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++; }

}

?>

my front-page.php http://pastebin.com/d117f4c3a

i want to countig all topics & posts

[@_ck_ Participant 16 years ago]

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();
