Count subforum posts in parent count?

    • Posted 4 years ago #

    Hi,
    Is it possible to modify my forums loop (below) to count the posts in subforums in the total for the parent? My subforums are displayed inline, rather than in a separate row, and the parent forum looks a bit weedy without the "real" count.

    <?php while ( bb_forum() ) :
    global $bb_forums_loop;
    $_loop =& $bb_forums_loop;
    if($_loop->walker->depth >= 2) : ?>
    <tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?>>
    <td colspan="3" class="subforums"><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?>Subforums:
    <?php
    while ($_loop->walker->depth > 1) :
    if($_loop->walker->depth > 2) {
    bb_forum();
    continue;
    }
    ?>
    "><?php forum_name(); ?><?php
    bb_forum();
    if ($_loop !== null && $_loop->walker->depth > 1)
    echo ', ';
    endwhile;
    ?>
    </td>
    </tr>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($_loop !== null) : ?>
    <tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?>>
    <td class="topic"><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?>
    <?php forum_description();?><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>
    <td class="num"><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>
    <td class="num"><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>
    </tr>
    <?php endif; endwhile; ?>

    Thanks,

    You'd have to do a custom mysql call to get the total but yes it is possible.

    Would love to see an admin option for this in the next release though not a priority given you can stay on top of proper tagging which will provide a similar categorization effect.
