Add commas to replycounts, thread views, etc

This "hack" is so simple I'm really surprised nobody's released it here before, or that it's not included in vB2 (though it is done this way in vB3). All this does is add commas to the number of threads & posts in each forum on your index page, and to the number of replies & views on the forum display page. So for a thread that has 1,000 views, it would normally be shown as "1000". This changes it to add the number format and show "1,000" instead. I know this is really simple, but I figured someone might find it useful since it makes those numbers a little easier to read.

Thanks alot!
But would a dot (point) perhaps look nicer instead of a comma?
So, if i wanted to do that, is that an easy thing to change?

Best regards,

Aaron

For the moment I wasn't sure if life was worth living anymore, until I found this hack.

Well done.

Aaron1 - Yes, that is possible and fairly easy to do. In index.php and the first edit in forumdisplay.php, you would use this code instead:

PHP Code:

$forum[replycount]="".number_format($forum['replycount'], 0, '', '.');
$forum[threadcount]="".number_format($forum['threadcount'], 0, '', '.'); 


Then for the 2nd edit in forumdisplay.php, you would use this code instead:

PHP Code:

$thread[replycount]="".number_format($thread['replycount'], 0, '', '.');
$thread[views]="".number_format($thread['views'], 0, '', '.'); 


Velocd - Glad something so simple could help to make your life worth living.

That is because it has been already provided in many threads in Hack Requests forum, just like many other small and simple ("mini" as Xenon calls them) hacks ..
