Posting/PM Word Count

[Chris]

Insertion into the contents of the post requires a pattern created by the user making the post so at submission time that pattern is replaced by a last minute the count. That pattern defaults to "%wc#" but can be changed as a regex on the advanced tab in the "Post Pattern" field.
If you are trying to get it to be persistent outside the contents of a post however (e.g. via layout rather than inside a post) then that is not how it was designed to work and will not work since it will be lost the moment the page refreshes. Post content is saved on Proboards' server and displayed the next time but changes made dynamically to user interface (templates) will only last as long as your browser holds on to them.

Hmmmmm you created the ability for me years ago, it has worked for me for years on my other site and now this one. I can attempt to find where you originally created the ability for me and get back to you. I don't remember if it's in this thread or if I made a separate one, so I'll check my created threads first

EDIT: It still works on my old forum, apparently. Screenshot of it working on there:


new one just says "0" >.> I'll see if the old site has something this one doesn't

[Chris]

Please do.
I have no recollection of this or how it would be implemented without some sort of storage elsewhere to have it persisted which this plugin does not possess

Found it! You made a separate second plugin for me for it to work. Pffft. My bad. Ignore me lol

Want me to export it to you?

[Chris]

If I made it then I already have it stored somewhere but thanks

Well, it still works on my old site, but not on my new one, so who knows what's up with it lol. (Later edit: figured out it's because it doesn't cooperate with an Alternate ID set up in the word counter itself, it works if that is removed) But anyway, it's called "Word Count in Layout" if that helps you locate it in your storage. You're welcome :)

EDIT: You can look at alcryst.forums.net if you want a site it is functioning on

is there not a way to make it so the "words" isnt at the bottom like that?

Sorry if it has been explained before I tried searching through the posts and didn't see anything.

Good evening, Chris

I've been stumped on this for a while and have looked everywhere I could but couldn't find any answers on this. I get the feeling I'll have to jig around with the JavaScript to get this to work, but is it possible to get the WordCount plugin to give money automatically per X number of words without having to make a bunch of fields with the Bonus Setting?

i.e. I want the system to give 10 money per 10 words. Right now it is set as such:

10 Words = 10 Money
20 words = 20 Money
30 Words = 30 Money
40 Words = 40 Money
etc., etc.

Thank you.

You can accomplish this linear behaviour if you set the money to 1 in the monetary plugin (thread, quickreply, etc.) then set the mode to "proportional" in the word count plugin with a single "1 word = 1 Money" entry in word ranks

EDIT:

You should however note that if you have a minimum limit in place then the calculation is done on the amount above that limit.

For example, if a minimum of 10 words is applied to the board, category, thread or entire forum and someone makes a post of 18 words then 8 words will be used for the payout calculation. With the recommended $1 per post set in the monetary plugin and the word counter plugin setup to award an amount for every "1 word" then the poster would get a total of $8. If no limits were in effect then that poster would get $18 for 18 words and so on.

Hey Chris,

I help run a roleplay site and we use the plugin so that when people are roleplaying they are actually giving desent-sized responses and not say one-liners that give you nothing to work with. There is no minimum set for the rest of the site but when the plugin is active non-admin accounts are finding themselves unable to edit posts without reloading to page/me disabling the plugin.

Any ideas for a fix we can try?

I've tried the three different sites that I found in your posting history and none gave me an installed plugin that I could study for configuration and interaction with other modifications that may have been applied to the forum. If requiring assistance please post a forum URL or PM it to me if you wish to keep it private.
