Question [Merged topic] When the number of views or replies is greater than 9999 ...

Hi.


On the home page of my forum (Kunena 1.6 stable), when it comes to the 9999 responses shows 10.00k replies.

It is more logical to display 10000 replies?

Any idea?

Hi this a space thing for larger forums.

10,000 or 50,000 or 100,000 or 500,000 or 1,000,000 wont fit into the same space as 4 digits would.

Therefore Kunena 1.6 has a formatting engine that always reduces to 4 significant digits.

The output becomes 10.00k, 50.00k, 100.0k, 500.0k, 1.000m, 10.00m, 100.0m (k and m being part of the translation file for thousand and million).

This makes sure the template does not break, just because these numbers get too big.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply fxstein, I understand the reasons.

Greetings.

Is there anyway to fix this so it displays the entire number on the category listing page? Right now, it lists the number of replies in the category as "10.48k replies"

I want it to display as "10,480 replies" Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

Ryan, the answer is given above.

Thanks Sozzled. That does make sense..but I have to ask: do you give the option to display it as 10,000?

What option were you looking to find? Kunena, as you already know, can be changed. Somewhere in the source code there will be a conditional statement that says, if the number of replies is greater than 9999 divide that number by 1000 and put a K after it. But I haven't dug into at the source code to find where that statement is. That's something you can do.

Okay, I have no idea where to find that in the source code unfortunately. I will try to look at it but Kunena has hundreds of files to look through...

You will find the coding that changes the number forum in ../component/com_kunena/class.kunena.php - from around line 656, look for the function formatLargeNumber($number, $precision = 4)

Each time you upgrade Kunena you will have to remember to change this file.

Thanks again Sozzled! Here is what I changed:

open components/com_kunena/class.kunena.php


1) Next find this code:

} elseif ($number >= 1000000) {
$output = $number / 1000000 . JText::_('COM_KUNENA_MILLION');
} else {
$output = $number / 1000 . JText::_('COM_KUNENA_THOUSAND');
}




2) Next, replace it with this:

} elseif ($number >= 1000000) {
$output = $number;
} else {
$output = $number;
}
