Redirect boards?

Hi, this is the code I use for my boardindex.template.php:

Code Select Expand

function template_main()
{
   global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $scripturl, $modSettings;
   echo '<table class="collapse"><tr><td valign="top" align="left">';
   //Display ads on the board index

      if(!empty($ads))
         if($ads['type']==0)
            echo $ads['content'];
         else
            eval($ads['content']);
      unset($ads);
   }

What part do I have to edit so that if I have a board that redirects to a site it says the no. of redirects instead of no. of replies???

What part do I have to edit so that if I have a board that redirects to a site it says the no. of redirects instead of no. of replies???

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. I'm running 2.0b3.1 and I've got one category section set up as a redirect to my contact form. The forum index shows the number of redirects, how many times somebody has taken the link to my contact form.

It should be the same if you redirect to any URL. How is this different from what you want to do? If it's the same then all you need to do is configure your section for redirection. No bit mashing required.

But I must misunderstand, and apologize for that. It can't be that simple, can it?

[Angelotus]

No it can't. I have a modified version of boardindex.template.php
Please take a look at http://forum.weeklyfun.nl
In the category 'Algemeen' there is a board called 'WF Galery' wich is redirected to the galery. Next to the description of the boards you see in the column 'Topics' it says 0 (zero) and in the column 'Posts' it says the nr of redirects. I want instead of 2 columns i want 1 column with the nr of redirects and the actual word 'redirect'.

[Deprecated]

I'm sorry. The theme is too different from what I'm used to, and the language poses a problem for me. In the default theme I have just one column for posts and topics, and in my forwarded board it just says "nnn redirects" where nnn is the number.

I'm going to just confuse us both and waste your time, so I hope a more experienced person will come along and help your topic soon!

[Angelotus]

Thanks for replying anyway!

[metallica48423]

can you post your BoardIndex.template.php?

[Angelotus]

yes, see code in first post

[Rumbaar]

As this is a default feature of 2.x, why don't you look at the default CORE BoardIndex.template.php file and see how it's done there?
