Hello,
I'm wondering which is the most efficient way to retrieve the number of views and replies of a given topic (from id_topic).
Should i run a query for this or is there a function to do this for me? If yes, which?
Thanks.
It depends on where you are doing it.
Topic info is available when you are in topic context (ie, displaying topic posts or in MessageIndex). If you need it outside that context, you need to grab it from the DB with $smcFunc['db_query']
Ok thanks!
