i’m looking for a way to use the same output like in wp for the comments like:

<?php comments_popup_link('no comments', 'one comment', ' % comments'); ?> instead of <?php forum_topics(); ?> <?php _e('post(s) or comment(s)'); ?> .

so is there a php pendant in bbpress to count comments or posts the wordpress way?

thank’s in advance

Hi,

I see this template and function in all the WP themes, how does this work in wordpress?

Knowing this it might be possible fro bbpress too…

In WordPress, comments_popup_link() takes three arguments that tell it how to format the output based on how many comments are present and runs a sprintf() with the appropriate output after retrieving the comment count.

The equivalent to get_comments_number in bbPress would be get_topic_posts, the rest of the function is either WordPress-specific or would need slight tweaking (like what the posts page would actually be).

Something like:

function posts_number( $id = 0, $zero = false, $one = false, $more = false ) { // Port of WP's comments_number

$topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $id ) );

$number = $topic->topic_posts;



if ( $number > 1 )

$output = str_replace('%', bb_number_format_i18n($number), ( false === $more ) ? __('% Posts') : $more);

elseif ( $number == 0 )

$output = ( false === $zero ) ? __('No Posts') : $zero;

else // must be one

$output = ( false === $one ) ? __('1 Post') : $one;



echo apply_filters('posts_number', $output, $number);

}

should work I think. Misread the original question slightly.

you guys should be rewarded as the estimated inventory of the bbpress community, kudos

btw, thank’s for the “whole” code and your precision in your replies kawauso, i’ll keep that in mind.
