How to get the users post count on (costum) page

[Pipke]

Like the title says, how to get how many posts they made on the forum. The code is on Display.template.php but i want it to use it for a costum page.
tryed:

Code Select Expand

<li class="postcount">', $txt['member_postcount'], ': ', $message['member']['posts'], '</li>
<li class="postcount">', $txt['member_postcount'], ': ', $context['user']['posts'], '</li>';
both show nothing, i guess the costum page isnt loading Load.php?


also cannot get it from the SSI file with

Code Select Expand

print_r($context['user']);

so is there some quick way in smf to get it?

no... everything uses load.php...  what the problem is is that $message is only defined when display and a few other templates are loaded...

and even the post count in content is not always filled...


so - no...  there is no "quick way" you have to pull it form the database

$user_info['posts'] contains the post count of the current user, not formatted wth commas or anything.

Make sure you declare it as global, and you should be good to go (and wrap it as comma_format($user_info['posts']) if you want the comma in there)

Doh! So focused on context, I forgot about user_info..

Good call Arantor.
