What does it do?

This Addon allows you to have Question and Answer Forums. It changes the statistics that are shown in forumbit.
Normally, vBulletin shows the total number of posts in a forum, i.e. evey post in a forum is counted. If you have a question/answers forum, this addon changes the phrase "Posts" to "Replies" and the phrase "Threads" to "Questions". It also subtracts the first posts from the total of posts inside a forum, so the statistics show only replies.

See screenshots:
There are the forumbits of two forums in the screenshots. In the first screenshot, the addon is activated for the upper one, in the second screenshot it is deactivated.

Installation

Install the product file in your Product Manager. Done.

Template edits

If you want to replace the phrases "Threads" and "Posts", you need to do the following template edits (if you're using Andreas' Template Modification System, you can skip this):

In template forumhome_forumbit_level2_post search for

Code:

{vb:rawphrase threads}

replace with

Code:

<vb:if condition="$forum[cel_replycount]">{vb:rawphrase cel_replycount_replacethreads}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase threads}</vb:if>

Directly below in the same template, replace

Code:

{vb:rawphrase posts}

with

Code:

<vb:if condition="$forum[cel_replycount]">{vb:rawphrase cel_replycount_replaceposts}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase posts}</vb:if>

Configuration

Under AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Cel Question & Answer Forums you can

set the addon to work for all forums, then exclude single forums by forumid
