Hide Post Counts - visible to admins and moderators

[telc]

I want to hide post counts from normal users, but if you are logged in as Admin or Moderator I want to be able to see users post counts.

I find in my forums that users are posting nonsense replies just to get thier post count up.

yeah, i want this too. where is it. i know its possible, because I can see that the admin of this board has pulled it okk...

this is easily done, so i haven't released it as a full hack, because one block one change and one new template isn't reallly much ^^

open functions.php
goto section getpostbit

there find:

PHP Code:

// do posts from ignored users
    if (!$ignore[$post[userid]]) {
        eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";");
    } else {
        eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit_ignore")."\";");
    } 


just before add:

PHP Code:

// Admin Postbit Hack
        if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) {
          eval("\$adminpostbit = \"".gettemplate("adminpostbit")."\";");
        } else {
          $adminpostbit = "";
        } 


change or add other usergroupids if you want in the if-clause

then edit your postbittemplate, replace $post[posts] with $adminpostbit

and last step add template adminpostbit within there must be the line $post[posts] and whatever you want just to show up for your admins/mods and so on

Sorry to bring this thread back, but your sig said no pm's.....do you have any code changes for the latest vbb to do this?

Thanks.

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6">

blah blah...
</if>

Just put that around the code in your postbit template.

[Adrian Schneider]

You'll have to do that in member profiles as well as any other places that show the post count.

[N8]

Well, I think you could just go to your Replacement Variable Manager, and replace $post[posts] with <if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6">$post[posts]</if>

[Xenon]

nope, as the replacement is done AFTER the variable parsing, so this would replace nothing at all

[dcpaq2xx]

Is it possible we could get this in a plugin or plugin program?

If anyone wants this released as a hack, please specify the target vB version. Thanks.
