How to Display User’s Total Post Count in Each Post?

[Patchesx (Philipp)]

Hi Discourse Support Team,

I’m currently running a Discourse forum and I’d like to display the total number of posts a user has made directly in each post they create. Ideally, this should appear next to the username or under the avatar in the post view.

I’ve checked the settings under Admin > Settings > Users and Post Menu Hidden Items, but I couldn’t find an option like user_stats or post_count. I also tried customizing the theme with a poster-name:after widget and JavaScript API, but the post_count attribute doesn’t seem to be available.

Is there a built-in way to enable this, or do I need a plugin or specific API call? Any guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Philipp

How to show user total post count beside name

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I’m wondering how the Blizzard forum shows the total post count of a user besides their name. [image] I’ve implemented something similar in my forum by using the Discourse API system like below [image] But I believe there are better ways of doing this. I’m also planning to show the user badge etc. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you.

There seems to be some interest in this. Not sure what the path is to making GitHub - markschmucker/discourse-custom-post-display an official plugin.

We use GitHub - communiteq/discourse-custom-post-display which @michaeld wrote for us years ago. It shows the joined date, number of posts, and number of likes.
