can I call strlen from a template? It's not allowed within the if conditional itself. Can I call a function somewhere else and have it set a variable? I know PHP but am a bit clueless about how much of it fits into VBulletin templates.

Currently I've hacked a solution as follows:

<if condition="($post[posts]{0}==NULL) || ($post[posts]{1}==NULL) || ($post[posts]{2}==NULL) || ($post[posts]{3}==NULL)">
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
<else />
$vbphrase[posts]: 1000 or more
</if>
