XF 2.2 Changing statistic data

[the1]

I am currently transitioning my forum from another forum to XenForo and unfortunately I will not be able to transfer the database (there is no importer). I am obviously aware that I will not be able to import posts etc., however, I am wondering whether I can adjust the "Forum Statistics" widget to start counting from number X?

Number X being the total number of posts on my current forum.

You can ask developers here to create a custom converter...if you have the cash for it. It will not be cheap.

What is the original software?

@MySiteGuy may have something.

Unfortunately, I do not think it will be possible at all - it's a ProBoards forum.

I'd be happy with just modifying the forum statistics if that's possible?

It doesn't make much sense and no-one will care but if you really want to do it, edit the widget_forum_statistics template and change this:

<dd>{$forumStatistics.messages|number}</dd>

To this:

<dd>{{ ($forumStatistics.messages + 1000000)|number }}</dd>

Change the 1000000 value as required.

Thanks Brogan - I agree, but some of our members will appreciate the slight continuity.
