FAQ
Where is a good place to add the $forumdisplay_stats code?
I've added mine after this code in forumdisplay
</thead>
$forumbits
</table>
<br />
Why is this version Mod Version: .099c
Because that box let me put whatever i wanted in. And that sounded the coolest
What does it do?
This product will let you insert the whats going on box on forumdisplay. Current the only things that will appear are Who's Online, if you have Paul M's users visited in last 24hrs, and the forum stats box.
Why did you make this?
There have been numerous posts, and even paid requests for such a product but I've never seen one released, plus it looks cool on my forums
Will you make me something cool?
No
Can You Release That Awesome Skin?
No and it probably never will be :)
Do you have screenshots?
Yes! See attachments
Can you add users birthdays and events to this?
Perhaps in a future release if there is demand for it.
What If I don't Have Paul M's plugin installed?
Who doesn't these days?! But open up the newly created forumhome_stats template and remove
<!-- Paul M's WHO VISITED TODAY -->
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_todayusers')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_todayusers" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_todayusers].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$whotitle
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_todayusers" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_todayusers]">
<tr>
<td class="alt2"><a href="memberlist.php"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a></td>
<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$whotoday</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<!-- PAUL M WHO VISITED TODAY -->
What If i want to add/remove something else to the block?
Open up the forumdisplay_stats template and modify it as you see fit.
Were all these FAQ neccassary
Probably not, but I see everyone else doing it, and I wanted a long meaningful release thread as well.
