Hello, this may be just to hard or something… but what I am trying to do is in the topic.php put the reply number in the topic meta.

Like reply #2 on the second reply and reply #3 on the third and so on

How can you?

This might give you some hints:

[@singene Member 13 years, 10 months ago]

sweet thanks! But, I tried the code, and looks like what big jimmysisco said, it only works on the first page.

How can you add this to all pages?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 13 years, 10 months ago]

I’ve amended the code on the other forum thread.

Please post subsequent replies on that thread and not this one to prevent forking.

Thanks!

[@singene Member 13 years, 10 months ago]

ok, now I got that.

I’m sort of trying to figure out how to display the number count. Any hints on to get the count? Is it in the $bp->global?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 13 years, 10 months ago]

Try the $topic_template global variable. Particularly $topic_template->current_post.

[@singene Member 13 years, 10 months ago]

I’m not that advanced… ??: <?php topic_template_current_post_ID ?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 13 years, 10 months ago]

`global $topic_template;

echo $topic_template->current_post;`

[@singene Member 13 years, 10 months ago]

oops sorry, is this “forking?”

[@r-a-y Keymaster 13 years, 10 months ago]

It’s slightly different, so I’ll allow it

[@singene Member 13 years, 10 months ago]

O boy , it works great.

But, now heres the thing. On each page, the count starts back at one. I want it to keep going.

Sorry, and also, on the second page and so on, it does not count the first post.

Aaaarg!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 13 years, 10 months ago]

Try:

`function my_not_first_post() {
global $topic_template;

$current_page = $topic_template->pag_page – 1;
$post_position = $current_page * $topic_template->pag_num + $topic_template->current_post;
if ( 0 != $post_position ) {
// do your business here… eg.
echo ‘Re: ‘;
echo $post_position;
}

}`

[@singene Member 13 years, 10 months ago]

Getting there… but now each count is going up by 8, and each page starts at 8. So close!

Reply #8

Reply #16

[@r-a-y Keymaster 13 years, 10 months ago]

Amended again!

[@singene Member 13 years, 10 months ago]

Now it starts at 16 on every page, and goes up by 1.

r-a-y, you’ve helped me so much, if you want some donation or something i’ll do it

[@r-a-y Keymaster 13 years, 10 months ago]

Amended again! Should work now as I’ve actually tested it this time
