Recount Posts Maintenance

Link to Mod

This mod will add a link to common tasks to recalculate forum member post counts. This can be useful if you change a board's count posts setting or just want to make sure your post counts are accurate.

Don't we already have this?

Eliana Tamerin · March 24, 2008, 08:59:16 AM

I thought so too. Or does this work differently than "Recount all forum totals and statistics"?

"Recount all forum totals and statistics" does not update the member's post counts. It does all the other forum statistics like posts / topics per board, etc.

Oooh. 'Tis a shame it doesn't.

Thanks for this feature, then.

The reason is recounting member posts is resource intensive for a large board. It has to go through the message table for each member and count the number of posts.

We still have a mod that does this exact same thing.

Not for SMF 2.0. Plus that mod can time out of large boards. Mine takes advantage of new feature in SMF 2 to do a 150 members at a time then reload the page and continue.

Does this mode take in consideration the boards in which user's posts aren't added into statistic?

Yes it does

Nice work. Thanks.

One more question: if mod increase/decrease user's post count, will it change user's group based on posts count?

Eliana Tamerin · April 08, 2008, 05:53:48 PM

Very likely that it will.

Yes it will. There is no way to tell if the mod changed the post count. The mod just counts all the posts for boards with post counts enabled and adjusts the members post count to match.

However you could just change that members post count back afterwards.

Thanks. Good work

Something wrong with my forum. I disabled post count on some boards but after running this task, the post count for members does not decrease....!

gerard · July 20, 2008, 02:24:42 PM

I've installed it, but I cannot find the option. Where is it?

PLAYBOY · October 27, 2008, 09:56:50 AM

PLAYBOY · October 28, 2008, 02:35:49 AM

However, it doesnt make any difference in my forum. The message count is still wrong. Mod didnt do any good in my forum. any help?

Is this available to SMF RC1?

Why this is not one default feature?
