[How To] Create forum counters

Sorry my bad, I copy'd it from my plugin file, anyway. Run these query's in your admincp.

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

And:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

About the delete thread and count - 1 here is what I think must work ( not tested!!).
Add new plugin (hook: threadmanage_deletethread):

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Also, there are numerous other hook locations where you should place that code, I'll see if I can find them all. See this list:
List of default hooks
for all the hooks in vbulletin. Also maybe LiveWire knows a better way to solve this, instead of adding alot of plugins.
Another option is the calculate the counters using a script, that counts the thread made in each forum, and run that by cronjob. I'll create that soon for you.

Sorry mate but it still isn't working when doing it in Admincp. This is what I get:

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1064
error desc: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '" . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum ADD (enable_contrib_counter VARCHAR(250) NOT NULL DEFA' at line 1

[Arnoud]

Remove the " . TABLE_PREFIX . " part, and replace it with your table prefix if you have one.

Also, please edit your post, don't double post. The thread is kinda messy atm. Thanks.

[Tycoon]

Thank you for the suggestion but I haven't got a Table prefix. By the way, double post?Me? Where?

[Arnoud]

I mean removing it like this:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Also, the double post thingy wasn't directed at you, but at everyone.

Ok,

Its working now the query bit. This is what I used for anyone getting the same error:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

BUT...

Now it seems that its not actually adding post counts

Did you enable it in the admincp?

Where in AdminCP do you mean exactly? I did enable all the hooks and also enabled it Forum Manager when editing one of my forums. Is there another place because I didn't find anything in the "Vbulletin Options".

Thanks for your support.
