Reply Count addon for "In Reply to" hack by WetWired · **Released**: 12-10-2004

Original hack can be found here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...956#post475956

What my addon does is to place an incremental number in the "Re:" section of the post title.

For example, if I posted a post called "Test Post", the first reply would be "Re(1): Test Post". The second would be "Re (2): Test Post" and so on.

If a reply is made to "Re (1): Test Post", that reply becomes "Re (2) : Test Post"
First, install the WetWired's hack. Then,

In includes/functions_newpost.php Find the function fetch_quote_title

Replace the entire function with:

Code:

// ###################### Start fetch_quote_title #######################
// checks the parent post and thread for a title to fill the default title field
function fetch_quote_title($parentposttitle, $threadtitle)
{
	global $vboptions, $vbphrase;

	if ($vboptions['quotetitle'])
	{
		if ($parentposttitle != '')
		{
			$posttitle = $parentposttitle;
		}
		else
		{
			$posttitle = $threadtitle;
		}
		$posttitle = unhtmlspecialchars($posttitle);
		if(strstr($posttitle, "Re:"))
		{
		   list($prefix,$remainder) = split("\(",$posttitle,2);
		   list ($number,$newtitle) = split("\)",$remainder,2);
		   $posttitle = "Re: (". ($number+1) . ") ". $newtitle;
		}
		else {
		  $posttitle = "Re:(1)" . $posttitle;
		}
		
		//$posttitle = preg_replace('#^(' . preg_quote($vbphrase['reply_prefix'], '#') . '\s*)+#i', '', $posttitle);
		return "$posttitle";
	}
	else
	{
		return '';
	}
}

in newreply.php find:

Code:

$newpost['title'] = $_POST['title'];

Add after:

Code:

	if (!$newpost['title'])
	{
	   $newpost['title'] = $postinfo['title'];
	   $newpost['title']=fetch_quote_title($newpost['title'], $threadinfo['title']);
	}

Done.
