Cool, and it's the same code that was posted in the first post?

hi,

I uses only the Code from this Thread.

I don't have made changes because I'm not a coder.......

Cool, just installed. I changed the replacement though.

How did you change that and what did you change it to?

this worked for me on vb 2.2.6

Open showthread.php

Find

$postdone = array();

and ABOVE it put:

// Hack post count and link

$postcount = ($pagenumber - 1 ) * $perpage;

// Hack post count and link end

Find

$postbits .= getpostbit($post);

and ABOVE it put:

// Hack post count and link

$post[postcount] = ++$postcount;

// Hack post count and link end

Save and upload.

Edit template postbit and place the following text where you want the post # to show.

(<a href="showthread.php?postid=$post[postid]#post$post[postid]">Post #$post[postcount]</a>)

its probably been posted before but it may help someone

What does this do? :)

Cool little hack - thanks a lot :)

Great hack, thanks!

How do i reverse the count? :)
Like from Max_num_on_thread to 1 .

I can't for the life of me get this working with 2.2.7. Can anyone please help?

*Bump*

Does working on 2.2.7

Just fellow below code:

The hyperlinks work, but it doesn't show the post number.

weird.. i have no problem of post number

Woohoo got it working... Used X-Fan's instructions and Knux's little pointer on already hacked showthread files. Working on 2.2.7. :)

Congrats :)

THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY VERY BEST HACKS EVER !!!!!

I give 5/5 to this hack.... it is amasing !!!!!

it is a solution to so many problems we had before....

I really thank you thank you thank you

I have installed this hack on a 2.2.7 board.

It all works as stated!

5 Stars :)

So how do I get the post count in the top right hand corner? Like in this thread.

I manage to get it next to the title but thats it.

I'm using 2.2.6 and i cant get this hack to work perfectly...it counts and displays the posts but the link dosent work right...it always goes to the TOP of the page

Posibly a template issue. If you hav ethe #postXX (where XX is the id) in the URL then the hack is working fine, you would have removed code in the default templates this points to.

my forum is 2.2.7 and fine working.
tell what about your problem.. maybe i can helped.

well when i press copy link location i get

http://www.xx.com/showthread.php?postid=98027#post98027

and in my template postbit my coding is:

when someone goes to the link it goes to the TOP of the page and not the targeted post

Did you follow code?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...721#post297721

yah i did and it STILL DONT WORK....in fact using those instructions TAKES away the #

Hmm.. send your showthread.php to me via PM (if possible) than i'll try fixed it for you, ok? (i could test on my test server)

I'm pretty sure this is a template problem and nothing to do with this hack, you should allways go to the correct post using the URL you posted even if you haven't installed this hack.

Do you get returned to the correct post after you reply to a thread?

yes i do

worked like a charm on this end.
good work.

Works for me on 2.2.7 .Thanks :)

How can I get it to do this?

Post# xx of xxx

Thanks!

Good idea!

Everything works fine (The link) , but the post number doesn't show up!
:(

when i installed this thing, i got Post # and thats it, no number after it.

Link works for it, but no number is showing.

BTW i am using vB226

If you installed the stars hack, don't look for this:

$postbits .= getpostbit($post);

Find the other one inside the stars hack code and place the code over that one instead. The numbers will show up this time!

work well on 2.2.8

Rolodex what do u mean? Sorry I am tired and I am not registering what u r saying i guess.

I just installed this, thanks bira and everyone else who added the helpful changes throughout this thread! :glasses:
I'm also interested in having these things mentioned:[list=1][*]posts #s accurate with Order of posts within a thread set to newest first as well [*]show post #xx of xxx posts[/list=1]
Are they in the works?

Da_Gotti,
Did you double check your link? mine shows fine in 2.2.8 using this for the link:

Working great with vBulletin 2.2.8. :)

Is it an impossible thing to make it so if you have your forums threads post order set to 'newest first' in your adminCP, the post count for the newest post will be post# 99 (for example) or whatever it is instead of 1? post# 1 still being the original first post...
What would be the best way to go about trying this?
