Nice hack, installed and working : http://www.steven-seagal.net/forum/ :)

thx clicked install

Is there a way to add the vb_number_format for numbers over 999?

Installed. ^^

One question, where would I go to edit that number to, let's say, change it to "(X Users)"? Thanks again!

@Boofo
That's not that easy, as the Text is hardcoded into stylecache.
If you use only one Thoustand Separator it will work fine if you just use vb_number_format(), but if you have several languages you will run into Problems.
To solv this you would have to remove the line that modifies the Title, cycle through the Chache upon each pageload and add the formatted Number there - but that adds some Overhead.
Or you can hack the function that buils the stylechooser - that would work without much Overhead, but has the drawback of requiring Fileedits.

@y2krazy
Sure. Take a look at functions_styleusers.php and change
to

Actually, that didn't change a thing. ><

It does - change your Style in UserCP, hit save and you'll see.

Just tried it again, saved via the UCP, and it's still the same. Attachment included.

Normally that can't be. Send me a PM with an ACP and FTP Login and i'll take a look

Ok, new wrinkle. I have 19 members and they are all using the forum default style. But in the style chooser it shows 17 using that style and 0 using the other one. Any ideas?

Uh? That should not happen, where are those 2 missing members ...

[sql]SELECT styleid, COUNT(styleid) FROM user GROUP BY styleid[/sql]

What does that tell?

ID - Count
----------
0 - 16
5 -1
6 -1
10 -1

But I deleted all styles except 2 of them. And rebuilt styles. Shouldn't it have reset?

No. It will fallback on runtime.
Hmm, I could try to make the query a bit more intelligent so it counts non-existing styles as default.
But currently this is working as designed - it tells you what's in the database ;)

How do I get it to show it right then?

UPDATE user SET styleid=0 WHERE styleid IN (doesnotexistanymore)

After running the query 2 times (for deleted styles 5 and 6) and rebuilding the styles, now it all looks right. ;)

Is there an easier way to do that if you ever delete another style?

Wonderful, I've already been looking for this.
Thanks, Kirby!

@Boofo
Well .. as said, it would require putting more logic into the query.
Or report it as a bug @ .com ;)

Do you consider it a bug or would I be wasting my time?

And how would you actually report something like this? Since it is a mod/hack that found it, wouldn't that basically null and void and report I would make? ;)

installed, and works a treat

very nice.

*installed

A very nice and useful hack. Thanks a lot. :)

I imported it as a product (Right to do it that way correct?)

and get this on my forum home:
Also when I go to my admincp I get it to. I ca'nt disable the product now. >.<...How do I disable all plugins?

Did you upload this file (functions_styleusers.php)?
It's necessary.

Yeah. I uplaoded it but here is what happened.

I have a live 3.0.5 site and a test 3.5.0 RC3 site

[high]* TruthElixirX clicks forum instead of /testvb
[/high]

Just upladoed it to the wrong place.

Works a-okay now. Thanks a lot. :)

installs.

Do I really use "(doesnotexistanymore)"? :) You lost me.

doesnotexistanymore = style ID number (that doesn't exist anymore)

Thanks Bob. :) I guess I'm as think as I drunk I am!

Installed and works on 3.5.0. :P

Thanks!!

I was wondering if you can somehow make something like vB.org has where on their postbit it says what style they are using.

bump for my question

Yes it is possiblt to show that info - but not with this Hack.

How do I set this to include only certain usergroup ids in the counts?

Not possible.

I have this installed in 3.5.1 but the problem is, it doesn't actually work. The moderator usergroup does not have access to any styles that i select at all, is there any possible way to fix it. Or is it safe to assume that this doesn't work in 3.5.1?

Could i set numbers visible only for admins?
