This is possible, but would procude more load on SQL because of additional things to be done... Problem is that vBulletin does not store information about "this post counts to the counter" in the posts-table, so every post has to be checked for its forumid and there its settings ...


Possible, but will slow down the Arcade I think:

THE FOLLOWING CODE IS UNTESTED AND PROVIDED JUST OUT OF MIND


open /modules/mod_arcade.php

search for

        if( $this->user['ppd_require'] )
        {
       		$posts_today_time = mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));
            	$DB->query("SELECT COUNT(postid) AS amount FROM ibf_post WHERE dateline>".$posts_today_time." AND userid=".$this->user['id']);
            	$posts_today = $DB->fetch_row();
            	$this->user['posts_today'] = $posts_today['amount'];
        }

and replace with

        if( $this->user['ppd_require'] )
        {
       		$posts_today_time = mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));

		$postcounter=0;
		// get todays posts that are in forums where postcounting is active
		$countquery = $DB->query("SELECT p.userid, f.options
				FROM ibf_post AS p, ibf_thread AS t, ibf_forum AS f
				WHERE dateline>".$posts_today_time."
				AND p.userid=".$this->user['id']."
				AND p.threadid=t.threadid
				AND t.forumid=f.forumid");
		while ($counter=$DB->fetch_row($countquery))
		{
			if (substr($counter['options'],4,1)=="1") { $postcounter++; }
		}

            	$this->user['posts_today'] = $postcounter;
        }
