Show Thread Enhancements - Special Post Counter

Click in Install for receive update news and better support!!

This is a port for 3.7 version of the same name hack.

Special Post Counter (SPC) adds a extra post counter in postbit. This new counter adds or remove post made in specified forums.
For example, all post made in OffTopic forums go to a OffTopic Post counter instead the regular one. In that way users don't need to flood forums for win post and can keep track of their stats in that section instead of disabling post count for that forum.
This hack only add a new counter for all specified forums one like. Not multiple counters for multiple forums.


Features:
What does include and count this hack:
Post Reply
New Thread
Delete Post/Thread
Restore Post/Thread
Moderate Post/Thread
Inline moderation actions including above ones
Rebuild Special Post Counter - NEW in 1.1


What does not include and count this hack (in order of difficulty):

1. Show in other sections different as Show Thread
2. AdminCP controls for search of modify
3. [S]Rebuild Special Post Counter[/S] - done
4. Move Post/Thread
5. Search by special posts exclusively
6. Merge/Unmerge Post/Thread

I planning add some features listed above in future (show in other sections, admincp controls) but others are a little complex to implement (merge/search/move). Suggestion about them are welcome!


Because vBulletin have hardcoded the post counter instances, multiple file edits are required.
I resumed them into 12 instances in 4 files. Basically all edits are adding a spc count exception.


Version History (current first):
1.1
- Added Rebuild Special Post Counter in Maintenance
- Fixed a problem with the forum id listing

1.0
- Initial release in 3.7



Installing:

• Import product-spc_post11.xml
• Follow file edit instructions in spc_install.html

Upgrading:

• Import product-spc_post11.xml using Allow Overwrite Option
• Apply the file edits in spc_update11.html (basically using "replace all" option in notepad) and adjust Forum ID section if need.

Im apologize for my bad grammar and spell, im learning every day

Could you upload your PHP files? I just edited them all as you described, but it doesn't seem to work.

Please, add an option to count only threads without posts

Only counting new threads? Since this hack control most instances is possible in the future!

You add the product and set the forums in the vBulletin options section?
Also you apply all the file edit required?

[WA.Helpers]

Thank you for reply.

Yes, it will be useful for counting all posted hacks, releases, announcements..etc.

Hey Dark Zero, I have this great plugin installed! Thanks for this. But I have a small problem. I also have installed this plugin: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177366

Which seems to be taking over the whole posts, and not showing up the offtopic posts at all. Is it possible you can take a look in to this? Also, I've tried to add multiple off-topic section numbers within the adminCP "SPC Forum ID" options, but it seems when I post in the off-topic section, the post count of the offtopic posts won't rise at all.

EDIT:
This plugin doesn't work properly I'm afraid. My sub sections where it should be working is as followed: 5, 19, 22 ,23 ,24 on http://forum.esforces.com/forumdisplay.php?f=5

Yet, it doesn't work as it should.. It seems to be only working within the Fan Fics and Fight Club section. Can this be fixed if possible?
