vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Determine thread position in the threadlist

addamroy · #1 02-07-2013, 12:35 AM

I have some ideas running around in my head but can't put my finger on how to make it happen.

Anyway what I want to accomplish somehow is...

possibly a conditional or a variable of some sort to determine a threads position in the threadlist. A conditional that I could use in SHOWTHREAD template.

For example,

In the showthread template I could add a line of code somewhere that says "Your thread is at X position in this forum" Where X would be the threads position in the thread list for that forum section.

Or I could use a conditional somehow, if X >= 20 then display a message that says "your thread is no longer on the first page.

Either way I'm just curious if there's any way to get the position of a thread, and have that be usable in the showthread template.
