Add post #'s

[democration]

Since it seems to have been removed from the old version, I'd like to request that the post # is implemented as an optional feature.

Hey democration, looks like I missed it. There is a template variable for this already, so I have moved the thread over to template modification so they can show you how to utilize the variable.

Apologies about that!

I asked for this, as I liked to have the reply number. This is what you have to do.  But it has to be added to ALL THEMES! 

To add “reply number”:

Admin > Themes > Layout Templates > Thread > Post List

Remove:
<span class="thread-link">$[post.thread]</span> Line 12
Replace with:
<span class="thread-link">$[post.thread]</span>
<span id="post-text-$[post.id]" class="post-method"></span>
<script type="text/Javascript">
{if $[post.index] == 0}
var post = { page: location.href.match(/page=(\d+)/)?RegExp.$1-0:1, index: 0 };
{/if}
var index = (post.page-1)*15 + post.index++;
if(!location.href.match(/(\?|\&)q=/) && proboards.data("route").name == "thread"){
$("#post-text-$[post.id]").html(index == 0?"Thread started on ":"Reply #"+index+" on ");
}
</script>

Thank you so much.

Note that the code is written for the default of 15 posts per page. So, if you have yours set to something else, you will need to change where it says "*15" to whatever number of posts you have your board set to.

[RedBassett]

There is a template variable for this, that shouldn't require JS to make work.

[Mands]

Sorry! I just posted it because it's what I had been using and my post numbers are set to default which is 15. If there is something better by all means point them in the right direction. I was just trying to help.

Mands - no, what you posted is just fine. I only pointed it out because when I put in the mod on my own board, I noticed it wasn't counting properly, and it was because my default is set to 30 per page. So I had to modify it to suit my board. That's all.

[Mands]

Thanks but I was more referring to RedBassett's comment than yours to be honest, but I can understand why that would mess up. I didn't think of the fact that some people could have different post numbers as I've never touched anything like that.
