Total views on non-vb page (Query included)

[wooolF[RM]]

]hello...

I'll make it fast and easy : All I want is to display TOTAL VIEWS on a non-vb page.

QUERY: "SELECT SUM(views) AS threadviews FROM thread"
Where file will be : OUTSIDE of vbb folder
How will I include this PHP file : <? include("totalviews.php"); ?>

That is it... quick and simple... I may sound like an idiot, but right now I'm exploding because of madness... I have tried to get this script to work in the past 5 hours... I spent over 3 hours on the forum searching for include, non-vb page etc... I skimmed over 300 threads and I looked into all hacks...

<-- desperate... :ermm:


PS: I have tried to use Tobedogg's hack as a base ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12010&highlight=online+nonvb ) but had no positive results

]Here's code I tried to use...<?

$path = "/home/wooolf/WWW/forum/admin"; // set the path to your admin directory. see above for info about this.


require("$path/config.php");
$db=mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassw ord);
mysql_select_db($dbname);

$cookievalue = mysql_query("SELECT value FROM setting WHERE varname = 'cookietimeout'") or die("oops1");
$cookietimeout = mysql_result($cookievalue, 0, 0);
$datecut = time()-$cookietimeout;

$total = mysql_query("SELECT SUM(views) AS threadviews FROM thread") or die("goddamnit");
while($total = mysql_fetch_array($total)):
$totalviews = number_format($total[threadviews]);
endwhile;

echo("$totalviews");

?>

Results: Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/wooolf/WWW/forum/totalviews.php on line 15
469,001


Line 15: while($total = mysql_fetch_array($total)):


PS::: this is just one of the 300 ways I have tried to do it... :(

]Here's FULL script which WORKS in the vBB folder, but does NOT work when u try to include it from outside :

unusable...

[wooolF[RM]]

]Here's NICE nice output that I'm getting out of this script

And this output does NOT want to be included any places... :( I mean it does not work if you will try to include it as php file in a portal or phpnuke or whatever ( a webinterface outside of vBB folder )

Try this one:


<?php
mysql_connect("$servername", "$dbusername", "$dbpassword") or die("Couldnt find MYSQL!");
mysql_select_db("$dbname") or die ("Couldnt find DB!");
$cekilen=mysql_query("SELECT SUM(views) AS threadviews FROM thread");
if (mysql_error()) {echo "mySQL error:"; echo mysql_error(); exit;}
else
{echo mysql_result($cekilen,0);}
?>


Your query returns 1 row/1 field, so your dont need to deal with "while"s or "mysql_fetch_array"s. "mysql_result" does the trick..;)

]yay! :] it worked! thanx Logician!!! :D

used this script:<?

$path = "/home/wooolf/WWW/forum/admin"; // set the path to your admin directory. see above for info about this.


require("$path/config.php");
mysql_connect("$servername", "$dbusername", "$dbpassword") or die("Couldnt find MYSQL!");
mysql_select_db("$dbname") or die ("Couldnt find DB!");
$totalviews=mysql_query("SELECT SUM(views) AS threadviews FROM thread");
if (mysql_error()) {echo "mySQL error:"; echo mysql_error(); exit;}
else
{echo mysql_result($totalviews,0);}
?>

]everything from my script works except 3 thing:{echo mysql_result($totalonline,0);} echo("<br><br>");
{echo mysql_result($numbervisible,0);} echo("<br><br>");
{echo mysql_result($numberguest,0);} echo("<br><br>");
This means I get parse errors when I wan to see how many members are online in total/members/guests...

I use this script for it:
<?

$path = "/home/wooolf/WWW/forum/admin"; //where's config
require("$path/config.php"); //get config settings


mysql_connect("$servername", "$dbusername", "$dbpassword") or die("Couldnt find MYSQL!"); //connect to the server
mysql_select_db("$dbname") or die ("Couldnt find DB!"); //select proper DB

// STARTING QUERIES HERE
$aktiveuser = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(userid) as anzahl FROM user");
$registers = mysql_query("SELECT userid, username FROM user ORDER BY userid DESC LIMIT 1");
$datecut=time()-$cookietimeout;
$loggedins=mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS sessions FROM session WHERE userid=0 AND lastactivity>$datecut");
$numberguest=$loggedins['sessions'];
$loggedins=mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT session.userid,username,invisible,usergroupid
FROM session
LEFT JOIN user ON (user.userid=session.userid)
WHERE session.userid>0 AND session.lastactivity>$datecut
ORDER BY invisible ASC, username ASC");
while ($loggedin=mysql_query($loggedins)) {
$numberregistered++;
if ($loggedin['invisible']==0 or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6) {
$numbervisible++;
}
}
$totalonline=$numberregistered+$numberguest;
$numberinvisible=$numberregistered-$numbervisible;
// END OF QUERIES HERE

if (mysql_error()) {echo "mySQL error:"; echo mysql_error(); exit;} //show error if any
else
{echo mysql_result($totalonline,0);} echo("<br><br>");
{echo mysql_result($numbervisible,0);} echo("<br><br>");
{echo mysql_result($numberguest,0);} echo("<br><br>");

?>

Any ideas? :) thanx for any help

[wooolF[RM]]

]looks like something wrong with $loggedins=mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS sessions FROM session WHERE userid=0 AND lastactivity>$datecut");

... ? :/

$totalonline=$numberregistered+$numberguest;
$numberinvisible=$numberregistered-$numbervisible;

$totalonline and $numberinvisible variables are not query result resources, they are ordinary integer variables so why do you use them inside mysql_result?

As for "$loggedins": use that one in mysql_result because it is a query result. So you should use it like that:

$numberguest=mysql_result($loggedins,0);

]Hmmm... now I use this script:

$numberguest=mysql_result($loggedins,0);

else
{echo $totalonline;} echo("<br><br>");
{echo $numbervisible;} echo("<br><br>");
{echo mysql_result($numberguest,0);} echo("<br><br>");

?>



same result : Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/wooolf/WWW/forum/totalviews.php on line 43

:( :( :( :( :(

line 43: {echo mysql_result($numberguest,0);} echo("<br><br>");

[Logician]

mysql_result should be used once for a variable. Then the assigned var becomes an ordinary variable and you can use it WITHOUT mysql_result.. So you used

$numberguest=mysql_result($loggedins,0);


in your code and assign the result to "$numberguest" var which is now an ORDINARY variable. From now on whenever when you want to use $numberguest use it as it is (ie. without mysql_result!)

So replace line echo mysql_result($numberguest,0); to

echo $numberguest;

BTW you else syntax is wrong either: it should be:


if (mysql_error()) {echo "mySQL error:"; echo mysql_error(); exit;} //show error if any
else
{
echo $totalonline ;
echo $numbervisible ;
echo $numberguest;
}


Seems you are tired, give it a rest.. ;)

[wooolF[RM]]

I think MAYBE it's because of $cookietimeout variable... it's not defined any places... what do you think?

[wooolF[RM]]

]well... maybe I'm tired :) maybe... but I have to get it working... :)

by now I have no errors anymore! YAY!

but visual results are:

Active Users 0
Active Members
Active Guests 0

And forum tells me this:
Active Users 46
Active Members 24
Active Guests 22


So... maybe you are tired too :)
Because Active Users and Active Guests working only at 50% (show wrong results) and Active Members doesn't show anything at all...

:( grrrrrrrrrrrr... why should everything be so difficult? :/

]you're the man, Logician! :) worked perfectly...

as you see, it's not easy to get it working... u have to use different ways... well... that's PHP...

anyway, THANX A LOT!!! I really appreciate your help :)
