Add commas to replycounts, thread views, etc
 

This "hack" is so simple I'm really surprised nobody's released it here before, or that it's not included in vB2 (though it is done this way in vB3). All this does is add commas to the number of threads & posts in each forum on your index page, and to the number of replies & views on the forum display page. So for a thread that has 1,000 views, it would normally be shown as "1000". This changes it to add the number format and show "1,000" instead. I know this is really simple, but I figured someone might find it useful since it makes those numbers a little easier to read. :)

Thanks alot!
But would a dot (point) perhaps look nicer instead of a comma?
So, if i wanted to do that, is that an easy thing to change?

Best regards,

Aaron

For the moment I wasn't sure if life was worth living anymore, until I found this hack. :p

Well done.

Aaron1 - Yes, that is possible and fairly easy to do. In index.php and the first edit in forumdisplay.php, you would use this code instead:
Then for the 2nd edit in forumdisplay.php, you would use this code instead:
Velocd - Glad something so simple could help to make your life worth living. :p

Thanks!

That is because it has been already provided in many threads in Hack Requests forum, just like many other small and simple ("mini" as Xenon calls them) hacks .. ;)

bah i never visit general hacking forum or request forum

guess imma missing lots of cool mini hacks ;_;

Don't forget the subscribed threads in the usercp. ;)

Hehe for some reason i have this hack installed on my forums and for the life of me i can't remember how, why, when i did it :)

Thanks for releasing to the "Full Releases" browsing community ;) hehe

Thanks for pointing that out Boofo. I just updated the attachment to include instructions for subscribed threads too. :)

And also for post counts, in postbit and member list :D

For post counts in postbit, put this code anywhere in the buildpostbit function in functions.php

$post[posts]=number_format($post[posts]);

And for memberlist post counts:

memberlist.php, find:

$userinfo[datejoined]=vbdate($dateformat,$userinfo[joindate]);

Below it, add:

$userinfo[posts]=number_format($userinfo[posts]);

Done.

Thanks for the hack Tigga :)

Nice addition. :)

Doh! Found another...

To add this to the post counts in a users profile,

In member.php find:

$userinfo[datejoined]=vbdate($dateformat,$userinfo[joindate]);

Below that, add:

$userinfo[posts]=number_format($userinfo[posts]);

Thanks for the "mini-hack", Tigga.

::installs original + everyones add-ons::

Tigga, in your instructions, shouldn't this:

actually be this:

Bofo - No, actually the code you're looking for in those 2 files is useless. The $replies and $views variables aren't used anywhere in the templates, so I'm not sure why the code is even there in the first place (other than the devs forgot to remove it). That's why I figured it best to trade out that code for something a little more useful. ;)

I just checked the templates. You're right. I don't see those anywhere at all. Thanks for clearing that up. ;)

BTW: It's Boofo, not Bofo. ;)

No problem at all. I thought it was kinda strange that the code was in there as well and made sure it wasn't used anywhere first. Maybe they were planning on using the number_format tags at first and forgot about it? Who knows...
Sorry about the typo in your name. Guess I was typing a little too fast. ;)

I would tend to believe it is just forgotten code. ;)

BTW: Did you get the pm I sent you?

Splendid. Much more professional looking. :-)
