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.

Hi, very nice mod, thanks! Only one question, is possible to select some groups, for example only the registered users and not the staff?
thanks so much !!!

i have a question. What im looking for is a post counter than counts the posts users make in a single thread (or subforum if its not posible for thread). Because im making a forum game where users get stronger depending how many posts they made in an especific thread, so i would need something than tells me that. Can this add-on tell me how many posts did each user made in that subforum or thread?.

tried to install it on 3.8.3
install looked like it went well, my problem occurred when I went into the admin panel and clicked on Maintenance then clicked on Update counters and the page went blank which would led me to believe that there is a code problem on that page but I didn't modify that page?
any ideas? Also forum manager was not working as well so I had to uninstall it?

Dont worked in 3.8.1 it saw 0 Offtopic posts

[Tettinntil]

3.8.4.
Updating the counter manually works, but it seems as if it does not automatically count if I do not update...

[Tettinntil]

Will the counter work if the setting for the forums is set to not count the posts in the user's postcount?
