Version 0.3 should be working fine.
i'm not able to test it very well. but it worked for me one 1 board.
my conenction make it almost impossible to upload a file to my server :/

but it should work, and there is no restrinction of the amount of forums..

by the way, i put all this in a nice install file :)
upload that file to your admin dir and run it..

a example of the special post counter:

wow nice dude

it works ? or you just clicked install for fun ?

I have made some additions:
You can now turn it on/off in the admin control panel
You can now set the forumid through the admin control panel
And where it says 'Special Posts' - You can now name this whatever you want through the admin control panel too.

All three options are available through acp > vbulletin options > thread options.

I gave you the file, and can't wait for you to implement it in the new version, together with the support for multiple forums and how to delete stuff and update counters, etc.

Nice hack, I might not have a use for it, but if it is complete later on, it starts to look really interesting and fun to play with :)

I have another little feature request.
Would it be possible to extend this to use for threads too?
Special Posts: x
Special Threads: y

Also, maybe extend my add-on to also have option to set the number to count up for the special count, like 1, or 5
And the same for threads,
so we can set posts count each time up with 1
and threads with 2
or 5 and 10 or 100 and 1000 :)

I guess that is possible..

what use will that be ? could be done, but i don't see the use :)


btw: implented multiple forums and you addon.
now working on the delete problem.

thx for the help

Nice hack, I might use it sometime but not now..

i've finished the delete part.

check the first post in this thread for a updated version.
i hope the install file is complete.
