Freezing postcounts during board cleanup

[RedTrinity]

Nobody can help me with the last bit?

Create a new plugin:
Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: forumhome_complete
Name: Restore ForumHome Stats
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:

function stripcomma($string){
  $string = str_replace(',', '', $string);
  return $string; 
}

/*
 Enter in the figures you need to. Suggest you  make notes too for your own future reference
 Deleted 10,000 users, threads and posts on December 23 2008 added back in here 
*/

$num_deleted_threads =10000;
$num_deleted_posts=10000;
$num_deleted_users=10000;

$totalthreads=vb_number_format(stripcomma($totalthreads)+$num_deleted_threads);
$totalposts=vb_number_format(stripcomma($totalposts)+$num_deleted_posts);
$numbermembers=vb_number_format(stripcomma($numbermembers)+$num_deleted_users);

Modify the following as required.

$num_deleted_threads =10000;
$num_deleted_posts=10000;
$num_deleted_users=10000;

Hi Dartho,

Thanks for your help. I followed your instructions and set the following, which were the stats for our forum prior to the board cleanup...

$num_deleted_threads=25,627;
$num_deleted_posts=421,341;
$num_deleted_users=1,087;

Have activated the plugin, but the stats haven't changed at all - they reflect the aftermath still. Have I done it correctly?

[dartho]

no commas!

BTW - don't put in the totals, put in teh number you deleted.

eg. if now (after the clean up) you have 5000 threads and previously you had 25627, then $num_deleted_threads=20627; etc ...

Oh bugger, I have no idea how many I deleted LOL... I suppose that means I'm gonna have to do the math now, going by the current totals

I'll give it a shot now and see how I go, thanks again

ETA: Ok, I altered the amounts to reflect the deletions:

$num_deleted_threads=15548;
$num_deleted_posts=247368;
$num_deleted_users=0;

Made sure the plugin is active, still no change though Do i need to update the counters or anything like that?

[dartho]

I tested on my live site - let me just check that I haven't missed a vital point...


[Edit]
Tested and working on my site...

I exported teh plugin so it is definately identical - try uploading the attached (disable/delete the one you created manually first)

[RedTrinity]

Ok I just worked out whats going on The default display for our forum stats (ie. at the foot of the forum) is right ie. the plugin is working correctly Its the VBAdvanced forum stats box in the left side column thats still wrong

I don't suppose there is an easy fix to get it working for that too?

Its not a huge issue if not, I am grateful for your help regardless Dartho Just means I'll have to either edit/remove that box, since its not the same!

Let me know

[dartho]

You could create another plugin with the same code and put it on

Product: vBadvanved CMPS
Hook Location: vba_cmps_module_stats (vbacmps)
Title: vBadvanced Stats

[RedTrinity]

Got it Its all fixed!!!

Thank you so much for all your help!!! I really appreciate it Our forum is nice and tidy now - and taking up a lot less database space

Cheers

ETA: Bugger, spoke too soon... the VBA stats work on all forum pages except for the index page - which goes blank when this plugin is active :S
