Threads number of a certain ctegory in forumhome

[Triky]

Hello, I have two hidden categories, and I want to put something like this in my forumhome:

Total thread in Hidden Categoy: (*)
Total thread in Hidden Category n.2: (*)

where (*) is the threads number.
Can you please help me?

Is this on the index page? Just grab it from where it says "// get total threads & posts from the forumcache" at the bottom of index.php. It's in the cache and get's totally up there. Just add in some code to grab it for each of those forumids.

Create plugin with "forumhome_complete"

$cat1 = $vbulletin->forumcache['typeforumidhere']['threadcount'];
$cat2 = $vbulletin->forumcache['typeforumidhere2']['threadcount'];

See if that works

Thank you. That works for one forum id. But.. if I want to add them for multiple forums? I have tried this:

$cat1 = $vbulletin->forumcache['10,27']['threadcount'];

But it doesn't work.

Do you mean this part?

PHP Code:

// get total threads & posts from the forumcache
$totalthreads = 0;
$totalposts = 0;
if (is_array($vbulletin->forumcache))
{
    foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forum)
    {
        $totalthreads += $forum['threadcount'];
        $totalposts += $forum['replycount'];
    }
}
$totalthreads = vb_number_format($totalthreads);
$totalposts = vb_number_format($totalposts); 


But.. how do I modify it in order to call just some forum ids? Also.. wich variable will I use to call the number in my FORUMHOME template?

Get them individually. If you then need the total for the two, just do an equation $cattotal = $cat1 + $cat2; .

PHP Code:

$cats = array(10, 27);
$count = 0;

foreach ($cats AS $cat)
{
    $count += $vbulletin->forumcache["$cat"]['threadcount'];
}
