Posts count towards overall post count but not members

[Vivi Ornitier]

Is there a way we can make it so for a certain forum, the post counts towards the overall forum posts count but does NOT count for the member's overall post counts. I just want this on spam forums and my battle results forum. I don't think it would be that hard of an addition to make but I still have no clue where to start it.

anyone?

hmm i don't see the point what you want exactly...

the global value of all posts on a forum is not affected by the setting count posts towards user postcount

Ya there's the battle hack and it automatically makes posts in a forum depicting the results of a battle. I want like the forum to have its posts counted towards the overall forum post but doesn't affect the users post count because that would be too cheap.

ahh i see now i think

you have to hack the postcreation part a bit to update the forum stats.
just copy the part of newreply.php should be enough if you have the same var names

doesn't this automatically hapen when you set a forum to not count posts towards user? or does the battle hack change this?

[Vivi Ornitier]

that doesn't add to the overall forum count. I don't want it to contribute to a user's post count but for overall forum count.

Xenon: wouldn't that affect every forum if i did that?? Any other ways u could post?

hmm, as said i don't know the hack itself so i can't answer that for sure

from what i get it should
