    • Posted 3 years ago #

    can anybody a solution to count the subforums and give this counting to the forum.

    - Forum ( Subforum+Subforum2 = 3 topics | 25 posts )
    - Subforum ( 1 topic | 5 posts ) < + 2 ( 2 topics | 20 posts ) = 3 topics | 25 posts
    - Subforum2 ( 2 topics | 20 posts )

    update: there is a better version a few posts down

    I had worked this out this quick and dirty routine but then I realized you might mean not to show it within the forum list. If you mean something different let me know.

    In front-page.php

    Change

    <?php  while ( bb_forum() ) :  ?>


    to

    <?php
forum_totals("init");
while ( bb_forum() ) :
forum_totals();
?>

    and then this after the end of the forum list routine

    <?php  endwhile;  ?>

    to this

    <?php
endwhile;
forum_totals("finish");
?>


    This is the main function you can just drop at the bottom of front-page.php

    <?php
function forum_totals($x="") {
static $last_parent,$total_posts,$total_topics,$all_topics,$all_posts,$total_counter,$all_counter;
if (function_exists('bb_get_forum_is_category')) {$category=bb_get_forum_is_category();} else {$category=false;}
if ($x=="init") {$last_parent=false;  $total_topics=0; $total_posts=0; $all_topics=0; $all_posts=0; $total_counter=0; $all_counter=0; return;}
if ($x=="finish" || $last_parent!==$GLOBALS['forum']->forum_parent || $category) {
	if ($last_parent!==false && $total_counter>1) {echo "<tr><td align='right'>$total_counter subforums:</td><td class='num'>$total_topics</td><td class='num'>$total_posts</td></tr>";}
	$last_parent=$GLOBALS['forum']->forum_parent; $total_topics=$GLOBALS['forum']->topics; $total_posts=$GLOBALS['forum']->posts;
	$total_counter=0;
} else {$total_topics+= (int) $GLOBALS['forum']->topics; $total_posts+=(int) $GLOBALS['forum']->posts;}
$all_topics+= (int) $GLOBALS['forum']->topics; $all_posts+=(int) $GLOBALS['forum']->posts;
if ($x=="finish") {echo "<tr><td align='right'>$all_counter total forums:</td><td class='num'>$all_topics</td><td class='num'>$all_posts</td></tr>";}
elseif ($category) {$last_parent=false;} else {$all_counter++; $total_counter++; }
}
?>

    Okay if you want something simple you can make this into a mini-plugin:

    (call it forum-totals.php)

    <?php
/*
Plugin Name: Forum Totals
*/

function forum_totals() {
	global $forum_id;
	$forum = get_forum( $forum_id ); 	$topics=$forum->topics; $posts=$forum->posts;
	$forums=get_forums(array('child_of' => $forum_id));   $count=0;
	if ($forums) {foreach ($forums as $forum) {$count++; $topics+=$forum->topics; $posts+=$forum->posts;}}
	echo "<tr style='background:#ccc;'><td align='right'>$count total forums:</td><td class='num'>$topics</td><td class='num'>$posts</td></tr>";
}

function forum_topics_including_subforums( $forum_id = 0 ) {
	echo apply_filters( 'forum_topics', get_forum_topics_including_subforums( $forum_id ), $forum_id );
}

function forum_posts_including_subforums( $forum_id = 0 ) {
	echo apply_filters( 'forum_posts', get_forum_posts_including_subforums( $forum_id ), $forum_id );
}

function get_forum_topics_including_subforums( $forum_id = 0 ) {
	$forum_id=get_forum_id( $forum_id );
	$forum = get_forum( $forum_id ); $topics=$forum->topics;
	$forums=get_forums(array('child_of' => $forum_id));
	if ($forums) {foreach ($forums as $forum) {$topics+=$forum->topics;}}
	return apply_filters( 'get_forum_topics', $topics, $forum_id );
}

function get_forum_posts_including_subforums( $forum_id = 0 ) {
	$forum_id=get_forum_id( $forum_id );
	$forum = get_forum( $forum_id ); $posts=$forum->posts;
	$forums=get_forums(array('child_of' => $forum_id));
	if ($forums) {foreach ($forums as $forum) {$posts+=$forum->posts;}}
	return apply_filters( 'get_forum_posts', $posts, $forum_id );
}
?>


    Install and activate it and then you need to put
    <?php forum_totals(); ?>
    anywhere you want to see it, on front-page.php or forum.php templates.

    It should go between the endwhile and the </table>

    Like this:

    <?php  endwhile; ?>
<?php forum_totals(); ?>
</table>


    To use the replacement functions for forum_topics() and forum_posts() which include the totals for a forum including it's subforums, simply replace them in your templates with forum_topics_including_subforums(); and forum_posts_including_subforums();
