Inserting ID’s to every posts in a thread. Like 1,2,3,4 …
-
Something got wrong when I tried to post this, here it is again.
I would like to see post in every thread with a visible ID like: 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. starting from the top. Many members like to reference a post by simply writing “To #3 bla bla….” and this would be the third post in the thread.
I tried to simply do math in topics.php
Like:
`<li id="post-” class=””>
<a href="#post-” title=””>#`
The function where the ID comes from would be:
` function mip_startnum() {
global $topic_template;
$start_num = intval( ( $topic_template->pag_page – 1 ) * $topic_template->pag_num ) + 1;
$from_num = bp_core_number_format( $start_num );
return $from_num;
}`You would think everything would be fine, wouldn’t ya?
But if a member deletes his or her own post all the other posts gets bumbed and the logic is screwed up. So I’m thinking the way might be to somehow insert a ID into every post and then output them with the content. This way it wouldn’t matter if someone deleted a single post in a thread since the ID’s are all hard coded into the individual posts.But I’m not that good at coding and at lost to where to begin, help anyone?
