How to show the total number of discussions/comments ~including~ sub-categories

ESL_Thefly

Hi,

I've searched quite a lot, but couldn't find anything to fix this.

In the /categories/ views the X discussions, Y comments counter only show numbers of the first level -- everyone expect to have a total sum of all nested categories within. Atm it may even show "0 discussions 0 comments", altough there are plenty of comments within subcategories. Example: http://forum.eslgaming.com/categories/callofduty -- 0 for "Recruitment", but going into it, there are comments in
http://forum.eslgaming.com/categories/call-of-duty-recruitment

Anyway to change this behaviour?

Thanks!

I don't know if your counts are off because they are not updated, or because of the way you set things up.

look at this and see if that fixes your issue. reset counters.

if it doesn't fix your issue...

otherwise post your config.php (remove sensitive data, passwords, email, keys, etc).

so we can emulate and arrive at a solution possibly.

FWIW - child category count is reflected in parent on my test forum. In other words if I add a discussion to child category the discussion count is added to the parent as well.

Hi,

first, thanks for your answer!

@topic: Re-Calc did not fix the issue.

My config.php:

your version in config is 2.1b3 - is that just a remnant?

are you using vanilla 2.1.6

when you say re-Calc - do you mean dba/counts

if you disable the ExcludeCategories, does it fix your counts?

Hi,

again, thanks for your help!

-Version: I'm running 2.1.6, but the index.php, so was the version string in cfg. All updated now.

-re-Calc: Yes, I ran dba/counts ( and /utility/update and /utility/structure )

-ExcludeCategories: Disabled

Tried everything, still wrong/bugged comments counts. :-(
