$totalposts coding!
 

Hi All

Dont know if anyone can help me what PHP code would i use to say countdown to x amount of posts

say you are reaching 1 million posts

you want to subtract this figure to $totalposts

any idea how one would code this?!?!?

Thanks

I'm a bit confused... Are you trying to make a variable that shows the total amount of forum posts on the forumhome? If so, search these forums for global variables (i remember finding one by Ziki).

Nah Basically trying to do a countdown

our forum is approaching 2million posts

so on forum home i want to write text like

"Number of posts till 2 million - (shows the figure here)

so im thinking along the lines of $totalposts which is the variable for showing how many posts a forum has at the moment and get the figure and subtract it by 2million :)

hoep tha tmakes sense!

Create a new plugin at hook location "forumhome_complete" with the following:
Now place $remaining wherever you'd like the remaining posts displayed on the FORUMHOME template.

ie: There are $remaining posts remaining to our goal of 2,000,000.

$totalposts is formatted, so use this instead of Kirk's code.

I almost just disputed that str_replace saying you didn't define anything. I'm retarded.

..also the seperator might not be a comma. It will depend on how your numbers are formatted.

With this, is there a way to put the comma back in?? (using Dismounted method)

My numbers are being outputted as 100000 vice 100,000

So something like:

But how would that format the output of

I see where I can change the format of the total posts, but when using that count down code, it seems to strip the thousand separator..

ok I got it..

I just had to add another line..

So I used two $remaining1 and remaining....
