Post Counter Mod
carried over from my original post here
requires only 2 modifications done in topic.asp and I got
the idea from a feature I liked that Vbulletin and possibly
other boards offer.
As far as I know and from my orginal post requesting it,
it didnt exist for snitz until now thanks to laser
for the coding and tremendous help fine tuning it. The
location of where it displays is my own coding.  w00t! w00t!
What does it do?
this mod allows the counting of posts within the posts themselves,
and puts a small (Post #xxxxx) in upper right hand corner of each
individual post and counts accurately through however many pages
you may have.
example screenshot
Alterations to topic.asp
1. find this bit of code (somewhere around line 930)
if Request.QueryString("SearchTerms") <> "" then
Response.Write SearchHiLite(formatStr(Reply_Content))
else
directly above that, add this line:
Response.Write " <div align=""right""><table cellspacing=""0"" cellpadding=""3"" border=""0""><tr><td align=""center""><font face=""Verdana, Tahoma, Arial"" size=""1"">(Post #" & (iForum+2) + (mypage-1) * strPageSize & ")</font><br /><br /></td></tr></table></div>"
so that it now looks like:
Response.Write " <div align=""right""><table cellspacing=""0"" cellpadding=""3"" border=""0""><tr><td align=""center""><font face=""Verdana, Tahoma, Arial"" size=""1"">(Post #" & (iForum+2) + (mypage-1) * strPageSize & ")</font><br /><br /></td></tr></table></div>"
if Request.QueryString("SearchTerms") <> "" then
Response.Write SearchHiLite(formatStr(Topic_Message))
else
next, find this bit of code (somewhere around line 1240)
if Request.QueryString("SearchTerms") <> "" then
Response.Write SearchHiLite(formatStr(Topic_Message))
else
directly above that, add this line:
Response.Write " <div align=""right""><table cellspacing=""0"" cellpadding=""3"" border=""0""><tr><td align=""center""><font face=""Verdana, Tahoma, Arial"" size=""1"">(Post #1)</font><br /><br /></td></tr></table></div>"
so that it now looks like:
Response.Write " <div align=""right""><table cellspacing=""0"" cellpadding=""3"" border=""0""><tr><td align=""center""><font face=""Verdana, Tahoma, Arial"" size=""1"">(Post #1)</font><br /><br /></td></tr></table></div>"
if Request.QueryString("SearchTerms") <> "" then
Response.Write SearchHiLite(formatStr(Reply_Content))
else
thanks again to laser for the asp coding and I hope you
find it useful for your forum.

Enigma I had the post count thing done a while ago. I missed the your post about it. But all is well because laser came up with something easier than mine ( I missed iforum  ). Well anyway I was at site point forums the other day and got to looking at theirs and seeing what it does (site point is what gave me the idea for the post count in the first place  ). Theirs is a link to a single post view. I couldn't understand why anyone would want a single post view ,except for maybe a screen shot. I thought about a printer friendy post for a link, so I spent the last 2 days getting it together as a mod. You beat me to it . As soon as I find a place to put the .zip I'll be releasing mine. It's got a few extras that you might want .
p.s. You might want to look at your instructions above, they look kinda weird . |

this is as plain and simple as it probably gets, just
shows the count in upper right corner - no bells/whitsles 
I'd like to see your version of it though when released.
btw, what is weird about the above directions? I tried to make
it as understandable as I could |

Where you've got "so it looks like this", I think you've got the topic and reply flip-flopped. |

I will take a look at your mod and on the
flip flopped oddity, check your topic.asp against
my instructions you'll see the reply section
comes before the topic which I did find kinda odd myself |

sorry to ask dumb questions, but does it give the postnumber in thát topic, or the postnumber by that member ?
So for instance this post would be my 387ed post, however the 7th in this topic. |
portfolio - linkshrinker - oxle - twitter |

this just counts posts in sequence and has nothing to do with
how many posts a certain user may have in total.
you might get a better idea seeing it in action on my site?
>> here
btw cripto9t, yours is very similar although I didnt look
to deep, and I guess some could use the printer link but is
not needed on my forums. Also you mentioned yours begins with
post #2 whereas mine doesnt, mine actually does begin on post #2
while post #1 is hardcoded for convienence
EDIT: I was just informed of exactly what my error was above in
trying to display how to do this mod. It has now been fixed in the
original post above. You were right cripto9t and thanks weeweeslap
for pointing out exactly what it was. |

Thats cool, I don't need the printer friendy either . Before the
printer thing I was using it as a link to Hamlins Who Posted mod
That was pretty nice to.
I'm just putting out a few ideas for people. I think its a nice mod . |

| Any way to make it possible for someone to link to that post within the forum? Sort of like a mix between this and the printer friendly post mod, I guess. |

Do you mean like a pop-up window with the complete url in it?
If so I'm working on it. I think the last post code provides a solution.

I finally got this working, an ampersand was throwing me off  .
Anyway it seems to work allright.
I haven't tested on an archived post, so if anyone tests this out try an achived post.
Note: For this to work you have to have the correct forum URL in "admin options" > "main forum config."
In "topic.asp"
- put this link in the "replies" part.
Response.Write " <a href=""JavaScript:openWindowHelp('pop_url.asp?" & ArchiveLink & "method=Reply&whichpage=" & myPage & "&REPLY_ID=" & Reply_ReplyID & "&TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID & "')"">test</a>" & vbNewLine & _
- put this one in "getFirst sub" for the topic.
Response.Write " <a href=""JavaScript:openWindowHelp('pop_url.asp?" & ArchiveLink & "method=Topic&TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID & "')"">test</a>" & vbNewLine & _
- Finally copy and save this code as "pop_url.asp"
