Is that possible? I was thinking in some kind of command line at the SQL windown under ADMIN who could do it. What happens is I had a police that post like "me too", "thank you", "see you", and other similars should not count to the post numbers, so what I do is delete those (it's a pain, but worth). Then I just finished deleting all those 'No practical content' posts and now I would like to reclassify all my users. This is why I would like to have a SQL query to change the post counts on all members. Thank you for any input. Elton

I had to do this quite a while back - used a simple little script like this:

Code

<br /><?<br />// Written by Joshua Pettit<br />// ©2003 - JoshuaPettit.com<br />// www.joshuapettit.com<br />// Used on conceivingconcepts.com<br /><br /><br />// Require the Library<br />	require ("main.inc.php");<br />	<br />echo "Begining the Script to fix the post counts.<br /><br />";<br />$count = 0;<br /><br />$query = "<br />	SELECT U_Username<br />	FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Users<br />	";<br />   $sth = $dbh -> do_query($query);<br /><br />while (list($Username) = $dbh -> fetch_array($sth)) {<br />	$Username_q = addslashes($Username);<br />	$query = "<br />		SELECT COUNT(*)<br />		FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Posts<br />		WHERE B_Username = '$Username_q'<br />	";	<br />   $sti = $dbh -> do_query($query);<br />   $postcount = $dbh -> fetch_array($sti);<br /><br /><br /><br />	$query = "<br />		UPDATE {$config['tbprefix']}Users<br />		SET U_Totalposts = '$postcount[0]'<br />		WHERE U_Username = '$Username_q'<br />	";	<br />   $stj = $dbh -> do_query($query);<br /><br /><br />	echo "$Username updated with $postcount[0] posts.<br />";<br /><br />	$count++;<br />}<br /><br />echo "Done! Updated $count Users!<br />";<br /><br />?>

Drop that in the threads directory - run it, it'll fix all the post counts. Be sure to remove it when you're done - it's high load to recalculate all the post counts.

Whoops strike that that was an old wwwthreads board - before the advent of U_Number - this will be more efficient on modern boards.

Code

I had been looking through the modifications forum for this script for a few days now - I only just now found this in the "how do I" forum. Any possibility of creating this into a file and moving it to the completed mods forum as a USE AT YOUR OWN RISK (as usual) script?

Let's say I have a person named Romy constantly screaming at me about his post count wasnt trasnferred. Username: Romy Current Postcount: 174 posts Postcount should be: 17,850 posts. How would your code look with those settings? Any help would be appreciated because I got a few posters I need to fix.. 1st post in these forums but it won't be the last.
