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.
