Total Posts - Total Threads - Members Online in a neat box on your front page

[Shadow]

I build a little tidy box on my forum front page to show a few stats to visitors and members.

I think it is a cool little feature that you can play around with and come up with your own little variations.

Here is the basic code to do the above - You may want to place it on all pages or just your index/front page.

First off you will need to find global.php in your main forum file manager.

Then place this code: $stats = $cache->read("stats");

at the bottom of global.php before ?>

after that this is the basic code to add into your current template via your ACP

(I place it in the Forum Display Templates/forumdisplay under the welcomeblock)

Code:

<table border="0">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="black"><font color ="white"{$usersbrowsing}

<div>Total Posts: {$stats['numposts']}, in Total Threads: {$stats['numthreads']}. </font color></font color></div></td>
</table>

You can add other stats such as the total amount of visitors via your cgi script in cpanel or a widget that gives you hitcounts.

Hope this helps.

Looks like a neat piece of code.

Looks nice I am going to try it out in my new theme. Lets see if it fits

Thanks it works great if you want to display your stats anywhere on the page.

You can fit the table with new rows or columns and add a hits stat, multipage, ads whatever you want oh and tinker with the BGcolor for added effect.

It's missing a </tr> tag just before the closing </table> tag.

Looks great, you should share this code around a bit so a wider range of MyBB users have access to it, or you can just promote this forum Either way looks really good, keep up the good work
