Show Thread Enhancements - Special Post Counter

Click in Install for receive update news and better support!!

This is a port for 3.7 version of the same name hack.

Special Post Counter (SPC) adds a extra post counter in postbit. This new counter adds or remove post made in specified forums.
For example, all post made in OffTopic forums go to a OffTopic Post counter instead the regular one. In that way users don't need to flood forums for win post and can keep track of their stats in that section instead of disabling post count for that forum.
This hack only add a new counter for all specified forums one like. Not multiple counters for multiple forums.


Features:
What does include and count this hack:
Post Reply
New Thread
Delete Post/Thread
Restore Post/Thread
Moderate Post/Thread
Inline moderation actions including above ones
Rebuild Special Post Counter - NEW in 1.1


What does not include and count this hack (in order of difficulty):

1. Show in other sections different as Show Thread
2. AdminCP controls for search of modify
3. [S]Rebuild Special Post Counter[/S] - done
4. Move Post/Thread
5. Search by special posts exclusively
6. Merge/Unmerge Post/Thread

I planning add some features listed above in future (show in other sections, admincp controls) but others are a little complex to implement (merge/search/move). Suggestion about them are welcome!


Because vBulletin have hardcoded the post counter instances, multiple file edits are required.
I resumed them into 12 instances in 4 files. Basically all edits are adding a spc count exception.


Version History (current first):
1.1
- Added Rebuild Special Post Counter in Maintenance
- Fixed a problem with the forum id listing

1.0
- Initial release in 3.7



Installing:

• Import product-spc_post11.xml
• Follow file edit instructions in spc_install.html

Upgrading:

• Import product-spc_post11.xml using Allow Overwrite Option
• Apply the file edits in spc_update11.html (basically using "replace all" option in notepad) and adjust Forum ID section if need.

Im apologize for my bad grammar and spell, im learning every day

I can't make the addon with plugin because vbulletin doesn't have hooks for them. So manual edit for files is required (vbulletin 3.0 style)

what a shame mate ...

Some of the file edits you describe, could be done with plugins, not all, but some of them.

[Leo Brazil]

This a good idea but a recount for previous posts would be nice.

I ported from 3.0 to 3.7. I used some plugins for auto insert the counter in postbit but i can't find other way to modify all counter instances without doing more sql queries.

[winduff]

is it possible to disable the 'post count', meaning that it only counts the threads created?

[Dark Zero]

No, but you can use this:
