Remove certain boards from accumulating site totals

[Niomi]

Hi,

Apologies if this isn't the right section (feel free to move it) but I was wondering if there was a code available that doesn't remove the post count from accumulating on a members profile, but instead prevents it from accumulating the site's total post count. I have a lot of members who like to work on templates on an extra board and I know I can disable them from gaining post counts but I was wondering if it's possible to prevent the board from contributing to the total post count of the site.

I hope that makes sense, thanks in advance.

Hi Niomi,

I assume you want the "Total Posts" in the info center to reflect the post total minus the "extra board" you have. if so:

Go To:

Admin >> Themes >> Layout Templates >> Home

find this:

Total Posts: $[total_posts]

and replace it with this:


<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- document.write('Total Posts: '+Math.round($[total_posts]-{foreach $[category]}{foreach $[category.board]}{if $[category.board.id]=="11"}$[category.board.posts]{/if}{/foreach}{/foreach})+''); --> </script>

edit the BOLD with the board id who's posts you wish to exclude, to find the board id look at the url of the board and put the number that comes after "/board/", like this board:

support.proboards.com/board/45/templates

the board id is "45"

You made this wonderful code for me way back, I was wondering if it was possible to add multiple IDs to do the same thing?

If you still need this, give this modification a go:

<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- document.write('Total Posts: '+Math.round($[total_posts]-{foreach $[category]}{foreach $[category.board]}{if $[category.board.id] =="11" || $[category.board.id.] == "newid"}$[category.board.posts]{/if}{/foreach}{/foreach})+''); --> </script>

the || $[category.board.id] == "newid" should work; make sure to put a space between the last ID and the ||. Repeat as needed. (:

would you perhaps be able to assist me in figuring out why the code isn't working for me? It looks like simply nothing is showing up when I enter it into my Home layout template.

I have this for the thread total:

<script type="text/javascript">  document.write('Threads: '+Math.round($[total_threads]-{foreach $[category]}{foreach $[category.board]}{if $[category.board.id] =="152" || $[category.board.id.] == "154" || $[category.board.id.] == "85" || $[category.board.id.] == "105"}$[category.board.threads]{/if}{/foreach}{/foreach})+'');  </script>

And this for the post total:

<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- document.write('Posts: '+Math.round($[total_posts]-{foreach $[category]}{foreach $[category.board]}{if $[category.board.id] =="152" || $[category.board.id.] == "154" || $[category.board.id.] == "85" || $[category.board.id.] == "105"}$[category.board.posts]{/if}{/foreach}{/foreach})+''); --> </script>

I tried removing the <!-- and --> but that didn't work. Any clue what I did wrong?
