A way to have blog comments included in post count?

[fldewey]

Hello,

I recently started a site with Vbulletin. My users were accustomed to a site with only a blog, so that was their post count. As you know in Vbulletin the post count is for forum posts.

Does anyone know of a way to include blog comment numbers in the overall post count?

Thanks.

I've never heard of any automatic way to do this. Of course, you can set post counts manually one by one if you're feeling energetic.

You would want to write a plugin that hooks into the query for the posts and JOINS with the blog_user table to grab the field blog_user.comments (maybe blog_user.entries also?). Then you will be able to add that number to the number of posts. I guess you'd need to do this on the profile page also.

Thank you - I will look into that.
