Forum Display Enhancements - Stop Posts and Threads Counting Towards FORUMHOME Totals

This small mod was brought to you by CodersHangout.co.uk the Web Design and Web Development Forums. I use this small mod on my website, I did a quick search on here to see if it had already been posted but it hadn't, so I thought I would share it with you all.

If you want to stop posts and threads counting towards the totals on FORUMHOME, then this is how to do it.

You will need to modify the index.php file for this:

Find:

 	foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forum)
	{
		$totalthreads += $forum['threadcount'];
		$totalposts += $forum['replycount'];
	}

Replace with:

 	foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $id => $forum)
	{
		if ($id != XX)
		{
			$totalthreads += $forum['threadcount'];
			$totalposts += $forum['replycount'];
		}
	}

Replace the 'XX' with the ID of the forum that you want excluded from the FORUMHOME totals.


If you want to use this code for multiple forums, then use this:

if (($id != XX) && ($id != XX) && ($id != XX))

nice idea, I have a section I might use this for

Thank you for this, installed and works great! I am wondering something, will this work when statistics are displayed within the header instead of the normal forumhome location?

Thanks
