Add commas to replycounts, thread views, etc

This "hack" is so simple I'm really surprised nobody's released it here before, or that it's not included in vB2 (though it is done this way in vB3). All this does is add commas to the number of threads & posts in each forum on your index page, and to the number of replies & views on the forum display page. So for a thread that has 1,000 views, it would normally be shown as "1000". This changes it to add the number format and show "1,000" instead. I know this is really simple, but I figured someone might find it useful since it makes those numbers a little easier to read.

And also for post counts, in postbit and member list

[N9ne]

For post counts in postbit, put this code anywhere in the buildpostbit function in functions.php

$post[posts]=number_format($post[posts]);

[N9ne]

And for memberlist post counts:

memberlist.php, find:

$userinfo[datejoined]=vbdate($dateformat,$userinfo[joindate]);

Below it, add:

$userinfo[posts]=number_format($userinfo[posts]);

Done.

Thanks for the hack Tigga

Nice addition.

[VAN]

Doh! Found another...

To add this to the post counts in a users profile,

In member.php find:

$userinfo[datejoined]=vbdate($dateformat,$userinfo[joindate]);

Below that, add:

$userinfo[posts]=number_format($userinfo[posts]);

Thanks for the "mini-hack", Tigga.

Tigga, in your instructions, shouldn't this:

PHP Code:

Now open usercp.php AND member2.php and look for:

$replies=$thread[replycount];
$views=$thread[views];


Change that to (in both files):

$thread[replycount]=number_format($thread[replycount]);
$thread[views]=number_format($thread[views]); 


actually be this:

PHP Code:

Now open usercp.php AND member2.php and look for:

$replies=$thread[replycount];
$views=$thread[views];


Change that to (in both files):

$replies=number_format($thread[replycount]);
$views=number_format($thread[views]); 


[Tigga]

Bofo - No, actually the code you're looking for in those 2 files is useless. The $replies and $views variables aren't used anywhere in the templates, so I'm not sure why the code is even there in the first place (other than the devs forgot to remove it). That's why I figured it best to trade out that code for something a little more useful.

[Boofo]

I just checked the templates. You're right. I don't see those anywhere at all. Thanks for clearing that up.

BTW: It's Boofo, not Bofo.

[Tigga]

No problem at all. I thought it was kinda strange that the code was in there as well and made sure it wasn't used anywhere first. Maybe they were planning on using the number_format tags at first and forgot about it? Who knows...
Sorry about the typo in your name. Guess I was typing a little too fast.

[Boofo]

I would tend to believe it is just forgotten code.

BTW: Did you get the pm I sent you?
