But what you might do is create a plugin using hook postbit_display_start and create your own "adjusted posts" value in $post, then edit your postbit (or postbit_legacy) to use the new value.

For example, if your non-user-editable field is field7, then maybe the plugin code is:

$post['adjusted_posts'] = vb_number_format($post['posts'] + $post['field7']);

Then in the postbit template, change {vb:raw post.posts} to {vb:raw post.adjusted_posts}.

But IIRC, the profile field has to at least be publicly readable or else you'll find $post['field7'] will be empty.

Holy hell, that was so easy...

That worked just fine, but now I'm trying to add that same post count to the sidebar on the member profile sidebar.

In 'memberinfo_block_ministats', there is the code:
<dl class="stats">
<dt>{vb:rawphrase total_posts}</dt>
<dd> {vb:raw prepared.posts}</dd>
</dl>

I am trying to get the adjusted_posts value previously calculated to show here as well.
I tried using the same code using the 'member_build_blocks_start' hook, and changing 'prepared.posts' to 'post.adjusted_posts', but it didn't work.

What was I supposed to do differently?

Thanks!
