Adding custom text for 0 votes and 0 answers?

Question

We are showing number of votes and answers in question list page and question page.
Is it possible to change the 0 votes to "Be firest to vote" and 0 answer to "be first to to answer"?

Answer 1

You'd need to use an advanced HTML theme for this sort of thing. The code to put in your theme's qa-theme.php file would be something like this:

class qa_html_theme extends qa_html_theme_base
{

    function vote_count($post)
    {
        if ($post['netvotes_raw']==0)
            $this->output('MY SPECIAL THING FOR ZERO VOTES');
        else
            qa_html_theme_base::vote_count($post);
    }

   
    function a_count($post)
    {
        if (isset($post['answers']) && ($post['answers']['data']==0))
            $this->output('MY SPECIAL THING FOR ZERO ANSWERS');
        else
            qa_html_theme_base::a_count($post);
    }

}
