Thread Counter & Display

As Requested by BigJohnson..

This hack counts the numbers of threads a user has made in a specific forum or forums, and outputs the count on the postbits & the profile page..


Included is the instructions for up to 5 counters..but you can add in more, just read the code, its easy to follow

It also allows for exemptions from the counters based on userid's and not usergroups though i am sure its adaptable!

Enjoy!

Won't that code in the showthread add a query for every post on the page? It's in the loop, right?

[TouchingVirus]

Yes, but consider the information it retreives along with the amount of post's per page..(a usual 15)..it adds about a second to load times

[Boofo]

There's got to be an easier way to do that outside the loop. That's why I didn't meess with it because of the queries it would add. But at least you got it done. Good job.

Thanks so much. Well u can just sort between threads made a different way but then u wont be able to edit the number of new threads created in the amdin cp or anything.

Thanks so much dude. I love you hehe.

Very nice hack, one of my members were asking for this. I know he will find it useful

Hey, could you make some modifications for a new post count, for offtopic/spam forums? so they dont mixup with the normal post count?

Example:

Post: 980 (normal)
SPAM Post: 4666 (In the OFFTOPIC/CHAT/SPAM forums IDs: 2,3,4)

thanks n.nU
