How do I display the number of posts a member has in Index.template?

[Biology Forums]

I'm trying

Code Select Expand

echo $context['user']['posts'];

But it's not working.

Code Select Expand



$message['member']['posts']



Make sure $message is globalized.

Code Select Expand



$message['member']['posts']



Make sure $message is globalized.

Didn't work, I even globalized Global $message;

cant remember exactly where but I remember doing this a few years ago I needed to modify Load.php but this was when 1.0 was the main version so unsure if that is still needed

Hmm, don't know why that doesn't work. 

This does -

Code Select Expand



$user_info['posts']



Globalize $user_info.

You need to globalize $user_info and echo $user_info['posts']

Works the same for 1.1 and 2.0

Why doesn't $message['member']['posts'] work?  Is the query not made until display template loads?

[margarett]

$message only exists when viewing a topic, methinks.

Yes, Krash.

Thanks all.
