Another one I did, but this one doesn't work the way some may want. Some like to see how many posts are on the board, keeping accurate count when posts are deleted. I, however, like to keep a running total of how many posts my board has had since its inception, so I pull the count from the member files, and that's how this hack is set up. This is not the "Accurate Total Posts" that Charles Capps wrote a while back, as I said, mine counts the posts from the member files.

Enjoy!

Works fine smile

Could you code a "Total Theme Hack" and a "Total Forums Hack" ?

Slurpee, Question: Since it gets the count from the members files what is the affect by having 10,000 members? I like the hack but I hesitate to have something looking at all of the members files everytime someone enters the forums.

That's why I created the "Accurate Total Posts" variant on the UBB5 version of this. wink

I'd certainly like an updated version of the total accurate posts hack that I run now, for version 6 too! smile

i have an idea but i dont know hwo to write cgi and perl script

Tovok7's total posts and topics hack is what i use

could it be modified to generate its own data file and keep a record of the total current totpics and posts but also keep a record of the inseption total from when the hack was installed?

i know i hvae friends that are writing scripts for there main job i dont kno about you guys but i know they could do it but they seem to like to raid my wallet when it comes to such things

so thats why i come here

but let me know what you think

oh and for the hack showing the totals
maybe have it show the totals normaly like it does now but have a link near where it is placed on the forum summary that will acces the the total from the begining and also add the begining totals to Tovok7's statistics hack?

i dont know im just rambling on on ill leave now

peace
Scott

Use the code from the News Fader and it should work fine.
