Members, threads, posts, and online users

How exactly can I display the number of registered members, threads, posts, and online users in my forum header?

This is going to involve modifying global.php or functions.php, I am not sure which one. Basicly the header template is parsed before almost every other template, so basicly your going to have to move those functios/variables around. I am unfamiliar with doing this, but hopefully some of the smarter members here will be able to help :D

Up! :noid:

You have to put the code somewhere before line 278 in global.php (the one in your main forums directory). I'd recommend putting it right before
// parse PHP include ##################

// parse PHP include ################## Great, thanks Kevin! :D I've got one more question, though. Which lines of code must I copy (from index.php into global.php) for the total number of online users? It appears to be a bit more complicated than the other three... :confused:

As done on this forum:
// get online users
$datecut=time()-$cookietimeout;
$headerguests=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM session WHERE userid=0 AND lastactivity>$datecut");
$headerusers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(userid)) AS count FROM session WHERE session.userid>0 AND session.lastactivity>$datecut");
$headeronline=$headerguests[count]+$headerusers[count];

Thanks Chen! :D

I'd like to install this hack, Firefly: would you like to document it as a proper hack? (If not, I'm happy to do so).

What a star.

Now, to find out how I get rid of the "register" link in my top bar, if the user's registered. That's got to be pretty easy.
