and 3,5,7,2,= counter 2 total


if ya get me drift

Download, the hack listed above.. Read the directions, and you will see its possible to do that with the hack

Works like a charm for me and many others...

i have got the hack above,but if i knew how to set it up that way then i would have done it fella.

just asking for a lill help on how to set it up that way

etc etc etc


do i add the forums id in that line???

BUMP??

any1 help a lill please

yes

yes???

you can help???

hmm.. okay, just install the hack that i post in here..
and that will do.


Easy to install.

Open admin\functions.php

Find:
add in the end: $DB_site
so it will look something like that:
find:
global $counter,$firstnew,$sigcache,$highlight,$postid,$f orum,$DB_site;

add after:
find:
$post[posts]="N/A";

add under:
$cfirst="N/A";
$csecond="N/A";

in CODE area you will see AND forumid IN (?,?,?)");" instead of the questions mark '?' write the forumid you wish the counter will work on, you can add forums and remove forums... as much as you want how simple is that?!

Now, just go to "Postbit" template, look for $post[posts] and add there your counters - $cfirst - which is the first counter || $csecond which is the second counter of course.

if you have any question or if you need helping installing it (although i think its easy), just write here, and ill help ya

Good Luck!

STouch

The hack STouch posted doesnt know what or where to count so wont work very well.
TouchingVirus's hack will work fine but needs a lot more code editing than needed and also does more querys than are needed.

The following code should work fine though untested I have to say.
Querys needed = 1
(this is assuming you dont turn all the counters on for the specific forum)
extra counter on forum = extra query
So if you turn on counter 1 and 2 for general discussion then the extra querys made when posting in general conversation will be 2.

Add to user table in dbase

countone
counttwo
countthree etc...

basic query for the above would be

ALTER TABLE user ADD countone int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0';
ALTER TABLE user ADD counttwo int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0';
etc....
repeat for each count you wish to use

Ok now the code edits

In admincp/forum find:
Replace with:
Same file find:
Add Below:

Save & close

Now in functions_newpost find:
Add ABOVE:

save and close

in includes/init.php Find:

Replace with:
I guess i should point out that if you used my IRC poster then the above will already have changed in which case youll need to change
'ircmsg' => 524288
with
'ircmsg' => 524288,
'countone' => 1048576,
'counttwo' => 2097152,
'countthree' => 4194304,

Ok thats it for the php

The following code will only show a count if it is not 0

Now in postbit & and postbit_legacy
both is not actually needed it depends on how you have your postbit viewed.
If you use the old format I think thats postbit_legacy new format is postbit :s (i think)
