The ACCURATE Total Posts in Ultimate.cgi
(Sorry, Dave#!)  :)

This gets ALL the posts in all 'on' forums.

Copy all the following code;

##
## Start ACCURATE total posts
##
@allforums = &OpenForumsFile;
@forums = @blank;

#make sure only open forums are listed in @forums
foreach $ifopen(@allforums) {
chomp($ifopen);
@checkit = split(/\|/, $ifopen);
if ($checkit[3] eq "On") {
	push (@forums, $ifopen);
}
}

for $each(@forums) {

@thisforuminfo = split(/\|/, $each);
chomp($thisforuminfo[8]);
$x = "$thisforuminfo[8]";

if ($thisforuminfo[6] eq "private") {
	$ExactPath = "Forum$x/private-$thisforuminfo[7]";
}  else {
	$ExactPath = "Forum$x";
}


my @data = &OpenFile("$ForumsPath/$ExactPath/lastnumber.file");

$TotalTopics = $data[1];
chomp($TotalTopics);
$TotalPosts = $data[2];
chomp($TotalPosts);

if ($TotalTopics eq "") {
	$TotalTopics = "0";
	}
	
if ($TotalPosts eq "") {
	$TotalPosts = "0";
	}

$AbsTopics = $AbsTopics + $TotalTopics;
$AbsPosts = $AbsPosts + $TotalPosts;
}
## 
## End ACCURATE total posts
##


And paste it in Ultimate.cgi ABOVE:

print <<INTROHTML;
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>$BBName - powered by the Ultimate Bulletin Board</title>


You can then refer to $AbsTopics and $AbsPosts anywhere below that line.
