Are you simply talking about the post count on the index.php page? It looks like the total post count is grabbed from the forumcache and you can probably use construct_forum_bit (in functions_forumlist.php) to get the reply count for that particular forum and then just do a quick calculation to spit out what you want.
Thanks Lynne. I have no idea how I would do that though. Any advice?
I'd go find the function I was talking about and also read about it in here - http://members.vbulletin.com/api/ I'd also see how the function was used previously so you see what goes in and what comes out. Then just add the code into the index page at the bottom under where the total postcount is grabbed from the cache.
Actually, I just relooked and saw it's already there in the cache (and I don't know what I was thinking of using that function - middle of the afternoon brain fart or something). You can see it totaling up the posts in the function, just grab the total for that forum and do what you want with it:
Code:
if (is_array($vbulletin->forumcache))
{
foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forum)
{
$totalthreads += $forum['threadcount'];
$totalposts += $forum['replycount'];
if ($forum['forumid'] == xx) $forumpostcount = $forum['replycount'];
}
}
