Simple,come up with a solution for this question here
My name is Michael2014
all the info you need is on this thread, including the php for the plugin
http://community.mybb.com/thread-162661.html
basically is there any way I can call just the count of a particular fid
for example say my fid id was 48 for a category called music and it has 3 threads, so
maybe something like {$impforums_48_info['threads']} and it would show just the count like: 3
more Info,
I have a plugin for mybb called IMP forums,
it simply calls the thread count for any specified thread,
you will notice my question at the bottom of this thread as well,
this is the plugin's creator
here it is http://community.mybb.com/thread-150451.html
I am a level 3 buyer here.
Make sure it works is the only requirement.
If you have any questions, just ask.
i can change the row layout into the column layout.
