Hack Support

This hack is obsolete and has now been discontinued, as it has now been integrated into my Banned Members Log hack - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates, nor will support be provided as the thread is no longer monitored.

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.

vBulletin Version Compatibility

This hack can be used with v3.6.10 and v3.7.x. This has not been tested with earlier versions of v3.6.x, but should work.

What Does This Hack Do?

This simple hack will alter the total member count on your forum's homepage to exclude all banned members, you can optionally show the banned member count.

This hack was created because I liked the idea of this hack by Alan @ CIT, and as it was in the Modification Graveyard I had rewrite it from scratch, and I have added the option to display the banned member count (as this hack calculates it, so thought I would display that as well).

There are no file or template changes at all and is fully phrased. This generates 1 extra query on the forum homepage only.

Installation Instructions

1. Import ms_membercount_ex_banned.xml into vB using the AdminCP Product Manager. If upgrading then set Allow Overwrite to Yes.
2. In vBulletin Options > Total Member Count Excluding Banned Members. You can select if you want to display the banned member count (this is disabled by default). You can also turn this hack on or off.

Note: If you want to change the word Banned to a different word or language, you will need to edit the banned phrase.

Uninstall Instructions

1. Uninstall the product in vB using the AdminCP Product Manager.
