deleting posts/threads doesnt reduce post counts

[corsacrazy]

this was avaiable for vb2 just wondering if any one has made for vb3. basically i dont want user OR forum post counts to reduce when deleting a thread/post

In functions_databuild FIND

PHP Code:

function delete_post($postid, $countposts = 1, $threadid = 0, $physicaldel = 1, $delinfo = NULL)
{ 


BELOW that ADD

PHP Code:

$countposts = 0; 


In functions_databuild FIND

PHP Code:

function delete_thread($threadid, $countposts = 1, $physicaldel = 1, $delinfo = NULL)
{ 


BELOW that ADD

PHP Code:

$countposts = 0; 


Then the post count should not change when you delete a post/thread.

No. That's why I said it should work

Cool thanks! Works fine on vB 3 gold.

Wouldn't it just be easier to have a 'Storage Bin' type forum and move threads to that? Obviously this would not be visible for users.

Although the post count on the specific forum would decrease, the overall post count would stay the same, and, if needs be, you could refer to these posts.

Warning!

If I make the above changes, I get this error when I try to edit a post:

Parse error: parse error in /home/xxxx/public_html/forums/includes/functions_databuild.php on line 332

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: delete_post_index() in /home/xxxx/public_html/forums/editpost.php on line 406

Proceed with caution! (I am removing the changes....)

Hopefully there is a fix for this one

Exactly. No use hacking and making upgrades more difficult.

Worked for me and a bump for those who might be interested in this.
