This is a small hack I have on my BB that I posted some 2 months ago in reply to a thread in the hacks request forum. Since then, a couple of people contacting me asking me this hack, so I'm posting it here in the release forum.

It numbers your posts in a thread - the first one has the number 1 written on it, the second 2 etc. This will accurately count the post number irrespective of the page you are on, and tt helps orientation on long threads (and our threads are long).

The post number on my BB is also a hyperlink, so people can copy the direct URL to that specific post.

Installation is simple:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR VERSIONS BEFORE 2.0.3
scroll down for installation in version 2.0.3 and later

Open showthread.php

Find

PHP Code:
while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts) and $counter++<$perpage) { 
and ABOVE it put:

PHP Code:
$countposts = ($pagenumber-1)*$perpage

Find

PHP Code:
eval("\$postbits .= \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";"); 
and ABOVE it put:

PHP Code:
$countposts $countposts+1
save and upload.

Edit template postbit and place the variable $countposts where you want the post # to show.

For example, place <smallfont>Post #$countposts</smallfont> somewhere at the bottom or <a href="showthread.php?postid=$post[postid]#post$post[postid]"><smallfont>$countposts</smallfont></a> if you want the numebr to also be a hyperlink directly to that post.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION FOR VERSIONS 2.0.3 AND UP

ok, how 'postbit' is parsed has changed since 2.0.3 so here's what you need to do to install this:

Put this before it:

$postcount = ($pagenumber - 1 ) * $perpage;

Find in showthread.php:

$postbits .= getpostbit($post);

Put this before it:

$post[postcount] = ++$postcount;

Then put $post[postcount] in your postbit template.
save and upload.

Edit template postbit AND postbit_ignore and place the variable $countposts where you want the post # to show.

For example, place <smallfont>Post #$post[postcount]</smallfont> somewhere at the bottom or <a href="showthread.php?postid=$post[postid]#post$post[postid]"><smallfont>$post[postcount]</smallfont></a> if you want the numebr to also be a hyperlink directly to that post.

---------------------------------------

You can see it on my BB, on any of the threads (near the date/time of the post, to the right of the small folder icon). Example: http://www.atlasf1.com/bb/showthread...threadid=24656

Cheers,

Bira

$postdone = array();

and ABOVE it put:

// Hack post count and link

$postcount = ($pagenumber - 1 ) * $perpage;

Find

$postbits .= getpostbit($post);

// Hack post count and link

$post[postcount] = ++$postcount;

// Hack post count and link end

Save and upload.

Edit template postbit and place the following text where you want the post # to show.

(<a href="showthread.php?postid=$post[postid]#post$post[postid]">Post #$post[postcount]</a>)

The hyperlinks work, but it doesn't show the post number.

Woohoo got it working... Used X-Fan's instructions and Knux's little pointer on already hacked showthread files. Working on 2.2.7.
