Hide PostCount
 

Someone asked me to write this up and I figured I might as well share it with everyone. This is an EXTREMELY simple hack that hides the post count on postbit, and member profile.

0 file edits, 2 plugin edits (very quick), 0 template edits.

It's awesome, but it maybe would be better if the selected user could determine if they would like the post count hidden?

Would be but that'd involve adding bitfields to the usergroup permissions as well as phrases, and all that all stuff that simply goes beyond the scope of why I wrote this hack. Also that sort of defeats the purpose... if a member has the ability to choose whether or not he/she can view their and other's post count then the one use (if not only, as I can't think of others for this hack) of discouraging an outlet of spam (to gain the highest post count) would be defeated eh? Sorry mate, no time, and other projects to work with.

No problem. I understand.

Great work!

You could actually do the user selectable on/off using a custom user profile field.

no more template edits when upgrading! greeeeat!

Naturally but then again these are options and that's a profile field... so the only reason why I didn't was because it would be improper to place it there.

Glad it was of use... was this done in 3.0.x by someone else, just curious?

You could do that via template changes without the need of a plugin :)

Obviously... so let's go back and now have our long laborous IF conditions, not to mention the fact that you have to do it for every style you have (smiles). So I think this is MUCH simpler =p.
