Post Count Viewing

[Christine]

My members are having fits because I pruned the board back to minimize the database to upgrade from 2.0.3 to 2.2.6.

We have decided to eliminate post count view from the posts because of the problems it is causing, but want this still viewable by the admins and mods.

Can anyone tell me how to modify postbit so that only usergroups 5 and 6 can view postcount and make it invisible to all other users?

Thanks!!

Edit postbit template and replace

PHP Code:

Posts: $post[posts] 


As:

PHP Code:

$post_num_var 


Edit admin/functions.php, find:

PHP Code:

$post[message]=bbcodeparse($post[pagetext],$forum[forumid],$post[allowsmilie]); 


after add:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5)
{
$post_num_var='Posts : '.$post[posts];
}
else 
{
unset($post_num_var);
} 


not tested, holler if it doesnt work..

works perfectly like always teammate

just a suggestion if you want to do it more comfortable:
make a new template called adminpostbit put inside $post[posts] and whatever postbitvariable you just want to show up to your admins/mods

then open functions.php
find:

PHP Code:

// do posts from ignored users
    if (!$ignore[$post[userid]]) {
        eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";");
    } else {
        eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit_ignore")."\";");
    } 


before it add:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5) {
          eval("\$adminpostbit = \"".gettemplate("adminpostbit")."\";");
        } else {
          $adminpostbit = "";
        } 


last step replace the $post[posts] in your postbit with $adminpostbit.

ok, its little more work than logicians way, but so you can easyly add other variables to, without codechanges

So unless people look in here, it remains exclusive
