the problem & context

the problem: us humans can't count as well as robots, so trades are susceptible to human error. lets try to mitigate this error!

the solution: after adding a trade in your etcg, see how many cards are on both sides of the trade

caveats: doesn't work when there are 0 cards on a side (it'll count as there being default 1).

the mod

example output:

in your own etcg mods page (if you have one? this is NOT in your normal mods.php file, but within the /etcg/ directory) put this

function tradecardcounter($counttradecards) {
//$counttradecards = trim($counttradecards);
//$counttradecards = stripslashes($counttradecards);
//$counttradecards = htmlspecialchars($counttradecards);
$counttradecards = str_replace(';',',',$counttradecards);
$counttradecards = explode(',',$counttradecards);
    $cardcount = count($counttradecards);
    echo $cardcount;
}

then within your /etcg/trades.php page, find these and change them

find:

<i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-up"></i> Trading Cards

change to:

<i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-up"></i> Trading Cards <?php $counttradecards = $row['giving'] ?>(<?php tradecardcounter($counttradecards); ?>)

find:

<i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down"></i> Receiving Cards
