track users by # of posts in a certain forum?

[Cruz]

has anyone/can anyone make a hack that would track a user's number of posts per a certain forum? i.e they would have 2 post counts, 1 being the main post count, and 1 being the count for that certain forum. Thx

Yeah, i need this too, to use with auto group assignment hack.

I thought this might be easy, and it was.

In showthread.php go to line 488. You'll see something like:

    } else {  
      $post[signature] = "";
    }
} else {

change it to:

    } else {  
      $post[signature] = "";
    }

    $forumcount_result = $DB_site->query("select count(*) as forumposts from post,thread where post.threadid=thread.threadid and post.userid=" . $post[userid] . " and thread.forumid=" . $curforumid);
    $forumcount_row=$DB_site->fetch_array($forumcount_result);
    $post[forumposts] = $forumcount_row[forumposts];
    $DB_site->free_result($forumcount_result);
} else {

Go down about 6 lines where you see:

$post[posts]="N/A";

and add a line so you have:

$post[posts]="N/A";
$post[forumposts]="N/A";

Finally, go to the Postbit Template named "postbit".

Near the bottom of the initial window you'll see:

Posts: $post[posts]</smallfont></td>

Change it to:

Posts: $post[posts]<br>
Forum Posts: $post[forumposts]</smallfont></td>

Be sure each line of code is on a single line, so if you copy/paste watch that it doesn't embed some newlines in there.

Let me know how it goes for you please.
