Topic: Counting posts
I'd like to add post numbers to the message window on my forum, e.g. '#34 of 56'. Are there variables I can use?
Re: Counting posts
I'd just make my own variables, open your viewtopic.php, find
while ($cur_post = $db->fetch_assoc($result))
{
// If the poster is a registered user.and replace with
$total = $db->num_rows($result);
$i = 0;
while ($cur_post = $db->fetch_assoc($result))
{
$i++;
echo "post $i of $total";
// If the poster is a registered user.That gives you this
You can then move the echo to wherever you want the info to display.
Re: Counting posts
Thanks for the quick response. I'll try that and see how I get on.
Re: Counting posts
I've added it but it's only counting for each page, then it starts again on the next page.
What I want is my forum to be like this one:
At present it looks like this:
(My apologies to Rickard for the way I've hacked his code around.)
Re: Counting posts
Use this block instead then:
$postcount = $db->query('SELECT max(id) FROM '.$db->prefix.'posts') or error('Unable to fetch post count', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
$total = $db->result($postcount, 0);
while ($cur_post = $db->fetch_assoc($result))
{
echo "post {$cur_post['id']} of $total";
// If the poster is a registered user.it will have gaps if you delete posts though
Re: Counting posts
OK, thanks. That works.
Is it possible to get the Quick Post to show only on the last page?
