We have a forum that needs to remain on topic. I do a lot of thread splitting to move posts to our off topic forum. It can be a real pain sometimes. I've had Bira's post count in threads hack installed since last July. I realized I needed something similar for splitting threads. I did some tinkering using the concept from Bira's hack and came up with this mini hack. It's been working for a while, so I thought I would release it in case somebody else would find it handy. Intstructions attached.

I added a direct link to the post count so you can open the original thread in it's own window for comparison.

I'm confused: is this hack the addition of the post # on the split thread view? IE: "Post #1," "Post #2," et cetera?

Yes, it's tiny, but it's something I needed. :)

can anyone get this to work in 2.2.6?

PHP Code:


		
			
  $counter=0;

  $postbits = '';

  $countposts = 0;

  while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts)) {

    if (++$counter%2==0) {

      $post[backcolor]="{firstaltcolor}";

      $post[bgclass] = "alt1";

      $countposts = $countposts+1;

    } else {

      $post[backcolor]="{secondaltcolor}";

      $post[bgclass] = "alt2";

      $countposts = $countposts+1;

    }

It does work in 2.2.6. Did you edit the threads_splitthreadbit template?

i'm really sorry to have to say that, but, you don't need to hack any file to achieve this effect.

it's just a simple template edit

open you template threads_splitthreadbit
and add
<br><b>Post # $counter</b>

after that: <input type="radio" name="splitpost[$post[postid]]" value="no" checked> No

so this is what ya want, no file modification is needed, and this thread could be moved to template modifications....
sory for decreasing your hack-counter ;)
