How do I get a count of how many forums (and sub-forums) on the front page?

“Viewing ### total forums”

[@zaerl Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

<p>Viewing <?php echo get_total_forums() ?> forums</p>

Call to undefined function get_total_forums()

That’s a valid function in 1.0.2. What version are you using?

Version 1.0.2

[@zaerl Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

<?php

require_once( BB_PATH . BB_INC . 'functions.bb-statistics.php' );

echo '<p>Viewing ', get_total_forums(), 'forums</p>';

?>

Thanks! that works great. To go deeper into that code a code that does “forumS” for more than one and “forum” for just one?

[@chrishajer Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

So the functions in bb-includes are not included on the front end or something? Why would you need to include them again? Are they just admin functions?

$tf = get_total_forums();

printf(__ngettext('Viewing %d forum', 'Viewing %d forums', $tf), $tf);

functions.bb-statistics.php isn’t automatically included. The statistics.php file (https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/tags/1.0.2/statistics.php#L5) does include that file as well.
