sql call header stats

[GS-Liam]

Hi

I would like to add some stats in the header (like postcount, members, ...)
I found a thread which explains you can only use the variables in FORUMHOME (or something similar).

THere is a way around which I tried and was explained, but I dont have the full code.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to AdminCP > Plugins
Add a new plugin using global_start. Use this code.

// forum stats start
$numbersmembers = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS users,MAX(userid) AS max FROM user");
$numbermembers= number_format($numbersmembers['users']);
$totalthreads = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(threadid) FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread");
$totalthreads = implode(",",$totalthreads);
$totalposts = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(postid) FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post");
$totalposts = implode(",",$totalposts1);

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

these work perfectly.
But how do I add the amount of people online and newest member?

these are the variables in the theme:
Online: $totalonline | Newest : <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$newuserid">$newusername</a> (Welcome!)


Kind regards

Plese ask in the thread where you found this code.

[GS-Liam]

euhm okay, and is there a reason for asking it elsewhere?

problem is that thread has been dead for over a year. And I really would like to fix this template within the next three days.

EDIT: I've been trying to search further and went into phpmyadmin.
I found the 'stats' table but don't think I can use it. Are these updated regulary? or just when they are called upon?

If I you can just help me with the place to look for, I would be a step further. I will try to solve it if i could just get a boost.


regards

EDIT_2

SOLVED

Well I've finally found it after 3 hours of searching, learning, headaches...

For those who are interested in this feature:

First off go to AdminCP > Plugins
Add a new plugin using global_start. Use this code.

// forum stats start
$numbersmembers = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS users,MAX(userid) AS max FROM user");
$numbermembers= number_format($numbersmembers['users']);
$totalthreads = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(threadid) FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread");
$totalthreads = implode(",",$totalthreads);
$totalposts = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(postid) FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post");
$totalposts = implode(",",$totalposts);
$datecut = TIMENOW - $vbulletin->options['cookietimeout'];
$getnewestmember=$db->query_first("SELECT userid, username FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid=$numbersmembers[max]");
$newusername = $getnewestmember['username'];
$newuserid = $getnewestmember['userid'];
$headerguests=$db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session WHERE userid=0 AND lastactivity>$datecut");
$headerusers=$db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(userid)) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session WHERE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session.userid>0 AND " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session.lastactivity>$datecut");
$headerguests=$headerguests[count];
$headerusers=$headerusers[count];
$totalonline=$headerguests+$headerusers;
// forum stats endThis will allow the above 3 variables to work on any VB page.


In your header you can then use:
Discussions: $totalthreads | Messages: $totalposts | Members: $numbermembers | Online: $totalonline | Newest : <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$newuserid">$newusername</a> (Welcome!)


Hope this helps.
