GetDiscussionCount in DiscussionManager

edited April 2008 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
a bit technical question here: why does the Vanilla Discussion Manager (library/Vanilla/Vanilla.Class.DiscussionManager.php) gets the count of discussions in GetDiscussionCount (line 223-226) from a selected 'count' field and not from the function Context->Database->RowCount() ? because I'm grouping by DiscussionID, and the discussion list is grouped, but the discussion count is not. thanks for any insight

    From memory, I think its because GetDiscussionCount returns the count of ALL discussions, used for the paging control at the top and bottom wheras RowCount returns only the number of rows in the paged result set--however many fit on that page load.

    Yes, that is exactly what is going on.

    The Discussion Filters extension shows some good examples of how you can attach a single function to both delegates if you are trying to prune down the number of results
